A Nose By Any Other Name.....



    Dr. Walden was recently quoted on celebrity news site HollywoodLife.com, discussing the many possible plastic surgery procedures of Kim Kardashian. Now Ms. Kim is no stranger to our blog....we have discussed her famous curves in many of our posts. The article brings up a topic that has crossed my mind numerous times in the last months....Kim's face seems to be changing daily. When you look at pictures from editorial shoots as well as paparazzi it is amazing how different her face looks from year to year. Our own Dr. Walden had this to say of her ever changing face:

    “It appears that Kim has undergone a rhinoplasty, or a nose job, to make her nose look straighter and the tip more narrow and refined,” NYC-based surgeon Dr. Jennifer Walden tells HollywoodLife.com. “She also looks as if she may have had Botox to her forehead to help it appear smooth, and fillers like Restalyne or Juvederm to the nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and possibly even the lips – although I think genetics has dictated her full lips for the most part!” she added.

    It states in the article that they think she is starting to look "plastic".....I don't necessarily feel that way at this point. That being said she is such a BEAUTIFUL young woman that I would hate to see her end up in Heidi Montag land. I think she looks amazing and if she has gone under the knife she should stop while she is ahead. It would be a shame to do anything else to such a natural beauty. So, keep it up Kim we think you look wonderful as you are!

Plastic Surgery, The Celebrity



    Welcome to this new blog about plastic surgery. In this world, cosmetic plastic surgery itself has become the celebrity. I am constantly bombarded with images, blogs, websites, TV shows, and radio talk about the subject. I am asked to comment by media on who has done what and when, what works and doesn't, and the latest trends in the industry. It's become crazy! When I went to medical school I had no idea what the future would behold.

    On the other hand, my practice is largely made up of young and middle-aged women seeking surgical treatment of some problem or anatomic area of aesthetic concern that has been bothering them for some time. They are normal people. They come to me with legit concerns, and do not want to look overstretched, overstuffed and overdone; in fact, often they don't even want anyone to notice. So for my first post I thought it appropriate to bring to light a news story I saw today on MSNBC.com. The title was "'Ugly' is the New Beautiful".

    The article said that one talent agency in New York City (where I live and practice) goes out of its way to look for unique models who are not considered traditionally beautiful. It said, "According to agency founder Simon Rogers, "beauty really does come in all shapes and sizes," and in the modeling industry, there's room for all. "We now represent a really candid cross-section of what America is," he said." So step aside, supermodels, because at this agency, "Ugly" looks for people who are from every walk of life!

    As a plastic surgeon I agree with appreciating beauty (and "ugly") in all its forms. Although a lot of people would say plastic surgery makes everyone look a certain way, I would argue that it absolutely does not... and good plastic surgery ideally is designed and individualized based upon one person's anatomy and desires. Good cosmetic surgery may even go undetected. We'll see if celebrities seek that willingly (or unwillingly) as we go forward here.

    So on that note, enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
