Pam's New Look

Pamela Anderson (41) best known for her breast augmentations debuted a new look in Miami this past weekend. The mother of two looks a lot more refreshed without the tremendous amount of make-up she usually cakes on her face. Although she does look different I doubt she has gotten anything new done to her face. She is definitely wearing a strawberry blonde wig which deviates from her usual platinum blonde tresses. It also looks like she may have gotten a filler to plump up her lips.

AnnaLynne: the new Anna Nicole?

90210 star, AnnaLynne McCord may have previously played a plastic surgery addict in the drama series Nip/Tuck, but we�re not convinced she�s had much done in real life. Her flawless complexion and gorgeous bone structure have led some to suspect she�s gone under the knife. However, one thing experts have noticed are her unnaturally full lips. According to Dr. Paul S. Nassif, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, �AnnaLynne has absolutely had her lips done. They are over-inflated.� This 21-year old actress has followed in the footsteps of many young and beautiful celebrities in deciding to enhance her appearance with injectibles, we just hope she doesn�t overdo it.

Smokey Robinson...Not so "smokin"

So this week on American Idol the top 10 attempted their best renditions of Motown's greatest hits. The guest artist this week was none other than music legend, Smokey Robinson. Of course the Idols were almost spellbound in his presence and like weeks before had the opportunity to work with him one-on-one. Mr. Robinson seemed genuinely glad to be there and offered encouraging words to the Idol hopefuls. As I watched him throughout the show I kept thinking to myself...how old is this man?? I mean when he spoke about many of his colleagues from back in the day, it was mainly in past tense. He is no spring chicken, but his face is abnormally youthful. It is apparent that he has had a facial tune up. It is rumored that he has undergone a face lift, brow lift, a possible rhinoplasty, laser treatments, and injections. I am all for keeping things young looking for as long as possible, but he had that "surprised" look to his face that never went away. I just wish it wasn't so tight looking. Despite all of his "freshening" up attempts he still sings as if a year has not passed. His voice is truly amazing and it is obvious what an amazing gift he possesses!!

"Grand Theft Mammo" woman surrenders

A California woman was caught opening a fraudulent line of credit in order to pay for $12,000 worth of plastic surgery. As of Tuesday afternoon, Yvonne Jean Pampellonne, 30, gave herself in to authorities in Huntington Beach, California. Yvonne was wanted on charges of commercial burglary, grand theft and identity theft. According to Reuters.com " The Orange County Register newspaper reported that Pampellonne -- who had attracted sensational coverage as the so-called "Boob-Job Bandit" in the local media -- was caught by police detectives using breast implant tracking numbers. She arranged her surrender through an attorney and has since been released on $20,000 bail with orders to face an arraignment on the charges on May 27." Pampellonne had opened a line of credit in someone else's name, as well as used a fake identity and false medical history in order to get breast implants and liposuction performed on her at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Huntington Beach, California. I'm aware that many women these days are interested in breast augmentation, but to go to such lengths of stealing someone's identity for implants is unbelievable!

TomKat's $43,000 Makeover

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reportedly spent over $40,000 on their new looks. This photo, taken at the Japanese premiere of Tom's film 'Valkyrie', shows Katie's new long locks. Apparently her hair extensions, which she hasn't been seen wearing since the premiere, took 48 hours to do. She camped out at Tokyo's Ritz-Carlton with her team of beauty experts for 2 days receiving spa treatments before the premiere. Reporters are speculating she may have received tooth veneers, perhaps some fillers and Botox and premium make-up.

Jenny Loves Botox!

Funny gal and former playmate Jenny McCarthy (36) has openly admitted to using and loving Botox, the popular injectable for facial lines around the eyes and forehead. According to Make Me Heal news, Jenny has been quoted as saying "I love Botox, I absolutely love it...I get it minimally, so I can still move my face. But I really do think it�s a savior�. I think Jenny looks absolutely beautiful and by the look of her face she does Botox moderately and does not look overdone. She still has facial expression and her skin is smooth. She may also have had skin treatments like facials and peels.
Jenny is no stranger to plastic surgery as she is rumored to have had breast augmentation.

Pure Glamour at the Metropolitan Opera's 125th Season Gala

Last Sunday the Metropolitan Opera in NYC celebrated its 125th Season with an evening of beautiful singing and a red carpet Hollywood would envy. It is one of the few times where a red carpet has such a diverse mix. There was the standard "NYC Social Crowd" and this year many of the most acclaimed TV and movie stars attended. When there are this many fascinating people in one area you are assured to have an amazing red carpet. There were two stars that stuck out to me when I browsed over the red carpet pictures. The first is Taylor Momsen, one of the break out star from the teen favorite "Gossip Girl". It is amazing to look at these pictures and comprehend she is ONLY 15!!! There have been rumors that the star has gone under the knife with a possible Rhinoplasty, and possibly botox. I find that very hard to believe and just chalk it up to great genes and that wonderful thing we all call youth!! She wore a beautiful crimson Marchesa gown that was fitting for the event. Many ridiculed the star that the look was too "old" for her. I think she pulled it off beautifully and really looked confident in the garment. The other person that stood out to me was the ever beautiful Christy Brinkley. It is astonishing that as she gets older she looks younger and younger. Over the years there has been speculation upon speculation that the supermodel has had multiple procedures including face life, breast augmentation, and possible injectables. Ms. Brinkley has denied going under the knife saying, "I once watched a face lift on TV and knew I could never do it." All I know is it looks like she has found the fountain of youth. She looked stunning in her black figure hugging gown. I must say everyone looked fabulous....it was hard to pick just two to talk about!!

The number one non-surgical procedure for both men and women are botox injections. This study calculated that over 53% of these cosmetic procedures were performed in Doctor's offices n 2008, 26% in freestanding surgery centers and 19% were performed in hospitals. "Americans spent just under $12 billion on cosmetic procedures; $7.2 billion was for surgical procedures, and $4.6 billion was for nonsurgical procedures."

Poker Face?

Newly acclaimed Princess of Pop, Lady GaGa is known as much for her mystery, often hiding behind huge shades and outrageous outfits, as she is for her hit singles, Just Dance and Poker Face. However, we think it�s no secret that she may have had a little help achieving her crowning look.

Make Me Heal has reported the 22-year old has likely undergone rhinoplasty given the drastic change in the shape and size of the star�s nose. Lady GaGa�s nose previously overpowered her face and had a hooked appearance. According to plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Paul S. Nassif, �Lady GaGa definitely had a rhinoplasty. It looks a little pinched, but not bad.� The improvement brought a nice balance to her face, allowing the rest of her features to shine without leaving her unrecognizable. Other sources speculate a chin implant and breast augmentation may have also added to the starlet�s enhanced look. Whatever work Lady GaGa�s had done, it has clearly added to her confidence and her career has taken off. We look forward to seeing this rising songstress for many years to come.

SkinCeuticals has a "New Serum on the Block"

A few of us in the office had the opportunity to sit down with our lovely SkinCeuticals representative last week. They have an exciting new product on the market called Phloretin CF. This brand new patent pending product has just hit the market and is not just a "new cure all wrinkle serum". The thing that separates this vitamin C serum from all the others is its new technology. SkinCeuticals.com explains it best....(well, for sure better than I could), "Phloretin CF�, a broad-spectrum treatment, protects against not only free radicals, but the range of other reactive molecules known to cause damage and DNA mutations among the integral cell types. In addition, it corrects existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of essential proteins and fibers and accelerating cell turnover." In other words the serum is different because it not only protects against broad spectrum damage, but it also corrects the damage you might already have AND help your skin turn over new cells. The best part is once you put in on it can't be washed off or rubbed off like other products on the market. Your skin will absorb and store the product so your skin will be protected for 24 hours and possibly longer. The end result is less appearing fine lines and wrinkles, and protected skin that looks radient and healthy. This product is already recieving a lot of media buzz, and has recieved an Allure Best of Beauty Award. I had the opportunity to try the product, and I really liked it. I have been a little leary of serums in the past because they can be oily and heavy. My skin absorbed the product quickly and left no oily residue at all. You can find SkinCeuticals in your Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeons office, because the products are medical grade. We carry SkinCeuticals in Dr. Walden's office too! So, no matter your age it is important to protect your skin from sun damage.....after all it is the only skin you get!!!

Faye Dunaway - Who Thinks She's Seen Dr. Sloan?

Who watches Grey's Anatomy??

Did anyone see the last episode where Faye Dunaway plays Dr. Campbell? I think she may have visited Dr. Sloan while

she was there! Born in 1941 (that makes her 68) she is looking pretty young in the face. It appears as though she has had a facelift, maybe some Botox, perhaps some laser treatments and a blepharoplasty (eye lift). I cannot be sure, but she does have the "pulled" look from a facelift, or perhaps multiple facelifts.

This photo is from her younger years - she is a pretty woman who has aged very gracefully. Perhaps with some help though! :)

Princess Rihanna

The Barbados born beauty, Rihanna (21) who is best known for her songs Umbrella and Disturbia, has been involved in an altercation in which Chris Brown (19) allegedly assaulted her. Recently there was a leak of a picture of Rihanna after the alleged assault and she appears to be swollen. Our very own Dr. Walden weighed in on the situation "...what Rihanna needs is a new boyfriend and counseling to get out of an abusive relationship as soon as possible (if the allegations are true regarding Chris Brown). Thoughts and prayers are with her during what must be a difficult time " (Source:Make Me Heal). It may still be too soon to determine if she will need some sort of surgical procedure, she may just need some resting time to get back to her old self. Rihanna however has been speculated to have had breast augmentation and rhinoplasty (Source: Stars Plastic Surgery).

The Queen of Reinvention

Madonna, the �queen of reinvention� has done it again, but this time to her face. Spotted at Vanity Fair�s post-Oscar party, Madonna has received quite a response to her incredibly youthful appearance. According to ABC News, specialists speculate that she underwent several procedures to achieve this look. Dr. Suzan Obagi, director of the University of Pittsburgh's Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health Center, suspects she had a facial treatment just days before the big night, "It looks like she had a sapphire abrasion or a vibra facial. These are procedures in which the skin is exfoliated and a serum is applied." Photographs of Madonna two days before Oscar night with shiny, salmon-colored skin support her suspicion, as this look is likely the result of removing a layer of skin. However, Dr. Bruce Katz, director of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine's Juva Skin and Laser Clinic, argued that Madonna�s fresh look may actually be the result of a new laser procedure called fractional resurfacing which, like a facial treatment, tightens skin and lessens the appearance of wrinkles and pores. He goes on to say, "Her skin looks great -- no sunspots, it's supple, not tight, so it doesn't have that pulled look, which is indicative of a facial treatment as opposed to surgery."

Both specialists agree that Botox also played a hand in Madonna�s recent flawless complexion. Her arched brows and the smoothness between her brows are tell-tale signs of the popular procedure. Obagi went on to add, "She has also had Botox of the 'bunny lines' -- the lines that are created on the side of the nose." While derma-fillers will last up to 6 months, laser results could last several years. Whatever her tricks may be, we applaud Madonna for her beautiful maintenance and wish her all the best for what are sure to be many successful years to come.
