Is Ali Larter Obsessed with Plastic Surgery?

Posted on November 20th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Erica Hurtz

Ali Larter has come a long way since she was the ditz sporting a whipped cream bikini in Varsity Blues. But Make Me Heal wonders how much of her success does she owe to plastic surgery?

At 33, Ali Larter has made a name for herself, appearing in films and currently starring in the hit television show Heroes. While many actresses have used plastic surgery, including minor nose jobs, to climb their way up the Hollywood ladder of success, Ali appears to have achieved fame with natural good looks, unaided by invasive plastic surgery.

Ali Later, Plastic Surgery

Ali is at an age when many Hollywood actresses have begun to have anti-aging procedures and it appears the blonde Heroes star is no exception, undergoing Botox injections in her forehead and possibly using fillers like Juvederm and Restylane to fill in other fine lines and wrinkles, like nasolabial folds around the mouth.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surger, says, “Ali Larter is a naturally beautiful woman and does not appear to have had any work done to her face.  There is the possibility of Botox and a few fillers here and there, but overall her look is her own and she has a great set of genetics. “

Use of Botox is likely what keeps Ali’s forehead so smooth and shiny.

On his blog, plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn says, “She has thin lips which don’t look unnaturally augmented. Maybe some Botox in her forehead?”

Botox injections seem to be working, as Ali is regularly listed as being one of the hottest women in the world in various men’s magazines, year after year.

Maureen’s Plastic Surgery Makeover Leads To Flatlands

Posted on November 20th, 2009 in Personal Interviews by Makemeheal.com Staff

Sad of looking “forever pregnant”, Maureen (who goes by Makemeheal.com username Mojo1) decided she was ready for her journey to Flatlands by having a tummy tuck for the extra fat and skin she had post-pregnancies. Native of Windhoek, Namibia (South-western part of Africa), Mojo1 selected a well-known female, board-certified surgeon in practice for over 10 years to conduct her abdominoplasty.

See Mojo1 Before & After Plastic Surgery Pictures Album

While preparing for her tummy tuck, Mojo1 used the Makemeheal.com message boards for support and information about the procedures and various products that everyone needs to heal better and faster.

Though recovery was not easy, Mojo1 had her husband and kids by her side to help her. Today, Mojo1 is a bubbly and happy woman who is more confident and excited to finally be able to wear fitting tops and shirts that get her lots of compliments.

The advice she’d like to share with everyone who is considering this procedure: “You have to be well prepared and ready mentally, emotionally and physically. Don’t compare yourself with others and have realistic expectations. Lose excess weight before your surgery for best results and follow your doctor’s orders carefully.”

Please join us below for an interview with Mojo1:

MakeMeHeal.com: When did you first have the idea to have your procedure(s)?

Mojo1: When I saw the Extreme Make over programs on TV and how good these ladies looked afterward.

MakeMeHeal.com: What were your motivations behind your decision to have the procedure(s)?

Mojo1: I had constant back pain and rashes due to my large breast. My tummy was just in my way during exercise and I could not wear nice form fitting tops and shirts. I looked forever pregnant.

MakeMeHeal.com: How long did it take you to make a decision and was it an easy or difficult one to make?

Mojo1: Not long and it was not difficult, it was just a matter of financing the procedures. My DH who is so selfless and generous paid for both procedures. I would do it again in a “wink”, the best investment I have ever made.

MakeMeHeal.com: Did your family, friends, and any other people in your close circle give you support, opposition, or did you make this decision without considering them?

Mojo1: My DH and kids knew about that and supported me but I have not told any family members or friends. I like it to keep it that way for now.

MakeMeHeal.com: How did you research the procedure(s) and come to decide on this particular procedure(s)?

Mojo1: I researched most online and by word of mouth. A friend of mine had a breast reduction surgery about 13 years ago and I saw the results and comfort of not having big, saggy boobs hanging on the tummy. That motivated me to have the surgery.

Make Me Heal’s resources definitely helped and prepared me beyond my tummy tuck. Still an active member and the ladies on the message boards are just so WONDERFUL, always helpful and full of advise. I don’t think I would have pulled it off without the MMH site.

MakeMeHeal.com: How did you come to choose your doctor?

Mojo1: I am from Windhoek, Namibia (South-western part of Africa), a relatively small country and we only have one board certified plastic surgeon who is very well-known (female) and in practice for the past 10+ years. My friend who had a breast reduction some 13 years ago had a plastic surgeon from the neighboring South Africa who use to fly in once (for a week) every month to do surgery and for consultations, but he has since retired. I had 2 consultations for each of my procedures and was a very good candidate for my procedures.

MakeMeHeal.com: Please discuss if you have any role in deciding the type of technique used for your surgery by the doctor, incision placements, implant brand, anesthesia type, etc.

Mojo1: From the very beginning, she informed me what she normally does, what she does not prefer and the best way for the best results. I was well informed by my surgeon and she even drew some sketches to show me how she was going to do and the best part, before and after pictures. She didn’t mark me up as I saw on TV except for my BR surgery.

MakeMeHeal.com: How did you prepare for the surgery?

Mojo1: I told my boss that I had to go in for a hernia repair surgery and he was very understanding and encouraging and that I could be off for up to 6 weeks. I bought all the products mentioned on the MMH site like antibacterial wipes and soap, etc. My kids were on school holiday (have a 21 year old who is a 3rd year University student, she and her father took care of me (like cooking for the family, helping to put my binder on, etc.). My 13 year old boy was always by my side, getting me my meds and refilling my water bottles and taking pictures of my progress. He is a real mommy’s boy and still reminds me to rub-in Bio-oil on my scar.

MakeMeHeal.com: How were you feeling the night before the surgery and on the moments before the surgery itself?

Mojo1: Oh gosh, that was really hard. I was so nervous and tense, I had these weird thoughts of not waking up from anesthesia, dying and the news would hit the local newspapers and my friends and family would find out (lol) and leaving my kids all alone with DH. I prayed every night that the Lord would guide the hands of my PS and Anesthesiologist for a successful surgery, recovery and healing and my prayers were not in vain. Thank you Lord for that!

MakeMeHeal.com: How was the recovery process?

Mojo1: My recovery was quite good. The only side effect I had with my BR surgery was the intense pain (fire) when I woke up and the nausea, could not eat for 2 days. With my tummy tuck surgery, I also had the intense pain at my incision (like a burning fire) but after taking pain meds, no pain afterwards and no nausea this time around. I didn’t feel hungry at all and didn’t eat for almost 3 days post surgery (had the occasional grape or two, a bite or two from an apple, a tablespoon of yogurt) and lots of water. My DH and kids help me lot during recovery since they were on school holidays for a month.

MakeMeHeal.com: Please discuss the pain or discomfort you experienced during the recovery?

Mojo1: The only pain I experienced after both my surgeries was the pain (like my incisions were on fire). With the TT surgery, my back “killed” me for walking hunched over and sleeping only in one position for the first 5 days. After day 5 I tried lying on my sides with pillows propped-up and it was heaven.

MakeMeHeal.com: How well prepared were you for the recovery from physical, emotional, and mental respects?

Mojo1: I was so well prepared and Oh Yes, all the credit goes to the MMH Message Boards. The ladies were very encouraging, helpful and best of all shared their experiences and advise with me. BIG THUMBS UP FOR MMH MESSAGE BOARDS!!!

MakeMeHeal.com: What are your top recovery tips to other patients?

Mojo1: Rest and take it easy and follow your PS orders and advise. I moved around a lot in week 2 (went to town and did shopping) and swelled-up badly with a little bit of “necrosis” at my incision which has since healed up nicely.

MakeMeHeal.com: How long did you take off from work? What did you tell your co-workers about taking this time off? Did anyone notice your cosmetic procedures at work and what did you tell them if they asked about it?

Mojo1: I was booked off for a month. My told my co-workers beforehand that I was going in for major hernia repair. They noticed my flat tummy and was asking question, I just showed them my binder and said doctors orders to wear it for as long as I want. Some say I lost a lot of weight and look very good. I never told them about my procedure and it will stay that way.

MakeMeHeal.com: How happy are you with the results?

Mojo1: I am so THRILLED with my results. The best investment ever!!

MakeMeHeal.com: How has your makeover impacted your life from personal, social, career, and other respects?

Mojo1: I was always a confident and bubbly person before my surgery but now I don’t have to hide my tummy under big loose clothes. I now like form fitting tops and shirts and get a lot of compliments which even boost my confidence more.

MakeMeHeal.com: Would you have done anything differently if you had the chance?

Mojo1: Not at all except for resting more.

MakeMeHeal.com: What is your final word of advice to other people considering the procedure(s) you had?

Mojo1: You have to be well prepared and ready mentally, emotionally and physically. Don’t compare yourself with others and have realistic expectations. Lose excess weight before your surgery for best results and follow your doctor’s orders carefully. The best thing about this surgery was that I quit smoking, have not had a “siggie” in 2 months and didn’t have any cravings and withdrawal symptoms. HOORAY!!! Last but not least, MMH message boards was so good to me during my recovery process and made it a lot easier for me.

MakeMeHeal.com: Was Make Me Heal beneficial to you along your journey?

Mojo1: OH DEFINITELY!! And it is still, I recommend it to anyone intending having surgery. Make Me Heal is the best!!!

DIY Plastic Surgery

By Dr John Saia MD

Times are tough and money is tight. Budgets for cosmetic surgery and even reconstructive plastic surgery are down. Women are actually choosing not to have reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. People were trying things out for themselves before the economy tanked. They just seem to be pushing it a bit harder these days. Is DIY plastic surgery really dangerous?

Well it can be. I have posted at my Cosmetic Surgery Truth blog about such stories. The most recent was a silicone injection nightmare. Liquid silicone is not even used by licensed plastic surgeons, but DIY types think of it as a permanent filler. When injected into the face it tends to become infected and “scars in” like hardening plaster. It cannot be removed with a needle but usually requires surgery to cut it out. Stay away from liquid silicone injections.

Botox, Pic, Plastic Surgery

I review cases of proposed negligence for the California Medical Board and have seen fake Botulinum toxin injections that were of animal grade product. On the internet you can see cases in new stories of people in salons injecting all kinds of things into people.  When you go to a qualified plastic surgeon you pay for professional grade advice and quality medical care. You can go elsewhere but you are accepting risk in doing so.

What can you do by yourself? I would recommend only over the counter strength facial peels. No injections. No surgery. A few years ago, I saw a woman who had obtained a doctor’s office strength facial peel and applied it herself. She came into the office a week later crying “help” with a face that looked like it had been hit with sandpaper. I had her sign an agreement that I was not responsible for her results and could not promise her anything. She turned out OK considering, but many others will not.

When you choose to self-inject Botox or a filler like Restylane, you first have to know what you have materials wise. Many people don’t know the difference between safe and unsafe products (like liquid silicone) and get themselves into trouble. Then you have to know how to do it. Doctors and nurses are probably better equipped to do this and some do self-treat themselves. For others you are accepting more risk and I can’t recommend that.

Marie Osmond A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Plastic Surgery

Posted on November 19th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Dana Jackson

Marie Osmond may still be best known for being part of the corny song singing Osmond family, but recently she’s developed a look that’s all her own, thanks to some plastic surgery.

Marie Osmond is one of Hollywood’s busiest women. At 50, she has accomplished more than a lifetime’s worth of work, singing and acting since childhood, two divorces, having seven kids, and filling in with writing numerous books, product endorsements and guest appearances, as in one season of Dancing with the Stars. With all that work, you’d think it would take a toll on Marie’s appearance. But because Marie doesn’t show as much as a frownline of fatigue or wrinkle of age, plastic surgery is likely at play with the doll lover’s appearance.

Marie Osmond, Plastic Surgery

Despite her hectic schedule, Marie seems to have found time between activities to visit a plastic surgeon for multiple procedures. Sometime in her earlier years, Marie may have had a rhinoplasty to help narrow the tip of her nose, or she may have become more skilled at applying flattering make-up.

More recently, to ward off signs of aging, it looks like Marie has undergone a facelift, in addition to a browlift which raised her eyebrows to a high arch. She also likely fills in between major surgeries with dermal fillers and Botox injections.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., says, “Marie Osmond appears to have had a browlift, as her brows are arched up quite a bit. A facelift is a good possibility as well, and facial fillers and Botox are very likely as there are not many lines present on her face.”

Marie seems to be maintaining her busy lifestyle, starring with Donny in a Vegas revue and appearing with the Osmond family, so Make Me Heal looks forward to seeing what nips and tucks she’ll under go in the future to maintain her fresh appearance.

How To Achieve Great Ethnic Plastic Surgery Results

Posted on November 18th, 2009 in Ethnic Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgeon Articles & Interviews by Makemeheal.com Staff

By Peyman Solieman, MD & Jason Litner, MD

By all accounts, cosmetic plastic surgery is on the rise in America for ethnic patients. In fact, in 2007, ethnic minorities accounted for 22 percent of the nearly 11.7 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States, an increase of 105 percent from 2000. More specifically, in 2007, Hispanics underwent 1,011,071 procedures (up 153% from 2000) while African-American cosmetic surgeries increased 170%.

Yet, we see a number of ethnic patients every month who tell us they’ve had a hard time finding a surgeon who seems to make a practice of doing “ethnic plastic surgery”. Why?

Well, in our opinions, there are a few reasons for this:

The aesthetic is different. We now know that there is tremendous variation in anatomy among and between ethnicities and an equally wide variation in the desired aesthetic.

When it comes to rhinoplasty, which is by far the most popular facial surgical procedure among ethnic minorities, the nuances of ethnic differences in facial structure and aesthetics require a different type of surgeon: one who moves beyond the “one size fits all model to tailor results.

Ethnic Pic, Plastic Surgery

If a surgeon is not experienced with the nuance of ethnic rhinoplasty, this can be hard to accomplish in a natural-looking way. Which brings us to the final point…

The procedures are different. For a typical rhinoplasty in patients of European ancestry, the focus is usually on making the nose smaller, reducing a bump, etc. and so we trained to remove some tissue in order to accomplish this. Ethnic noses can tend towards thicker skin, softer tip cartilage, weaker septal cartilage, excessive nostril flare, and sometimes lower nasal bridges. For these patients, the emphasis is typically on narrowing and adding to the bridge, refining and supporting the tip, and on specialized procedures such as alar base reduction (nostril narrowing).

Achieving these goals relies heavily on more advanced grafting techniques in order to have thicker skin drape favorably and show the desired degree of refinement. It is critical to build up tip structure in order to provide not only adequate support but also lasting tip shape and definition. At the same time, most of our patients are seeking refinement in the way of a thinner tip that is not over-built and rock hard. So, there is a balance that needs to be struck and a fairly unforgiving line that needs to be walked. Luckily, with the increase in interest from ethnic patients, we are sure to see more and more surgeons interested in achieving fantastic results for them.

Please let us know if you have any more detailed questions related to Ethnic facial surgery. You can ask both the doctors questions directly just by clicking the link:

Katie Price Has More Plastic Surgery Touch Ups

Posted on November 18th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Carrie Zender

Katie Price has become just as famous for her plastic surgery as for her alter ego Jordan. Recently, Katie made one of her trips to Los Angeles for some plastic surgery touch ups.

31-year old Katie Price has been in Los Angeles for a round of facial fillers and Botox injections before she headed back home to the UK for her second appearance on the reality show, I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

Since revealing that she spends big bucks on her appearance and flies to the States to get beautified, including Botox and hair extensions, Katie has caught more flack for her appearance.

Katie Price, Plastic Surgery

On an appearance on late night show Chelsea Lately, Katie says, “I always fly over here to get my Botox done, I’m mad, I love it. Come to LA and everyone has had it done. I always get my hair extensions done here as well. I fly over every three months to get my hair done and Botox. I’m mad aren’t I? Not that I’m high-maintenance or anything.”


According to the British tabloid The Daily Mail, Katie has spent around $80,000 on cosmetic surgery, including
four boob jobs, fillers, collagen and nose job, with another $40,000 on dental work.

If Make Me Heal’s history with Katie is any indication, (See Make Me Heal’s story on Katie Price’s plastic surgery), the mother of three isn’t done having cosmetic surgery yet.

Nicole Kidman Supports Husband with More Plastic Surgery

Posted on November 17th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery, Oscars Plastic Surgery, Award Shows by Lisa Stanfield

Last week at the CMA’s, not only country stars were displaying their plastic surgery, but fans as well. Make Me Heal thinks that no fan showed her support more than Nicole Kidman.

At 42, Nicole Kidman has already shut down years of rumors of plastic surgery, saying her flawless complexion is due to healthy living. But after her somewhat bizarre-looking appearance at the recent Country Music Awards, Nicole should be ready for new waves of plastic surgery rumors, thanks to her pushed up breasts and oversized lips.

Nicole Kidman, Plastic Surgery

While Nicole Kidman has been a notorious Botox user for years, using it to maintain her wrinkle-free, porcelain doll-like visage, it seems she has recently begun using a dermal injectable filler in her lips (See Make Me Heal’s story on Nicole Kidman’s Botox). While accompanying her husband, country star Keith Urban, Nicole’s lips stole the show as they appeared to be much fuller than usual, likely the result of a recent dose of lip filler like Restylane.

Below the neck, Nicole showed off her perfectly porcelain skin, as well as a heathy amount of cleavage. While not overly busty, Nicole’s breasts almost have the stuck on appearance of a breast augmentation gone wrong. Breast implants can develop capsular contracture, which can make them seem too far apart and stuck on. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Nicole Kidman’s Breast Augmentation).

Whether or not she admits it, Nicole Kidman has certainly benefited from plastic surgery, as the Aussie actress can be seen in a string of films, beginning with the musical Nine, due out next month.

Is Cheryl Cole Becoming an International Star with Plastic Surgery?

Posted on November 17th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Lisa Stern

In the UK, Cheryl Cole is a household name. And thanks to her great looks and quirky sense of style, she is becoming a name on the other side of the pond as well. But Make Me Heal wonders how much of Cheryl’s new look is due to an interest in fashion and how much is due to plastic surgery?

At 26, Cheryl has already befriended fashionista and plastic surgery lover Victoria Beckham, and seems to be taking more than just a page from her fashionable friend’s book. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Victoria Beckham’s plastic surgery).

Cheryl Cole, Plastic Surgery

Like the former Posh Spice, Cheryl was once part of the girl pop group, Girls Aloud. She is now married to a British soccer player, Ashley Cole, and spends much of her time and money on her appearance to stay camera ready as a judge on the British talent television show, The X Factor.

Cheryl is estimated to spend well over $300,000 on her appearance and some of that money may go to plastic surgery, including a nose job, breast enhancement procedure and injectables like Botox.

Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr Jennifer Walden says, “Based on photos of the star it appears she underwent breast augmentation as well as a possible rhinoplasty.  In addition to the body work, she may keep her face wrinkle-free with injectables such as Botox.  As far as her lips, there may be dermal filler at work there as well.”

On the other hand, Cheryl may be spending much of her money and creams and potions that help her stay youthful as long as possible and tweaking her appearance with superficial changes, like make-up and hairstyle.


Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California, says, “Cheryl Cole is a naturally beautiful woman. She has undergone a bit of a change over the last few years, but the chance was not due to any surgery to her face.  It looks like a mini-makeover is responsible for any difference in her appearance.  There is the possibility of Botox here and there, but unlikely because she is still very young.”

Cheryl Cole looks great and is sure to become even better known in the States as tabloids continue to chronicle her every outfit change.

Does New TV Series V Showcase Plastic Surgery?

It isn’t the first time V has tried to make an impact on primetime television, but it may the most successful. The same can be said for the stars that Make Me Heal recognizes from series past, but still look great thanks to some plastic surgery.

You might know her name, but you surely know her face as Elizabeth Mitchell has been a second lead in many a movie and television show. At 39, Elizabeth is as lovely as ever, but some minor indications of her facial structure indicate that she may not be an entirely natural beauty.

Elizabeth’s straight nose may be her own, but it is more likely the result of a nose job done before she was a popular actress.

Elizabeth Michell, Plastic Surgery

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said, “There is the possibility Elizabeth Mitchell had some work done to her face.  It appears a bit “stretched” when she smiles, and her nose looks a little bit unnaturally straight, indicating she may have had rhinoplasty at some point in her life.  She does not look overdone, and still fits into her features nicely.”

Playing V’s resident good guy alien is the extremely handsome Morris Chestnut. At 40, Morris is as good looking as ever, and doesn’t seem to have gone under the knife for anything even as minor as Botox.

Morris Chestnut, Plastic Surgery

Dr. Nassif says, “Morris Chestnut’s looks are the result of good genes.  He does not appear to have had any surgery or fillers.”

Probably the best-known name on the new incarnation of V is Scott Wolf, from the hit television series Party of 5, which made him a household name.

Despite now being a middle-aged man, at 41, Scott looks remarkably like his younger self, and yet a little different, indicating he may be using facial fillers and Botox to retain his boyish charm.

Scott Wolf, Plastic Surgery

Dr Nassif says, “Scott Wolf looks very similar to the way he did a number of years ago.  He may have had some Botox, and there is the possibility of fillers for a few lines here and there. Overall his look is natural, and the result of good genetics.”

Canadian import Laura Vandervoot is probably most recognizable to American audiences as Supergirl from the television show Smallville, although she was acting in her native country long before making the trip to Hollywood.

Despite her almost preternaturally good looks, the 25-year old blonde does not seem to have been under the knife for either the nose job or breast augmentation that often come with the transition to Hollywood.

Laura Vandervoot, Plastic Surgery

Dr Nassif says, “Laura Vandervoort is still very young, and a naturally beautiful woman. She does not appear to have had any work done, and her looks are the result of good genetics.”

Make Me Heal finds it interesting that the actors playing “visitors” on V haven’t visited a plastic surgeon, while the humans have dabbled with the cosmetic surgeon’s blade in some form.

Alec Baldwin Says Plastic Surgery is in his Future

Posted on November 16th, 2009 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery, Male Plastic Surgery by Sam Stets

At 51, Alec is the best known of the Baldwin Brothers family of actors, currently starring on the hit television show 30 Rock. While Alec is usually busy in front of the camera, he recently revealed that to remain camera-ready, he is strongly considering under going some improvements, in the form of plastic surgery.

In a recent interviewing promoting Alec’s upcoming film, It’s Complicated, with Meryl Streep (See Make Me Heal’s story on Meryl Streep’s plastic surgery), Alec revealed that while he think he still looks great, there is definite room for improvement and that he will likely have plastic surgery sooner rather than later.

Alec says, “I have a great ass, if I may say so. That’s a part of my body that needs no surgical enhancement or rearranging.”

“I’m not saying I wouldn’t do something! I intend to do something. I probably will. Let’s put it this way: I wouldn’t rule it out because… You don’t think I wake up every day and wish I looked like this and this and this? But I can’t let that bother me.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said, “Alec Baldwin looks like he may benefit from facial fillers, notably around the eyes where lines are evident.  Other than that, I do not see anything he would benefit from.  It may be too early for a facelift, and Alec appears very comfortable in his skin.”
