Interviews on Plastic Surgery

Not much new in celebrity plastic surgery today, so I thought I'd throw in a little time-waster...

Here is a link to a video from YouTube interviewing random people on their thoughts on plastic surgery. Thanks to Cosmetic Surgery Truth Blog.

Jocelyn Wildenstein - Part III - Fixing Her Plastic Surgery

So, how would I fix Jocelyn Wildenstein's bad plastic surgery?
This would be quite the job for any plastic surgeon. Here are some things I would recommend if she came to me for consultation:

1. No more plastic surgery unless it is to correct the previous work that has been done.
2. Remove any cheek implants that have been placed. Consider liposuctioning any excess fat grafts which have been put into the cheeks.
3. Refer her to an oculoplastic specialist to consider reversing the apparent canthopexy she's had. This is the procedure that causes the eyes to look slanted and cat-like. Reversal of this surgery would make the eyes look more natural. Technically I could do this, but it is not a surgery I've performed for quite some time.
4. Surgically remove the lip implants she appears to have. This would unfortunately necessitate a cut either at one end of each lip or along the whole lip margin, depending on what substance is in her lips.
5. Surgically remove the chin implant that she appears to have. This may be performed via the mouth. Unfortunately some implants grow into the bone and may be a big problem to remove. These are not the implants that I use, which are easily removed in a 5 minute surgery.

This would be the start, and I think could definitely be a big step towards making her look more normal again. Any more suggestions from other plastic surgeons or blog readers are welcome!

Lindsay Lohan - Lip Injections?

Here is a photo taken a couple days ago while Lindsay Lohan was shopping in Manhattan. Her lips are looking a bit puffy, possibly the result of Restylane or the new Juvederm injectables. If she's had them done recently, the swelling will subside within a couple days and the next time you see her she may look pretty normal. If the swelling is already gone, then she is going to look this way for the next 6 months.

Helen Mirren offered Botox for Oscars

Now Magazine and Plasticized.com are reporting that Helen Mirren was offered a host of cosmetic treatments as celebrity swag prior to the Oscars:

According to the Daily Mirror a host of celebs were offered the bizarre 'goodie bags' packes with vouchers for wrinkle treatments, including Botox, to help them look their best at the awards. Plain-talking Helen was having none of it though. 'I'm very vain, which initially made playing Elizabeth Windsor in all those tweeds pretty daunting,' she said. 'But I'm not fond of all those needles and scalpels. 'I'll try to get away with make-up, jewelry and a nice frock.'

Now, some may not like this statement: While I agree that Helen Mirren looked great at the Oscars, she does have some pretty deep wrinkles. Botox would improve these, and if done by a good plastic surgeon, could make her look even better (and not artificial). She is a good example though, of aging gracefully without Botox. I still think that she's possibly had a facelift in the past.
While Helen appears to have turned down Botox, it's too bad that Nicole Kidman appears to have taken them up on their offer, along with taking her pal Naomi Watts' Botox and lip plumper swag. I've never heard of actual surgery being offered in swag bags for free, however.

Gene Simmons Having a Facelift

Starpulse is reporting that KISS rocker Gene Simmons and longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed had facelifts done recently, and their experience will be documented on their reality show. He has been looking a bit rough lately, so maybe a little plastic surgery can make him look nicer. You can see the heavy neckline under the makeup, which should be improved with the facelift. Can anyone name another hard rocker who had a facelift performed on TV? Hint: He didn't have his surgery done by Dr. Feelgood...

Kellie Pickler - Breast Augmentation

Here is a photo of American Idol singer Kellie Pickler from last night's show. As you can see, she does appear to have had a recent breast augmentation. When breast implants are too big they can make some women look heavy. This appears to be the case with her. I still think she's hilarious and talented, even though she didn't have me do her plastic surgery.

Kellie Pickler - Small Town Girl, Big Time Breasts

If you saw American Idol tonight you may have noticed that Kellie Pickler has a few new acquisitions (a.k.a. breast implants). Ryan Seacrest asked the obviously enhanced country singer if she has bought anything recently. She replied, "Yes, shoes." Yeah, right!
Her breasts are much larger than I remember when she was a contestant on American Idol last season. It seems that her album advance check went to more than a new pair of shoes!
