Paging Dr. 90210

Last night I saw something that really disturbed me. And let's face it, it takes a lot to bother me. I was channel surfing when I found Dr. 90210 on the E! channel. The premis of this show is to showcase plastic surgery and the surgeons. This episode also featured 3 women, a porn star trying to go straight (Tabitha Stevens), and a pair of sisters, one who was 17 and the other 24. Yeah, I shit you not, 17 and getting plastic surgery.

Tabitha Stevens apparently has has a ton of plastic surgery, from everything to a nose job, chin implants, cheek implants, and of course the requisit boob job. Her cheek implants were badly done to the point where they were interfering with her ability to see properly. She had them removed and had new ones SCREWED IN. Oddly enough, she admitted that she was addicted to plastic surgery and that young girls shouldn't get it too young because once you fix one thing, you start to look at everything else critically.

The sisters, Mary (17) and Jenny (24), come in with their mother to discuss how they'd like to improve their self-esteem through plastic surgery. Mary (who in my opinion is not even done GROWING) wants bigger boobs because she's tired of being flat chested. During the examination, she looks to be normal and in proportion to her body type. Go figure. Her mother is supportive. Yikes! Jenny apparently has struggled with her weight over the years and wants a tummy tuck, liposuction, a boob job, and liposuction on her chin as well. By the time they're done with her, she looks drawn and quartered.

I guess what really weirded me out was watching Jenny's examination, because my body is similar to hers. Mind you, I am not the picture of health, but having your body sliced, diced, sucked, and sewn together isn't going to get you healthy either. And seeing Mary bothered me because she's so YOUNG and she looks FINE. Her boyfriend didn't see the point of her getting implants, and her best friend thought it showed that she cared more about her outsides than her insides. That and I know at 17 I didn't inherit the family boobs. I was small chested and it was fine. I didn't get boobs until closer to being 23. So what's going to happen when this girl has another growth spurt?

I personally don't think plastic surgery is the answer to anything but horrific accidents. Want to freak out for yourself? Dr. 90210 is on E! at 10pm on Mondays and repeats Sunday at 9.

Comments:
I totally agree.
It's all sickening.

You shouldn't be allowed to hack up your body until you are at least 30.
