Plastic Surgery of the Soap Stars

[DaytimeFan]

Shaughnessy...home of my parents. Small. World.

[Sylph]

I'm amazed because I "sensed" it right away.

[remos]

I remember the street signs where I grew up said:

Stop

Arrêté la

Seriously, lol.... Northern NB

Most westerners don't even know the country extends beyond Quebec City to the east.... I wish I was joking.

I remember meeting an English student from France who asked what PT and ET meant behind our TV schedules. When I mentioned 7 time zones she was astonished.

[remos]

Europe is so much further ahead on this than we are.

Depending on where you live, French TV programs are either minimally available or not at all. Mind you, where I grew up all the porn was in French so there was more of a reason to watch. Gotta love French CBC....

I would be a Vancouver person, myself. Nice weather, beautiful scenery...I couldn't handle a Montreal Winter... the north end of the Ozarks is bad enough! I watched that decorating show that Ambrose Price has, and he's from Newfoundland.. the accent was very unusual, and incredibly sexy. I could just listen to him talk all day long!

Daytimefan... Thom has decided to get himself some lipo on his stomach and neck, and he's been sharing the process with his fans and friends. Fascinating stuff. He posted some before and after pics. He says there's not alot of pain. He said he used Dr. Harvey Abrams, and was very pleased with the result. The stomach especially made quite the difference:

Scholars actually go to Newfoundland to study Old English linguistic patterns.

[DaytimeFan]

Well, his stomach is clearly looking good. Already flat. Looks great actually.

Now, the neck...I wonder where exactly it's been done. I'm wondering if it isn't actually submental liposuction, it's done right under the chin to eliminate the fat pad that can give people a double chin. If so, it'll heal really well and look super natural. If it's of his actual neck...that's odd and rarely done.

[Llantano Incorporated]

Regarding Thom's surgery, am I insane thinking that the before picture of his stomach looks SO MUCH BETTER?? The fat in his upper stomach looks more like muscle to me. (I like beefy guys, myself).. Oh Daytimefan we need your expertise.. and neck lipo SCARES ME! That wand going in and out of your NECK?? I am guessing it would be a very small needle?

[remos]

The whole thing just looks gross to me. Lypo? SIT-UPS!!!

[alphanguy74]

Thom works out three times a week, and that little pad never goes away. For some people, I guess it doesn't. He had it years ago, just usually put his arm over it:

[DaytimeFan]

I think both stomachs look good, I can see what you're saying about his fat pad looking like a muscle, but in clothes I'm willing to bet it just looks like beer gut.

Neck lipo, if it's actually the neck...would be something I would not advise. The skin of the neck tends to drape poorly, age poorly and there are so many important blood vessels there, I just wouldn't go there. Submental liposuction, on the other hand, is totally safe, totally natural looking and is done with a very small canulla (the needle that sucks the fat). It gets rid of the double chin perfectly. If I ever develop a double chin, I'll have submental liposuction, it's THAT safe, you aren't even under general anaesthesia for it.

At a point sit ups and exercise and diet don't always cut it. Thom's hitting 50, hormonally, he's not in a great place to get ripped. Liposuction was probably his only answer.

Thom wrecked his face, what a handsome guy, he looks so different now. Sort of like Jennifer Grey. Not bad, just different.

[alphanguy74]

it must have been submental, because he specifically said he did not go under general anesthesia. And his bandages go from under his chin around to the top of his head, but not around his actual neck. I don't think he wrecked his face... but I like him better before. The pouty lips and soft features. Hea wanted that masculaine jawline, and he thought his chin was weak. I didn't think so at all. If I were him, I would have fixed my teeth and let it go at that (his teeth were pretty crooked).

[remos]

That's all well and good, but at some point it's all going to return anyway. You're hard pressed today to find a woman who's had children and doesn't have a little paunch at her lower abdomen, no matter how thin they are. The body is what it is - that's life. I can't fathom the mental gymnastics actors must go through to justify this for themselves.

One ironic problem with Vancouver (aside from their horrible homeless problem, which comes with the good weather I guess--it's still not as bad as Seattle's) is ironically you really need a car, unless you live in one of the more expensive areas like the West End (and Vancouver is VERY expensive--Hell, so is Victoria especailly on the water where I live--housing costs are insane). For the olympics they finally expanded the SkyTrain so that you can basically take it to the airport or the ferries but it's still not super convenient and their bus system is a mess. Montreal on the other hand has a pretty brilliant metro and transportation system (and because Montreal went into heavy poverty in the 70s, it never had the mass exodus to the suburbs that most cities did in the 60s and 70s--so there'sa lot of affordable housing right downtown).
