First up on todays GirlsTalkBack we had up and coming Irish model Dearbhla Hogan on who revealed that she has had a rhinoplasty with Ireland’s leading cosmetic surgery provider, The Harley Medical Group. It has been around two months since she had the procedure and Dearbhla told GTB that she cannot believe the difference it has made. Although Dearbhla can understand how plastic surgery can become addictive she told us she won’t be getting anything else done and believes celebrity’s like Heidi Montage are unique cases and it is quite extreme!!
Dearbhla’s advice to anyone who is looking into cosmetic surgery is to make sure to do what is best for you. Do a lot of research into the surgery you are contemplating getting and be 100% sure it is what you want.
There is still a lot of stigma surrounding plastic surgery but it would appear that Irish people are slowly but surely coming around to the idea. It is definitely seen as the easy but most expensive way of reaching the ‘ideal you’.
It has been revealed that Rhinoplasty, also called plastic surgery of the nose or a "nose job”, now
accounts for 12% of the overall turnover in Ireland and is the second most performed surgical procedure at THMG Dublin clinic with breast augmentations topping the list. The cosmetic surgery industry as a whole in Ireland has seen growth to date in 2010 with The Harley Medical Group expecting the cosmetic surgery and non-surgical treatment market to grow up to a further 20% throughout the coming year.

Before the show, GTB chatted to Styletonic.ie's Michelle Jones about her decision to start up her own Irish fashion website. Styletonic.ie brings together an incredible range of clothing and accessories from Irish boutiques which can be purchased from the site. Michelle told GTB about the difficulties of getting started, but the encouragemetn and support she's received since she began her business. She said she's met some amazing people who have really helped her to get up and running. GTB thinks Michelle's being a bit modest, though - she's clearly put a lot of hard work into such a funky website!
Styletonic also publishes a montly online magazine and this month's issue features a fantastic guide to NYC, baby! There's also a gorgeous fashion shoot with the very talented photographer, Aisling King, as well as tips on what to wear - and how to wear it.
