Tales of celebrity plastic surgery…

Actress Patricia Heaton had a tummy tuck in 2000, that didn’t turn out so well. Her belly button has gone missing!

I don’t know about you, but I would be horrified if my stomach looked like that. Why can’t people just go to the gym, rather then the plastic surgeon, to improve their bodies?

Janice Dickinson has admittedly spent around $100,000 on plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. To date, Janice has had the following procedures:

* Tummy Tuck


* Breast Implants


* Lip Implant


* Cheek Implants


* Neck Lift


* Face Lift


* Breast Lift


* Liposuction


* Upper & Lower Eyelid Surgeries


* Injectable Fillers (such as collagen)


* Botox


* Veneers

If it can be sucked, tucked, implanted or injected, Janice has probably had it done! In Janice’s own words:

“Believe me, I’m a 900-year-old dinosaur and without 14 inches of make-up and 32 pounds of fake weave I wouldn’t look the way I do. I want to be the best-looking corpse there is…I’m honest about it; I haven’t got a problem with it. I borrow bits from everyone. Every six months I fly to Dallas to get Botox and I also get collagen injections…I’m addicted to cosmetic surgery.”

While Janice Dickinson doesn’t look as horrifying as some plastic surgery addicts, she definately is starting to look like she’s obviously had a lot of plastic surgery, which shouldn’t be the goal of cosmetic surgery. Although, I do give her credit for being honest about it, rather then lieing like most celebrities.

Gene Simmons, the lead singer of KISS, underwent several plastic surgeries while filming his reality show “Gene Simmons Family Jewels”. Gene had a face lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck performed, and his girlfriend Shannon Tweed had a face lift as well.

Here is the interview Gene Simmons gave AETV.com regarding his choice to have plastic surgery:

“How did you decide to get a facelift?
The face lift happened matter of factly. I decided to do it and when Leslie Greif, one of the executive producers on the show, asked if he could film it, I said, “Why not?”

Did anyone try and change your mind?
The kids weren’t that crazy about it, but went along with my decision. They trust my instincts. Shannon was fine with it. Matter of fact, she went with me. [In regards to] the rest of the world, I hardly ask or share info with anyone else.

Besides the facelift, were you considering getting anything else done? If so, what?
I also had tummy tuck and took some off of my man boob.

Ten years ago, would you have considered getting this surgery?
Ten years ago, I never thought about it. That doesn’t mean I had fast and rigid rules. I don’t. I never did. I always give myself the option to make up my mind when and where.

What anxieties/worries did you have before the surgery?
I had no anxieties or worries. Once I decide to do something, I do it.

Have you had any second thoughts about getting it done?
Have no second thoughts. I am more stunning now, than ever.

How did your family react to the results?
Sophie and Nick were a bit shocked. Soph cried when she first saw me, because she thought I was in pain. Once I explained to her I was feeling no pain, the rest was easy. As I said, they trust my instincts.”

Rapper Lil Kim has undergone quite a transformation thanks to her plastic surgeon. Well, I wouldn’t exactly thank her cosmetic surgeon, but I guess it’s her choice to look like this…

Lil Kim before plastic surgery:

Lil Kim after lots of plastic surgeries:

Little Kim has undergone some major changes, including breast implants, tummy tuck, nose job, cheek implants, collagen injections, botox injections, eye work and it appears that she recently had some sort of face lift as well. Her face is pulled so tight, she literally looks asian. Yikes!

Lil Kim after too much plastic surgery:

Lil Kim looking very much like she’s asian now:

Can you believe people spend tens of thousands of dollars to look like this?! Little Kim is quickly crossing into Michael Jackson grade plastic surgery. WAY too much going on with this one.

Donda West, Kanye West’s mom, died dued to complication of undergoing cosmetic surgery. Donda had two cosmetic surgeries (tummy tuck and breast reduction) performed at the same time, and died at her home two days later. Kanye West’s mother was 58 years old when she died.

The surgery that caused Donda West’s death was performed by Dr. Jan Adams, who was later revealed to not be a board certified plastic surgeon.

Remember, simply because a procedure is “cosmetic”, doesn’t make it safe. Most cosmetic surgeries are considered major surgery. Would you get heart surgery if it wasn’t necessary? Would you want someone that you love to risk death to make their breasts somewhat perkier for a few more years? Or, do you love them as they are? Nowadays, plastic surgeons try to upsell additional procedures to clients to make an extra few bucks. Going in for a breast augmentation? Well, how about we suck a little fat out of your waist too. What they fail to tell you is that multiple cosmetic procedures, performed at the same time, significantly increases your chance of complications and death. There is a 1 in 3200 chance that patients that undergo multiple cometic procedures will die. Is it really worth it?
