"Another reason doctors say younger women are going under the knife? The increasing use of cosmetic treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers, which many women turn to in their 20s. As Dr. Mike Nayak, a facial plastic surgeon in St. Louis, put it: 'When you start Botox at 25, by the time you reach 40, getting a facelift seems like not such a big leap.'”

"One curious visit to a dermatologist became a routine visit every six months wherein I’d usually just tell the doctor, 'Do whatever you think I need.' That often resulted in me getting neuromodulator injected into my forehead, around my eyes, and in my jaw muscles plus filler in my lips, cheeks, and jaw."

SSK Plastic Surgery discloses it experienced a hack and extortion attempt in 2024:

https://databreaches.net/2025/03/08/ssk-plastic-surgery-discloses-it-experienced-a-hack-and-extortion-attempt-in-2024/

Plastic surgery groups tend to store a lot of patient data that is extremely sensitive.... and with pictures and videos.

In 2023, I wrote to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and urged them to issue a guidance or article to their members about NOT attaching patients' names as filenames to nude photos and to storing patient data more securely.

AFAIK, they did NOT follow up by warning members NOT to store nude photos with patient names. They issued an alert about phishing.

And so the problem continues.... the New York Plastic Surgical Group got hit in January 2024, and then Jaime Schawartz, MD got hit in March 2024 as did SSK Plastic Surgery. How many more plastic surgery groups will we read about?

And for those who don't already know: some of the leak sites are STILL online and exposing nude patient photos and/or files with PII and PHI. In some cases, the threat actors encourage patients to contact them directly to pay to have their data removed. One group was initially charging patients $2500. They now charge about $500 for removal.

Aaargh...

I wish @cisacyber and the @FBI would issue a warning to plastic surgery groups specific to this issue.

South Korea's protracted political crisis has left the country's hospitality sector wary of its potential impact, as some overseas travelers cancel trips following last week's surprise declaration of martial law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/12/12/asia-pacific/society/south-korea-soft-power-risk/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #southkorea #yoonsukyeol #tourism #martiallaw #plasticsurgery

IMO plastic surgery should be reserved for those who need it, not those who want it and have spare change to throw at a "doctor". It's used by too many people (men AND women) to make themselves "perfect" while removing themselves from humanity.

Case in point:

The use of Botox to make men’s scrotums less wrinkly, a treatment known as Scrotox and in use since at least 2016, has not yet been approved by the FDA for a smoother scrotum appearance. I think that’s pretty nuts.

If you ever had plastic surgery would you deny you did it?

British couple obsessed with #plasticsurgery

@renwillis

I have a problem with the greedy sleazebag surgeons who allow her to get the surgeries.

These people do...not...care!

#Plasticsurgery is also an #LGBTQIAplus issue. #transpeople, #gaymen, etc. Gender people often feel like they have to conform to what people expect them to look like.

Gay men, as young as 25, start going on about keeping wrinkles away or whatever. I hear my friends talking about how they are 'pushing 25' years old. WTF.

There's a problem with not appreciating age, and not appreciating various types of beauty in the world.
