Dr. Howard Bellin: Beyonce Music Makes Nose Jobs Better

I m a fan because I have to admit...many of my patients like the fact that we play Beyonce s music when we perform Rhinopasty operations (nose jobs). Apparently they just end up looking better when her music is playing in the background. We have actually tested this theory, and the Beyonce music definitely helps our patients nose jobs.

As I ve said before, I m a huge fan of Brazilian music. Whether it s samba, bossa nova, forró or funk. I love the energy of their music, and infectious nature of Brazilian songs which enables you to get swept away.

Forró is a sound born of the struggle, loneliness, longing and romance of the people of the Northeast of Brazil.
