>> do you think those earrings actually help the way you look? >> yes. >> that kills me! >> ever since i was yoda on halloween and i had the wisps of hair and the ugly green and i kept applying lipstick? >> it is kind of the same thing? we're going to be going through those procedures -- >> especially one you guys are going to be dying no know about because we teased it before. cellulase, you know when you cellulite in your legs or butt or wherever? >> no. >> you've been trying to get rid of it. it is really difficult even if you work out a lot, diet. you can't get rid of it. a new procedure dr. nancy actually said on the air was very safe. she thought. >> with excellent results as well. >> there is actually going to be somebody doing this procedure. if you guys know what a mattress looks like with those buttons in it, it actually cuts through the buttons and separates the skin so there's no puckering! it's unbelievable. they're doing it close by. >> close by. we're going to be going there. i think they're going to start it pretty soon. but of all days for our dear friend to be visiting us, the one person on the planet who does not need one thing done to him picks today to visit us. one and only, eduardo is here to say hello. >> he's like the latino brad pitt. he's very hot and we're humiliated. >> to me, brad pitt is -- edward's going to come back in june. he has a magnificent new movie out called "for greater glory." we'll see you later. >> don't look at us. we look ugly. we got to go to dr. bruce katz. >> he's in his new york office. he's about to perform cellulase on his patient collette. hi, dr. katz. how are you? >> good, how are you ladies? i'm here with colette. we're ready to start. >> so tell us what you're going to be doing to colette. >> well, we're using a cellulase device. >> excuse me. hello colette. >> she's not wearing spanx. >> you have these raised and depressed areas. what we're doing is we're going to lower those raised areas by taking away the fat and then we're going to cut those collagen bands that actually pull down on the skin and allow them to be released and then the third thing we're going to do is stimulate collagen and tighten skin. >> how quickly will colette see some results? >> usually within a few weeks. some people have a little bruising and swelling for a while. but it appears in a few weeks and keeps getting better. >> is it pricey? >> well, depends on how many areas. a lot of people have a lot of different areas. i'm just going to start here. you might want to turn away. >> no, i want to see every bit of it. >> i want to hear colette. >> do it, dr. katz. >> don't look. don't look. la, la, la. colette, can you hear us?

>> all therapy is actually an fda approved process which lifts and tightens the skin. here we're going to do the eyebrows. this is dr. francesca fosco, she specializes in this. >> what is this? >> some people don't want to do botox or they want something adjunctive to botox. here gel is being applied and this is doing what a facelift would do or brow lift, it is delivering deep heat to the tissue where you would be cutting the muscle and tying it. >> how does it feel?

>> we're doing really well. colette is doing well. she's just relaxing, i think taking a nap actually. >> we can't hear him. we're having a little technical difficulty but it looks like it is going fine. colette can't speak to us because she's turned over. he's working on the other part of her anatomy. >> dr. katz, can you hear us now? >> i can hear you. can you hear me? >> yeah. we can hear you now, too. are you about half done? >> more than half done actually. we're sort of in a final stretch. it will be another ten minutes or so, but it is going beautifully. >> for people watching when you get this treatment done is your cellulite gone forever? >> well, we've been doing this for over two years now around the cellulite hasn't come back. so we're hoping that it is a long-term result but we can only say for two years so far. >> okay. we should also point out that these procedures, although they are done widely, they're done everywhere, you really have to check with your doctor what something's going to cost. there are always additional costs as well and risks. it can vary like crazy all over the country. >> we're going to come back and check with you in a little bit. a lot of you would argue that celebrities drive a lot of people to seek perfection by way of cosmetic surgery. >> with us tamara barney, vivian diller, the author of "face it," and ian drew, senior editor of "us" magazine. hello, everybody. >> tamara, you've been very vocal about plastic surgery. you've had your breasts reduced. you don't hide any of that. >> no, i don't. i just feel like why not be open about it? i live my life openly on a reality show but i've always been one that blurts it out there. >> a lot of celebrities just say i have good genes, i do yoga. >> i just want to throw my wine at them. i love that, i just drink a lot of water. >> you decided to get a breast reduction. why was that? >> it was a long time coming. i had them done when i was early 20s. i had them reduced on the show about four years ago. and i kind of took baby steps. i knew i kind of wanted to get rid of them but i don't think i have the self esteem. my self esteem was low back then, going through a divorce, going through a lot, if i lose my fun bags what's going to happen -- >> my fun bags! >> so i think this wonderful thing about being 40. you're a little bit more secure with who you are. i don't know if it is just being in your 40s or losing your eyesight or whatever it is but i just felt better about myself when i removed them. >> what is this tremendous fear of what's ultimately going to happen to all of us anyway if you're blessed, you're going to live to be a big old age. >> i'm really glad you're bringing up the psychological component of all the physical changes. it's much more complicated than you think. the patients i have who are in the public eye, they know they're going to be under scrutiny but what they don't know is how complicated their reactions are going to be and the people watching them. this is a very polarizing issue. there are people who take sides. you either are supposed to be true to yourself an age naturally or do whatever you possibly can to avoid this aging illness. really aging has become in some ways a defect and we have to really shift the way we think about it because otherwise people are going to be panicked about the aging. even at age 20. >> it's psychological. it is about self-esteem. sometimes if your self-esteem is what needs fixing should the plastic surgeon be the doctor you are seeing. >> good plastic surgeons really ask those important questions. >> let's talk celebs. they're kind of driving this bus, right? >> all of them are driving it in some way. they either have an opinion or they're getting it done. >> when ashley judd -- we showed her a couple of weeks ago. everyone was she got something done, she was outraged that people said those things. >> this set off a whole debate. she said i had nothing done, it was a reaction to surgery she had for sinus -- steroids and her face puffed out. but she said woman should not be judged this way, it is ridiculous. everyone is pointing fingers and dissecting what someone has done. >> that's how it's always been and it will never change. >> like for heidi mon tag. she's gotten a lot done. >> ten procedures in one day which everybody agreed was way too much. difference is she now says she regrets that. >> she wouldn't do it again but yet she's stuck now. these are things that are irreversible. there is a difference between doing something like liposuction where you can grow it back a little if you need to. something like a nose job, some of these procedures she had done that were so extreme are irreversible. >> we used to just have the question does she or doesn't she. i don't remember if you remember that. it was just about hair color. there are so many options now people are really confused. i think what celebrities are confronting is the confusion an entire generation of women are feeling. >> people don't love themselves first in the right way, healthy way. thanks so much. >> thanks for coming to see us. up next, the guys get their turn. find out what they're nipping and tucking right after this. >> men are doing a lot. >> more than they say. septic system breakdowns affect over 1 million homes each year. regular tank maintenance can help avoid backups, disgusting messes, and countless hours of repair. rid-x septipacs are easy-to-use, dissolvable pouches with enzymes that immediately break down waste, and time-release bacteria that work continuously to reduce tank buildup. use rid-x once a month and help save yourself from disaster. rid-x. number 1 in septic maintenance. join the rid-x septic subscriber program, and never forget to maintain your system. i think men and plastic surgery is a little weird. they end up looking like ken dolls a little bit. it is kind of awkward. i'm not really a fan of that so much. >> oh, really? >> well we're back with a special age defying edition of "today," tucks, lifts and nips. we've been talking cosmetic surgery for ladies all day but what about the guys? >> men are the fastest growing demographic undergoing plastic surgery. here to discuss brotox, along with a few of his manly patients. joseph, frank and bruno. hi, guys. welcome. >> what kind of procedures are men undergoing these days? >> a lot of procedures include chin implants, rhinoplasty, which is nose surgery, sometimes hair transplantation, there's a lot of new techniques, technologies. lasers. everyone, everyone, are doing non-surgical things to make you look good. >> look at joseph. joseph is adorable. when you look at joseph, our next guy in line, i wonder if you wonder what has joseph done. number two in line. joseph's 22 years old. you've had what done? >> i've had a rhinoplasty, a chin implant and restalin fillers in my cheeks. that was my before. >> that's a heck of a head of hair. >> that was all downstairs. they do great work. >> look at the difference. >> it makes a huge difference. >> has it done something to your self-esteem? >> of course. night and day. it made a huge difference. definitely improved my business. my outlook every day has changed. really changed everything. >> this is why i think plastic surgery can be a good thing. if you're worried about yourself all day long, it affects you -- if you can just do it, get over it and forget about it, you look great. >> find a doctor that's going to give you natural results. >> speaking of natural, look at frank, 40-year-old over there. you had a couple of things done. tell us what you had done. >> i had my -- i used to snore like a freight train. >> which can mess with your love life. >> you're absolutely right. fixed that a little bit. i basically had the inside plumbing done. i had my uvula clipped, my sinuses, i figured while i was on the table, straighten it out a little bit. >> do the snoz. >> that's right. >> what was the reaction of friends, family, lovers. >> surprisingly, no one noticed but my sister. she's the only one that noticed up until -- i told people but it was just such a conservative job. i didn't want anything over the top. i just wanted a little bit -- my profile fixed a little bit. >> good for you and the love life's good? >> yeah. things are good. single, by the way. >> bruno at the end is doing something that a lot of men really want to do that has to do with your hair. tell us what you did. >> i was losing it and being a macho italian i just couldn't do it. i don't have a face that, like bruce willis or yule brenner. >> i think it is a beautiful face. >> tell us what did you do? >> i heard about dr. paseer over and over again. i figured let me check him out. i did and went with him. >> was it actually implants? >> yeah. i guess they call it microsurgery. >> you put single hairs in?

>> jesse had dark hair. was starting to go gray but she kept making it darker and darker which made her hair look very harsh and she had bulk in her hair. >> she's got a great head of hair. >> beautiful. more hair than like four women. >> that's not fair! >> our whole goal was to really customize the haircut to take away the bulk and obviously make her look younger. >> people at home are seeing your after. the makeup is very important. you've got half of her face done. we should point out she has not yet seen herself and cannot see herself right now as we speak. what are you doing for the makeup? >> makeupwise we just wanted to add contour to jesse's features. she has a great face, beautiful skin. we evened her out. contoured her cheeks, we added on to her brows. she tweezes but actually define them -- defining your brows is the easiest way to take off ten years. >> i think it is time for the reveal. >> hold up your mirror. pop it up. let's look. >> that's the after. >> oh, my god. i love it. oh, my god. thank you, everyone. >> it just took a lot of years off, didn't it?

>> makeup, one of joan's concerns was her eye area. i just kind of showed her how to contour a little bit more, how to add the lift that you want, how to really kind of soften the under eye area and of course just made her lips a lot fuller. told her that mascara and lash color are your best friend. >> are you dying to see yourself? >> i am dying. >> pop it up on the screen. >> wow! >> that looks awesome. >> what a difference. >> and it moves. >> and difference in the color. >> you see what happens, sometimes when you overcolor your hair it does not look shiny. shiny, healthy hair is young hair. then again, customize the hair to give her lift, fullness, volume. years younger. >> you guys look beautiful! >> we have to go out tonight! >> nice job, miss fancy. up next, we head to the recovery room to see how our procedures are going. we're only half done. >> half baked. but first, this is a special edition of "today" on nbc. if there's one good thing about surgery it is the recovery. there's no better way to relax than with some champaign and cold compresses. >> today we told you about some different procedures and before we check in with our patients, let's go across the street. remember dr. bruce katz performed the cellulase procedure with colette. how are you feeling post op? >> feeling all right. surprisingly feeling okay. >> is it completely done? she's finished and ready to go? >> we're all done. she can actually walk out of the room here on her own steam and go home, take it easy for a day or so, then go right back to work. >> what we're going to do, we're going to ask you to come back on monday and we'll look at the before and after. >> maybe even 40 days later when they say everything's perfect. we'll check out thighs out. cheers. all the best. >> dr. taylor, how's your patient doing? >> she's doing great. you can see she's relaxing. in fact, if you look at her vessels, they've just about disappeared. a little bit red but just about disappeared. >> how much is that procedure? >> about $400 for three syringes. >> moving down the line, how's your lovely patient? >> she's doing great, relaxing, she's got her champagne in her hand. this much botox costs $300, $400 somewhere in there, but it can go up to 1,000. it depends on the expertise of the injector. >> what are you going to do with the rest of her though? she's a mess. >> isn't she gorgeous, kathie lee? >> yes, she's gorgeous! i'm not finished. i'm half cooked. i've got to get going here. but pat wexler -- i can already see the difference. >> i'm lucky i have cindy here who's taking care of me. one of my arms is baby smooth and the other is like a gorilla. she's going to take -- what did you say?
