Although her orthopedic specialist, Dr. Everett Scott, has seen no evidence of her hands actually growing larger, he concurs with Ms. Pilar's wishes to undergo this radical procedure.

"Ms. Pilar's hand certainly do appear to be disproportionally large for her frame. I'm completely at a loss as to why her hands seem to be growing larger. However, knowing the physical demands that her profession places on her, I wholehearteldly support her endeavor to reduce the size and appearance of her hands."

However, she's adament about reducing the size of her hands. I have many patients who are in the modeling profession and while I've advised them against this procedure, I have admire Ms. Pilar's dedication to her profession.
