Australia's Top Model Causes Controversy with Lip Enhancement
|
When we talk about the ues of dermal fillers, we're usually talking about their use by older women who are seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the face. However, there is another common purpose for these products which may be used by younger people. That is for the purpose of plumping up the lips.
The procedure is considered to be no big deal in comparison to the range of different cosmetic procedures that are out there. It's something which is done by a fairly large percentage of young women, especially those in Hollywood. However, it caused a lot of controversy in Australia when it was discovered that one of the models from Top Model there had gotten the procedure done several times.
Alex Girdwood is twenty years old and she's got all of the beauty that a model could seek. But, just like every other person out there, she had flaws that she wanted fixed. She had thin lips that she desired to be plumper. Not content to use lip-plumping lipsticks for a temporary boost, she got collagen injections in her lips.
Read here about the controversy that followed.

Are Celebrity Bad Plastic Surgery Images Haunting Your Dreams?
|
You made an appointment with your local plastic surgeon. You got the information that you wanted about the procedure or procedures that you're interested in having done. You now know what Botox, Restylane and Sculptra can do for you. You know the pros and cons of the chemical peel. You understand the risks involved in lip enhancement. And after weighing out all of the options and their potential costs, you've determined that plastic surgery is right for you.
But then you lay down to go to sleep at night before you actually get the plastic surgery done and you discover that your mind is haunted by images of celebrity bad plastic surgery. We see those images all the time. Even those of us that aren't Hollywood gossip-hounds can't help but glance at the bad photos of cosmetic surgery gone wrong that grace the pages of tabloids that we see in line at the supermarket. And if the stars are paying top dollar for great surgeons to do their face work, what does that mean could happen to us?
The best thing to do if you're feeling concerned about the risks of plastic surgery is to get yourself fully informed about what you're getting into. There are a wide range of risks and benefits to plastic surgery procedures of all kinds. If you're having doubts, it could mean that you're just not ready for the work. Before you jump in, make another appointment with your doctor to go over your concerns. Chances are that obtaining additional information will help those horror tales about celebrity surgery drift away into the night.
