So exactly when Fox News wants to interview me on plastic surgery and the unemployed, I manage to get Bell's palsy (1/2 your face is weak and can be paralyzed...but it 'almost always' goes away). The problem is words get slurred, impossible to not spill drinks out of your mouth besides looking like you've had a mild stroke. And then they want to film me from the affected side.

Got thru that and talked about the usual stuff...breast augmentations, liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, etc. Had a patient do a tremendous job on her interview.

This week Fox wants to do one on male lipo. TV stations just assume they can call you anytime and get whatever they want/need, come into the surgery suite to film (hello?? Ever heard of hippa?)...and they usually do get whatever they want because of the power the media holds.
