Emini emaqanda kwafika ugqirha weplastiki uDaniel Baker. Ngentsasa yangoMvulo, Okt. Ukubonakala kwakhe kwafika njengento engamnkelekanga kuGqirha Matarasso: Andizange ndingene kwigumbi lakhe lokusebenza, waphunga.
Ugqirha Baker wema wema wabukela ngexa uGqirha Matarasso esenza inkqubo entsha ebizwa ngokuba kukuphakanyiswa kobuso obufutshane kumfazi oseleminyaka iphakathi etafileni yokusebenza. Yinkqubo leyo uGqirha Baker waziva enolawulo oluthile ngayo. Wayesebenze malunga ne-750 yabo kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo-malunga ne-500 ukusukela ngo-1998-kwaye ebesandula ukubhala amaphepha amabini ezifundo kulwazi lokuphakamisa ubuso (olwehlisa ngesiqingatha ubungakanani besikere esibalisayo esasolulelwe ukusuka etempileni ukuya emva kwendlebe, yonke indlela ejikeleze icala lentloko, ngokwenza endaweni into engafakwanga ibonakale phambi kwendlebe) eyamkelweyo ukuba ipapashwe kwiphephancwadi i-Aesthetic Society Journal kaJanuwari-Februwari. Inction ayisiyonto intsha-iminyaka, incinci; abaguli baya kufumana into ebizwa ngokuba kukuphakamisa mini basebenzise ubuchule obufanayo-kodwa ogqirha khange bacinge ukuba bangasebenza kwiingxaki zentamo ngokusika okuncinci. Ugqirha Baker wayesebenza ekuphikiseni oko. Wayemenyiwe ukuba azokuveza iziphumo zakhe kwi-35 yonyaka ka-Baker Gordon Symposium kwi-Cosmetic Surgery, inkomfa yeplastikhi yotyando eyayibanjelwe eMiami ngoFebruwari (neyabanjwa ngokubambisana nogqirha weplastikhi uThomas J. Baker, engenabudlelwane no-Daniel Baker) Kwaye nangona iqaqobana loogqirha bejikeleze i-United States babesebenza kule ndlela-ngokukodwa, uJoel Feldman wase-Boston, owayenikezele ngephepha kuhlobo lwakhe lokuphakamisa ubuso kwintlanganiso ye-Aesthetic Society kwintlanganiso eyadlulayo, no-Gerald Imber, Ugqirha wotyando waseManhattan owaziwayo ngokwenza ubuchule obufanayo awabubiza ngokuba yiLIFT-uGqr. U-Baker wayijonga njengolwazi oluqhelekileyo ukuba wayemhle kakhulu kwisikwere esifutshane phakathi kwama-50 okanye ugqirha weplastiki eManhattan Eye, Indlebe kunye nomqala.
U-Dr. Baker wothukile ngale ntsasa yangoMvulo, xa oogxa bakhe ebebeye kwi-American Society of Plastic Surgery meeting eLos Angeles kwiveki ephelileyo baxele kuye ukuba babone uGqirha Matarasso enika ingxelo ngeziphumo zakhe kubuso obufutshane -Kuphakamisa ngaphandle kwencam yomnqwazi kuDkt Baker. Kwakumkhathaza uGqirha Baker ukucinga ukuba uGqirha Matarasso wancedwa liqela elinye labahlali nabongikazi ababembukele esenza le nkqubo amatyeli amaninzi.
Kwizonyango, siliqela elivulekileyo kwaye senza izimvo zokutshintshiselana, utshilo uGqirha Baker. Kodwa ngesiqhelo asinawo umntu weba into omnye umntu abesebenza kuyo iminyaka eliqela kwaye ayiveze. Ke uGqirha Baker wagqiba kwelokuba enze uphando oluncinci ngokwakhe.
Kwigumbi lokusebenza, uGqirha Matarasso waqala ukusebenza kwi-SMAS yabasetyhini, umaleko wethishu egubungela ulwakhiwo olunzulu (njengemithambo-luvo) esidleleni, ngelixa uGqirha Baker, umongikazi kunye nesibulali-ntlungu bejongile. Ngexesha endandikulo SMAS, ndandixhalabile, ukhumbula uGqirha Matarasso. Wonke umntu osegumbini wayebona ukuba kuya kusiba nzima.
Waqala ukuthunga i-intshi enesiqingatha se-intshi ngaphambili kwindlebe yasekhohlo awayeyenzile ngaphambi kokuba ahlinze ulusu ebusweni bomfazi. Ngaba yile ndlela uyenza ngayo? UGqirha Baker wamkhumbula ebuza. Lo mbuzo wacaphukisa uGqr Baker. UAlan, uyayazi into endiyenzayo, watsho xa uGqirha Matarasso ethungelweyo. Uyazi wonke umntu ebethetha ngalento bendiyenza iminyaka embalwa. Yiyo kanye le ndiyenzayo.
Ke, ngokukaGqirha Baker, uGqirha Matarasso wamxelela, ndazisa le eLos Angeles kwaye ndakunika ityala ngayo. (UGqr. Matarasso uthe akakhumbuli esitsho.) Owu? Utshilo uGqirha Baker, xa eguqukayo ephuma kwigumbi lokusebenza.
I-saga embi kwishishini lobuhle yayiqala nje.
UGqr Baker kunye noGqirha Matarasso abangoogqirha beplastiki. Phakathi kwee-junkies zotyando lwezithambiso-inani elingenakulinganiswa elihlala kwi-Upper East Side kwaye livela kwizikrini zeendawo ezininzi kuyo yonke indawo-omabini la madoda aphuhlise udumo njengeenkwenkwezi ezilingana nezigulana zabo ezidumileyo. Zombini zenza uhlobo lwemali oluya kubabeka kubakaki berhafu kaTom Cruise. Iofisi kaGqirha Matarasso e-1009 Park Avenue ine-raft yabathengi baseHollywood, nangona esala ukubiza amagama. Kwizangqa zotyando lweplastiki, uGqirha Matarasso, oneminyaka engama-47 ubudala, ungaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi kunoGqirha Baker-uthathwa njengenye yeendaba ezenza amaphephandaba, ileta-eya kumhleli-ukubhala kunye nejuggernaut , mhlawumbi waziwa kakhulu ngomsebenzi wakhe ngesisu esiswini, okanye isisu. Ugqirha Baker, ofundisa nakwiziko leYunivesithi yaseNew York, utyholwa ngelithi wamkele u-Barbara Walters, uSophia Loren no-Courtney Love kwi-ofisi yakhe ese-East 66th Street. Oko watshata intlalontle uNina Griscom kwi1990, uGqr Baker- olungeleleneyo, othethileyo kwaye ofana no-playboy wase-Europe u-Thierry Roussel-ufumene iprofayile yakhe. Kwaye bobabini ngekhe bavume, banengxaki yokunqongophala komntu okanye ukuthanda ukutya umntu omnye. (Ndine-CV inde kakhulu kunaye! UGqirha Matarasso wangenelela ngexesha elinye. Ndiza kuya ngqo emgceni naleyo. Inamaphepha angama-50 ubude! Kwaye ngokukaGqirha Matarasso, xa incoko yomnxeba phakathi kwaba babini Wacaphuka, uGqr. Baker wakhwaza: Awukhuphisani nam! Andinalo nokhuphiswano!) Ke umlo kaGqirha Baker noGqirha Matarasso malunga nobuso obufutshane bokuphakamisa ubuso-oko kukuthi, kuxhomekeke kwindlela jonga, nokuba ngumdlalo we-pissing onokuthi uzalwe kukhuphiswano lwangaphambi kokudodobala koqoqosho okanye ingxaki yokunyaniseka yokulunga-ayizukuntywila nanini na.
Ngokwesiqhelo, akukho nto iyothusayo eyenzekayo kwiindibano zotyando lweplastiki, kwaye iNtlanganiso yezeNzululwazi yama-69 yeAmerican Society of Plastic Surgeons kwiZiko leNgqungquthela laseLos Angeles lalibumba ukuba lingabikho. Yayilithuba loogqirha ukuba bathathe inani elifunekayo lezifundo (ezinje ngeRhinoplasty: Ndiyatshona kwaye Yonke Into Onokuthetha Ngayo Ngumbala Wamanzi) ukugcina ubulungu babo be-ASPS ngoku kwaye mhlawumbi bathathe i-laser entsha iofisi. NgeCawa, nge-Okthobha nge-15, usuku lokuqala lwentlanganiso, uGqirha Matarasso wamenywa, kunye nabanye oogqirha abathathu beplastikhi, ukuba bavele kwiphaneli yeyure ebizwa ngokuba yiPrayimari yokuPhakamisa ubuso kwiSigulana esiDala, esimodareyithwe yiplastikhi yaseDallas Ugqirha uFritz Barton, owayengumhlali oyintloko kaGqirha Baker kwiYunivesithi yaseNew York ngo-1976.
Iiphaneli aziqhelekanga kwiforamu apho unikezela ngolwazi olutsha, utshilo uGqirha Barton. Ukuba ucinga ukuba unento ebaluleke ngokwenene, kwaye inevolumu eyaneleyo kunye namava anokujongwa, emva koko uyingenisa njenge-abstract kwaye… ukuba kuvakala ukuba i-abstract inelungelo elaneleyo, iyavunyelwa ukuba iboniswe eqongeni. . UGqirha Matarasso khange ayenze lonto. Ke kwabakho umothuko phakathi kwabo bawaziyo umsebenzi kaGqirha Baker xa uGqirha Matarasso wayemi kwaye, emva kokwenza intetho yokuqala malunga neempawu zobuso obu-saggy, waqalisa kwiziphumo zakhe malunga nokususwa kobuso obufutshane. Uqikelele kwiscreen ngasemva kwakhe ngaphambi nasemva kokudutyulwa kolunye uthotho lwezigulana ezingama-50 ezilandelelanayo athe wenza kuzo isikhulisi esifutshane sobuso ukusukela oko waqala ukubanika bonke abo beza-nditsho nabadala ngokwenene. -kwinkqubo yakhe yaseNew York ekuqaleni kuka-Meyi 2000. Wacaphula abanye oogqirha ababini kuphela ababesenza utyando, uGqirha Feldman waseBoston noGqirha Foad Nahai waseAtlanta.
USherrell Aston, usihlalo wesebe lotyando lweplastikhi eManhattan Eye, Ear naseNtanyeni, wayekhona nakwiphaneli eLos Angeles, kwaye wothuka kancinci ukuba uGqirha Matarasso akazange alikhankanye igama likaGqirha Baker. Yayisaziwa kwisibhedlele sethu ukuba uGqirha Baker wayesebenzisa obu buchule, utshilo. Kwaye enye into iyamkhathaza uGqirha Aston: [UGqr. UMatarasso] uthe wenza ‘bonke abezayo,’ into ethetha ukuba wayesebenzisa obu buchule kubo bonke abaguli bakhe, nto leyo ngokokusebenza kwabo asebenza naye esibhedlele ayisiyiyo kwaphela le ndlela iyiyo. NgoMvulo emva kokuba ebuyele eNew York, uGqirha Aston wakhankanya le snub kuGqirha Baker, owathi emva koko watyhudisela kwigumbi lokusebenzela likaGqirha Matarasso. (Kwelakhe icala, uGqirha Matarasso uphawule ukuba mhlawumbi uGqirha Aston akalilo ingqina elinobuhlobo: Mna noSherrell asikhange sithethe ngaphezulu kweminyaka eli-10, uthe emva kokugqiba ubudlelwane bakhe eManhattan Eye, Ear naseNtanyeni, uGqr. U-Matarasso waya kusebenza e-ofisini ka-Aston, ubudlelwane amadoda omabini abuvumayo baphela ngento ebabayo. UGqirha Aston uthe kuphela, Kwakucacile ukuba kungangcono kuthi sobabini ukuba wayenendawo yakhe.)
Kamva, uGqr. U-Baker kunye noMatarasso babenencoko eyachazwa ngaphambili njengempucuko. Undibize ngokuba ndiyarhabaxa kwaye ndirhabaxa, uGqirha Matarasso waphikisa. Ugqirha Baker uthe ubize uGqirha Barton ukuze afumanise ukuba bekutheni na xa bekusenziwa intetho yakhe. Undixelele kwigumbi lokusebenza ukuba undinike ityala kwintlanganiso yaseLos Angeles, uyakhumbula esithi. Undixokisile.
UDan, yehlisa isantya ngoku, utshilo uGqirha Matarasso. Mna nawe sazana iminyaka eli-15.
Babuyela emva nangaphambili kancinci, kwaye ngaxa lithile kwincoko uGqirha Matarasso wakhankanya ukuba makangothuki, kodwa kwiveki elandelayo igama lakhe liyakukhankanywa ecaleni kukaGerald Imber kwiphephancwadi laseNew York malunga ne-scar-scar Ukuphakanyiswa kobuso kubhalwe nguBeth Landman Keil. Akuzange kuncede. Jonga, Alan, ndidanile ngokwenene, utshilo uGqirha Baker. Ungugqirha olungileyo, uphumelele, uxakekile. Ukwenza into engekho mgaqweni kakhulu kunye nokukopa nokunyusa… ayifanelekanga kwaphela.
Kwiiveki ezalandelayo, kwenzeke izinto ezimbalwa ezatyhafisa nayiphi na indoda, njengoko besitsho, ekubekeni ubuso bakhe phambili. Inqaku laseNew York laphuma, ixilongo inyani yokuba uGqirha Matarasso wanikezela ngale ndlela intsha eLos Angeles. Kwiintsuku ezintathu emva kokuba bencokole, i-ofisi kaGqirha Matarasso yakhupha ingxelo eyathunyelwa kwiintatheli malunga ne-PRNewswire ixilongo lokuba uGqirha Matarasso wanikezela ngobuchule bakhe obutsha eLos Angeles, apho, kwabaninzi, kwavakala ngathi i-ASPS Wayemmemile ukuba athethe ngayo. (UGqirha Matarasso ekuqaleni walukhanyela ulwazi malunga nokukhutshwa kweendaba, kodwa ke wabuya wavuma ukuba amantombazana e-ofisini yam ayonwabile kwaye ayithumela. Emva kwexesha, uGqirha Matarasso uxelele I-Braganca ukuba uzamile ukuthintela ukukhutshwa kweendaba, kodwa wandixelela yayisele ithunyelwe.) UGqirha Matarasso kunye nokuphakamisa kwakhe ubuso obufutshane kukhankanyiwe kwiphephancwadi le-W koogqirha abaphambili beplastiki. Emva koko abaguli baqala ukuza kwi-ofisi kaGqirha Baker bebuza ukuba angakwazi na ukwenza ubuchule bukaGqirha Matarasso.
Ugqirha Baker waqala ukuthetha ngenkomo yakhe-kakhulu. Wayesenza yonke le minxeba iphambeneyo eNew York, utshilo uGqirha Matarasso. Amabali angaqhelekanga aqala ukujikeleza, anje ngelithi okwethutyana uGqirha Matarasso, um-Sephardic Jew, wayexelela abantu ukuba uyiNtaliyane. Abahlobo bakaGqirha Matarasso babengenantloni zokuba ingqumbo kaGqirha Baker yayinento yokwenza neengxaki zobuqu awayenazo entwasahlobo ephelileyo, eyathi yaphelela kwinto ehlazisayo yokuba wayecinga ngokuzibulala. Ukupapashwa, abanye babanga, kuye kwamxabela kwishishini nakwindawo yokuhlala.
Ngo-Okthobha u-30, uGqirha Baker wathumela ileta ku-Gerald Pitman, umhleli weempawu ze-Aesthetic Society Journal-apho apapasha amaphepha akhe okunyusa ubuso kunye nalapho uGqirha Matarasso ekwangumhleli-ocela isiqinisekiso sokuba uAlan UMatarasso akazukuvunyelwa ukuba abone okanye abe nokufikelela kwi-manuscript kunye nemifanekiso de kube kugqityiwe ukukhutshwa kweJenali. UGqr. Baker c.c.d ngabagqirha abaziwayo abathandathu beplastiki kunye nabahleli abathathu be-ASJ.
Kwingcebiso kaGqirha Baker, i-The Braganca yathetha noPark Avenue ugqirha weplastikhi uMichael Kane, owenzakalayo ukurenta indawo kwiofisi kaGqirha Baker. Ugqirha Kane uthe ngelixa wayencedisa uGqirha Matarasso e-ofisini yakhe ngo-1996, wambonisa indlela esetyenzisiweyo encinci yokujova ityhefu ye-botulism (Botox) entanyeni, awayeyisebenzisa ukunqanda oko kubizwa ngokuba yi-turkey-necking. . Ugqirha Kane uthe uGqirha Matarasso akazange ayithenge. Wathi, ‘Hayi, akukho ndlela. Ayinakusebenza kakuhle entanyeni. Intamo ifuna utyando, utshilo uGqirha Kane.
Wayefana ngokuchasene nayo, kwaye ndithi, 'Hayi, hayi, iyasebenza ngokwenene kwabanye abantu.' Kwintlanganiso yeplastikhi yotyando malunga nonyaka emva koko, uGqr Kane wathi wagileka kuGqirha Matarasso. UAlan wayekwishedyuli ethetha ngokujoba iBotox entanyeni, utshilo. Wayiveza nje ngokungathi wayenolu luvo lukhulu. (Nantso into! Ugqirha Matarasso waphikisa, esithi uGqirha Kane akazange akhe amhlabe eofisini yakhe, kuphela esibhedlele, kwaye umntakwabo Seth, ugqirha wesikhumba eCalifornia, wamazisa ngombono wokujova iBotox andizange ndincokole.)
Nge-3 kaDisemba ngo-Disemba malunga nexesha uGqirha Matarasso ebeka imigqaliselo kwinqaku awayeza kulithumela ku-Gqirha Baker, bobabini baxolise ngokungalikhankanyi igama lakhe eLos Angeles kwaye bavakalise amathemba akhe, Umoya weeholide, esi sibini sinokuwubeka lo mbandela emva kwabo-umbhali weNew York Times uAlex Witchell wapapasha ikholamu malunga nomcebisi ngeplastiki kunye nomlobi uWendy Lewis. (UGqr. Matarasso ubhale intshayelelo kwincwadi kaNks. Lewis.) Kwinqaku, omnye wabathengi bakaNks Lewis baphakamisa ubuso bathi, uWendy ucebise uDan Baker kunye noAlan Matarasso, kwaye ndibabona bobabini kwaye ndibathanda . Isiqwenga sika Mnu. Witchell siyaqhubeka ukuba eli bhinqa lakhetha uGqirha Matarasso emva kokuba limbonise ukusikwa okufutshane (indlela entsha yokuphakamisa ubuso). Ugqirha Matarasso uthe akayazi ukuba esi siqwenga siza kuphuma. Bendigula yilento, utshilo. Bendingazi ukuba ndenzeni, kuba bendisazi ukuba le nto izakumphambanisa.
Nangona uGqirha Matarasso wayengabonakali ngathi luhlobo oluza kubuya umva ngokulula, wenza isandi soxolelwaniso. Khange ndiyisungule, watsho nge-short-scar-face-lift. Khange ndiyiliyele nokuba incinci. Ndiyifumene ukuba isebenzele mna. Ukuba bendinokukwenza konke oku namhlanje, xa ndaphakama kwintlanganiso yesizwe ndaza ndakhankanya oogxa bam ababini, uFeldman noNahai, ngokuqinisekileyo ngendilikhankanyile igama likaDan.
Ngelixa uGqirha Baker eziva enzakele kwaye enomsindo, kwaye uGqirha Matarasso uziva etshutshiswa ngokungekho sikweni kwaye exolile, omnye umfana wayebonakala ngathi ufumana ukukhaba okukhulu kuyo yonke loo nto. Ndibhalile ngale nto kwincwadi yam, i-Corridor yoLutsha, phambi kokuba naba bafana bacinge ngayo, utshilo uGerald Imber otyhafileyo, utata weLIFT. Uthe weva konke malunga nokusebenza kukaGqirha Matarasso eLos Angeles kwaye umlindi uyanuka. Uthe oko kwamqhubela ekubeni aqale ukumba ngokusebenzisa i-1,500 ye-LIFT iinkqubo zakhe ukuze alungiselele iphepha lakhe. Uye wathi uyenza intle kakhulu ngesizathu esifanayo sikaDan Baker ukuyenza: Kuyaphazamisa ubuncinci ukubona umntu eba indudumo yakho. Kodwa uGqirha Imber, ngokungafaniyo nabo babekhuphisana naye bobabini, wayengasebenzi. Ebehleka.
Bayeke balwe, utshilo. Ngubani onika ikaka? Ingumcimbi omncinci kakhulu kubo ukuba benze yonke le mithambo ngaphezulu koku. Ugqirha Imber akazange abonakale ekwabelana ngokungathandekiyo kukaGqirha Baker kuGqirha Matarasso okanye ugqirha uMatasaso wokutsala umatshini wokushicilela. (UGqr. Imber, ngokungafaniyo nabanye oogqirha ababini, unearhente yeendaba kwi-payroll kwaye akaxoli ngayo.) Kulungile kuye, utshilo uGqirha Imber, ethetha ngoGqirha Matarasso. Logama engangeni kwigumbi lam lokulinda athathe izigulana zam, ndikhathalele ntoni?
