(Original Air Date: 04/19/07) Some moms don’t want to grow up, and others don’t want to grow old. Dr. Phil talks to women walking on the wild side and tries to rein them back in! Aubrey says her sister, Elise, would rather drink and party every night than take care of her 8-year-old son. Their mom, Heidi, is raising Elise’s child and says Elise wants to be a parent only when it’s convenient for her. Elise promises her family that she’s going to change, but what will it take for her to get her act together? Dr. Phil has a shocking proposition for her. Then, Greg says his wife, Lisa, is obsessed with plastic surgery and worries that it’s becoming a disease. He says she works at a plastic surgeon’s office just to get a better deal on surgery. Lisa, 39, admits that she’s spent nearly $100,000 on cosmetic procedures so she can look as young as her 21-year-old daughter and wants even more work done. Can Greg convince his wife to stop going under the knife? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Have to agree

Quote From: sparx512

"BEFORE she looks overdone"?  I've got news, she ALREADY has that fake look.  She was much, much prettier in her wedding photo!  Stop it already, woman!!!

i am getting to the point when i see these shows about plastic surgery if all women look unreal?

it does not look real to me, and looks liek they did something tothese women, and now they look fake. I admit I am not very knowledagble about plasitc surgery, but just from looking at these women there is no way i want to look fake so i wont even consider it unless i have been horribly disfigured.

Honestly I have a scar on my face from an abusive man, whom I happy to say I am no longer

with.

The doctor told me that after it heals and the stiches are out, he can fix it so it is nto noticable and will just look like a dimple in my cheek.

Uh, no way! LOL, I am ok with the scar, I really do not think I would be ok looking fake.

If the infection spread to the point were I would have lost half my face, like the doc said I could have, then sure fix it as best as you can.

fortunatly for me the intense antibiotics and a couple weeks in the hospital, all I was left with was a scar, that i think really does not detract from my personal beauty.

Hell, I am no movie star, but what ever lol.

I don't look fake either though.

Honestly this is not about self esteem, it is about vanity, pure and simple.

Elise

I don't get it! Elise was drinking at the age of fourteen, got pregnant at the age of fourteen, had the baby and mom decides that it is best for Elise to keep the baby, and helps her raise it?!

Mom figures it is ok for her fourteen year old kid to take her kid out in the night, then gets a call saying baby is without food and diapers, and mom rescues baby, and Elise comes home drunk?

Fast forward to eight years later, Now it is time for an intervention?!

What the hell?!

This was a fourteen year old kid, who was drinking and out of control, who then got pregnant, were the heck was the intervention? mom said she was there? doing what?

I don't get it!

What was happening or happened in that kids life that put her on the highway to hell?

Why wasn't someone saying this kid needs help, oops too late she is pregnant, mize well let her continue on?!

Geez, Elise, you have an addiciton, and a young son, that you had way before you were ready or should have been expected to be ready.

This is really about you, kiddo, do what is best for you and get help for your addiction and move past the issues that led you to drink and use in the first place.

Yes you can be a loving mom, it matters not one bit if your mom or sister think you are ready or willing.

The important thing is to know that there is a far better way to live, and a far better way to be a mom to your son.

You got a chance to get some real honest support and guidance, grab on to it and hang onto it with both hands. Be totally honest with yourself and your therapist. This is a chance to come totally clean, and for the first time in a very long time feel the weight and oppression of your addicitopn be lifted of your shoulders. the great thing about good counsellors is you can be brutally honest with them, and they are going to know exactly how to help you, and not be judgemental or cruel about your honesty. Jump into the work the minute you walk inot your cell for those seven days, that is the begining of your healing journey, it is going to be so worth it!

wishing you all the very best!

Hugs

Tammy

This is terrible ,I am a hairstylist since 1983 .My mother has always been the most atletic and beautiful women at any salon I ever worked in.People always thought we were sisters as I was getting into my teens up until her passing.june 18.07.she never had any plastic surgery before ,june 15, 07.She had a coworker 20 years younger with 4 kids who had a tummy tuck by a local person in our town.lisa was happy to show my mom her tummy and the doc.She sells the outpatient surgery like candy,its so much better than being in the hospital she says ,less chances of blodclot,because your back to your active life style quicker.My mother would of been a very healthy 63 on july 26.She ran on the beach 3 or 4 times a week with her dogs,and was on zoloft and no other medications.She was very happy and healthy,I think if she was not on zoloft she would of had a more realistic view of this stuff.I was not supportive of her move to ever do anything like this but she did it on june15,I went to vist her on the 18 at home,she had labored breathing, lacked color and because of medications talked very strange.I was scared and immediatly told my father who had no clue of the seriousness of these prcedures,said she was fine and they were going to a follow up appt .in a half hour.I reluctently left only to recive a call on my mom was in the hospital and had not had oxegen for one hour.she never had her vitals taken after having a 5 hr.surgery.She went to a follow up the next day after surgery no vitals ,the third day second follow up no vitals taken.I saw her a half hr.before that appt.she was not o.k they sent her home in 5:00 traffic instead of taking vitals and going to the hospital.My father thought she was having a hot flash,when she needing air ,by the time they got home her lips were blue.she was then taken to the hospital a half hr.ride.and that is the next time I see her ,we spent the next several hrs.in the hospital.they put pulminary embulism on her death cert.I only was going to say,the risks are great and the smallest measure a doc.could take I would think would be to take vitals on a patient.This doc. told me to my face we dont take vitals in our office!WOW o.k so do her clients know this, no where in the paper work does it state your vitals will not be taken after a 5hr,surgery.I want people to know mother died a half hour after a follow up appt.In traffic on the way home.Doc.are doing these sugerys like there flippin burgers,one day after I called the office and this women was on vacation in germany,when I went into the office I couldnt even talk to a nurse.They take anyone who wants it even if there 80?why are americans obsessed with this in my business I hear of this all stuff all the time .Just missing my mom.

Surgery?

Just my opinion,  Lisa appears very shallow.  For the rest of you, please check your spelling before you post a message.  Some,  are very difficult to understand. (Please)

plastic surgery mom

Dr. Phil, I was so frustrated that you never even discussed with your guest the risk she puts herself at everytime she undergoes anesthesia for these ELECTIVE surgeries!  She is so self absorbed that she is boring! Pretty only gets you so far, get a hobby and contribute something! It's frightening to think of the lessons of self-image she is giving to her children.

Ditch Him!

Quote From: stauffermom

i must say that some people don't have their priorities straight! some of these women do need to grow up! but my problem isn't me, it's my husband! he is the one who never comes home and goes out after work all the time and parties! some days my two boys don't even see their dad! and it jerks my chain to no end! i realize that everyone needs some form of stress relief, but this is getting a little ridiculous for me! does anyone else have this problem? i thought him being 34 would make him settle down and be a family man, but no! he seems to think he's not married or a father and does whatever he wants whenever he wants! i've tried talking to him but it's like talking to a wall! any advice?
 I can tell you right now, you are wasting your life waiting for him to change.  He won't! I stayed with my husband for 13 years, because I loved him, and because we have 3 kids.  He was too busy having fun to see the kids after the divorce, and now, 25 years later, is starting to realize he screw up, by not "being there" for the kids. They still love him, he's their Dad, but don't you waste your youth!  Go on with your life--the kids will survive, and know they don't have to put up with the same behavior in their relationships!

Look carefully at her Husbands face

  I really need to say this and sincerely hope the woman with a burning need to stay at age 21, (that is both emotionally and physically) looks at this program on tape -and instead of listening to herself yammering on and on about keeping herself ""lookin good"" ---LOOK at your husbands face!!!  While you think you are  showcasing yourself on national T.V., you are also showcasing your husband who looks like he is barly holding on to his marriage, who appears to be VERY SAD married to very self absorbed woman-and who is boring and one dimensional to boot.   This guy is being shown to other women who would like to love this man-not use him to slave and work to pay for plastic surgery.  I knew of a woman like this and she got multiple surgeries -she had a tragic end.  divorce AND death.   STOP before it is too late to realize your husband is suffering -putting up with a woman who is empty inside.   

  I could have kissed Dr. Phil when he said "I looked this way since I was 12".  It was a statement that said "looks are only just that"  WHO CARES??  

   I felt so badly for this man married to this plastic Barbie Doll-you can see he is holding on by his fingertips-wondering how much more he can take before running .
