Kurt Cobain’ widow Courtney Love has undergone her share of plastic surgery disasters since his death in 1994. But her days of going under the knife are over, thanks to a chance encounter with Jocelyn Wildenstein, aka Catwoman.

At 45, Courtney has undergone two or three nose jobs, lip augmentations, breast implants and liposuction. But after seeing the horror that is socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, Courtney has been said to swear off plastic surgery.

A popular British tabloid has quoted Courtney as saying, “I could do with another boob lift, but no way.

“I don’t want to end up looking like her. She looked freaky.”

To achiever her “freaky” appearance, Jocelyn is rumored to have spent in the neighborhood of $4 million on brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat grafting and/or cheek implants, a facelift, lip injections in the form of Collagen, and chin augmentation. Now, she is rumored to be undergoing reconstructive plastic surgery (See Make Me Heal’s story on Jocelyn Wildenstein’s plastic surgery).

Although she hasn’t reached Catwoman status yet, Courtney’s decision to cease having plastic surgery seems like a good idea, considering all the botched procedures she’s had in the past (See Make Me Heal’s story on Courtney Love’s plastic surgery).

Plastic surgeon Dr John Di Saia has another theory on Courtney’s intention to stay away from plastic surgery, saying, “She has had her share and I also hear she’s out of cash. Good for two reasons.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California says, “Courtney Love has made a wise decision to avoid altering her appearance further. She had some work done in the past, and would not benefit from further procedures. Courtney appears satisfied, and as long as she is comfortable that is what matters.”

While Make Me Heal is glad that Courtney is done with the knife for now, it is likely that once Jocelyn’s image fades from her memory, her zeal for plastic surgery will return, as it has before.

Socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein is a cautionary tale of bad plastic surgery, using the knife to transform her appearance. But lately she has been looking slightly less bizarre, leading Make Me Heal to wonder if she has had some revision plastic surgery.

69-year old Jocelyn is rumored to have spent around $4million in an effort to make herself into a “Catwoman,” and thus more pleasing to her former husband, a big game cat lover. Her drastic cosmetic procedures have made her a tabloid favorite over the years, but recently many have begun to notice that Jocelyn’s appearance has tamed down some, which could be a result of a new round of cosmetic procedures designed to reverse the results of “Catwoman.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Ellenbogen says, “Whoever redid Ms. Wildenstein is a genius. I can’t think of a harder reconstruction. I’m sure the doctors who did the face transplants didn’t work as hard I have redone her face over and over in my mind over the years…good job colleague.”

To reverse Jocelyn’s drastic procedures, plastic surgeons would have to work very hard to lower Jocelyn’s preternaturally raised brows and very full face.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr David Shafer says, “Jocelyn Wildenstein’s brows are back in normal position, her cheeks are smaller in size and her lips are starting to look normal. Whatever she did works. She has a way to go, but she is headed in the right direction.”

Jocelyn’s previous plastic surgery procedures likely include brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat grafting and/or cheek implants, a facelift, lip injections in the form of Collagen, and chin augmentation.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California says, “Jocelyn Wildenstein appears to look a bit different from photos taken a year ago. Her facial features look a bit more natural than they once were. There is a possible reversal of a browlift to lower eyebrows and the corners of her eyes may have been dropped. Regarding her less full face, on a rare occasion, fat can be removed. And if it was injectable silicone, the silicone can be excised but this happens on very rare occasions as well.”

Whatever the reason for Jocelyn’s change of face, whether it’s years of tabloid ridicule, or her new man, Make Me Heal is glad the Jocelyn seems to be restoring herself to her former glory.

In a bid to retain her small claim to fame, Tara Reid is reportedly getting ready to pose for an upcoming issue of Playboy, plastic surgery scars and all.

33-year old Tara has notoriously undergone a botched liposuction and breast augmentation procedure back in 2004. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Tara Reid’s plastic surgery). Back then she seemed disinclined to show her body in the popular men’s magazine, saying that her body:

“It looked like I got completely butchered up. The areolas … they looked like goose-shaped eggs,” Reid said about her boob job. Of her liposuction, Reid said, “My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.”

Since then, Tara has often been seen sporting a bikini, reportedly after going corrective surgery to fix the bulges on her stomach. To repair a botched body contouring procedure, fat grafting or other techniques are often used, sometimes with great or not so great results.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Ellenbogen says, “Tara Reid had bad liposuction. A few doctors have tried to repair it. It still looks gnarly. It can be repaired by fat grafting done by an expert over two or three sessions. I’ve had good results with most. Poor Tara. Her doctors should be ridiculed, not her!”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell J Aston says, “It is most often difficult or impossible to totally correct irregularities caused by liposuction. There are various techniques that can be used to bring about an improvement.”

In the past Tara has said she wouldn’t pose for Playboy, saying, ““I know there are problems with my stomach. There are bumps on it, it’s uneven, but it’s not that bad. My stomach scars are my battle wounds.”

While it is nice that Tara seems to have adjusted to her post-surgery body, it is likely that Playboy will have to use Photoshop and computer imaging techniques to restore the beauty to her former American Pie glory.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “Tara Reid unfortunately has a bad result from overaggressive liposuction. I see many people each month who have been to other (and often unqualified non-plastic surgeons) people who performed their liposuction. It is very difficult to surgically correct these deficiencies, so airbrushing will likely be needed for the Playboy photos. However, micro fat grafting and sometimes additional surgery, we are able to make significant improvements.”

Make Me Heal wishes Tara the best and hope she finally makes peace with her body before she becomes an even bigger victim of Hollywood’s obsession with plastic surgery.

41-year old Kelly Bensimon is not shy about voicing her opinions or her plastic surgery on the popular reality show Real Housewives of New York City. But Make Me Heal wonders what the mother of two will reveal in men’s magazine Playboy.

Kelly Bensimon’s personal life seems as filled with drama as her chest is filled with breast implants. Many bloggers have noted the bolted on appearance of Kelly’s breast implants, which are quite far away from each other, unlike natural appearing breasts.

New York plastic surgeon Dr David Shafer says, “Kelly Bensimon unfortunately looks like she has developed capsular contracture around her breast implants - leading to the asymmetric and “stuck-on” look. It also appears that her implants were not put under her muscle which would have provided an extra layer of tissue coverage. I am interested to see Playboy’s airbrushed results.”

Kelly’s career in front of the camera began as model and it seems that she has kept her thin frame, which is great in light of having two children. Her weight loss may have been aided by some weight-loss surgery like liposuction, which is apparent in the unusual shape of her belly-button, but that could also be a result of pregnancy.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr Jennifer Walden says, “Kelly Bensimon always keeps it interesting on the hit reality show The Real Housewives of New York City. It appears that Kelly went under the knife for breast augmentation, and may have implants that are a bit large for her frame resulting in a stretched look to the skin and noticeable line of the implant shape in the upper part of the breast. It also appears that Kelly may have had liposuction or body sculpting to her abdomen and flanks. Kelly is a beautiful woman and if she decides to pose for Playboy then I think she should withhold going under the knife again and just rely on great styling for her shoot.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California says, “Kelly Bensimon may have had some Botox. I would not change anything with her face, as it may appear unnatural.  She looks great as is, and may not benefit form additional work.”

Kelly is clearly a great looking woman or she would not have been chosen to appear in Playboy and Make Me Heal looks forward to seeing the spread.

Whether you prefer him as Rocky or Rambo, Sylvester Stallone has never been afraid of a fight and it looks like he’s not afraid of the knife either, undergoing various plastic surgery procedures over the years. Sly debuted his latest look at the Venice Film Festival.

63-year old Sly showed up at the Venice Film Festival looking dapper in a pin-striped suit and fresh from the plastic surgeon’s office. He was even spotted sporting scars on his forehead indicating a recent browlift.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “The pictures of Sylvester Stallone show signs of face and forehead lift - including visible scars. His brows also show an unnatural peak and skin bunching laterally. He does look improved from previous post-op photos, presumably the improvement has come as the swelling has resolved and the tissues have softened.”

This clearly wasn’t the fit actor’s first trip under the knife, as in the past, he has not only used injectable wrinkle-fighter Botox, but also has had a facelift and possible blepharoplasty surgeries to help show off his dark brown eyes. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Sylvester Stallone’s Botox). His skin may also be benefiting from chemical peels from time to time to help maintain his youthful looks.

On his blog a while back, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn reports, “I noticed on the interview that he had a nice, sharp jawline, which is pretty uncommon for a 61 year old man. This could be a sign of a facelift. Other than that, his eyelids show remarkably little aging in the photos above. This may be a sign of well-done blepharoplasty surgeries. He also appears to take good care of this skin, possibly with chemical peels and medical grade skin care. It’s also possible that some of his “nutritional” supplements may affect the way he looks, although I wouldn’t be able to comment much on that.”

More recently, Dr. Youn blogged, “Interesting photos on Dlisted.com show what appears to be open browlift scars on Sylvester Stallone. In this close-up picture you can see the scar extending along the hairline, very consistent with what you might find with an open hairline browlift. Plus, his eyebrows are over-arched in the photos, a possible consequence of Botox (or Dysport).”

“I haven’t performed an open browlift in over five years. Although many fantastic surgeons use this procedure, I have never seen a hairline browlift scar I liked. For this reason, I perform almost exclusively the Endotine Endoscopic Browlift. Scars are much shorter with less risk of numbness and chronic pain. The results may be less permanent and predictable than with an open browlift, however.”

“Sly better watch out. He’s starting to resemble Burt Reynolds…”

Sly may not look 63, but he is starting to look as bizarre as his mother, Jackie, another notorious case of bad plastic surgery. Jackie has had so much work over the years that we shudder to contemplate the number of facelifts and fillers that have gone into making the 88-year old woman look ageless.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said, “Sylvester Stallone’s mom may have had facelift, combined with browlift, and various fillers injected around her face. This is mainly evident in her lips, which show a little bit more pout than they normally would. She may have gone a tad too far trying to halt the aging process. She is a naturally pretty woman, and it may have worked to her advantage to back down on the surgery a bit.”

His borderline bizarre looks aside; Make Me Heal enjoys Sly’s action-packed films and looks forward to seeing the next installment of Rambo on the big screen.

Kitty Madison is a Dutch woman who was not only born the wrong the gender but the wrong species as well. To correct the problem, she has spent money on plastic surgery and devices that allow her to live life as mermaid-like as possible.

According to an article in Vice magazine, Kitty-Madison explains that her dreams of being a mermaid began when she was 15 and saw the movie Splash, starring Daryl Hannah. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Daryl Hannah’s plastic surgery).

Kitty-Madison says:

“I was born as a boy. It’s a fact that I’m in the wrong skin. But the fact that I wanted to become a mermaid has just enforced my feminine side. I’ve got tattoos on my arms because I tried to live like a man for a long time. In the end there was only one solution, become a woman or end it all.”

“After I saw the movie I just had one dream: To try and live my life like a mermaid. I just couldn’t let go. Despite all the people who criticized me and didn’t believe in my perseverance, strength, and love for mermaids, I still carried on. I tried to live out the myth as much as possible. And diving with compressed air just isn’t an option, so I learned how to free dive. This meant that I could stay underwater for long times without oxygen tanks. And of course I needed a tail. My first one I made from an old legging and fins. I kept on trying different techniques to improve my tail. But some wore out really fast and others couldn’t take the chlorine. After much experimenting, I met a guy at a diving convention who makes custom diving suits. He made my first mono-fin. Later, when I became Kitty-Madison, I bought the same tail that Daryl Hannah wore in the movie. Orange with glitters, custom made for me. I immediately felt a lot better. I love the water and by then I could stay under water for several minutes easily. But still something from my dream was missing. I was a male mermaid.”

“The last step to my mermaid existence was a transition. From this moment on my name is Kitty-Madison. My old neighbor was named Kitty and I loved that name so much that I just took it as my own. The mermaid from Splash is called Madison. My dream was almost fulfilled but the preparations for the surgery involved a lot of emotional pain. As a boy I often felt that my gender was wrong, and to top it of I wanted to become a mermaid. When I was a man I feared many times that I wouldn’t be able to achieve my goals, and that was a really painful realization. But after some time I approached a specialized gender team that helps you with the process of becoming a woman. After 30 minutes I realised that it would take too long and that it wouldn’t make me any happier. Besides, I felt that they wouldn’t understand my dream of becoming a mermaid. My life was hanging by a thread, I didn’t want to continue living this way.”

“After this difficult period in my life I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found my own gender-psychologist and after only four weeks I got the go-ahead. They put me on hormones, which made me tired and restless. I couldn’t even be a mermaid for a while. I never had any real physical pain, but the emotional pain is still very deep from when I was a boy and to this day. I lost a lot of people around me in that stage of transition. But I guess they aren’t real friends. To this day I still get hateful comments from strangers on my blogs.”

“Living as a mermaid requires huge financial sacrifices. But I don’t mind spending money on things that I truly want. I keep my tail in a fire-safe room. It’s my most valuable possession. Not just financially but also emotionally. And I had to buy more stuff to make my dream come true. A real mermaid can see underwater and never gets water up her nose, so I needed to find solutions for those problems. I bought special lenses without corrective strength, about an inch in diameter, so the water can’t get into my eyes. And I’ve got a tom nose, the same silicone plugs that they use in synchronised swimming. You just put them up your nose and nobody can tell you’re wearing them.”

“Now I’m a happy person. I ride my bike, I swim, and I take yoga to keep fit for my life as a mermaid. I’m in the pool four, five times a week. The first time I dove into the pool with my fin I had some very mixed emotions. Go for it, it’s your dream, isn’t it? But on the other hand, what if I drown. But now I’m so experienced in swimming that I’ve started my own company. I give workshops to teach people how to swim like a mermaid and you can book me for a show. I’m not making any money off my business but it suits me. If I could make real money with this I would never want to work again. I feel so much love for life as a mermaid that I would give up my real life. I’m glad that nobody made me choose between me lives. I really love my boyfriend, but if he tries to make me give up my life as a mermaid, I would choose life as Kitty-Madison the mermaid.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “If this story is true, I am not quite sure what procedure would be required. The tail is obviously prosthetic and removable.”

Other famous transgendered individuals include Chaz Bono who may or may not undergo surgery to complete his transformation (See Make Me Heal’s story on Chaz Bono’s plastic surgery).

Kitty-Madison is certainly a bizarre story of plastic surgery and Make Me Heal hopes her tail (sorry) has a happy ending like the Disney version of The Little Mermaid.

65-year old Gary Busey’s personal life has made him nearly as famous as his on-screen antics. From arrests to motorcycle accidents, Gary’s active lifestyle has taken a toll on his face that plastic surgery did very little to correct.

While some have speculated that Gary’s uneven eyes are the result of a botched facelift or eyelid surgery, Make Me Heal believes it is more likely that they are a consequence of the motorcycle accident Gary experienced.

On his blog, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn explains:

“I understand that Gary Busey was in a terrible motorcycle accident some time ago, which caused significant brain damage and possibly also facial bone fractures. The head injury could explain his extra-friendly behavior to Jennifer Garner on the red carpet of the Oscars, and an orbit fracture can explain the asymmetry in his eyes. He may have a condition of his left eye called orbital dystopia, which occurs when the floor of the eye socket is fractured, causing the eyeball to migrate downward. It is frequently combined with enopthalmos, where the eyeball becomes sunken in due to similar factors. It can be improved via facial recontruction surgery, often using bone from his skull or a titanium plate to remake the floor of his eye socket.”

While Gary’s eyes certainly give him a jarring appearance, part of his plasticized look come from his apparent dental veneers.

Plastic surgeon Dr Sherrell J Aston says, “It does appear that Mr. Busey has had dental veneers. They may be a little bit large in some people’s judgment.”

Ocbody.com Surgeon John Di Saia MD says, “I think he had them a while ago. They seem too large. Maybe he had them redone.”

While straight, white teeth are often taken as a sign of youth, when they are too perfect they can end up looking like false teeth and actually age a person, as in the case of young Ali Lohan(See Make Me Heal’s story on Ali Lohan’s dental veneers).

New York plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “It certainly looks like Gary Busey has dental veneers. Veneers can often look strange if they are too perfect.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said, “It is likely that Gary Busey had veneers. Veneers can look like perfect teeth, which are evident on Gary.”

His odd looks and behavior problems aside; Gary is still a talented actor. You can see the Oscar-nominated actor next in Brian DePalma’s upcoming film Down and Distance.

While many celebrities enhance their looks with plastic surgery, some people become celebrities because of their plastic surgery. British born artist Nileen Namita is one such case.

Over 20 years ago, Nileen Namita decided that in a past life she was Queen Nefertiti, Queen of the Nile. Since then, she has spent more than $325,000 and undergone 51 cosmetic procedures to turn her into a living replica of an ancient Egyptian sculpture of the famous queen.

The 49-year old mother of three has thus far undergone eight nose jobs, three chin implants, one eyebrow lift, three facelifts, six mini facelifts, two lip surgeries, five eye surgeries and 20 other minor procedures.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “Nileen Namita is the perfect example of what happens when you have had way too much plastic surgery.  There is a difference between trying to enhance your own features and trying to look like someone else.  Now she doesn’t even look like a real person.”

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Nileen explains her transformation, which began in 1987, “Throughout my childhood and teen years I had constant vivid dreams of this ancient queen.”

‘They were visions of incredible intensity - I could see where she lived, her servants, her rooms, even the food she ate - and although at first I found the dreams frightening, I began to research what they meant.”

“Aged 23 I underwent psychoanalysis with a counselor. Slowly I began to realize that I was having these dreams because I am a reincarnation of Nefertiti.”

“A few weeks later I saw a picture of Nefertiti for the first time and I was struck by how familiar it was.”

“I know some people will find it hard to understand why I have put myself through so much surgery, but by then the visions had become even more powerful, I decided to remodel my face so I looked like a modern version of Nefertiti.”

“It was a way of allowing that part of my personality to show itself.”

The twice married and divorced woman began her procedures with a nose job. Nileen is happy with the appearance her numerous surgeries have given her thus far, saying, “I am fortunate in that I have good genes. I don’t have any cellulite and have never had to diet but because I didn’t want to look unnatural with an older body and a younger face, I do eat very healthily.”

“No one believes I am almost 50 years old and have had three children because my body and face look as through I am only 25.”

“Now when I go out, I gain attention from men much younger than me - often they are in their twenties - because I look so youthful.”

“I am sure some people will disapprove of me having so many operations but I believe my look is ageless and timeless. Seeing myself looking so much younger makes me feel young and energetic.”

According to Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California, “Nileen has had a great deal of surgery. At this point, talking about safety is a tough issue because all surgeries have risks and the more you do to a given area the more scar tissue that develops, and the harder it is to get close to the desired result. It is never a great idea to go into surgery as many times as she did. She is definitely closer to getting the Egyptian queen look she desired, but created an artificial appearance in the process.”

“You cannot get much more overdone than that, and there are ways to resemble an Egyptian queen other than undergoing surgery that many times. Her lips are overly pouty, and face looks expressionless at this point, with way too many tucks and fillers.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell J Aston says, “I do not think Ms. Namita has reached her goal, she does not look natural and in my opinion she should not have any further plastic surgery.”

While she is pleased with her appearance and claims her children are also proud of her looks, Nileen still has plans for future tweaks.

She says, “I would like my lips to be made a little finer and plan to have some more surgery on my nose to even out my nostrils.”

While Make Me Heal is glad Nileen is so pleased with herself, she appears to look a little too sculpture-like and not quite human enough, a common consequence of too much plastic surgery.

British actor Rupert Everett was once a handsome leading man. But then plastic surgery rumors began circulating and the public began seeing a lot less of him. Pop singer Dannii Minogue was once a popular singer. But then fans of talent contest X-Factor began to notice how plastic she looked and she has since made tabloids more for her appearance than her opinion. Now both Rupert and Dannii have addressed the comments.

37-year old Dannii has had quite a lot of plastic surgery to transform herself into the glamorous judge on the hit UK show X-Factor. In the past, she has been rumored to have had a breast augmentation, nose job and lip augmentation (See Make Me Heal’s story on Dannii Minogue’s plastic surgery). Now, she has begun to address her appearance, admitting that she has gone overboard on the Botox and has stopped having the wrinkle-fighting injections.

Dannii says, “I see the comments. Plastic. All Botox. I can see what people see, but I have to say that - while I have been open about doing it before - I’m not doing it now.”

“For ‘The X Factor’ it is actually quite useful to be able to have facial expressions! There is so much more pressure on women. If you can get older and be happier within yourself, that’s the main thing.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery says, “Dannii is a stunning lady. Facial plastic surgery and injectibles are a personal choice. She may not need Botox now but she may change her mind with time.”

New York plastic surgeon Dr David Shafer says, “It is hard to tell whether Dannii Minoque has stopped Botox for sure. Needless to say, if she has, we will all know in 3 to 6 months as the last injections wear off.”

At 50, Rupert Everett has already made countless lists of bad plastic surgery, including Make Me Heal’s (See Make Me Heal’s story on bad male plastic surgery).

Rupert is rumored to have undergone multiple facial surgeries, including eyelifts, facelifts and overuse of injectables. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Rupert Everett’s plastic surgery).

Dr .Shafer says, “Rupert Everett appears as though he has had changes from previous pictures to his cheeks, lips and chin. This can all be achieved with injections. Sometimes people do not consider injections ‘plastic surgery’ but still take on a plastic look. Either way, nothing can be said for certain from the pictures.”

In an interview with Britain’s Daily Mail, “Come on, look for yourself. You won’t find any marks or scars. I have not had a facelift. Do you see marks of any kind?”

Dr. Nassif says, “He may not have scars behind his ears but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had anything done. It looks like he’s used some botox to the sides of his forehead. His eyes are bigger than they previously were suggesting upper and lower blepharoplasties to open up his peepers. He does look like he’s had a nose job. If you look closely, the nose is more triangular shaped from the top to the base, unlike previous sightings. Furthermore, his nose is thinner that it was and the tip is narrower. His chin is also a bit broader and softer in appearance than it was before, suggesting a chin implant.”

However, Rupert didn’t rule out plastic surgery in the future. When asked, he said, “Why not? But all these things are better for girls because a man’s forehead that doesn’t move is too big. For girls, if they have hair over it, it’s all right, but for guys it’s not really a thing that works particularly well.”

“Yes, those images went all the way round the world and at one point I even lost a job from a great Australian director because of him seeing the before and after images in a newspaper. You can protest as much as you like, but they just doctor the photos.”

Make Me Heal remains unconvinced that Rupert is entirely procedure free, but is glad that Dannii understands where she went wrong and cuts down on plastic surgery and Botox in the future.

Joan Rivers is a comedy legend. But how funny would she be without the help of plastic surgery?

At 76, Joan has always been open about her plastic surgery, making fun of her plasticized appearance just as much as the next comedian, and doing a better job of it. In celebration of her recent roast on Comedy Central, Make Me Heal takes a look at the multitude of procedures that Joan has undergone.

Joan’s first cosmetic surgery was reportedly an eyelid lift back in 1965 when the comedian was 32.While an eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty can be done to help correct vision impairment, Joan’s first procedure was likely cosmetic and her gateway to numerous other plastic surgeries.

Even before her initial cosmetic procedure, Joan has joked about being insecure about her looks and has gone on to also have her nose thinned, facelifts, a brow lift, cheek lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), Botox injections, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and other procedures.

Joan’s ethnic background may have made her self-concsious about the size of her nose, leading her to have a rhinoplasty to help make it appear thinner and less obtrusive.

While many women have a facelift in their late 40s or 50s, Joan has had numerous facelifts, giving her a very pulled and unnatural appearance. Her eyes look like they are pulled nearly closed and also having had a browlift, to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and sagging eyelids, helps give her eyes a very uncomfortable look.

In addition to having an overload of plastic surgery on her face, including a cheek lift and or implants, Joan has also had cosmetic procedures below the neck as well, in the form of a breast augmentation.

While Joan never shows too much cleavage for a woman of her advanced years, she is proud of her breast implants, joking about them as much as her other procedures. In the past, she reportedly had her breasts reduced after giving birth to her daughter Melissa, another fan of plastic surgery.

New York plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “Joan Rivers looks great for her age. She certainly is not shy about plastic surgery and has an operated look. However, she knows how to work it.”

Unlike many celebrities, who keep their surgeries and their surgeons private, it is common knowledge that many of Joan’s cosmetic procedures were performed by Santa Monica surgeon Steven Hoefflin.

In between surgeries, Joan reportedly gets Botox and collagen injections every four months from New York City dermatologist Patricia Wexler.

While many think that Joan is addicted to plastic surgery, which certainly seems likely, Joan claims she is happy with the results of her procedures and doesn’t seem to have any intention of stopping them any time soon.

Whether she’s mocking her own looks or her own personal tragedy, Joan has a great sense of humor when it comes to herself. Make Me Heal looks forward to her new reality show, How’d You Get So Rich?
