Lara Flynn Boyle - What Happened to Her?


Wow. What has happened to actress Lara Flynn Boyle's face? Her face is so puffy it is almost unrecognizable.

I feel really bad for her. I can only think of one medical reason why her face would be this puffy: steroids. If she is not on steroids for some particular reason (rheumatoid arthritis or other auto-immune disease) then it is very likely her plastic surgeon has been a bit over-zealous with fat grafting, Sculptra, or even liquid silicone injections, like what Priscilla Presley has had. For the record, I perform fat grafting and Sculptra injections quite often, and have never seen a result like hers from these relatively safe and conservative treatments. With her history of plumped-up lips, I would bet on some plastic surgery as being the cause of her unusual appearance, however. Her puffy face is not due to weight gain, as she looks as small as ever.

She may very well have BDD, or body dysmorphic disorder. This is a psychiatric condition where a person looks in the mirror and sees something that everyone else doesn't see. It can lead some people to undergo excessive amounts of plastic surgery in a misguided attempt to correct deformities that aren't there in the first place.

For her sake, I hope she gets some professional help, and not of the plastic surgery kind.

Did 14 Year Old Ali Lohan Get Her Lips Plumped?


Did Lindsay Lohan's 14 year old sister Ali Lohan have her lips augmented? Looks like it. This is a bit disturbing in two ways:
First, what plastic surgeon would inject lip filler into a fourteen year old girl?
Second, what mom would consent to have her fourteen year old daughter have a lip augmentation procedure?

While the risks of lip augmentation with a common filler like Restylane or Juvederm are minimal, this is a very unusual procedure to perform in a minor. I do not think it is right to perform ANY cosmetic surgery on minors, unless it is to fix a real deformity. This is not a good thing to teach our young teens. Normal sized lips are not a deformity.

The Lohan family has got some issues.

Teenager Dies During Breast Surgery


An 18 year old recently died during a breast surgery in West Boca Raton, FL. Apparently, 18 year old Stephanie Kuleba was undergoing a procedure to correct her breast asymmetry when she went into malignant hyperthermia and died shortly thereafter.

This is a very unusual situation. Malignant hyperthermia is not a common condition, and the vast majority of plastic surgery performed on healthy people is not associated with a complication, much less a death. This tragedy does highlight the fact that plastic surgery is SURGERY, and must be taken very seriously.

I've been interviewed about this subject and others (Priscilla Presley) on the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel tonight at 11pm EDT. Check it out if you get a chance!

Did "Dr. Jiffy Lube" Treat Priscilla Presley?

There is an interesting story from TMZ.com which speculates that a man posing as a cosmetic surgeon injected Priscilla Presley with industrial, low-grade silicone used in auto parts...possibly at Lionel Richie's home! According to the story:


Priscilla... went to Dr. Daniel Serrano around 2003. Serrano was a good-looking doc from Argentina who... started giving them what he claimed were miracle injections that worked better than Botox. In fact, Serrano was injecting industrial, low-grade silicone similar to what's used to lubricate auto parts... Several women, including Shawn King, Larry's wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S.


Silicone is not approved by the FDA for cosmetic injection into the face, although it has been used for that purpose in the past. This can create granulomas (a massive inflammatory response), infections, permanent deformity, and rejection with open sores and scarring. Because of these problems, I am not a fan of long-lasting or permanent fillers, but prefer injectables such as Restylane, Perlane, or Juvederm, which typically disappears within 6-12 months.

Maxim's List of Scariest Celebrity Faces


I happened upon (via a link from Cityrag.com) a list that Maxim.com has compiled of the Top 11 Scariest Celebrity Faces. Click here to start browsing it.

Most of these faces appear to have been altered by overdone plastic surgery, although there are a few which do not appear to be the result of plastic surgery gone wrong.

I understand that Gary Busey was in a terrible motorcycle accident some time ago, which caused significant brain damage and possibly also facial bone fractures. The head injury could explain his extra-friendly behavior to Jennifer Garner on the red carpet of the Oscars, and an orbit fracture can explain the asymmetry in his eyes. He may have a condition of his left eye called orbital dystopia, which occurs when the floor of the eye socket is fractured, causing the eyeball to migrate downward. It is frequently combined with enopthalmos, where the eyeball becomes sunken in due to similar factors. It can be improved via facial recontruction surgery, often using bone from his skull or a titanium plate to remake the floor of his eye socket. So that may explain Gary Busey being on this list.

As for Willem Dafoe, I don't think he's had plastic surgery. He just looks creepy.
