New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein could be the poster child for plastic surgery gone wrong. While a little nip and tuck here and there can definitely take off some years, in Wildenstein's case it is just totally out of control. If proof were needed that money can't buy everything, look no further.

The rich divorcee has spent over 2 million pounds on cosmetic surgery in an effort to keep her husband, but has succeeded in only ruining her natural good looks. She has had numerous procedures over the decades. She first went under the knife way back in the 1970s, fearing her millionaire art dealer husband would leave her. In a bizarre twist, she decided to base her remodeled looks on exotic wild cats, which she loved. She believed that her husband might find her more attractive if she became "more feline".

Plastic surgery patients comprise a large number of men, reports a study conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It also discloses that the overall demand of plastic surgery procedures have increased by 9% in 2010.

Mapping the trends in plastic surgery in 2010, the Society reveals that more men are going under the knife to look younger in order to keep their jobs. Men, especially, over 55 years of age are considering plastic surgery to get rid of lines around the eyes, between the eyes and on the forehead. This takes off some years from their face and helps them look younger and keep their jobs in the tight economy. As per the study, men have undergone 750,000 plastic surgeries in 2010. This is up 164% since 1997, when the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery first began tracking the figures.

The top five plastic surgery procedures men are opting for are liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast reduction and cosmetic ear surgery.

What started as a plastic surgery gone wrong in Europe could become a landmark case for the future of the Internet. A Spanish plastic surgeon has taken his fight against Google to the EU in an effort to have a single, negative Goolge search result for his name expunged from the record.

Google refuses to do it, and the company's power in the US has been enough to keep it form having to do any individual scrubs. But in the EU, regulators may take less kindly to the Internet giant and force Google to let people have more control over what shows up about them in the search engine's results. Plastic surgeon Hugo Guidotti Russo wants Google to remove a 1991 news article about a patient who was angry with him over an allegedly botched plastic surgery. However, the article does not mention that Russo was later cleared of wrongdoing in the surgery, and it shows up on Russo's first page of results.
