He was pissed off then when that photo appeared on the social media accounts of her company, Perfection Plastic Surgery and MedSpa.And he was even more miffed when it showed up in an article on gossip site The Shade Room in which Kogan discussed the rise in plastic surgery for men, including penile enhancements.
