We here at Celebrity Plastic Surgery don’t usually have a problem with famous people getting work done. In fact, we love; it gives us something to talk about, but some people just shouldn’t go under the knife, ever. Academy Award winning director and actor Robert Redford is one such person. The man has spent the better part of his life being ridiculously handsome, and was even aging really well, but he just couldn’t leave well enough alone. As soon as he started to look old, he went and got a face lift…and it didn’t turn out well. The man took himself from still handsome and distinguished American icon to guy that looks like a CGI version of a guy wearing Robert Redford make-up. Point is, he just doesn’t look right, his skin looks too tight, and strangely contoured. We’re disappointed in you Robert, we are officially taking down our Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid poster, cutting it in half, and only putting the Paul Newman part back up, because Paul never let us down.   
Smokey Robinson is Motown royalty. His “Quiet Storm” voice is unmistakable. But, to some of his loyal fans, his face is not. Smokey is rumored to have gone under the knife for a brow lift, blephroplasty (eyelid surgery) and a face lift. The singer’s face is thinner and his skin looks like a pulled rubber band. The only explanation is a facelift. He looks strange. Robinson’s brow lift looks as if he has a surprised look on his face 24/7. I looked at an older picture of Robinson, and he was handsome. His eyebrows were closer to his eyes. Today, he looks a hot mess. I don’t understand why a man would want to have that much surgery done to him. Internet rumors suggest that Robinson also had a rhinoplasty. I beg to differ with that suggestion. He has the same nose and pretty green eyes, but he is a good example of plastic surgery gone wrong. Then, some contend he didn’t have plastic surgery. Yeah right! So much for aging gracefully, Smokey.

In her quest to go wrinkle free, singer and actress Vanessa Williams has admitted she is a proud user of Botox injections. The actress told Barbra Walters in a 2007 interview she is not looking to look perfect, she just wants “refreshment.” The first African American to win the title of Miss America seems to be very conscious about her skin; after all she is a spokeswoman for ProActive and has publicly admitted her battle with acne problems. Plastic surgeons say that Williams has obtained laser treatments such as Active Fx, Pixel, Titan, Affirm or Fraxel over the years to keep her skin as flawless as possible. Williams is also rumored to have a rhinoplasty because her current nose looks different compared to pictures from the 1980s and an eyebrow lift (blepharoplasty). A plastic surgeon said it appears her nose is narrower and her nostrils have been reduced. The “Desperate Housewives” and “Ugly Betty” star has not confirmed these rumors. Some say her forehead is a little stretched indicating a possible facelift but that’s a judgement call for you to make, she has always had a bit of a high forehead, are those eyebrows higher? At 48, Williams still looks somewhat natural despite the procedures she had to enhance her look.
 Before and After 
 Showing her age a little bit
No matter how hard you try folks, you can’t look like an angel forever, and former Charlie’s Angels star Kate Jackson proves it. The Golden Globe nominated star of The Scarecrow and Mrs. King has recently been the subject of plastic surgery rumors. Her public battle with breast cancer (she’s a spokesperson for the disease) resulted in a partial mastectomy and subsequent breast augmentation, but that’s not the issue, and in fact, we should all applaud her bravery in the face of a horrible situation. Her apparent canthplasty (lower eyelid surgery) and facelift on the other hand, isn’t looking too great. Always known for her gorgeous, almond shaped eyes, Jackson went a little too far trying to fight off age and they now look tilted and pulled down at the corners (they sit almost diagonally on her face). Her facelift also didn’t come out too great, as her skin looks too tight and pulled, almost like she’s wearing a mask of her own face. With all that said, she still seems like a nice lady, and she doesn’t look too shabby for her age. So in the end, Kate Jackson is still a great person, she’s just no good at getting plastic surgery.
 
 
R&B singer Patti LaBelle has one of the prettiest voices and a wig collection to die for. In the early 80s LaBelle was sporting a “New Attitude.” Today, she sporting a new nose and is rumored to have received a facelift, necklift, forehead lift, and eyelid surgery. LaBelle looks outstanding for a 67 year old, but there is no doubt she has been under the knife to extend her beauty. She said a few years ago, despite the surgery, wanted to make sure she still had a “black nose.” I don’t understand that comment at all. If you want to keep your “black nose,” why have surgery in the first place? If it ain’t broke, honey, don’t fix it! Judging by pictures from LaBelle in the 1970s, she probably had her first procedure done in the early 1980s. The first surgery made her nose less broad, with a narrower tip, smaller nostrils and a defined bridge. LaBelle stunned attendees of the 2007 BET Video Awards when she performed a tribute to the late Gerald Levert. Her appearance was the showstopper. LaBelle’s face was wrinkle free, lacked sagging skin and her eyes were refreshed.

Donatella Versace probably isn’t as renowned a fashion designer as her late brother Gianni, but she’s certainly had far more plastic surgery than he ever did. Donatella is one of those not-as-rare-as-we-wish-they-were kind of people that go flat out overboard with their surgeries. Trying to stave off the effects of age and a naturally homely appearance (she used to look like the lady that ran my local pizza shop), she has had multiple facelifts to the point where her skin looks way too tight, and way too stretched. She looks kind of like when you put a picture of silly putty and then pull it apart, except it’s not funny because she’s a real person, so it’s just terrifying. She also had either some substance injected in her lips, or had permanent implants, because they look so swollen that she appears to be wearing those wax lip things I used to get when I’d go trick or treating (ask yourself: Did you try to eat them? I know I did). Basically, without putting out that much more negative energy, she is what happens when plastic surgery goes wrong, plain and simple.
 Plastic surgery procedures are like potato chips to Donatella. Once you have one...  If you thought the horror was only her face you were wrong.  If there are young children in the room please have them look away NOW!  Donatella Versace Before and after plastic surgery

Known for her sultry looks and serious acting chops, Jessica Lange has been a big time actress for decades. She’s been nominated for six Academy Awards (winning twice), and has also won multiple Golden Globes and Emmys. She’s a living legend in the acting community, but now she’s on her way to being one in the world of celebrity plastic surgery. Over the last ten years, it seems Lange has had extensive work done in an effort to keep her famous looks. We can start with her forehead, which lacks the wrinkles a 60-something woman should have. Why? Well, she’s either had injections (like Botox), or more likely, a brow lift; giving her skin a very taught and tight look. She also may have had eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to keep her eyes from getting baggy and crow footed, and as a side effect, her eyes are now smaller and more squinty. Moving further down her face, we see that her cheek skin is also unusually tight, probably the result of a face lift. Lastly, we have her lack of any sort of turkey neck or saggy chin; probably the results of a neck lift. So basically, Jessica Lange has almost no remnants of her real face, and if she keeps getting work done, people are gonna start asking, “Hey! Who’s that lady in the Jessica Lange mask?”, so she should quit while she’s ahead…or start charging to impersonate herself at parties.

Cheryl Tiegs is past the age of 60, I know it’s hard to tell through all that stretching and pulling. The former “Charlie’s Angel” actress appears to have taken an overdose of plastic surgery. There’s a bit of controversy concerning the number of surgeries that Tiegs has had. Rumor has it she has gotten a breast augmentation, a few nose jobs, and a facelift. Her lips look injected with Juvederm or Restylane. One surgeon stated that he would make a bet that the former “Charlie’s Angel” actress has had a few nose jobs, and one or two facelifts. Sounds about right to me. When Tiegs was confronted about having plastic surgery she admitted to using Botox just once but denied anything else. Cheryl might be fooling some blind people but come on! Look at the before and after pictures. She used Botox once? This is the definition of bad plastic surgery. She looks like she’s had quite a lot of work done. Cheryl needs to layoff the plastic surgery. She already looks completely unnatural.

Dionne Warwick has had psychic friends and tons of hits, including my all-time fav “Walk on By.” The 70-year-old singer has also had a heapin’ helpin’ of plastic surgery. Warwick is rumored to have had a grocery list of procedures, including a facelift, a necklift, a browlift, Botox injections, facial fillers, cheek augmentation and dermal filler. Phew! To say the work was slightly overdone is an understatement but it didn’t turn out so bad. Although I am not a big fan of most plastic surgery, she looks wonderful for her age. Warwick looks 20 years younger, and she does not have a wrinkle in sight. Warwick has always had pretty skin and surgery might have helped her along. What I don’t understand is why she is demeaning herself by appearing in the hideous show “Celebrity Apprentice?” The woman has been in show business for 50 years, and she is probably using the show to pay outstanding bills and publicize her new CD and book. Some are suggesting her appearance on the reality show would hurt her image. I think the Psychic Friends Network has been more harmful than Donald Trump.
Everyone wants to know what happened to the woman who played the original “catwoman” in the Batman television show from the 60’s. Well her name is Julie Newmar. She is 77 years old and still loves getting attention from the camera. It appears that Julie has some surgical help staying young looking. While she has always had her eyebrows arched, she has had a face lift and brow lift as well. Critics speculate that Julie may have had a past rhinoplasty procedure giving her nose a slimmer look. The speculation continues as it becomes noticeable that Julie may have had a neck lift as well, seeing that she has nothing to gobble about under her neck. Her looks indicate that she may be using Botox for her forehead and brows, in addition to fillers for her lips and face. However, one plastic surgeon stated that Julie has had a lot of work done, and it would not be to her advantage to have anymore plastic surgeries done at this time. Despite her age she is still regarded as being the sexiest “catwoman” ever.
