[00:00:00] That old saying living well is the best revenge is being rivaled Now by looking good. As the best revenge one of the popular Trends in plastic surgery is what they call Revenge surgery, divorce women who go into the knife to get back in the dating scene and just maybe get back at their ex [00:00:15] Ashleigh Banfield. Looking at this, you talk to doctors and some of the women as well and amazing. You look very young and married, this wine isn’t a joke. I got to be honest, it’s about a quarter of people according to a new study are walking into the plastic surgeon’s office, newly divorced, and they’re women, they’re getting everything from [00:00:30] – simple shot of Botox. Boop. Boop, here. And there to a whole new set of you know what, and it seems to be a message to their ex-husbands. You see what you’re Missin. Married mother of two Alicia Hunter, single [00:00:45] mother of two, a transformation even she can’t believe it’s very liberating to feel good within your own skin. 

I always thought it would be a little bit life-changing and it has been. She’s 60 pounds lighter with new breasts and a [00:01:00] few tweaks of Botox. And Alicia says, she’s never felt better if I hadn’t lost weight and done some tweaking. I don’t think I would really set foot outside of the house. Except to maybe go grocery shopping and pick up my kids from school. I think I wouldn’t have the nerve. [00:01:15] I don’t think I would have the guts to go out and be in the dating scene. Surprising, especially since Alicia works in the beauty business married, seven years. She and her ex husband split over three years ago and strange.

[00:01:30] She says, he compliments her now more than ever before. He was definitely complementary, which he was not when we were together, unfortunately, he knows very much. So yeah. He imagined that isn’t Revenge [00:01:45] surgery. I believe for some people, it probably is for me. Fortunately, it was not think it would be hard. If there were a petty reason for doing something other than for yourself and for your own self confidence, what do you say?

[00:02:00] To the people who say that is just so wrong. There are a lot of people that do feel that way. She says men get a break from the damage that pregnancy does to a woman’s body. It’s maybe a little softer, a little wider. Women are not really allowed to look like moms to look like moms. [00:02:15] They’re really not, she’s not the only one who feels this way. Dr. Marina Peridot is a dermatologist who herself got a few cosmetic tweaks after her divorce. Breakup was hard. You know, they feel like they failed at something. It’s very hard to pick.

[00:02:30] Then start after many years of marriage, and I think the fact they taken time and doing something for themselves for a change, dr. John Turk agrees, a New York plastic surgeon. Whose clients include supermodels. He says about 20% of his patients are post-divorce [00:02:45] some trying to fit in a procedure before they lose the credit card. But he says he warns angry ex wives about taking drastic action patients who come in who were bitter or angry about their divorce and looking to use surgery to either make them [00:03:00] their spouse jealous or to just, you know, feel some type of emotional void. Those are the ones that I think we need to really Council carefully. They always say, like the best revenge is looking good. This is Kelly Lang Berg before [00:03:15] she saw dr. Turk after her divorce for a little nip, and Tuck around the face. And neck, I think coming here and seeing dr. Turk is definitely, after you see her lawyer, probably the most important step after that, regardless, when Alicia hits the singles scene now,

[00:03:30] She surprised by the kind of attention. A 43-year old single mom can attract, I would say probably in their late 20s which is not somebody that I personally would date. It’s beyond flattering and does. She set a limit [00:03:45] on how young or old? She’ll date? I think the sky’s the limit personally. I think that it’s a wonderful time to be a woman. I think it’s a wonderful time to be a woman in their 40s.

Amen. Alicia and both Alicia [00:04:00] and Kelly say by the way, they never considered their procedures Revenge but instead confidence boosters and not surprisingly. The majority of post-divorce patients are women but George. Those were walking in. Are you suggesting – Attack lately, [00:04:15] have been more and more. It’s starting to rise. They are not admitting to it yet and I am not admitting to suggesting for a moment that you need anything, my friend. You look, lovely, lovely and talented jurist, seven of them have a great weekend.
