Doggie Plastic Surgery

Did you ever feel there was something about your dog’s appearance that you wanted to change or tweak, to make her/him look just a little better? There is a Brazilian vet/surgeon, Edgado Brito, who has adapted plastic surgery techniques for animals so those who feel inclined can fix those protruding dog ears. He has even tightened the breasts of female dogs after they've given birth, yes a doggie boob job. He’s performed thousands of surgeries and feels health is a top concern but beauty is also an important aspect of the dog’s well-being.

Dr. Alan Schulman, a board-certified orthopedic veterinary surgeon, who’s worked with many celebrity dogs, gives us another perspective. He explains that there are instances where is it medically necessary to nip and tuck. Skin folds can be reduced or eliminated to help alleviate infections. Also, some breeds that suffer from breathing problems, like Pugs and Bulldogs, can get nose jobs.

Then there's the "Neuticles". To each his own.
