Heidi Montag - Wants Bigger Implants? BDD? And Crying Botox Face!

Sorry, but another post on annoying Heidi Montag. Star Magazine is reporting that Heidi is now regretting the surgery she had.

In this week's issue of Star, we reveal Heidi's regrets about getting DDD breast implants and having her chin shaved down. "And she's telling friends, 'I made a mistake!'," a family
friend tells Star. Swollen and wracked with pain, Heidi's dream body feels more like a prison. "She cries every night," a source says. "She's a wreck over what she's done to herself."

This is in stark contrast to other reports stating that she was so upset that Ryan Seacrest said her breasts weren't that big that she now plans to go to Europe to make them bigger! Is it actually against the law for her to have bigger implants?

No. It's not against the law in the U.S. for her to have larger implants, contrary to published reports. The two major breast implant companies make implants up to 800 cc, and her implants are reportedly 700 cc. Therefore, if she wants her breasts to be larger she has three options: (1) Convince one of the implant companies to custom-make one for her, (2) Go to another country where their manufacturer may make an implant larger than 800 cc, or (3) Convince some whacko surgeon to stack her implants. This is when the surgeon places more than one implant into each breast. Instead of doing any of those three, I would recommend that she dump that tool Spencer and consult a psychiatrist.

I believe Heidi has Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Check out this article on AOL's Popeater for my comments and the opinions of several psychiatrists. Click here.

Finally, if you've ever wondered what someone who's had her face over-Botoxed looks like when she's crying, the photo is it!

Jocelyn Wildenstein - She Looks Worse!

Here is a recent photo of Jocelyn Wildenstein, the New York socialite who has made herself into the "Lion Woman." Is it me, or does she look worse than before? Her eyes appear to be more pulled, as do the corners of her mouth. Her skin looks like it's molded from clay. What is going on here?

It's possible she's had additional tightening of her skin, maybe using some type of permanent suspension sutures. Whoever her surgeon is should lose his or her license.

Quite a while ago I posted a three part series on Jocelyn Wildenstein, which can be found in the following links:

Part I: Her Story

Part II: What Plastic Surgery?

Part III: Fixing Her Plastic Surgery

To view a segment I did on the Montel Williams show on Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), click here. (The show's hairstylist gave me an awful "Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes) goes to Church" hairstyle)

I was a guest for the Montel show, airing this Monday, May 19th. The episode features one of my patients with BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) and during the episode I discuss her treatment (or lack of it) with Montel. Click here for details.

Thanks to Montel Williams and the producer Joelle for inviting me to the show!

Lara Flynn Boyle - What Happened to Her?

Wow. What has happened to actress Lara Flynn Boyle's face? Her face is so puffy it is almost unrecognizable.

I feel really bad for her. I can only think of one medical reason why her face would be this puffy: steroids. If she is not on steroids for some particular reason (rheumatoid arthritis or other auto-immune disease) then it is very likely her plastic surgeon has been a bit over-zealous with fat grafting, Sculptra, or even liquid silicone injections, like what Priscilla Presley has had. For the record, I perform fat grafting and Sculptra injections quite often, and have never seen a result like hers from these relatively safe and conservative treatments. With her history of plumped-up lips, I would bet on some plastic surgery as being the cause of her unusual appearance, however. Her puffy face is not due to weight gain, as she looks as small as ever.

She may very well have BDD, or body dysmorphic disorder. This is a psychiatric condition where a person looks in the mirror and sees something that everyone else doesn't see. It can lead some people to undergo excessive amounts of plastic surgery in a misguided attempt to correct deformities that aren't there in the first place.

For her sake, I hope she gets some professional help, and not of the plastic surgery kind.
