plastic surgery

What: Layla Mahmoud, a 26-year-old woman, said cosmetic surgery is very much needed if some one is suffering from low self-esteem and something about her looks disturbs her. "Medicine in the first place is not about treatment; it's just improving the quality of life. Looks affect your life in general. I am very convinced plastic surgery is like psychiatry with knives," Layla said.

What: "The plastic surgeon has to have a good eye and he has to be very compulsive. Skill and judgment come with experience. Plastic surgery is like sculpture; it requires meticulous attention to detail and as much time as necessary to get the best possible result. So you will never be rushed through surgery. I don't do more than the three operations in one day for this reason."

Everyone's seen Joan Rivers -- she's probably had more plastic surgery than any human being I know. I still would rather have a Victoria Secret model."
