On the Business of Fat

Most of us could stand to lose a few pounds. Plastic surgery can help -- but it is not a cure for obesity.

Local plastic surgeon Dr. Russell Kitchens says people have called him up and asked if he can get rid of 25 or 30 pounds. Are these people for real?

The max he can eliminate is about 3 pounds, said Kitchens. Seems like science has not quite eliminated the need for personal responsibility.

For more info on where to Botox, whiten and straighten, I slice and dice the local plastic surgery scene in Sunday's paper.
