Celebrity Plastic Surgery

[MrsOldManBalls]

I wonder if it amuses Jack Nicholson to see that half of the women in Hollywood are paying big bucks to retain their youth only to end up looking like him?

My god, Priscilla Presley looks like something undead that just feasted on a live rat. She could have a bit part in a cheesy vampire movie. How atrocious.

Imo, browlifts are tied with cheek implants as the most-likely-to-look-MUCH-worse cosmetic procedures one can have. Too many surgeons go overboard on the brow lifts - if I was going to get that done I would say better a few wrinkles left than me permanently looking like someone just shoved a cold hand up my skirt. And the cheek implants almost always look bad - they're way too obvious.

Jessica Lange looks...surprised. And Priscilla - good lord, that's AWFUL. I mean, her entire face is frozen...nasty, nasty, nasty.

Jessica Lange is starting to look like a Kennedy (with a face that's freakishly both wrinkled and tight). Anyone else find themselves instinctively raising their eyebrows when they look at that picture, "matching" Jessica's expression? Just me?

Farrah Fawcett's cheek implants are starting to grow on me. She looks pretty on "Chasing Farrah" after you get over the initial shock.

IMO, it's not the face lifts with Priscilla that make her look weird, it's the cheek and (probably) chin implants. Why? What was wrong her face before? Nothing!

Here’s Priscilla in

November

Slightly scary, but nothing like she is now.

Actually, Nicole Kidman should take a long, hard look at Jessica Lange because that is where her forehead is...well, headed if she doesn't lay off the botox.

De-lurking to say: word. The upper half of her face...it...it just doesn't move anymore.

I never cease to find Priscilla Presley-esque results to be totally amazing (oh, and also amusing). I mean, either some celebrities just don't do their homework (which I would find difficult to believe, given that their looks are their bread and butter) or plastic surgery is just far more of gamble than I thought (which I'd also find unlikely).

Nicole Kidman has paper thin skin after so many treatments to remove her freckles. Apparently if you press her forehead with your finger it will leave an indent that takes ages to return to normal.

She shoulda just LEFT EVERYTHING ALONE!

I find that a little hard to believe, as human skin regenerates itself constantly. But if she's having some sort of peel or acid treatment regularly, probably the top protective layer (which is mainly dead skin cells) is gone, and there's not enough body fat there to make it pop back.

Also, plastic surgery is an imprecise science, no matter what the docs on TV say. Human bodies aren't like clay or paper that can be molded and sculpted and stay that way. Many factors effect the outcome, like the thickness of the skin, the person's healing rate, their general health, etc. Not all of these can be controlled. So I can see that even celebrities that have access to the best doctors can wind up with disastrous results.

Back on topic, Priscilla Presley looked horrifying. She looks like she's wearing the dead skin of a flayed face over her own, like an ancient Aztec shaman.

Hah! Those Aztec shamen!

My dearest hope is that all this cosmetic surgery and botox will eventually have some unanticipated and disasterous effect (for instance, facial skin suddenly hanging down to their elbows) and, voila! Us civilians will suddenly look a million times better than any of them! (Actually, a lot of us already do.)
