Tara Reid’s road to fame began with promise, but the last few years have not been kind to Tara. She has been the victim of several botched plastic surgeries, including breast augmentations and lipo, and after having her distorted body flaunted on the covers of countless tabloids, her body has become more famous than her acting career.

After being photographed in a teeny-weeny, black and white striped bikini while on a recent trip to Australia last December, Tara Reid was once more in the limelight as the world got a look at her rippled tummy and distorted breasts, the disastrous results of a poorly executed abdominal liposuction.

Make Me Heal has also featured Tara Reid’s past traumas, but now, turns the page to look into how Tara Reid can correct the damage. Dr. David Amron, a Beverly Hills-based liposuction expert who only performs liposuction at his practice, believes that Reid can look as good as she had hoped for when she first went under the knife. Dr. Amron gives Make Me Heal an exclusive and detailed account at not only where previous plastic surgeries have gone wrong, but also what he would do to revise Tara Reid’s lumpy tummy and give it a smoother, more natural appearance.

First, Dr. Amron tells Make Me Heal which surgical procedures he thinks Tara Reid has had and what might have gone wrong. “From reviewing the photos, I feel that Tara Reid has had liposuction of at least her abdomen. From what I can see, she is a fairly young woman with quite good skin tone, but there is a lot of unevenness in her abdomen that does not typically occur naturally. This type of unevenness most likely is occurring because [of] fibrotic tissue, or scar tissue, within the fat layer that has been created in an uneven way, along with uneven removal of the fat.”

He continues, “In this case, it looks as if the surgeon may have been overly aggressive and caused scar tissue. Some areas of the abdomen may have been thinned out too much, that’s why you get that wrinkly appearance that looks like older skin. If this is what has happened, it’s a good example of why it is important to not be overly aggressive during liposuction. Even though many patients want as much fat removed as possible, you have to temper or balance how aggressive you are being with someone’s skin tone to get the best result. Unfortunately, I commonly see this type of result sent to me for revision liposuction work. This is why I strongly feel it is important to try to get the results right the first time. It is a difficult irregularity to revise, but I have had a lot of success with my approach.”

“From what it looks like from the photos, Tara’s irregularities are primarily occurring because there are some areas that were done overly aggressively and other areas that were not done well enough. Additionally, there is a lot of uneven skin retraction because the surgeon has most likely jabbed or poked the skin from underneath. This irritates the dermis causing uneven pull back of skin.”

Tara Reid’s upside-down looking navel apparently is another tell-tale sign of the liposuction. “It looks as if the surgeon that did this caused uneven pull back of the skin, where more of the skin in the area is pulling down and causing the belly button to turn downwards,” adds Amron.

Ordinarily, Dr. Amron says he would use fat transfers from other parts of the patient’s body to fill in the deeper indentations in her tummy. But because Tara is too thin for that, an alternative approach of using Thermage for skin tightening is recommended.

“This is commonly where I do feel that Thermage can make an additional improvement after liposuction. A few weeks or months after [surgery], I go ahead and make things smoother with the revision liposuction procedure, I might recommend doing a Thermage treatment for additional skin tightening. In my experience, I usually can make a great improvement in almost all the patients like this.”

Dr. Amron is confident that a significant improvement can be in sight for Tara Reid should she undertake his recommendations.

“If the revision liposuction is approached right, I have never seen the area get worse and almost always there is significant improvement. But, this is an example of why it is so important to get this right the first time. The type of liposuction result that is easy to improve is asymmetry. But, when you see this degree of irregularity [with Tara Reid], it is a more difficult revision case than just removing more fat or correcting asymmetry.”

If Tara Reid takes up Dr. Amron on his recommendations, it wouldn’t be the first time she would undergo corrective plastic surgery. After inadvertently exposing her oddly shaped areolas on a red carpet, Tara has said she had her breast implants replaced and corrected.

Dr. Amron’s dedication to helping people look their best is an inspiration for all who have suffered a botched plastic surgery. His concentrated and detailed critique and solutions for the young actress’ liposuction and visible scarring gives hope that Tara Reid will once again be the beauty that charmed audiences in American Pie.
