New Revelations About John Edwards and..Plastic Surgery?




New details are emerging about former politician John Edwards. In addition to cheating on his cancer-stricken wife, a new book alleges that he used donor money to fund hiding his lies about the child he spawned with former mistress Rielle Hunter. Of note, I was actually asked by the National Enquirer to look at photos of her baby right after the story broke, whom they suspected could be Edwards'. I declined the invitation at the time. Looks like they were right on target with that one!


An insider recently remarked to Gawker:

In his book, Young writes that Edwards switched from Diet Coke to "caseloads" of Sprite and Sunkist after shelling out for plastic surgery and "new teeth" that were susceptible to stains.
Edwards' other drink of choice was cheap white wine -- over ice -- which his minions would keep at the ready in a cooler in Edwards' car.
"He's so nouveau riche," the snitch said. "He's totally a guy with no taste who suddenly came into a lot of money."



I never liked John Edwards. He always reeked of opportunist to me. I wonder what plastic surgery he had?

Jessica Simpson Lip Injections

Well folks, its a pretty slow day in celebrity plastic surgery news, so lets take a stroll down memory lane and revisit Jessica Simpson and her experimentation with Restylane lip injections.

Reminds me of a sixth grade science project gone wrong, or the moments leading up to a hot dog wiener bursting on the grill.

I bet she won't be trying out anymore lip injections after that 4 month mishap.

On a side note, did we ever decide if Jessica Simpson has breast implants or not? I need some closure in my life.

Amy Winehouse Breast Implants

Amy Winehouse before and after breast implants.
If you're like me, you have probably asked yourself the question "what does Amy Winehouse do while shes not chasing the dragon".

Well, wonder no more because the answer is clear, she enjoys getting large lopsided breast implants, in a poor attempt to gain attention after slipping into the dark obscure realm of no return, that celebrity singers almost never recover from.

Judging from the before and after picture, she is still getting the hang of her new breast implants (no pun intended) as they look to be popping out all over the place.

I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll be mentioning Amy Winehouse and plastic surgery in the same sentence. Just a hunch.

Cheryl Cole Plump Lips

Cheryl Cole is a beautiful and extremely talented singer/songwriter, fashion designer and author, who is currently the hottest celebrities in the UK. (Like Britney Spears 2000 USA)

Cheryl was recently pictured inside a London airport while trying to shield her mouth from the paparazzi cameras, but not before this shocking image was taken, revealing what clearly looks like over injected collagen lips.

This is the first time that Cheryl Cole has been the subject of plastic surgery rumors, and her reps quickly came to her defense, saying that she has “definitely not” had any work done.

Sounds like what any good representative would say about their client, but this before and after picture tells a much different story. A story of celebrity collagen trout pout lips.

Kat Von D Nose Job

Katherine Von Drachenberg, perhaps better known as Kat Von D, is the excessively tattooed, tattoo artist who stars on the television show entitled, LA Ink.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or has Kat's nose become extreme narrower since she first appeared in the spotlight a few years back?

Clearly she has had a ton of work done...tattoo artwork that is, but has she also joined the celebrity plastic surgery ranks?

Looks like a bad nose job to me, cut and dry.

Is Heidi Montag a Hero?

I was watching the news last night and there was a report that stated that Heidi Montag's plastic surgeon called her a 'hero.' Now, I haven't read the context that this was taken from, but I would like to give the benefit of a doubt to her surgeon that he doesn't seriously consider her an actual hero. From what I know of her situation, I would consider her a confused young woman who has psychological problems stemming from self-image and self-esteem issues.

My opinion:
Volunteers in Haiti: Heroes
Troops in Afghanistan: Heroes
Sully: Hero
Man Who Heckled CarrotTop at Latest Performance: Hero
Heidi Montag: Not a Hero

Natalie Portman Nose Job

Natalie Portman is a real stunner in the Hollywood beauty ranks, but is she all natural or did she need some help from the local plastic surgeon?

I wanna believe the delightful Natalie Portman of today, is free from any plastic surgery, but its really hard to argue with the before and after pictures of what looks to be a nose job.

What do the readers think? Has Natalie Portman had a nose job?

Claire Sweeney Breast Implants

Claire Sweeney is a somewhat successful English actress and singer, but probably best known for getting ridiculously fake looking breast implants.

When will these girls learn, if the natural breast is not big enough, you can't go shoving D implants under your skin, it simply won't look normal.

If she was insistent on getting a boob job, she really should have went with smaller implants, because that four lane highway on her chest is not very appealing.
Do these breast implants remind you of anything? Like Victoria Beckham's Boob Job.

Lindsay Lohan Lip Injections

Lindsay Lohan before and after lip augmentation.

When i think of Lindsay Lohan, i think of a woman who has tremendous potential with endless opportunities for an amazing acting career, and ultimately a woman who perhaps took success for granted, and got pulled into the lonely Hollywood backwash of tireless nights...

I think its safe to say, Lindsay Lohan has made her fair share of cloudy judgments in her short life.


And when you consider she is still so very young, and to be making decisions in regards to life altering plastic surgery, like breast implants and even her latest habit, lip injections, perhaps she should reevaluate her way of thinking and seek guidance from other celebs who have triumphed from similar folly.

Wow, this kinda turned into a PSA, sorry folks.

Courtney Peldon Breast Implants

Courtney Peldon is a longtime Hollywood film and television actress, appearing in numerous low-budget projects with relatively obscure roles since the late 1980's.

Probably not even worth mentioning, but Courtney Peldon has had a major upgrade in the breast department.

The actress went from, what looked liked a rather small B cup, to a very full D cup.

Her breast implants aren't exactly bulging through her flesh, like we see so often with over-sized implants, but you can definitely tell they are fake, at first glance.

She already had lovely breasts before the plastic surgery, but perhaps she felt this procedure would "boost" her career.

Latoya Jackson Bad Plastic Surgery

Latoya Jackson before and after plastic surgery.

Yesterday we did a little feature on the talent Ms. Janet Jackson and her plastic surgery adventures.

And today we bring to you a much more startling event, in which her much older and less talented sister , Latoya, pushed the limits of the plastic surgery realm.

Latoya Jackson's over operated face is hands down, some of the worst celebrity plastic surgery results i have seen (maybe top 10), and perhaps the worst nose job thus far, its really that bad, folks.


When you think about how much nose she had "removed", its simply shocking, and the finished result is....well, cartoon-ish.

The frozen forehead leads me to believe that a brow lift was purchased at some point, and her lips have surely seen a few injection needles in their days.

Nose jobs, collagen, botox and lifts, oh my!

Octomom Had A Tummy Tuck (I'm Pretty Sure)


So now Octomom is on the cover of Star Magazine claiming her flat stomach is not the result of a tummy tuck. I think that's a load of hooey. This is the same person who claimed she did not have her lips plumped up.

So what's the telltale sign of her tummy tuck?
Look at her belly button. It's a vertical slit. While we can't see the long scar associated with a tummy tuck (see my website page here for a diagram), the belly button looks like her surgeon either created it herself or inset it as a vertical slit. In my opinion, this is a telltale sign of a tummy tuck.

It's nearly impossible for her tummy to flatten like it has without plastic surgery. There should be a considerable amount of extra skin, and the belly button usually resembles a ^, not a .

Octomom, your nose is growing!

If you live in the Metro Detroit area, I will be calling in to Fox 2 News tomorrow morning at 8:30am to discuss the Octomom and Heidi Montag.

Janet Jackson Nose Job

The Jackson family name is most synonymous with two things, great music and plastic surgery operations, and this article isn't about preforming arts.

Janet Jackson, the youngest of the famed Jackson children, is cute as a button and perhaps the most talented of the bunch, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

Unlike her beautiful god given singing voice, Janet Jackson has obviously had some plastic surgery to help out her appearance.

There is differently no debate about the nose job (Rhinoplasty) she has underwent, shaving off quite a bit to achieve her desired look, however apart from the nose job, she looks to be all natural with a great facial bone structure, including those remarkable cheek bones.

By the way, has she aged in the last 20 years?

Marg Helgenberger is a longtime Hollywood actress, best known for her role as the fiery crime-scene investigator/forensic scientist on the hit television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI: Las Vegas).

You don't need to be a certified CSI to solve the mystery of Marg Helgenberger's ever changing face...

The culprits are clearly, a boatload of botox and an extra helping of collagen lip injections.

Its really a shame she decided to opt for plastic surgery, seeing how in 2002 she looked to be aging quite gracefully (with the collagen lips).

Natalie Imbruglia Cheek Implants

Natalie Imbruglia is that cute little Australian pop singer, who made it cool to wear the pixie hairstyle again, back in the late 90's while she was topping the music charts with the super catchy song "Torn".

I've always thought of her as an absolute natural beauty, in fact shes done a bit of modeling and acting over her career as well.

However, Natalie is looking a little different these days, and to be more precise, I'm referring to her cheeks, which seem to be much more prominent than before.

I suppose this could be related to aging...but its quite a change, from merely a decade ago, and this leads me to believe she did have plastic surgery (cheek implants).

Cytori Gets FDA Approval For PureGraft System


Cytori Therapeutics, one of the world leaders in stem cell technology, has recently received FDA approval for its PureGraft system. Now, this is not a stem cell harvesting machine, but instead is a device that makes fat grafting more efficient. According to released information, PureGraft helps to prepare fat for reinjection within about 15 minutes. It's scheduled to be formally launched at the May meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Washington, D.C.

Does this mean actual stem cell transplantation for cosmetic purposes is close to reality in the U.S.?

I doubt it. 'Sigh'

Mariah Carey Breast Implants

Good golly miss molly! Did anyone else notice something different about Mariah Carey, during last nights Golden Globe Awards show?

It looks like Mariah Carey got huge breast implants!

And is it just my imagination or has Mariah Carey's breasts been getting bigger and bigger throughout the last decade or so?

But you gotta hand it to her, they look absolutely amazing and very natural i might add, seeing how she does have a great voluptuous body with a little extra cushion in the right areas.

What do you think, was plastic surgery (boob job) the right choice, in the case of Mariah Carey.

Cher at the Golden Globes


It's been a while since I've seen Cher on TV, so when she initially appeared on stage last night at the Golden Globes I thought, "Oh, she looks the same as usual." Then she spoke. Her face doesn't move! Is that the price for looking the same as she did ten years ago? An immobile face?

Maybe she should lay off the neurotoxin for a while.

Just in case you couldn't live without her, we bring you an Octomom update.

My, how Nadya Suleman is looking so very different these day, in fact it looks like she has almost completed the full transformation into her idol, Angelina Jolie.

The proud mother of 14, recently found some time to pose for this "sizzling" bikini photo shoot, and boy does her stomach look...different.

Call me crazy, but i think we're looking at a world class tummy tuck here, and is it just me or does her belly button look like a coin slot on a soda pop machine...


And if I'm not mistaken, those breasts are very new, and not in a lactating mother type of new, we're talking newly inserted. (Kinda like that coin slot belly button).

I wonder if any of her plastic surgery was paid for with our tax dollars?

Tara Reid liposuction plastic surgery.

It appears her surgeon went a little overboard and sucked too much fat from her stomach, resulting in quite a bit of scaring around the navel area.


Tara Reid surely did not has enough body fat to even consider liposuction, but that didn't stop her plastic surgery decision.

iPhone Apps That Remove Wrinkles, Cellulite, and Even Grow Hair?


Now I've heard of everything! There is a company that is selling iPhone Apps that claim to erase wrinkles, smooth cellulite, reduce puffy eyes, and even grow hair! Here is the company's explanation of how using their iPhone app can erase wrinkles:

The wrinkle eraser uses green color and the Jade gemstone to increase collagen and elastin. Green is the color of nature. It is related to love and self-love and includes the ability to give and take love unconditionally. It has a calming effect that especially builds collagen, elastin, and protein therefore helping with wrinkles and fine lines.

What a crock! I know of no evidence that putting a certain color light on your skin can do anything at all. If this was truly the case, I'd sleep with a green light over my face.

Heidi Montag Plastic Barbie

Heidi Montag before and after plastic surgery.

I imagine by now, you've all heard about the drastic transformation of Heidi Montag and her extensive list of plastic surgery operations.

The sheer amount of plastic surgery which Heidi Montag has underwent in such a short period of time, is extremely shocking to say the least, and when you consider this is a 23 year woman we're dealing with, its even more startling.

Here is a list of her recent plastic surgery procedures, in alphabetic order.

Breast Implants
Botox Injections
Brow Lift
Butt Augmentation
Chin Reduction
Ears Pinned Back
Facial Fat Injections
Liposuction of the hips, neck, thighs and waist.
Nose Job.

Well it looks like Heidi Montag has decided to become a completely new person, all she needs to do is change her name and presto chango! New identity!


The celebrity formally known as Heidi Montag was quoted as saying "I'm beyond obsessed" with plastic surgery...

This should be a wake up call to any and all young women, who view Heidi Montag as a role model. Learn from her dreadful mistakes.

Heidi Montag - Plastic Surgery Addiction


The media is currently buzzing about People Magazine's newest issue with Heidi Montag. In the issue she admits to being "obsessed" with plastic surgery and recently undergoing ten procedures during one operative setting in November. What the heck is going on here?

Heidi is a 23 year old young woman who obviously has self-image problems. Because she has no real talent to keep her in the spotlight she appears to be using plastic surgery as a sad attempt to stay on the covers of magazines. While this may work for a week, the results of her surgery stay for life. Here's what I think about the ten procedures she's had done:

Revision nose job - unnecessary. It looked fine after the first one. This just creates more scar tissue which could cause problems down the line.
Chin reduction - Why? Her chin looked good before.
Mini brow lift - stupid. Her brows were not droopy.
Botox - unnecessary in a 23 year old. She had no real wrinkles before. Now she has a "Botox brow" and looks like Cruella De Vil.
Fat injections - Not needed. She is too young to need fat grafting to her face. Unless the person has an unusually flat face, I usually consider this in the 30's at the earliest.
Ear pinning - I'm unsure about this one. It's reasonable if she had ears that stuck out.
Liposuction - ridiculous - She's too thin to need lipo. She should talk to Tara Reid.
Buttock augmentation - dumb - Heidi had a very nice derriere before the surgery. She should leave well-enough alone. She risks it becoming lumpy and uneven.
Breast augmentation revision - Probably unnecessary. Unless she had a complication or wanted to downsize, there was probably no reason to do this.

Overall, a 23 year old woman should not be having this many surgeries. Most, if not all, of her surgeries appear unnecessary and could even potentially make her look worse, not better. Unless there is more to the story than there appears on the surface, I don't think all these operations were the right thing to do. Send the poor woman to a shrink instead.

Internal Brow Lift

Internal Brow Lift

This procedure is used to remove the unwanted excessive upper eyelid skin. In this process an incision is made in the upper eyelid. Careful elevation of the upper eyelid muscle allows accessing the tissue underneath the central and temporal eyebrow.

Then it is unnoticeably closed with absorbable surgical seam which dissolve in 3-5 days. This procedure can be performed in the office or as an ambulatory procedure in an outpatient surgical facility, often combined with an upper eyelid Blepharoplasty.

After 30 minutes of surgery ice packs will placed on eyebrows and should expect to have bruising and swelling for 4-6 days.

Brow Lift

Brow Lift

As we age, muscles in the brow and forehead area may becomes thinner and less elastic and the structures supporting it to the facial skeleton become weaker and less able to resist the pull of gravity. One of the earliest signs of aging occurs in the forehead and eyebrow area.

Brow Lift

Facial ageing is a gradual process causing the appearance of heavy eyelids and looking tired, when in reality one may not be! Female patients find this most troubling, as there is dropping of the eyebrows and wrinkling of the skin (frown lines, crow's feet, horizontal forehead lines, etc).

Drooping of the eyebrows can also lead to excessive eyebrow skin accumulating in the upper eyelid.This is a result of the constant use of the muscles in the forehead for facial expression.


Brow Lift

The term "brow lift" is used to surgical procedure that can dramatically improve a tired or sad look above the upper eyelid and eyebrow region. It is a series of procedures that are used to; improve the position and shape of the eye brows, reduce frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. It is an important eyelid surgery that successfully treated the affected areas.

Brow lift surgery can be performed alone or along with a facelift and/or eyelid corrective surgery. The brow lift surgery also plays an important role in eyelid surgery, as the upper eyelids cannot successfully treat until the brow lift has been completed.


Several techniques are used including placing the incisions within the scalp; a patient was literally scalped as an incision was placed from ear to ear to elevate the forehead and brow.

Brow Lift Surgery

Forehead wrinkling has been a commonly treated aesthetic ailment with the growing use of BOTOX® and other neuromuscular paralyzing agents.

A brow lift is commonly performed on patients in the 40 to 60 range, helping to minimize the visible signs of aging.


Types of Brow Lift:



There are several techniques to lift the brow. These can be non-surgically (such as thermage) or full surgical correction with the coronal brow lift.

Endoscopic Brow Lift(click this link for more Info)

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Brow lift can also be done with an endoscope using "smallest" enveloping surgery.


Temporal Brow Lift(click this link for more Info)


Temporal brow lift procedure is for those patients who find wrinkles at the corners of the eye (crow’s feet) as lifting the temporal brow will flatten the wrinkles as the skin and muscle are placed on stretch during the elevation.


Internal Brow Lift(click this link for more Info)


Internal Brow Lift procedure is used to remove the unwanted excessive upper eyelid skin.




Brow Lift Procedure:(click this link for more Info)

Brow lift are divided into ‘open’ and ‘closed’ types. Each type has specific indications for its use and many variations on how they should be performed have been described.

A less common indication is in the treatment of an excessively long appearing forehead due to a high hairline. The internal steps are essentially the same regardless of the type of operation selected, open or closed.

Most of the patients can go home on the same day of the surgery and for the next 4 to 72 hours you do as little work as possible.

Brow Lift Complications

Brow Lift Complications and Risks:


  • Bleeding usually occurs within the first 24-48 hours of the procedure and may require a return to the operating room.

  • Infection surgical incisions, even though created in ideal circumstances, can become infected.When appropriate, antibiotics will be prescribed to lower this risk.

  • Hair loss there can be a degree of hair loss around the incisions. Although usually transient, it can be permanent.

Brow lift are divided into ‘open’ and ‘closed’ types. Each type has specific indications for its use and many variations on how they should be performed have been described. A less common indication is in the treatment of an excessively long appearing forehead due to a high hairline. The internal steps are essentially the same regardless of the type of operation selected, open or closed.

Closed, or endoscopic, brow lifting uses telescopes to access the forehead from small incisions in the scalp. It is best for those people who have a normal (or short) forehead length and for males with a family history of male pattern baldness. Minimal to no scalp tissue is removed.

In an open type or traditional, brow lifting uses a longer cut in the scalp or at the hairline and removes some scalp or forehead tissue. It is particularly good for patients with "high" foreheads.

Brow lift can also be done with an endoscope using "smallest" enveloping surgery.
Temporal brow lift procedure is for those patients who find wrinkles at the corners of the eye (crow’s feet) as lifting the temporal brow will flatten the wrinkles as the skin and muscle are placed on stretch during the elevation.

Sharon Stone on Meryl Streep, Plastic Surgery, and "Unmade Bed(s)"


Sharon Stone has recently commented on Meryl Streep's lack of plastic surgery, calling her an 'unmade bed.'

According to Splash News:

The 51-year-old Basic Instinct star made the comment in reference to how good she looks without having plastic surgery.
She said: 'She looks like an unmade bed.'


Stone added that Streep 'looks true. It is a very good reason as an actor not to have surgery, but to do it in the old-fashioned way - to go to the gym and take care of your internal life'.

Asked if she has ever thought about plastic surgery herself, Stone said: 'I'm not saying I might not do a little something later. Not now.'

Not now? What about breast implants? What about some Botox between her eyebrows? I wouldn't want to be called an 'unmade bed.' That sounds wrinkly to me. I'd rather be a futon with throw pillows.

Thanks for reading.
