Surgeon Brothers Launch Reality Show
Two brothers in Phoenix, Arizona–both of whom happen to be plastic surgeons–are now diving into the world of reality TV.
The brothers, Dr. Ali Mosharrafa and Dr. Tamir Mosharrafa, are part of the new makeover reality program called The Beauty Show.
The weekly, half-hour show documents the progress of two women who experience a six-week transformation, including plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, a fitness regimen, wardrobe overhaul, and of course, the requisite hair and make-up re-do.
The brothers believe the show will empower women to make the right medical decisions for themselves, and Dr. Tamir Mosharrafa, who is the former Chief Plastic Surgeon at Phoenix’s Good Samaritan Hospital said, “I would only take part in a show I believe was worthwhile and it had to be realistic and of the highest quality to promote plastic surgery instead of those who perform it.”
He adds that though he and his brother each work on a different contestant, it’s not a contest with winners or losers.
Reality makeover shows, like the short-lived program, The Swan, have been criticized for creating outward transformations without adequately dealing with the inner emotional issues the contestants face.
The Beauty Show hopes to circumvent this pitfall by selecting women who have overcome great personal odds and are deserving of a physical makeover. Executive producer Maria Camille says that the show is not sensationalized, but genuine and informative.
The Beauty Show will debut May 26th on Phoenix ION Network Cox Cable channel 17 and Direct TV channel 51, and is in consideration for syndication on all ION stations nationwide.

I am a 45 yr old woman who has always had large breasts 38G, they are now beginning to bother my back, I have talked to my physician and he will NOT reccommend a breast reduction so the much of the cost can be captured by my medical insurance. Please tell me what are the requirements for a doctore to recommend a breast reduction for a patient.
thank you

I’m 30 and have 36H breats, I have been unhappy with them for a very long time, and I have also had a lot of back, shoulder and neck pain and still suffer. But the main thing that effects me is the effect of them on my confidence and overall happiness. I recently went to my doctor about it and they put through an application to the PCT but they refused to do it as it is such an expensive operation and it is not actually effecting my health.
Hope this helps answer your question

I really didn’t think it would work this time either,,thank you again and I will submit my story ASAP.
Sincerly,
