So what’s new? There’s always something new with the celebrities — like that wafer-thin cell phone only Tom Cruise seems to have. It’s the same in the world of beauty and fashion – there’s always something ground breaking, something, dare we say it, ‘cutting’ edge. Something perhaps even Heidi Montag hasn’t tried yet….
So what are the celebrities up to? Surely, the Miami Thong Lift is doing the rounds proudly! It doesn’t use conventional implants to enhance the buttocks but re-sculpts the area using existing body fat. The ‘booty’ isn’t necessarily made bigger, just firmer and more shapely.
The Brazilian Tummy Tuck is designed to give you a much more defined waistline than the traditional method as it combines abdominal surgery with liposuction. The results are perfect for showing off in this season’s cut-out swimsuits.
The American cosmetic surgeon, Dr Lloyd Krieger, is the creator of the Rodeo Drive Couture breast augmentation procedure. From his clinic on Rodeo Drive, he has consulted with stylists and boutique owners to better understand how body and breast shapes best fit into fashionable, designer clothing.
Whatever the new treatments on offer, it doesn’t mean that the celebs have turned their backs on the more traditional procedures.
One celeb who is less than happy after her brush with cosmetic surgery is Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud. She had a procedure for lip fillers which went disastrously wrong and caused her to comment “never again!” Luckily her ‘trout pout’ has subsided and she is back to her gorgeous best.
Across the Atlantic, Fergie, of the Black Eyed Peas, has been causing some raised eyebrows after her recent red carpet appearance. She looked noticeably different, fuller lips, higher brow and less lined generally.
Her husband, Josh Duhamel, answering questions from the press said it was down to ‘a new shade of lipstick’. Hollywood cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Mark Schwartz, thinks she may have had as much as $30,000 of work done; including brow and eyelid lift as well as cheek fillers.
Others think it could just be the work of Botox and chemical peels and with Botox prices ranging from $250-$500 even the most basic procedures come at a price. At the moment the jury is still out, but you can’t deny, she does look fantastic!

While no one is born perfect in every way, the quest for perfection never leaves us. Statistics tells us that 85 percent of us have a yearning – sometimes latent – to get that perfect body, such as… if I could only have that immaculate nose of Nicole Kidman. And no one can blame you for wanting to feel good about yourself!
Thanks to modern cosmetic surgery, the craving for the ideal face parts, breast and belly can be fulfilled via safe procedures. Plastic surgery is no longer a Hollywood domain – proven by the fact that 51 percent of all Americans approve of cosmetic surgery, according an April 2011 survey conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
Celebrities do tend to form the role models for most in terms of what they – or their body parts – should like. Got a thing for Halle Berry’s cheeks? You can easily get some extremely safe facial implants from a board certified plastic surgeon to enliven your face by filling up any hollow spaces.
With the bikini season just around the corner, many will be envious of Rihanna — polled to have the ‘sexiest celebrity stomach’. No worries here as well. One should be able to put up a decent contest against Rihanna by indulging in a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). That should help turn heads by not only tightening up the abdomen but also removing any stretch marks.
While there is a cosmetic surgery solution to nearly every part of the body, to many, plastic surgery just spells breast enlargement – and not without good reason. Once again, Hollywood has made the practice extremely popular (remember Heidi Montag?), and breast implants have been soaring in popularity. It has been the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for three years in a row now, followed by liposuction (removal of unwanted fat), according to data collected by ASAPS.
However, one key to successful plastic surgery, would be to get educated as much as possible about your body, the process and what to expect. While the resources for acquiring this knowledge are aplenty, one needs to trust only some established professionals for advice. One source is plasticsurgeryguide.com.
Ultimately, what it all boils down to is the question of how you want to feel about yourself. If that ugly scar below your ear is bothering you, you won’t really be feeling on top of the world – and that can play havoc in one’s social and professional life.
Thanks to the increasingly safer cosmetic surgery procedures, you are now able to acquire that dream body. After all, wasn’t it the great novelist George Eliot who said “It’s never too late to be what you might have been”?

Celebrities have a strange love-hate relationship with publicity. While it’s like oxygen to them, they still claim to hate the media. Secrecy and fame indeed make bizarre bedfellows.
For starters, I can appreciate to some extent, though not quite, why they would want to hide a nose job. Here, in part 1 of a celebrity rhinoplasty mysteries, I plan to dissect (no pun intended) the hottest controversies surrounding some of the top celebrities attempting to keep their plastic surgery a secret.
ANGELINA JOLIE. Did she or didn’t she? Although there’s no proof that the 31-year-old beauty has gone under the knife, some like to think she had the tip of her nose refined. Many believe Jolie has had a nose job and cheek implants sometime in the last ten years.
Faces do undergo some sort change with age, but Jolie’s nose thinnning and pronounced cheekbones are typical tell-tales of plastic surgery.
