Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
Dionne: Well, there goes your social life.”

From Cher’s (one of plastic surgery’s Queens) 1995 movie “Clueless”
Injection Trauma…Dana Delany had an injection mishap when her dermatologist traumatized a nerve over her right eye causing permanent weakness.  This complication is verey rare!  In fact, so rare that this is the first time that I have heard of it.  Ms. Delany claims that hair dye is now her only anti-aging “secret”.

Breasts…Pamela Anderson’s breast implants are world famous.  They have been in, out, and in again.  “I’m not against plastic surgery, what I’ve had done will stay with me and that’s fine, but I don’t want anything else.”….for now!

Filler Diaster…Priscilla Presley definitely chose the wrong doctor, Daniel Serrano.  Oops, “Dr.”  Serrano wasn’t even a licensed doctor. Serrano was jailed in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs.  He injected her with industrial low-grade silicone that he smuggled illegally from Argentina. Ms. Presley ended up with lumps in her face and lips — although she was luckier than some of Dr. Serrano’s other A-list patients, who complained of paralysis and holes in their skin.   Avoid your friend’s “doctor” who comes to the house or hotel room with a suitcase of injectables!

Breasts…Tara Reid suffered unfortunate humiliation after a wardrobe malfunction was captured on the red carpet revealing her botched breast augmentation.   “I cried and begged the photographers not to print it, but it was everywhere.  I was on the Web sites as having the ugliest boobs in the world.” The same surgeon botched her abdominal surgery. She had corrective surgery by a competent surgeon and needed psychological counseling for one year following the damage done to her body (and mind).

The Queens of Plastic Surgery…What would a review  of celebrity plastic surgery be without “props” to the Ambassators of  plastic surgery, the great comedians Phyllis Diller, Joan Rivers, and Cher?  Ms. Diller said, “My phtographs don’t do me justice…they just look like me” and  “It’s a good thing that beauty is only skin deep or I would be rotten to the core”.   Joan Rivers, after a lifetime of plastic surgery, lamented, “I wish that I had a twin, so I would know what I look like without plastic surgery”. Joan’s book, a guide to plastic surgery for women, “Men Are Stupid…and They Like Big Boobs” documents her experiences with plastic surgery and advises women curious about the subject.

For now, it’s time to get back to our clinic and keep our celebrity patients looking their natural best so that they continue to remain off these lists in the future.  Less is more not only for celebritiy patients, but for all of our patients.  Be well.
