La Toya Jackson Plastic Surgery

When the name Jackson comes up in the context of plastic surgery, the obvious connection is to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. However, while Michael Jackson’s plastic surgery is well documented and extremely recognizable, he is not the only member of the family that has had work done.

Last week, Dr. Wigoda reviewed pictures of La Toya Jackson’s plastic surgery, Michael’s older sister, and shared his thoughts on the evolution of her multiple plastic surgeries. View the video and photos below or visit Dr. Wigoda’s plastic surgery YouTube channel for more information.

Here is a glimpse at what Dr. Wigoda suggested about La Toya Jackson’s plastic surgery:

“She has definitely had her nose done many times, probably has a chin implant, breast implants and has probably had multiple liposuctions.  In my opinion, her surgery is completely overdone and does not look natural at all.”

In the case of plastic surgery, more is definitely not better. Generally speaking, if you are interested in a nose job, one is all you should need. With breast implants you will only need one surgery if it is done right and the same applies to liposuction.

Paris Hilton’s Nose Job: Celebrity Rhinoplasty Gone Wrong

She is one of the world’s most photographed women, but is her face truly a work of perfection?

While never admitting to having any sort of cosmetic surgery procedure like rhinoplasty, many celeb-watchers have always speculated that Paris Hilton’s looks are not “au naturel.”

Dr. Wigoda has reviewed some photos of young Paris Hilton compared with current photos of the heiress, and here’s what he had to say.
“When looking at Paris Hilton, its clear she has had at least one rhinoplasty. In my opinion, she went from having an attractive, normal appearing nose, to one that looks overdone. It is too narrow in the bridge area and the tip now looks like its hanging.

I would be curious to know if she can breathe well through her nose. She is a good example of two things: one, a smaller nose is not necessarily more attractive (and definitely not more functional) and two, just because you can afford to have cosmetic surgery, doesn’t mean you should have it done.

I prefer her “before” nose to her “after.” Too often, cosmetic surgeons have over-resected tissue in noses, trying to make them too narrow or too small. This makes the nose look operated on, unnatural, and unattractive.

Frequently, the nasal walls can collapse when the patient breathes in, making it difficult to breathe. Patients then require a reconstructive procedure to build their nose back up so they can breathe normally again.”

Heidi Klum No Plastic Surgery Necessary

She’s not called Heidi “the body” for nothing.

At 35, Heidi Klum is truly one of the most beautiful women in the world – and according to Dr. Wigoda she is definitely an all-natural beauty. Known to credit her good genes for her appearance, German-born Heidi certainly has her parents to thank for giving her the supermodel looks we all idolize.

Here’s what South Florida plastic surgeon, Dr. Wigoda has to say:

“Obviously, it is difficult to come up with anything less than positive to say when looking at one of the world’s most beautiful women. From a cosmetic surgery standpoint, she has no flaws to fix.

She has perfectly smooth skin in the forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet region. There is no way to know if this is good genes or if she has had Botox, but I suspect it is mostly genetic. Her jaw line is perfect. She has no jowls and the skin is taut throughout.

Looking at her eyelids, there is no skin laxity in the upper or lower lids and no fatty bags in the lower lids. She is still relatively young, though. At 35, women with good genes who take care of themselves (don’t smoke, avoid sun exposure, eat healthy, etc) often don’t need to have any work done, although some will have Botox more as a preventative treatment than to eliminate existing wrinkles.”

Seal is one lucky guy!

Aufedersein!

Celebrity Botox Confessions

Getting Botox in Miami has become about as common as getting your haircut, getting a manicure, or even going to the gym.celebrity botox

In Hollywood, what used to be a hush-hush procedure deflected by starlets who credited their smooth skin to good genes and sunscreen is now so common that even young actresses regularly admit to using Botox.

Actress and singer Vanessa Williams, who at 45 looks 35, credits Botox with her youthful appearance. Williams tells PEOPLE Magazine in the latest issue that she gets Botox “every three months” but that it’s definitely “not a lot”.  Other stars including Brook Shields and Jenny McCarthy spill their Botox secrets in the latest issue as well.

Quality over quantity seems to be the mantra when it comes to having Botox injections, and Dr. Paul Wigoda of The Aesthetics Institute and Me Day Spa certainly abides by this standard.

“Botox is not something that you use in the same way on each patient,” said Dr. Wigoda. “You have to understand their face and facial movements as well how to apply the least amount of Botox to achieve maximum results.”

Check out the video of Dr. Wigoda applying Botox to a patient below.

Mickey Rourke’s Bad Celebrity Plastic Surgery

In the crazy world of Hollywood, it’s usually female celebrities we see sporting the scars of bad plastic surgery. However, a new crop of aging former hunks has decided that the only way to retain their former heartthrob status is to go under the knife…sometimes with less than perfect results.

In this week’s post, South Florida plastic surgeon Dr. Wigoda takes on the challenge of figuring out what exactly happened to Mickey Rourke.  Is his boxing career to blame for the rapid decline in his looks or did he just pick a bad plastic surgeon?

Ashlee Simpson’s Celebrity Plastic Surgery

Ashlee Simpson is one of the youngest celebrities in Hollywood who admits to having plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the US and it’s amazing how great the results can be when done correctly! Ashlee’s plastic surgery shows us that just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you have to have tons of work done!


Here’s what Dr. Wigoda, Fort Lauderdale’s best plastic surgeon, had to say:

“Its pretty amazing what rhinoplasty can do! Ashlee Simpson went from a slightly-above-average-looking young lady to a very attractive woman.

From a plastic surgery standpoint, her surgeon did an excellent job with her rhinoplasty. She is not overdone and if we didn’t know her before, you wouldn’t know she had her nose done at all.

The goals when doing a rhinoplasty are:

  • obtaining a natural appearance
  • shaping the nose to fit the persons face
  • not making the patient look like a completely different person(unless they are hiding from the FBI!)
  • most importantly, shaping the nose so the patient can breathe easily.

It is fairly often that I improve a patient’s airway while making their nose look better. If you have trouble breathing through your nose, especially when lying down (and trying to go to sleep), it is quite annoying. This is the primary complaint of patients who consult with me for a rhinoplasty.”

Three cheers for appropriate use of plastic surgery Ashlee!

Dr. Wigoda’s Red Carpet Monday’s - Joan Rivers Plastic Surgery Addiction

Joan Rivers is most known in Hollywood not for her long and successful comedy career, but for her very vocal admissions of having more plastic surgery than most celebrities.

Take a look at the pictures below…hard to believe it’s the same person isn’t it? Take a look at what Dr. Wigoda has to say about her celebrity plastic surgery below.

Dr. Wigoda’s Red Carpet Monday: Madonna’s Plastic Surgery Mishaps

Yikes! Queen Madge is that you? We can hardly tell beneath the chicken cutlets protruding from your face. Even though Madonna is a celebrity, that doesn’t make her immune to bad plastic surgery.

There’s no denying that the material girl is definitely turning into the material mature woman. Our feeling is, if you are going to have cosmetic surgery done that isn’t appropriate for your age and facial structure, DON’T GET ANY!

Here’s what Dr. Wigoda had to say about Madonna’s recent cosmetic surgery:

“What a scary photo…not sure what her doctor was thinking but I can’t imagine this is the look they wanted.

Starting from the top, her forehead looks a bit long but with few
wrinkles… this is either from botox or she may have had a forehead lift. If so, this might explain why she has allowed her dark hair roots to grow one inch (not wanting to color her hair with incisions in the area).

Her eyelids have probably been operated on and overall look reasonably good. There is minimal excess skin in the upper eyelids and minimal “bags” in the lower lids although she does have a distinct tear trough. I generally try to fill this in with the fat from the fatty bags when I do a blepharoplasty. It’s unclear if her surgeon did this or just removed excess fat, which is an older, less advanced technique still used by some surgeons. There is more skin visible on the left upper eyelid than the right, this could just be from the photo or she could be asymmetric. There are few crows’ feet suggesting she has had Botox.

Below the eyelids is where things start looking a bit scary. It’s hard to know exactly what was done but whatever it was, it wasn’t done well. If I had to guess, she most likely had a face and neck lift with incisions around her ears. They may have removed some fat from the lower cheek and I think pulled the skin too tight, giving her that “swept” look just below her cheeks. Her cheeks are too full…either from a filler like radiesse or from fat injections (fat transfer) or even an overly aggressive mid-face lift.

Her nasolabial folds are fairly smooth, most likely from fillers like Radiesse or Juvederm.

Madonna has a full upper lip with a small lower lip…could be her natural state or they could be filled with a filler like Restylane or Juvederm.”

Madonna, we love you just the way you are. Now fire that surgeon and make an appointment with Dr. Wigoda.

Red Carpet Monday “The After Party Edition:” Tori Spelling and Plastic Surgery.

OOPS! We were so busy ogling over the celebrities that turned out for a variety of events last week that we neglected to give you your daily Monday dose of celebrity plastic surgery goodness.

Have no fear; the plastic surgery patrol is here.

This week’s subject: Tori Spelling.

You can love her, hate her, or love to hate her but at least you’re talking about her. Growing up the incredibly wealthy offspring of TV’s most prolific mogul gave Tori plenty of access to the “services” of many California plastic surgeons. Dr. Wigoda certainly has plenty to talk about…

“Looking at this photo of Tori, what stands out to me are her cheeks. They appear somewhat abnormal in their contour and size. I can only guess that she has had them injected with a filler (perhaps Radiesse) but it appears to have been done poorly.

Her lips are fairly full. This could be natural, or perhaps they are also injected with a filler like Juvederm or Restylane.

Her forehead is fairly smooth without any wrinkles. This could be from Botox injections. The quality of her skin looks good but she is fairly young.

In addition, lighting and makeup can camouflage any irregularities. My suggestion for her would be to ease up on the cheek treatments and perhaps find someone else to do them.”

Tori, the chicken-cutlet look isn’t good for you. Give Dr. Wigoda a call.
