Question: Why is it that you see so many celebrities
having bad plastic surgery? Some of them were very
attractive people, who are now morphed and look
nothing like they did prior to surgery. They make their
living on their looks; why wouldn’t they go to the best
surgeon available to protect their assets?
Answer: Some celebrities that have recently undergone
bad facial surgery have been quite vocal about their
unhappiness with the outcome, while others, may be
very happy with how they look or are just silent about
their discontent.
Facelift surgery, should not morph your face; it should
return it to a more youthful and natural appearance
not a tight and abnormal one. For many years, plastic
surgeons and the public felt that the tighter the lift, the
younger the face. The technique that was taught, was
to pull the skin in a direction that resulted in distortion
of the eyelid, corner of the mouth, and the earlobe. A
surgeon who regularly revises his training will know better.
Another procedure known to drastically change a
person’s appearance and not always for the better, is
nasal surgery (rhinoplasty). The old trend in rhinoplasty
was to shorten the length of the nose (often too
dramatically), remove the bump on the top of the
nose, then form a slope going toward the tip. This was
designed when the "upturned nose" was in high style.
Unfortunately, the result was often more of a shortened
piggy nose. Today people like to keep some level of
their natural appearance changing only a few aspects
of the nose and doing so in a very subtle manner.
That’s why it is so important for you to choose a
physician who stays updated on new techniques
and has a lot of experience in facial surgeries.
I don’t have an answer to why celebrities aren’t
thoroughly evaluating a surgeon’s work prior to
embarking on facial surgery. One explanation could
be that they are too concerned with people knowing
that they’re considering plastic surgery, so they don’t
talk to people that they know have had work done.
Word of mouth and seeing the results of an actual
patient first hand are often some the best ways to
determine if you like a surgeon’s work. From there,
you check out the doctor’s credentials.
It is evident, that even when money is no object, a
good result is not a given. Choose your surgeon carefully.
Evaluate their work, their discussion, and their staff. Are
the before and after photos you review actually the
work of the surgeon you are consulting with? A good
surgeon will also be evaluating you to see if you are
a good candidate for the procedures discussed and if
your expectations are realistic.
