Reviewing Celebrity Plastic Surgery
From noses and eyelids to breasts and chins, celebrity plastic surgery is everywhere. Hollywood has helped shape how we want to look when we walk out of the cosmetic surgeon’s office; from Lisa Rinna’s inspired lip plumping to Jennifer Aniston’s cute little nose. While living in the limelight can definitely have its perks and advantages both in monetary gains and unparalleled opportunities, the downside of living life on the red carpet is that celebrities are subjected to constant scrutiny.
In the pursuit of perfection, it is easy to overdo, and overdoing is typically always worse than taking the conservative approach. It is almost impossible to undo what has been done. Why do sane objectives and otherwise good doctors temporarily discard sound doctrine? If a doctor has a celebrity patient, then he supposedly gains celebrity status when successful celebrity plastic surgery is performed. An opportunity to latch onto fame, fifteen minutes or otherwise, is most times too hard to pass up. The lure of celebrity drives even the most rational doctors and citizens to do things they might not normally do.
Media personalities reach their level of success and fame by being attractive, charming and smart. With their money and their prestige, they can be very manipulative and convincing in order to get what they want. That is why it is hard for cosmetic surgeons to say no to a celebrity. Surgeons want to say yes; they want to satisfy the important person that is making a request from them.
Just as celebrities stand before the public to be emulated, like the rest of us, they too are not immune from making bad plastic surgery decisions. They have no special wisdom that comes along with their fame. Just like the average citizen, they may not do enough research to find the most talented cosmetic surgeon for their particular needs. Sometimes they rely on a manager or hired hand to do the search for them. Away from the studio, they have no super powers or divine knowledge that can lead them to the right plastic surgeon. Just like the rest of us, they need to do their homework.
Is any of that really making people look younger or just more absurd? Cosmetic surgery is most effective when it sticks to correcting perceived flaws, like a misaligned nose; and enhancing assets, such as a breast lift. Trying to replicate the look of youth poses a greater challenge. Does the tighter, wrinkle-free and smooth-skinned look showcased through celebrity plastic surgery make you look younger? Not necessarily.
