Legislator Wants Tighter Rules On Plastic Surgery

State Rep. Monique Davis said she would like to see a board-certified plastic surgeon affiliated with an accredited hospital or university to perform all such procedures.

The proposal comes in the wake of the death of rapper Kanye West's mother, Donda, NBC5's Sharon Wright reported. That death raised questions about the safety of plastic surgery.

While many said they feel the proposed legislation has its merits, some also expressed concerns.

"I think the one thing we have to be careful of is setting up a situation where we go from one extreme all the way to another extreme," said Dr. Michael Lee of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "Which I think is not also reasonable."

Davis told Wright the proposal was on hold, as more medical professionals help craft a law that will help prevent more tragedies like West's. Davis said she hoped to have the bill ready for a vote during the next legislative session.

Madonna’s Black Eyes: Plastic Surgery?

Madonna has been an enigma to fans ever since she stopped aging a decade ago. With rumors of plastic surgery being repeatedly denied by Madonna, people have been left to wonder if the star’s macrobiotic diet and intense workouts are the real reason for Madonna’s remarkable youthful look. All doubts may now be cast aside, as seeing Madonna with two black eyes hidden under a pair of sunglasses leaving a medical building in New York on Monday have renewed rumors that 49-year old Queen of Pop has undergone a mini face lift, or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or some other facial plastic surgery.

The case for Madonna having plastic surgery is quite convincing, as earlier this year Madonna shocked audiences with her unbelievably refreshed look at the 2007 Oscars, which led Make Me Heal and other insiders to believe that she treated herself to some minimally invasive facial cosmetic procedures such as Thermage, dermal fillers like Botox, and possibly even a mini facelift. With the under-eye bruises in toe, the case for a mid-facelift becomes plausible.
