Celebrity Plastic Surgery Makes Headlines

When I was a teenager no one I knew had a surgically altered face. Plastic surgery was practically unheard of while growing up in Oklahoma with the nearest city twenty miles away; the only people we saw were those from our small, farming community and the women there rarely colored their gray hair.

The popular celebrities of the day did not have surgically altered faces yet we knew they were thin and beautiful and we wanted to look just like them.

That desire to emulate celebrities has not changed as we see non-celebrities from every part of the world dressing and copying their styles of clothing, buying and wearing celebrity named fragrances and some wannabes have even resorted to plastic surgery to imitate their favorite celebrity's faces.

Celebrities have been considered our royalty and we usually put a lot of trust in them; in fact, there is an implied consent that whatever they do is probably ok so if the celebs are busy chasing the elusive fountain of youth using surgical enhancements and injections that plump and paralyze, the hanger-ons are probably doing the same. Consider this: when celebrities sport plumped up cheeks and big lips, it's not long before the fans are flocking to imitate the look. Whether the fans go for the Jennifer Aniston hair, Heidi's breasts, the Angelina lips or the lifted derriere of Kim Kardashian, you can be certain that these enhanced attributes will not go unnoticed by their adoring admirers.

Looking young presents a lot of pressure for even the most beautiful because that natural beauty slowly abandons us. If you are in the entertainment business hoping to make a sufficient living in film, video, the stage, runway or television the stress and anxiety to maintain a desirable weight can be daunting. The constant pressure of starving while trying to maintain a flawless face can send even the most emotionally secure star over the edge much to the delight of those who prey on insecurities.

Plastic Surgery - The Good, Bad and the Ugly

Reality TV has turned plastic surgery into a form of entertainment and made it mainstream. It can be fun to check out the gossip websites and magazines critiquing the latest celebrity plastic surgery undertaking - both the well done ones, but especially those with unnatural or extreme results.

But for anyone considering plastic surgery for them, they may be wondering how some turn out so bad and some turn out so good. Well, these days you can know in advance, with software available to show you a snapshot of the potential results from your desired surgery.

The medical specialty of plastic surgery deals with the correction or restoration of form and function. The word plastic, used here, derives from the Greek word plastikos meaning to mold or to shape. It is not connected with the synthetic polymer or meant to imply an artificial appearance.

The practice includes not only aesthetic procedures but for treatment of burns, reconstruction and correction of medical deformities. Although the aesthetic side gets most of the attention, the majority of plastic surgeon performs both types, though they likely specialize in certain procedures.

More than 12 million cosmetic procedures are performed in the U.S. from the well known breast augmentation and liposuction to more specific procedures such as chin implants and cheek augmentations. Most patients are still women, but surgeries on men are increasing at a fast pace.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery - Demi Moore Plastic Surgery Tactics

In this article we'll take a look at celebrity plastic surgery and of course, Demi Moore plastic surgery tactics and get down to the bottom of what she does to look so fine at her age! It's no secret that this Hollywood celebrity has had a ton of plastic surgery work done on her face and body to look as good as she looks today! Virtually no woman on earth(after having so many kids especially), can look this good naturally!

It is said that she has spent over $500,000 on plastic surgery in the past alone! This does not include the money she spends on upkeep costs such as routine chemical peels, restylane injections and facials! These costs can add up quite considerably also.

What is certain is that she's had a breast job. After having three kids it's virtually impossible for a woman's breast to have such upkeep. So this alone is a $20,000 procedure. Coupled with very small, unnoticeable-to-the-eye breast implants, which adds another $20,000. She has also had a blepharoplasty surgery under her eyes to remove tiredness which can cost upwards $8000.

Collagen injections can cost up to $405 per course! She has also has her entire teeth done. This includes veneered teeth and laser whitening, which costs approximately $13,000. This woman is the epitome of very good celebrity plastic surgery.

There is no telling what other Demi Moore plastic surgery tactics will take place in the future, but it's certain that she has very good doctors! It has also been speculated that Demi Moore has had cheekbone implants and chin implants also. Her face is very well sculpted for a woman her age. She also has said in interviews that she is an avid fan of face exercises.

Facial exercises help add structure, support and help tone all major facial areas including the jaw line, cheekbones, chin, neck and can even eliminate under-eye puffiness and bags! Kudos to Demi for the fine work she has had done!

Toni Braxton Before After Nose Job, Breast Implants

Toni Braxton before and after nose job and breast implants plastic surgery.

Toni Braxton's plastic surgery tale is ancient news, however it was recently brought to the forefront when Ms. Braxton tweeted about her past procedures, and the ongoing speculation about further tweaks.

So apparently Ms. Braxton has a new 'look' about her, and some people believe that its also attributed to plastic surgery... She responded with this little message.
Yes indeed, her past procedures appear quite evident in these before and after photos, especially the nose job, which significantly narrowed the width while creating more definition.

Roseanne Barr before and after plastic surgery

As for the boob job, she reportedly had them removed for one reason or another, perhaps complications? It isn't exactly clear.
So we'll leave you with this little excerpt from a previous interview she had with People Magazine...

Parts of me are 41 and parts of me are 20..[I will undergo] nothing else...I don't want to be a turkey, stuffed and plucked and baked.

Supergirls X-Ray Vision Detects Foreign Objects

Just stumbled across this little comic sketch, and couldn't help but share it with the community here. Lord knows we all need a good laugh from time to time!

I think Supergirl has a new career in her sights...

Roseanne Barr Before And After Plastic Surgery

Roseanne Barr before and after nose job, facelift plastic surgery.

Everyone's favorite rude and crude comedian/actress is making her show business rounds again, you heard it folks, Roseanne Barr is making a comeback.

This news is on the heels of her recent U.S. Presidential campaign announcement, which is probably nothing more than a sly tactic to sale copies of her new book, entitled Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm.

Tyra Banks before and after nose job plastic surgery

Seeing Ms. Barr back in the spotlight, left us wondering about her past, a past that includes a few run-ins with plastic surgery...
In fact, Roseanne Barr isn't the least bit shy talking about her previous cosmetic procedures, including a nose job (rhinoplasty) and a breast reduction, which was actually preformed for medical purposes.

Ellen Barkin before and after plastic surgery

Apart from those two medical endeavors, Roseanne has also been quite candid about undergoing a minor facelift operation, saying...

Now I realize that everyone has to get old and die, but it was still a very bad experience....No one looks better after plastic surgery. Just pink and shiny. At the end of it, you look like an idiot.

Perhaps jokingly, she later attributed her plastic surgery decision to her un-happy relationship with fellow actor Tom Arnold.

Every time I had a break I would have surgery. I think just to get away from him and then when I came back there'd be nurses in the house and I wouldn't be alone with him.

Ellen Barkin Before And After Plastic Surgery?

Ellen Barkin before and after plastic surgery, lip injections?

Ellen Barkin is a lovely and talented longtime hollywood actress, known for starring in motion pictures including Sea of Love, This Boy's Life and Drop Dead Gorgeous, just to name a few.

One thing that Ms. Barkin has made very clear while chatting it up over the years, is that she is totally against invasive plastic surgery...

I think it's dangerous. Women who have had major surgery are sending out the signal saying, 'I'm not happy with where I am, so I want to be somewhere else, I want to be like I was at 30.

I think face lifts make you look older not younger. You look at them and think either they look crazy or awful. For some of them, I will say, 'Oh, wow! That looks like a beautiful woman (but) it just doesn't look like the same beautiful woman.

However when it comes to non-invasive procedures, Ellen has readily admitted to undergoing collagen enhancing treatments such as Thermage and Fraxel.

I don't have problems with fillers and non-invasive procedures. I think a little bit of everything is OK, I'm fine with it all except Botox.

The whole Botox craze, what it says to me is 'I am desperately unhappy with where I am in my life's journey, I don't like it, I want to disguise it, I want to erase it. Like, 'I'm not comfortable being 30, 40, 50, 60.' And I have issues with that.

She even took it one step further and voiced her displeasure for observing actors who have undergone too much plastic surgery.

I don't want to see someone I've watched in movies for 20 years and not know who they are, with their eyebrows somewhere in the middle of their hairline. If I see someone on screen whose face can't move to express emotion, then I'm no longer interested in watching them act.

One thing that Ellen fails to mention is her thoughts about lip injections, however from the looks of this track-record of before and after photos, it would appear shes not appose to the idea.
I must admit, its quite admirable of Ellen Barkin to voice her opinion about plastic surgery, considering how popular this trend has become among many of her peers in show business. However i imagine the feeling is somewhat mutual among fellow celebrities, who recognize the alarming rate of plastic people.

Tyra Banks Before After Nose Job Plastic Surgery

Tyra Banks before and after nose job plastic surgery?

Tyra Banks is a tremendously successful American model, television host/personality and actress, perhaps best known for hosting The Tyra Banks Show, and for her work on the reality series America's Next Top Model.

For as long as memory serves me, Tyra Banks has been front and center of numerous plastic surgery rumors, most notably breast implants and a nose job (rhinoplasty) procedure.

Apparently Ms. Banks was tired of all the breast enhancement speculation, so while taping an episode of her talk show back in 2005, the "keeping it real" advocate unhooked her bra and let the world see them hang, however she even took it one step further when she brought out a doctor and underwent a televised sonogram.

I'm tired of this rumor. It's something that's followed me forever. By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it's not a choice that I made. But it's something that a lot of the public think that I have, and that's so frustrating for me.

The results from the sonogram exam were clear, and Tyra Banks was totally vindicated of having breast implants, end of story... or was it?

As you can see, Amerie's new re-sculpted nose is dramatically thinner, with a more prominently defined bridge and pointier tip.

The overall scenario is somewhat reminiscent of Rapper Lil Kim's nose job, except Amerie experienced a much more favorable result, which was most likely achieved during a single procedure, opposed to the multiple operations undergone by Kim.

Blythe Danner Talks About Botox And Plastic Surgery

Blythe Danner is a lovely and talented American actress, who has been making the show business rounds for over forty years and counting, recently recognized for her role in the 'Fockers' film series. She is also well-known as the mother of a-list starlet, Gwyneth Paltrow.

In a recent interview with Us Magazine, Blythe Danner discussed her thoughts on plastic surgery, and her own personal use of botox injections...

Well, I think we've all fooled around with [Botox]. I think, you know, we've got so much at our fingertips now, why not take advantage of it? There are extraordinary things that can help us now.

I mean I can't stand the big, puffy lips. That stuff is just crazy! And the cheekbones that come out to here! I feel like, why do they think they have to do that?

And while Ms. Danner didn't delve any deeper into any further plastic surgery of her own, others have speculated she may have undergone a minor facelift and eye lift. However botox is the procedure which is evident in our eyes.
