Dr. Stanley Frileck performs surgery on Hollywood stars in utmost secrecy. It is impossible to get the least bit of info on what was done to whom. Contrary to many of his colleagues, S.F. fervently advocates "natural surgery." He performs surgical procedures which beautify the face or the body without drastically altering one's features. His other specialty is to perform miracle repairs on other surgeons' mistakes. Of course, all this does not come cheap and what a price it is! It's enough to make our French surgeons grow pale with envy. It's simple. A face lift is $30,000. Even though the dollar is quite low these days, this equals 200,000 FFR (for such a large sum, we do prefer to speak in our old francs)! A thigh liposuction is $15,000, a little less than 100,000 FFR! For these fees, no fewer than 10 assistants attending to one's every need, while being operated on by the star of surgeons in Los Angeles. The procedures are done within the private surgical facility attached to the medical office. There is nothing more chic. In any case, hospitals have such a bad reputation that no one wants to go there anymore.
