Statistics from the year 2010 shows that 91% of patients were women and approximately five million procedures (including both surgical and minimally invasive) were performed.

spring 2012 iCON 30 Amongst the benefits of breast augmentation surgery are the aesthetic and mental health aspects. Most surveys following surgery indicate that women experience improvement in physical health, appearance, social life, self- confidence, self-esteem and sexual functioning. Many women look forward to enjoying the pleasure of wearing clothes without having to support their breasts with pushup bras or showing off their bodies in bikinis that they couldn’t pull off before. Others just want to get rid of breast sagginess that has occurred over time either from weight loss, nursing babies or just getting older. No matter what the reason for the breast augmentation, one should always weigh the benefits vs. the risks mentioned above, including the cost of such surgeries. It is also a good idea to have at least a second or even third opinion depending on the area you live in and the accessibility to experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.

Nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, is a popular procedure that is used to address developmental (such as cleft lip and palate) or injury-related abnormalities scarring may occur.

Some guys take it way too seriously and they do something called the Paleo diet, which is eating as if you’re in the Paleolithic Era - hunting and gathering. I just try to eat really clean.

Ashley says she always wanted to be an actress while growing up in Indiana, and laughingly admits she’d always get animal roles such as Toto and a bird in “Alice in Wonderland”. She even played a tree, but that never discouraged her. She wanted to move to Los Angeles after high school to be discovered, and as fate would have it, a well-known New York fashion photographer Bruce Weber discovered her, leading Ashley to Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister ads.

Ashley’s modeling career excelled rapidly, landing her in shoots all over the world. She even had an apartment in Paris because she was back and forth between there and New York so much. “It’s crazy; starting in January I had never left the United States, and by June I had been all over the world,” she observes.

Ashley’s staple shoe is a suede boot, and her favorite boot designer is Elizabeth & James. In Los Angeles, Ashley rocks Converse, and says she is definitely not a fan of flip-flops. At the shoot Ashley wears a pair of worn flat leather boots she got from a movie she was in, keeping them because she liked them so much.

In her makeup bag you would find Mac eye shadows, especially in natural neutral colors or a light purple. She’s also big on mascara, especially since she has blonde eyelashes, and loves her mascara by Dior. Recently she’s been getting into red lips, and admits that you definitely have to have the right mentality to wear it. She recounts, “I remember I wore red lips to the Teen Vogue party and was nervous at first; you definitely have to be bold to wear it.”

As for those perfect blonde locks, Ashley says the hairstyles she’s trending toward now are the low ponytail, the fish tail, and the low braid, though she likes to change things up. She once dyed her hair red and loved it!
