The Best And Worst Celebrity Boob Jobs

Hello My Beautiful Readers!

Today, I'm happy to share a guest post from Your Guide To Plastic Surgery, who will share some insightful lessons we can glean from the world of celebrity breast augmentations.

An actress' appearance can tremendously inflience her career. This is why plastic surgery is so common among women in Hollywood. When an actress reappears looking pretty and refreshed after a long time away from the spotlight, it is likely that she has had a cosmetic procedure performed. An improvement in appearance that is natural and noticeable but not obviously the result of plastic surgery is ideal. For more information on plastic surgery, check out Your Guide to Plastic Surgery.

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgeries in Hollywood. Since many actresses are slim or petite in physique, many of them do not naturally have large breasts. They often look to cosmetic surgery to add some womanly curves. And as an often welcome side effect, making the breasts bigger can make the waist appear smaller in comparison. A natural-looking set of breast implants should provide a moderate upgrade to what the woman already possesses. It only takes going up more than one or two cup sizes to make the implants look obvious and unnatural.

Blake Lively
Blake Lively has the best breast implants in Hollywood! She benefits from having an already stunning figure that is lean and healthy, so subtly increasing her bust size has only made her more attractive. Her implants can be seen in this photo. Her breasts were already big enough to sufficiently conceal the implants, which are likely made out of silicone. They look large and full but do not sag when Blake is not wearing a bra. Like many actresses, one of her reasons for having plastic surgery was wanting to look better in clothes. Blake now fills out her tops more so than she did before the surgery.

Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani is another blonde who has had great results from breast augmentation. Her implants are probably saline, which may not feel as natural as silicone ones do, but are the better choice for incredibly thin women who do not want the outlines of their implants to be visible underneath their skin. Gwen went from an A cup to a large B cup, keeping her bust in proportion with her slender figure.

Blake and Gwen are also stellar examples of tasteful rhinoplasty. They both started out with rather large, indelicate noses that have since been smoothed and refined. They exercised good judgment in leaving their noses big rather than having them reduced down to entirely different shapes. They modified their looks without disrupting the natural, graceful geometry of their faces.

Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale's implants are poorly placed and too big for her frame. They are obviously silicone because they create a defined valley down her rib cage in between their sharp edges. They are too high up on her chest and are too unnaturally perky, especially in a top like the one Kate is wearing in the photograph. They are so oversized that they actually caused her skin to develop stretch marks over them. Breast plants this obvious have been inserted over the muscle rather than underneath it. Placing implants under the muscle is more painful and necessitates a longer recovery period, but it results in more natural-looking breast augmentations. It is rumored that Kate's contract forbids screenwriters from writing any scenes in which she has to bend over because her implants will slide up to her collarbone due to their improper placement.

Tara Reid
Tara Reid has some of the worst celebrity plastic surgery results of all time. Her breast implants are too big and yet they still sag. This happens when a large silicone implant is inserted on top of the muscle and is only supported by the surrounding skin. When her top came down at a red carpet event, the world became privy to Tara's unsightly surgical scarring. Her surgeon did not direct her toward better implant and placement options, nor did he perform the operation correctly. Tara also has a lumpy, disfigured torso due to a botched liposuction procedure during which her doctor tried to remove more fat than a thin woman like Tara should reasonably have extracted.
The Takeaway
So how can women avoid these problems with botched plastic surgery? It all really comes down who they select as their plastic surgeon. Skilled plastic surgeons know how to make the procedures look more natural, but it also comes to what the woman requests. If a woman like Tara Reid asks for liposuction on her 110 pound frame, it’s kind of hard to make that look natural. If a woman asks for breast implants that are too big or too perky, the plastic surgeon should advise against this. But if the patient demands it, again, there is only so much the surgeon can do. It is best to keep realistic expectations and actually listen to the advice of a board-certified, skilled doctor, as they know what’s best – after all, they are the one performing the surgery!

Heidi Montag Before And After Pictures

Photo: HuffingtonPost.com

Unless you've been living under a rock recently, you've most likely heard the brouhaha over Heidi Montag's before and after photos in People magazine this week.

The controversy? The 23 year-old Hills star got a jaw-dropping TEN cosmetic surgery procedures done in one day.
Here's the grand total list:

-Mini Brow Lift (who lifts a 23 year old's brows?)

-Botox in Forehead and Frown Area

-Nose Job Revision

-Fat Injections In Cheeks, Nasolabial Folds and Lips
-Chin Reduction
-Neck Liposuction (Now I've heard everything)

-Ears Pinned Back

-Breast Augmentation Revision

-Liposuction on Waist, Hips and Inner and Outer Thighs
-Buttock Augmentation

Wow. Can you imagine what that recovery must have felt like?

Most good, board-certified plastic surgeons would refuse to stack that many surgeries into one day; the additional time spent under anaesthesia increases your risk of a serious complication like blood clotting, and it's difficult to heal properly from so many fresh surgeries at one time.

And another reality check: the "after" photo is an achievement of Photoshop flawlessness; in real life, anytime you cut into the skin - you'll leave some type of scar. Heidi no doubt has scarring going on here that we're not seeing.

All that said, I think I'm the only person on the planet who thinks she looks amazing in the "after" shot - except for the cartoonish breast augmentation. I'm willing to bet that Heidi is going to see some complications down the road for choosing such an exaggerated size for her naturally petite frame. She's asking her skin and tissue to do some pretty impossible things there.

But the funny thing is - I find myself looking at the before and after of her hair style the most out of anything. That sleek blowout looks gorgeous. And you know it only took 20 minutes, a big round brush and a hair dryer to achieve..something anyone can do for free in the privacy of their own bathroom.
