Relative beauty: NYC plastic surgeon operated on his entire family — and even gave his sister a boob job
Dr. Anthony Berlet, a 66-year-old plastic surgeon based in New York, has performed cosmetic procedures on numerous family members over the past two decades, including his mother, wife, sister, twin brother, stepdaughter, and niece. He claims the experience felt natural despite the personal nature of the relationships, and many family members expressed full trust in his skills. While the American Medical Association advises against treating family, Berlet continues to blend his professional and personal life through his practice.
