Surgery to me is not something that I go into lightly and the surgeries I have had have been necessary ones. With all of that pain, and after going through a few surgeries, I would more than likely never have any type of plastic surgery done unless it was to repair my body from an accident or something of that sort.

But today more and more women (and even men) are messing with nature and having more than just little imperfections fixed. The days where plastic surgeons were operating just on nose jobs and boob jobs are long gone. Plastic surgery has now gone to a whole new level.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. David Allessi, says that in his 18 years of being in surgery, he has received a lot of strange requests but now he says he has heard the oddest request of all…Dr. Allessi had a consultation with a 25-year-old woman who wanted to have her belly button removed.

Some other strange extreme requests that are continuing to grow in the plastic surgery arena, which they are dubbing as “fashion” surgeries are:

Toe shortening (yes, you read that right!)
Butt implants (hey, they can have some of mine!)
Labia downsizing (I’m not even going to go there!)

Vaginal rejuvenations have increased by 30% in 2007 and butt implants increased by 18%.

What is even more surprising is that most of the people that are requesting these extreme procedures are those who are plastic surgery virgins. Dr. Allessi says that a lot of his young patients think about getting plastic surgery the way they’d think about getting their hair done.
