Reader Laura on Stephanie Pratt & Plastic Surgery
Posted by admin in celebrity plastic surgery on February 2, 2011
Reader Comment:
Stephanie Pratt is shown here with her new face. The most noticeable change is her lips. Her new nose actually doesn’t look bad to me but her lips are a bit much. (I also wish that that shade of pink lipstick would become illegal to wear.)

I think her nose looks good. I agree the lips are the recipient of too much filler (trout pout) but this is common as the “style” in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach. I would have encouraged her to use half the amount of filler. At least the lip filler will go away as it is likely non permanent. She will probably go get a refill however.

MakeMeHeal Question: Traci Bingham Plastic Surgery?
Posted by admin in celebrity plastic surgery, celebrity plastic surgery club on December 29, 2010
MakemeHeal Question:
Traci Bingham is a former Baywatch star—she looks very plastic, beyond her giant implants. Can you estimate how large her implants may be, any guess about any other work she may have had? Botox, nose job, lip injections etc? She is now 41

From what I have seen, Traci looks like a “Patron of the Art.” She’s likely had at least a rhinoplasty (likely more than once), breast implants, eyelid surgery, and lips. She is likely a Botulinum toxin user as well.

Dr D in Upland Today
Posted by admin in time sensitive on December 6, 2010
My dentist (Cristina Petit DDS) has an office in Upland. I visited it today and did some fillers and Myobloc for some of her clients. It was a good experience. I will probably be going back. There is also a downtown Orange satellite in the works for those who don’t like the drive to San Clemente.
Stay tuned.

Goldie Hawn – Trout Pout? Well, not exactly…
Posted by admin in celebrity plastic surgery on August 26, 2010
She’d just popped out to get a coffee – but it looked like Goldie Hawn had got a quick fix of collagen too if her lips were anything to go by.
The 64-year-old actress’s mouth looked oddly immobile as she walked in New York – with lips not so much beestung, as attacked by a killer swarm with Botox in their stings.
The Private Benjamin star has long been rumoured to have flirted with filler and suchlike, but has always denied having any plastic surgery.

Goldie in the image at Dailymail looks like she’s probably had filler to the whole upper lip “aesthetic unit” (which includes the area below the nostrils as well) not just the lip itself as in the classic Trout Pout. If the lip wasn’t moving too much when the photographer imaged her, it is possible that she had some Botulinum toxin as well.
I kinda prefer lips that move, but at least when they don’t there are no wrinkles.

Reader Laura on the Lindsay Lohan Trout Pout
Posted by admin in Lip Filler on August 10, 2010
Reader Question:
Lindsay Lohan seems to have developed the “trout pout” once again. I always wonder why these celebrities seem to think this looks good.
Source: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1213220/What-HAVE-Lindsay-Lohan-goes-trout-pout-shows-pumped-lips.html
The real question is what looks good. It sounds like a silly question but whereas some people want to look natural others want to look “supernatural” in the area of lip fillers just like breast implants. I posted a conservative lip filler “Before and After” on the blog a few years ago and many readers could not tell the difference. They were likely used to seeing much larger Trout Pout lips.
I give patients a mirror when I do lip injections so they can tell me how much they want. Some patients end up with a partially saved syringe for later and for others we use it all.
As usual, it is all relative.
BTW – One of the Daily Mail readers likely had it right. Collagen is rarely used these days. It is far more likely Lilo had one of the hyaluronic acid-based products injected.

Reader Laura Asks about Poly-L-Lactic Acid
Posted by admin in soft tissue fillers on September 8, 2009
Reader Question:
New cosmetic injection of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic substance that triggers cells called fibroblasts in the skin to secrete collagen.
Have you ever heard of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and do you use it in your practice?
Poly-L-lactic acid (marketed in the US as Sculptra) is a soft tissue filler used mostly in AIDS patients to temporarily improve atrophy of the soft tissues of the face. I am not sure how much collagen synthesis it really encourages and don’t use it as it is quite expensive. There are too many soft tissue fillers on the market. None of the safer fillers last very long and the permanent ones tend to be associated with many problems.

By the looks of things, Lindsay Lohan just got a lip fill. I wonder which filler she uses.

Disfigured By Fillers
Posted by admin in Lip Filler, soft tissue fillers on July 30, 2009
[T]he British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) published statistics revealing that almost a quarter of their members had seen patients for surgery to correct problems caused by permanent fillers – injectable gels used to add volume to the face and, more recently, the body.
Permanent fillers are dangerous. Silicone gel was the prototypical “permanent filler.” No responsible plastic surgeons of whom I know offer it to their clients.
The good and the bad about the safe soft tissue fillers is that they don’t last too long. The newer Hyaluronic acid fillers (Hylaform, Restylane, Captique, Prevelle and the like) are probably the safest we have seen to date. They have the fewest reactions and problems, but last only a few months.
Stay away from permanent fillers.

Octomom had Plastic Surgery?
Posted by admin in celebrity plastic surgery on February 13, 2009
Neighbors told the New York Post that Suleman went to a plastic surgeon for collagen injections just before giving birth to the octuplets.
“I saw her just before she went in and her lips were huge,” one neighbor said.
Neighbors told the paper that her lip swelling had come down considerably by the time she gave her first interview, to Ann Curry for NBC’s ‘Today’ show.
This is why we need a welfare system? Our system is so broken.
