Kardashian / Jenner Plastic Surgery?

Friday, December 27th, 2013

Are all of the Kardashian / Jenner clan having plastic surgery?  It looks like it to me!  I recently commented on surprising photos for Radar Online, showing what appears to be a nose job (rhinoplasty) for Kim and lip injections for Kendall Jenner.  You can read my comments and see the photos on Radar Online HERE and HERE.

 

Marilyn Monroe Plastic Surgery Items Up For Auction

Thursday, October 10th, 2013

A Southern California plastic surgeon is putting Marilyn Monroe’s cosmetic surgery records up for auction… with proceeds to benefit veterans who need reconstructive surgery.  These records were from Monroe’s encounters with Dr. Michael Gurdin, who reportedly inserted a bovine collagen chin implant and refined the tip of her nose.  The set also includes Monroe’s x-rays after a late-night fall, two months prior to her death.

They are estimating the items will bring in between $15,000 – $30,000.

Has Rachel Zoe Had A Nose Job?

Thursday, September 5th, 2013

It looks like fashionista Rachel Zoe has had a nose job sometime in the distant past.  Photos shown HERE on Radar Online appear to show a nose that was thinned.  I think she looks great!

Sometimes plastic surgery can really enhance a person’s appearance.  At other times…

Amanda Bynes Continues Having Plastic Surgery

Monday, June 24th, 2013

Amanda Bynes is at it again.  The young actress tweeted that she just underwent a rhinoplasty two days ago (Saturday), after having her breast implants removed a couple weeks ago.  Some of her comments from Twitter:

I made it out of the surgery alive! Haha! I’ll post the video soon! I need one more procedure to thin out the bridge<blessed!

My doctors are heroes who also correct kids who have cleft lip – something as traumatic as webbing in between your eyes!I wanted to share my story with you to prove that I’m not crazy, I was just embarrassed. Surgery is a complete miracle for me – nothing…can hold you back from living out your dreams. There’s a surgery for everything that’s wrong with you!

This whole situation is concerning, because according to the media reports I’ve read, Amanda Bynes appears to be a very troubled soul.  I question whether she is in a reasonable psychological state to be a good candidate for plastic surgery.  And there is not “a surgery for everything that’s wrong with you,” especially is that thing wrong is in your head.  I hope that she gets professional help, and not of the plastic surgery kind.

Amanda Bynes – Nose Job – Troubled Soul

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Actress Amanda Bynes has recently announced on Twitter that she’s undergone a rhinoplasty.  From her Twitter account:

Intouch used a photo from years ago on their cover and I hate it! The reason I’ve asked all magazines and blogs to stop using old photos of me is I don’t look like that anymore! I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes. I wasn’t going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don’t want old photos used anymore! I’m so sick of magazines and blogs using old photos! When will they stop? I will never look like that again! Having surgery was the most amazing thing for my confidence!

I’d consider that to be a nice endorsement for good plastic surgery, had she not come across lately as a troubled soul.  According to the Daily Mail, she’s also recently admitted to an eating disorder and has shaved half her head!  Hopefully she gets some help before something really bad happens.

Alexa Ray Joel Addresses Rumors That She’s Had A Breast Augmentation

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Alexa Ray Joel has recently taken to her Facebook page to refute rumors she’s had a breast augmentation.  From her Facebook:

I would like to take a moment to respond with complete and unabashed honesty to the following links below from TMZ & Daily Mail (Mail Online), as well as the Daily News [which is not linked here]: Aside from getting Rhinoplasty-Surgery a few years ago– [which I have been blatantly honest and candid about in the past]– I have not had any further work done. (Not on my face, or anywhere else- for that matter.) I fervently believe that it should be every woman’s imperative to l…ove, accept, embrace, and celebrate their exterior– BUT: the act putting your “best self” forward– in every sense of the word– involves work that’s rooted from within. I have gone back to being a vegetarian, and I only eat all-organic now– which helps. It also helps to improve your skincare regimen- as I have recently done (I highly recommend “Skinceuticals” brand for top-quality tightening/moisturizing/firming/medical-grade skincare). What helps more drastically than even the most substantiated diet or skincare regimen? Confidence and Self-Esteem. I believe in the importance and value of approaching beauty from the inside-out, as opposed to the outside-in. If you begin to nourish yourself on every level: physically, mentally, spiritually, internally, externally, psychologically [the list goes on!]– and care for yourself properly, you are going to look and [much more importantly] FEEL 100% better. This is simply what I have done. Multiple Plastic Surgeries is NOT something that I support, endorse, encourage, or even remotely participate in. As for the difference in my pictures slated in the articles below: It’s simply the stark-visual contrast between effectively-applied makeup [check out Caitlin Monahan on Facebook for a completely natural "cosmetic lift" with only makeup!] and no makeup at all [with puffy eyes- we all get them sometimes- and- hey, that's fine with me].
Although her chest looks like it definitely could have been enhanced, I’ll give her the benefit of a doubt and take her word for it.  Since her dad is Billy Joel she can do no wrong, in my humble opinion.  She looks great, implants or not!

“Teen Mom” Farrah Abraham Faces Backlash Over Her Plastic Surgery

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

Before-and-after photos of “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham were posted on In Touch Weekly, including a poll to see whether readers thought she looked better or worse after her chin augmentation and rhinoplasty.  To the surprise of plastic surgeons everywhere, a shocking 95% thinks she looks worse after her procedures than before!

I’d have to disagree.  I don’t know her plastic surgeon, but I think he did a nice job.  Her profile is definitely improved.  Her chin projects appropriately and the bump on her nose is gone.  I’d give the result a thumbs up.

So why do people dislike her new appearance?  Is it the Jennifer Grey syndrome?   Sometimes we get used to how a person looks- flaws and everything.  When those perceived flaws are removed, then sometimes we don’t like it.  That person may technically look better, but can appear too different and even unrecognizable.  Maybe that’s why so many people are disliking her new look.

Or maybe they’re just haters.

Teen Mom Star Farrah Abraham Had A Nose Job and Chin Augmentation

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

MTV’s Teen Mom Farrah Abraham previously underwent a breast augmentation during the taping of the reality show.  She’s now come forward to In Touch magazine (complete with photos!) revealing that she underwent a rhinoplasty and chin augmentation.  She admitted, ”I’ve hated my nose since I was 13.  I don’t have to hate anything on my face ever again!  I feel gorgeous!”

It’s nice to hear a star be so positive about her plastic surgery.  I enjoy combining rhinoplasty and chin augmentation, since they work so well to improve the harmony of the face.  I’ve seen many people who believe their nose is too big, when the real problem is a small chin!  I typically use a solid silicone chin implant, placed through a small incision inside the mouth.  There is no visible scar, the area heals quickly, and the implant can be removed easily if the patient doesn’t like it.

Baby No More! Has Jennifer Grey Had Recent Plastic Surgery?

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

We all remember the actress Jennifer Grey for her role as “Baby” in Dirty Dancing.  Classic movie.  Great soundtrack.  I remember all the kids at Phillips Exeter summer school making fun of me for listening to it.  Yes, I had “Hungry Eyes” for a lot of girls there, none of whom wanted to have “The Time of Their Life” with me.  But I digress…

In the plastic surgery world, Jennifer Grey is best known as the famous actress who had a nose job… then had a hard time getting any further roles because she looked so different.  Her rhinoplasty (although technically a fine one) changed her appearance so much many people had trouble recognizing her afterwards!  It’s a classic example of great surgery on the wrong person.

Recently, Radar Online.com asked me to examine recent photos of Jennifer to see whether I believe she’s had more work done.  I doubt she’s had any surgery.  But injectables?  Maybe so!

From RadarOnline.com:

“Her lips appear to have been injected with a plumping agent, likely Juvederm. Her wrinkles lines also appear filled
in, possibly with Restylane. Her forehead is as smooth as a polished dance floor, likely from injections of Botox,” he explained.

“Overall, Jennifer is no Baby anymore!”

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant  admitted two years ago that she planned to get nipped and tucked
before going on the reality show, but that her husband Clark Gregg convinced her not to.

You can read more of my thoughts about Jennifer Grey and injectables at RadarOnline.com HERE.

Is Adele Rolling In The Plastic Surgery?

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

According to a photo from Hollywood Life.com, I think so!  Her nose definitely looks thinner, especially in the tip region. It looks to me that Adele has had a very nice rhinoplasty (nose job).  Overall, it matches her face better and looks graceful and elegant.

Don’t be too surprised, though.  I think that a very large percentage of stars have had their noses done.  Most, like Adele’s, look so subtle and natural that it’s hard to tell.

Kudos to her plastic surgeon! (Not me)

I’ve been crazy busy lately with TV segments and writing.  I have some fun segments coming up really soon that I’m excited to announce.  Stay tuned!

 

Lil Kim – BDD? Nose Job? Buttock Implants? All Of The Above?

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

It seems every time I plan to write a post about a celebrity’s new appearance, Radar Online beats me to the punch and asks me to comment on it.  That’s why you’ve seen a lot of links to Radar Online recently.

Lil Kim is the next celebrity to go under the plastic surgery microscope.  She looks like a completely different person.  Her nose has been whittled down to popsicle stick size.  Does she have Body Dysmorphic Disorder?  Buttock Implants?

Check out my comments at Radar Online HERE.

Vienna Girardi Steps Out In Public After Rhinoplasty

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Bachelor Pad contestant Vienna Girardi was recently photographed at LAX wearing a nasal splint and displaying bruising around each of her eyes.  She later tweeted:

“I want my surgery to be looked at as positive reflection of how I feel…  If it makes you feel better about yourself then DO IT.”

The bruising around her eyes likely signifies that her plastic surgeon broke in her nasal bones, a common part of a rhinoplasty.  I bet that her dorsal hump was also removed and the tip shortened.  We’ll see if she’s recognizable afterwards!

Coco – Before and After Plastic Surgery

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

There are some interesting photos posted on the Daily Mail.  They show Ice-T’s wife Coco before and after what-appears-to-be major plastic surgery.  Nose job?  Breast implants?  Buttock implants?  I believe she’s had all three.  This is an extreme makeover, indeed.

NeNe Obsessed With Plastic Surgery?

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Celebrity Apprentice star NeNe Leakes’ friends are concerned that she is becoming obsessed with plastic surgery.  According to Popeater.com:

A source is quoted saying, “NeNe is determined to have a flatter tummy, and she intends to have more liposuction done so she looks her very best this summer.”
Friends of the reality diva are worried for her, according to the source. “Her friends are worried that she has become too obsessed with plastic surgery and have warned her about the dangers, but she just wants to be the best image of herself that she can be. She intends to have the procedure done sooner rather than later. The truth is that despite being loud and overconfident in public, NeNe has some issues regarding her self-image. She has always wanted to be famous, and now that she is those insecurities have been heightened for her to look perfect.”

Apparently she has already undergone a rhinoplasty (see before-and-after photos here), liposuction, veneers, and a breast reduction.

So when has a person had too much plastic surgery?  The line can be blurry.  One rule that I try to follow is: When you have plastic surgery to look different, but not necessarily better, then you are going too far.

Did Leona Lewis Have Plastic Surgery?

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

There is a lot of speculation that singer Leona Lewis has had a nose job (rhinoplasty).  Although her reps deny it, many people are saying that her recent appearance at Justin Beiber’s new film premiere was proof that the star has gone under the knife.

It’s a hard call.  Her nose does look a bit thinner, but this could be an optical illusion due to her long dark hair.  Overall she looks great (and sounds even better)!

NeNe Reveals Her New Plastic Surgery Results

Monday, October 25th, 2010

NeNe from the Real Housewives of Atlanta has revealed to People Magazine that she underwent a rhinoplasty, breast implant downsizing with lift, and liposuction of the waist back in April.  Her before and after photos are to the left.

I don’t know this person from anybody, but her results do look good.  Her nose is just a bit more refined and looks elegant.  I can’t tell any difference in her figure due to the clothes she’s wearing.

Ethnic rhinoplasty can be a very difficult procedure.  In fact, I don’t do them anymore.  Kudos to her doc.
