“I love you just the way you are…” Billy Joel

But daughter Alexa and ex-wife Christie Brinkley reported aren’t accepting the Piano Man’s beautiful words. It’s been reported that Alexa Joel recently had rhinoplasty and her mom former supermodel Christy Brinkley has had a facelift.

Last season on “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, mom Lynn got a facelift, brow lift and neck lift while her daughter Racquel got her nose reshaped.

Duos undergoing plastic surgery together are part of a new trend. Recently the American Academy of Facial, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported a 34% increase in the number of people getting surgery with a partner. Be it friends, couples, sisters or mothers & daughters.

Why is this trend seen as disturbing? Most doctors advocate having a support system at home for surgery patients. Having sympathetic and empathetic assistance from loved ones helps people through the healing process.
