Continuing our review of celebrity plastic surgery “gone wild” that has caused regrets from the patients. This is presented to educate those considering plastic surgical procedures on the importance of taking the time and effort to chose your plastic surgeon most carefully. Especially your facial plastic surgeon, as a poor result cannot be covered by clothing.
Nose…Jennifer Grey is famous for what a rhinoplasty or nose job should not be. Rhinoplasty should address the problems that concern the patient in a subtle fashion, not make them unrecognizable. “I went in the operating theatre a celebrity — and came out anonymous, I’ll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognizes… because of a nose job.” Rhinoplasty patients should not have to reintroduce themselves to family and friends after their surgery when they bump into them in a restaurant. Loved Ms. Grey’s look in “Dirty Dancing”, and she is still a beautiful woman.
Facelift, Eyes, Botox…Olympic Gold Medalist Bruce Jenner had surgery many years ago. Unfortunately for Mr. Jenner, the surgeon who operated on his upper eyelids did not distinguish between male and female eyelid surgery, giving Mr. Jenner a feminized upper eyelid platform. Unfortunately, the result wasn’t what Bruce had hoped for and for years since then he has been the victim of cruel taunts from the media,” Kim Kardashian wrote on her blog. For his sixtieth birthday in 2009, Jenner decided to correct the damage with a second facelift. Hopefully, Mr. Jenner’s golfing buddies are only taunting him about his golf swing.
Facelift, Eyelids…Kenny Rodgers should have known “when to fold, know when to hold them”, but again found an eye surgeon who feminized his eyes (see Stallone, Pacino as well). The upper eye lid incision in a man should be much lower than the higher incision in women that creates the upper lid platform. “I kind of wish I hadn’t done it,” Rogers, 72, said in 2008. “Looking back at some pictures of myself, my eyes were a lot warmer than they are now, and I miss that. As you go through life, you make choices,” he says of the surgery. “Some are good, some are bad.” Just like poker hands.
Botox, Body Liposuction…Jamie Lee Curtis had some body liposuction and Botox, “And you know what? None of it works… Nobody tells you if you take fat from your body in one place, it comes back in another place.” (Except with CoolSculpting by Zeltiq). Ms. Curtis swears that plastic surgery never helped her — in fact, she “looked worse” after going under the knife. Jamie still looks good.
Facelift, boxing…I thought that Mickey Rourke first looked a little funny in his 1987 film “Angel Heart. When watching the film I recall noticing tell tale signs of a facelift pull. It had been rumored that he had some “work” for his role in the picture. He gave up his film career in 1991 to pursue a career in boxing. When he came back to acting, in early 2000, he blamed boxing for his facial asymmetry, but later admitted, “Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.” Fortunately, his great acting was not affected by the surgery.
Nose, Brows, Body, and more…Funny lady Kathy Griffin’s plastic surgical saga with Paul Nassif , MD of “Beverly Hills Housewives” fame was well documented in ’93 People magazine article. Ms. Griffin underwent multiple procedures pre-Heidi including brow lift and nose job. “I had my nose done because it was a little big. Unfortunately I think it looks exactly the same. …” She says she released the pictures of her liposuction surgery as a public service: “I want women to know when you get liposuction trying to be Jennifer Aniston, this is what it really looks like.” Note: Jen A. not on this list, someone is doing something right, keeping Jen’s fans guessing what Jen does to look so good. Less is more.
