So much failed plastic surgery they actually look like monsters

Mickey Rourke:

The Bogdanoff brothers:

Lara Flynn Boyle:

Jacqueline Stallone. Sylvester Stallone.

All these people are actively spending money and dedicating huge amounts of time to becoming acromegaly sufferers.

Lara Flynn Boyle:

Jackie Stallone:

Suzanne Somers:

mickey in his youthful beauty

He is a cautionary tale. Unresolved childhood trauma and self hatred mixed with mental disorder = his face today.

Carrot Top:

What about that gay dude who had surgery to look like a Ken doll?

.

Melanie Griffith (before and after):

Barbra Streisand:

Black people and cosmetic surgery don't mix.

Meg Ryan (before and after):

Amanda LePore & that Jocelyn Wildenstein creature.

This has to be the scariest of them all.

The chick from that 80's soap, what the fuck was her name again?

I found her picture by googling for "bad plastic surgery".

R18: That's Joan Van Ark

Any member of the Jackson family

Barney the Dinosaur. I heard that before all his plastic surgery, he was a member of the Jackson 5.

r17 - I am surprised that Sosa hasn't had his nose thinned. Talk about self loathing- straightened hair, lightened skin, and green eye contacts.

How does Antonio stand sleeping w/ Melanie? She looks a fright.

About Amanda and Jocelyn - 10 years ago, they seemed like total freaks. Now every Hollywood female star is morphing into the same cat look...

Soap actresses:

Jackie Zeman, Hunter Tylo.

OMG - I just saw Jackie Zeman. What are people thinking?! It's terrible and she was so beautiful. I'm wondering what Donna Mills is going to look like when she comes on GH.

Holy shit - just saw a promo for Donna Mills on GH - she is fucking STUNNING!!!! Not to hijack the thread - just in stark contrast to what happened to Jackie Zeman.

Sweet mother of gods, this is like leafing thru some mugshots from a circus freak show. These are grotesque. I think Laura Flynn Boyle is the only one who even looks like a person.

I mean, if you don't think about what she looked like when she was 20, she looks OK. But the rest are actually scary for the most part.

Babs isn't scary. She is just old, and she shouldn't be expected to look like she did at 30. So what if she got some plumping and a little smoothing out.

Suzanne Sommers is unrecognizable. Meg Ryan, Melanie Griffith and Mickey Rourke are just sad.

Does anyone else wonder if Hilary is going to get a little freshening up? I wonder if she is losing weight and on some kind of diet & exercise regimen?

I want her to run and be president, but I also wonder if her health is to fragile and they are keeping it quiet while she tries to get stronger. Sorry, this is a discussion for another thread. Ignore these last two paragraphs.

Rick Springfield

Dear God, what happened to Sammy Sosa? Did he borrow some bleaching cream from the Jackson clan?

Megan Fox is already getting that "cat lady" look and she isn't even 30

Hunter Tylo actually denies having surgery, she says she tried botox once and had a bad reaction. The mind boggles.

I had no idea that Suzanne Somers had acquired the fright mask look. Holy shit! How does she have the balls to hawk her books and products pushing herbal HRT on women when she is the WORST possible example of aging badly.

This settles it. I'm a woman of a certain age and I have the money for a re-vamp if I choose to do it. After seeing these photos, I'd rather go the natural route and look my age, but look human.

I do wonder about Hillary. So much is said about her looking her age, and how bad that is, but it would be far worse to be led by President Jocelyn Wildenstein.

31 replies and no one has mentioned Joan Rivers?

Lee Grant

Simon Cowell

Jackie Zeman

Does anyone else notice the lumpy, bumpy look of these women's faces? What causes that? It's most obvious in the chin region.

Well, of course Joan Rivers.

These posts talking about specific people are useless without photos. I'm talking about the people we haven't posted pictures of yet.

We need more photos. I loved Mickey Rourke. I'm sad what he did to himself.

Upcoming candidates:

Brandi Glanville, Heather Dubrow, Taylor Armstrong, Lauri Peterson; Bobby Flay

Pete Burns

R30 That's hilarious. Hunter Tylo has clearly had tons of work done. She's a plastic surgery nightmare.

[quote]I had no idea that Suzanne Somers had acquired the fright mask look. Holy shit! How does she have the balls to hawk her books and products pushing herbal HRT on women when she is the WORST possible example of aging badly.

She is one of the worst people alive. As far as celebrities go, the only ones who I can think are worse are the ones who have actually murdered someone (Robert Blake, OJ) or whose stupid actions and words have directly led to the deaths of people (Jenny McCarthy).

Suzanne Somers is one of the greediest, most soulless, most ruthless people alive.

R25.

Did somebody mention me?

r40, Carnie Wilson has never looked better.

"Upcoming candidates:

Brandi Glanville, Heather Dubrow, Taylor Armstrong, Lauri Peterson; Bobby Flay"

Glanville and Taylor Armstrong already look like trannies

And why do fish lips make you look "youthful"? Or cheek implants? Blowing up your face like a balloon just makes you look distorted, and lose expressiveness. R36's post is a perfect example.

I'd rather look old than look like this:

Lisa Rinna looking like a goddamn freakshow

Two more upcoming candidates:

Adrienne Maloof (do her eyes close at night when she sleeps?)

Sadly, Renee Z.

"And why do fish lips make you look "youthful"?"

The lips deflate as part of normal aging, particularly the upper lip.

And full lips are in fashion at the moment, dermatologists are happy to take a gal's money and promise her a mouth like Anglina Jolie's.

R2 why would anyone want to look like the Elephant Man x 2!!!

Janice Dickinson or Steven Tyler?

Hunter Tylo is sad, she was a stunner when she was younger. i always thought she was the most beautiful soap actress. Leslie Anne Downs had plastic surgery also, it changed her look, but she doesn't look TOO bad.

Good God!! It just keeps getting worse with every photo. Lisa Rinna doesn't even look human. If I looked like that I wouldn't ever leave my house. much less be on TV.

Pete Burns must have some very serious issues.

Well, it's a proven fact that with women their lips thin as they age. Some women are born that way, but plumping their lips is thought to make them look younger.

I recent saw two photos side by side of JLo; one taken recently, the other taken 12 yrs. ago. She looks exactly the same. I have to wonder. Because you know in spite of what they've said, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz have both had a little freshening up.

So has Jennifer Aniston, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney. The one I really worry about is Rob Lowe. He is so beautiful. He has had some work done, but he needs to stop now. I would hate to see him mess things up.

A lot of these people hate themselves, and once upon a time got by on their looks and secretly felt that success was undeserved. By ruining their looks with surgery (or in Mickey Rourke's case, with boxing and then with surgery), they've given themselves exactly the faces they subconsciously believe they really deserve.

The secret I've heard is to have as little as possible as seldom as possible, with a really great and trusted plastic surgeon who keeps telling you beforehand, "No, less. You need even less done you than that."

.

I've got thin lips and a wide nose and have thought about getting these "fixed". But this horrific freaks give me pause. If they can't get decent work with their money and connections, what hope has a plebe like me?

Ho Lee Fuk! Rinna's last pic has got to be a fake! If not, she has totally destroyed herself. The old fish lips were nothing by comparison. Poor Harry Hamlin.

Carrie Fisher, yikes.

The Divine Miss...?

Exactly, R58! I know in a few years I'm going to need my jowls done and I already have a saggy eyelid, but what am I going to turn out like if these people, who can afford the best that money can buy come away looking like this?

Midler looks like a cheap porcelain Mardi Gras harlequin mask with currants sunk inside the eyeholes, but compared to some of these creature features, she looks OK.

Of course, that's by today's standards. Everyone would've run screaming from someone who looked like that 25 years ago.

I agree with the poster who said Jocelyn Wildenstein is no longer shocking, because so many people are catching up to her.

Midler's OK. Hardly grotesque.

Zeman, like a lot of them, end up looking like Wayland Flowers' puppet 'Madame."

the last pic of Rinna is fake. She actually had something done to reduce that hemmorhoid appearance.

Angelina Jolie

Beyawnzze

Midler looks good. I think in her case her post surgery appearance is preferable to the alternative. But that's not saying much.

And thanks to whoever pointed out that the Lisa Rinna pic is photoshopped. I know she had gone through silicone removal(at the behest and pleading of Howard stern no less) so I was shocked to see that photo.

Yeah, someone was having fun with the last Lisa Rinna photo. Until about a year ago she had a role on a soap (Days of Our Lives, I think) and she never looked that bad.

Wasn't Mickey Rourke a boxer and also in some kind of motorcycle accident that messed up his face?

[quote]Rourke's boxing career resulted in a notable physical change in the 1990s, as his face needed reconstructive surgery to mend his injuries. His face was later called "appallingly disfigured."[30] In 2009, the actor told The Daily Mail that he had gone to "the wrong guy" for his surgery, and that his plastic surgeon had left his features "a mess".[24]

I just clicked past Mike and Molly and whoa, Swoosie Kurtz! Yikes.

[quote] Any member of the Jackson family

No. LaToya’s nose is too thin, but she looks good when compared to almost everyone who has been posted. Michael looked terrific until he went too far. All of the other Jacksons had decent work done -- certainly, nothing comparable to those on this thread.

Melanie Griffith’s nose job was never apparent to me until I saw that linked photo. As for the rest of her face: Damn.

Lee Grant: My gosh.

Donna Mills does [italic]not[/italic] look stunning. She looks passable compared to the others on this thread, yet her eyes have that permanent frightened look and her mouth looks odd.

Bette looks good in that photo, and she looked good at the Oscars. Whatever she’s had done was done well.

As for everybody else who was posted: [bold]Damn[/bold]. Do any of these people attempt to get corrective work? I wonder if some of this horror could be reversed somewhat in the hands of a skilled surgeon. For example: unless Donatella has ruined her nose with candy, she appears to have enough cartilage there with which to work. Tara Reid had corrective work on her horrific boob and stomach jobs, and looked so much better afterwards. Or, have most (all?) of these people gone too far?

73 posts in and no Michaela Romanini?

Monique Van Vooren ... Don't have any food or liquid in your mouth when you look at this photo.

"No. LaToya’s nose is too thin, but she looks good when compared to almost everyone who has been posted. Michael looked terrific until he went too far. All of the other Jacksons had decent work done -- certainly, nothing comparable to those on this thread."

Are you for real? LaToya doesn't look good in any way, shape, or form. She looks like a tranny. Jermaine looks hideous, too. Janet looks like The Joker. Michael looked like a joke after 1984.

Wayne Newton

Irma Serrano

This reminds me of The First Wives Club, when Goldie Hawn's character had her lips done and they looked so over-the-top ridiculous.

I recently saw the film playing on some cable channel and her lips (which looked so huge to me at the time) didn't even register as I watched the film. That's when I realized what was considered clownish in the 90's is now par for the course in the 2000's.

Mama Elsa from The Real Housewives of Miami.

Lyn May

What becomes a legend most?

What do you think of Bernadette Peters?

This close-up from last month doesn't look too bad to me.

Tina Louise.

You have to wonder about some of these doctors. I mean, if I was a plastic surgeon, at some point I would have to absolutely refuse to do anything else. I would refuse you.

I believe with some of them it's a combination of too much Botox, silicon injections, and implants on their chin and cheeks. With a lot of them, they go repeatedly, like every few months or once a year for more and more work.

I'd get rid of the jowl appearance and get a subtle little lift. But all the rest of that is stupid. Those doctors are just taking your money. I can't believe some of these actually think they look good. Although Bette Midler does.

Nicole Kidman:

Seeing all these pictures makes me wonder - who has had plastic surgery that looks good?! Can anyone post examples of successful plastic surgeries? (Maybe in a separate thread.)

No way. That can't be Tina Louise. Impossible. How terribly sad. I don't think I can look at too many more of these. Hurry, more photos!

R79 we really need some photos of Goldie. We really do. And Cher.

Kim Novak.

R84, I don't think Tina Louise's problem is bad plastic surgery. Her problem is that she is 80 years old with age inappropriate hair, makeup and clothes.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Is Wayne Newton sporting a lace front wig in that photo in R77?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Goldie Hawn.

Tina Louise looks like a bug that hit a windshield.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

OMG! This thread is actually quite scary.

Linda Evans looks... less fucked up here... I remember her saying on Larry King that basically sometimes the surgery doesn't turn out the way you hope... looks like she's letting it relax and herself age normally.

And I have that question... assuming you've got too far (slightly) but not Joan Rivers far... can you ever get something like your real face back?

These people--- the pictures --- it really makes me sad.

Mary Tyler Moore ... horrible and sad. How ugly do you have to be on the inside to do this to yourself?

Judge Reinhold.

Why so serious?

Kate Jackson: Cubism--live!

Half-Pint turns herself into Carrot Top.

Rupert Everett.

How to render yourself unrecognizable.

I actually think the last three look pretty good--relatively.

I don't understand why people start getting so much surgery and Botox and such a young age. And I agree, the people who look the best are the ones who are trying to look 5 years younger, and not 25 years younger.

Ray Liotta.

Are all of these bad plastic surgery jobs being done in the US? Why don't they go to South Korea instead?

[quote]First up: Donatella Versace

Once when I had been really sick in bed for a week I got up and walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and scared myself because I looked so horrible (super dark circles under my eyes, pale face, messy hair). For about a half a second I didn't even realize it was me. Can you imagine looking like Donatella? Damn, she must scare herself every time she walks past a mirror

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Taking a page from Michael Jackson, Lil' Kim proves that it is possible to change your race.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

I do not understand why these celebrities continue to have work done considering how truly hideous they end up looking. Like OP said, they look like monsters. How can they not see this themselves? Their egos are that huge?

Ray Liotta? Seriously?? Ray Liotta has a beautiful smile.

Lindsay Lohan is already getting fillers and she's not even 30. She'll out-Rinna Lisa Rinna by the time she's 35 at this rate.

I get that people's lips get thinner as they age and they might want a tiny bit of plumping up, but whatever quack doctors they're seeing are giving them trouty mouth. Why look old when you can look old AND weird? Is that the philosophy?

Donatella's boobs are really a thing of nightmares.

There is no way one can have cosmetic surgery in order to look younger and come out on the other side looking completely natural. The best option is to have a "refreshed" appearance without ridiculous puffed up fillers and extreme lifting.

Very similar to the idea of a smile makeover. One trades the appearance of natural teeth for a consistent overall evenness and brightness. The idea is to avoid a blinding mouthful of oversize chiclets.

The stars in this thread have gone way overboard. Of course, they are in an atmosphere where everyone is getting stuff done, and I think they lose sight of what natural looks like.

That isn't Donatella. It was disproved.

Let's try that again. Lil' Kim:

Milder, Sreusand and Fonda all look good- Kaye Jackson too- the rest- nope

OMG, they all have that large jaw, big lip look!

WTF??

I can attest from personal experience that when you feel your lip tissue is decreasing, there are procedures(albeit, semi-permanent)which help the situation markedly without giving you fish lips. the fish lip mouth is the result of a V Plasty and it is nearly a requisite in LA at this time.

I had 2 vials of collagen injected, which is incredibly painful, but it fills out what you have naturally and it is absorbed by the body over 6 mos to a year.Think Barbara Hershey in Beaches. f you hate it, it will be gone before you know it.

Wow R119. Lil' Kim started out looking like a "not too black looking" black woman in those photos, to a Pamela Anderson look-alike with an orange spray-tan, progressing into a Native-American, then after that morphing into a Chinese woman. Sad.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

LOL!

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

I can think of two others who at least look less than monstrous: Diane Sawyer and Michelle Pfeiffer, and we know they've had work done. But it's been good work.

If she lives that long, LiLo is going to be an absolute horror at 50.

Men look horrible with Botoxed foreheads. A man over thirty isn't supposed to have the shiny smooth complexion of a Kewpie doll. They don't look young, they look embalmed.

R92 I think Fonda should have quit before her most recent face lift. Bit yeah she still looks pretty amazing all said. I agree that the tweaks you mentioned are generally more successful then plumping your face with fillers. Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Sally Field, and from the slightly younger group Michelle Pfeiffer and Sharon Stone are examples of celebrities who did this right. But I guess most people feel safer going with injectables, even though in reality it usually turns out worse, unless used sparingly.

But even so...I mean yes, I would rather age like the celebrities I just mentioned, but if I had a choice between looking every minute my age (Diane Keaton) versus these distorted looking freaks, it would be no issue I would chose the former. I'd rather look old then like a freak show.

Speaking of another overly botoxed freak show candidate....Anjelica Huston.

[quote] OMG, they all have that large jaw, big lip look!

And tiny eyes. I don't know what they do to themselves but their eyes get really small and really out of proportion to the rest of their face. It's probably because they all get those hideous cheek implants that distort their facial proportions. Joan Rivers' eyes are really tiny. They look like they are halfway closed

R116, I grew up in Florida and used to occasionally see 70 yr old sun worshipers in 2 piece bathing suits. They all looked like Donatella does in that picture. Wrinkled orange skin that sags way down

plastic surgery done right

i saw a disfigured burn victim walking towards me, and though i felt horrified for the poor man, i was also curious about his disfigurement so i glanced when he was abreast of me. it was mickey rourke.

Many of these surgeries are to look less fat and younger. If you work out, maintain low body fat and protect your skin you won't have to get these procedures.

Below is a video of Rupert Everett after plastic surgery. He looks pretty good.

She doesn't look like a monster but Jolie is on a slippery slope. She looks almost plastic.

Former model Hang Mioku, a plastic surgery addict, injected cooking oil into her face when doctors refused to give her any more silicone.

[quote]Holy shit - just saw a promo for Donna Mills on GH - she is fucking STUNNING!!!!

Except for the cold sore on her lip.

R135, Jolie is not a beautiful woman anymore. Her face does look like plastic and she is all bones. If she stops now and gains some weight she might start to look a bit good. At least she doesn't look like a monster. Yet.

Bree Walker:

Billy Crystal looks like an anus that has gotten dermabrasion.

OMG, that Bree Walker before & after is just so sad.

Let's keep this thread going!

"Many of these surgeries are to look less fat and younger. If you work out, maintain low body fat and protect your skin you won't have to get these procedures."

Huh? Sometimes it's the scary skinny ones who look the worst (Joan Van Ark)

I know she's already been mentioned, but I have to say again, Melanie Griffith.

She doesn't even look human anymore. Her face looks like one of those scary Halloween masks.

It's a shame too because before all of the plastic surgery she was a beautiful woman.

I'll never understand why these stars have so much plastic surgery done. They think they're improving their looks? Yeah, not so much.

"I'll never understand why these stars have so much plastic surgery done. They think they're improving their looks? Yeah, not so much."

Some people just can't stop after one procedure. I honestly think some of these people have body dysmorphic disorder.

Why do these threads ALWAYS have the same celebrities? You would think only about 12 people in hollywood have had plastic surgery.

r146, if you know of other celebrities with horrible plastic surgery, then get off your lazy fat ass and post them yourself. No one here is being paid to amuse or surprise you.

[italic]Excusez la beauté[/italic] of Miss Mamie Van Doren, 83:

Raquel Welch and Christie Brinkley have had great surgery.

Raquel looks like a very well-preserved older woman and Christie could pass for 40.

Most of these are photoshopped to make them look worse, right? RIGHT!?!?!?

Sophia Loren doesn't even look like Sophia Loren anymore. You would think with her money she would have better work done like Raquel Welch.

Mamie Van Doren, of course, looks like a cartoon, because she always did. But for 83 she looks amazing.

After 40, girls, it's your ass or your face.

They don't look human, I will rather be alone than date anyone of them, those who sleeps with them are crazy.

For most of the women in these pictures, they've sacrificed their bodies (and health) for their faces.

If any one of them were anywhere NEAR being weight-appropriate this wouldn't be an issue. Being a size 0 and fitting into a designer gown in time for awards season is not a healthy way to go through life.

I'm not saying they should live on cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes but they need more than a stalk of celery, water with lemon, cigarettes, and vitamin supplements to be and look healthy.

Funny how they are spending thousands on "fillers" when nature could have done that for free.

The thing about fillers is once you start you can't stop. Eventually the stuff will sag or move around, then have to be plumped up again. After a few go rounds it is a never ending quest to keep up. Joan Rivers is a case in point.

When Rivers laughs or smiles her cheeks fold in on themselves near her mouth and nose. Horrible.

Olivia Newton-John and Chloe Lattanzi belong on this list.

Some of them look like they're made of wax that has started melting.

In the "good plastic surgery" camp I'll put Morgan Fairchild. She's 64 and looks 46.

Morgan Fairchild does look good

Yes, but Morgan Fairchild has gigantic boobs. She probably doesn't look so good from the neck down.

So are Stephen (Steven?) Tyler and Bruce Jenner transitioning? Seriously?

Not sure if Steve Tyler is "transitioning" but he does look terrible

People who do this are heavy boozers/druggies. And they get these horrible surgeries after they see themselves during a hangover/drug binge.

If you get sober, you might look younger, maybe not, but guaranteed you will look more refreshed, vibrant, and healthier.

And you will feel so good you won't worry about aging.

It's likely that Diane Keaton was never a boozer/druggie therefore she never got the itch. Diane has become accustomed to waking up to a slowly and naturally aging face.

Listen up people--two glasses of wine will show up on your face after forty, so forget it.

r164, you are completely right. I'm 47 and have lost my looks in the past year. I've given up alcohol and try very hard to get more sleep. I also now spend serious money on creams and serums as well as regular, quarterly facials. DO NOT WAIT until this happens to you, start using preventative products in your early 30s. Stay out of the sun, don't smoke and don't drink excessively. I will never have plastic surgery though.

Do women get their noses made smaller to make their lips look fuller? Most of them have whittled their own, normal looking noses down to these skinny bridges with flaring nostrils.

I also wonder if some of the plastic surgeons are simply sadistic monsters themselves, and deliberately make their clients look ugly.

"I also wonder if some of the plastic surgeons are simply sadistic monsters themselves, and deliberately make their clients look ugly."

That's crazy talk!

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Priscilla Presley

Jenna Jameson

Well honestly, people, I agree about the booze and add smoking, too, but if you're not on collagen supplements by the time you turn 40, you get what you deserve.

The creams & serums are fine. Get rid of red meat and too many bad carbs, as well. But you have to take the collagen supplements. I'm talking pills. Internally.

Not some silly, expensive topical collagen cream that lasts for maybe a few hours. Take collagen every day and you'll see a huge difference in your hair, skin, & nails. It improves ligaments too.

Drink lots of water, exercise for oxygenation, lower your consumption of sugar, and get enough sleep. Vitamins definitely help. You'll look years younger and feel better in the bargain.

I'll defend certain celebrities, though. Years of wearing lots of make up for their work, and harsh hot lights, didn't help. The ones who look better are the ones who wore as little of that heavy stage make up as possible and never wore it when they weren't performing.

I went to see a dermatologist when I was in my teens. He told me that my zits meant I had oily skin which would mean I have a lot less lines in my 30s and 40s than the kids who had perfect skin in their teens as their skin was dry. I didn't care at the time, I wanted perfect skin at 17 not in the future but his advice stuck with me anyway.

He said genetics has a lot to with it but i had some influence over it too so if I wanted to have clear skin and to age well I needed to stay away from cigarettes and out of the sun as that give you lines and to avoid alcohol as that gives a ruddy bloated face. He also said to avoid all those "expensive serums, potions and lotions" as they don't do anything. He declared the beauty industry a huge scam. You only ever need a good cleanser and moisturiser. You need to fix the problem from the inside, lots of water and i was never to underestimate the power of heathy food especially fruit. I remember him singling out blueberries as being especially good.

Although I haven't seen pictures, I assume Kurt Cobain's shotgun plastic surgery must have been pretty messy.

172 posts & no mention of me & my Ken Doll face?

"Well honestly, people, I agree about the booze and add smoking, too, but if you're not on collagen supplements by the time you turn 40, you get what you deserve."

Collagen supplements are a scam

I agree with r155. Women can have a BMI below 18 and still look fantastic when they're in their teens and twenties, but if they try to keep it up too long they end up looking mummified. Madonna is a prime example.

Collagen cannot be absorbed into the body through serums or supplements.

Collagen can be injected directly into the body, or the skin can be stimulated to produce collagen through lazer or chemical peels or with the use of some Acid creams. Supplements and topical collagen creams are completely useless.

bump

I'm torn. I suppose Walter Mercado could be considered a plastic surgery disaster, but he looks damn good for 82!

Has Walter had female hormone injections yet?

What you people are getting wrong about collagen is that you DON'T take collagen ITSELF; you take nutritional supplements like high-powered, bioflavinoid-mixed vitamin C and chelated copper pills that naturally build collagen fibers once digested into your system.

Bullshit, you can still drink wine. I have pretty good skin, almost 50. I'm italian which helps but I have been drinking and sunning myself all my life, nothing extreme but use UVA protection 30. Some of it is genetics but don't forget to enjoy your life and have fun. It's does no good to give up a good life for a few less wrinkles.

I'll think of surgery when I get the turkey waddle.

"Do women get their noses made smaller to make their lips look fuller? Most of them have whittled their own, normal looking noses down to these skinny bridges with flaring nostrils."

Real noses get larger with age as the cartilage slowly grows, and bad nose jobs shrink with age. The cartilage shrinks until the tip of the nose is totally disproportionate with the face, and the nose job that looked great when you were 20 can look freaky at 50. Here's Lisa Kudrow, who looks absolutely great except for the tip of their nose.

Of course, some nutballs actually WANT a Michael Jackson nose, because they're crazy. I think they look at themselves and see a collection of flaws, and tell the surgeon to eliminate the flaws, and pay no attention to the overall picture. I agree that it can be a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and it ought to be illegal for surgeons to take money from these people.

By the time you're waddling like a turkey, it's probably too late.

Mickey Rourke from 1980-2010. He has been trying to repair the damage.

“I had my nose broken twice. I had five operations on my nose and one on a smashed cheekbone. I had to have cartilage taken from my ear to rebuild my nose and a couple of operations to scrape out the cartilage because the scar tissue wasn’t healing properly,” he told The Daily Mail in 2009. “Most of [the surgery] was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.”

I can just imagine the sycophants and hangers-on surrounding each star, saying how wonderful they look after each horrible surgery.

Can you imagine though, as with Mickey Rourke? His face is important to his work as an actor. If his face gets busted up and needs repair, and he "goes to the wrong man" and he is left with all that mess, I mean it's your face.

You wake up every day and have to look at that and know other people are looking at it, and there is film out here with you the way you looked before it happened? That would be devastating to me.

Look, all I can tell you is that I took collagen supplements for 23 years and when I took them regularly I saw a huge difference, and when I decided to stop for a month or two I noticed a difference. Mostly in my fingernails and my hair. Those were the quickest signs.

But there's definitely a benefit to taking the oral supplement, which I took daily on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with orange juice. So you can say whatever you want. I have experience with it that's positive. I have no enlarged pores, and my skin is supple and has retained elasticity.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I don't believe Mickey had the surgeries due to boxing injuries. I believe that is his excuse. It's because he's gay or bi or all jacked up in general.

Walter Mercado is the personification of agelessness.

It doesn't help that most of the women seem to have very brittle, thin, messy looking hair. I guess it is from so much hair dye to hide the grey, or do these injections and plastic surgery treatments do something bad to hair?

This thread means nothing with out photos of Barry Manilow. Nothing.

Starving yourself, unhealthy cleanses and other food deprivations thin the hair. Who doesn't know this?

[quote]Bullshit, you can still drink wine. I have pretty good skin, almost 50. I'm italian which helps but I have been drinking and sunning myself all my life, nothing extreme but use UVA protection 30. Some of it is genetics but don't forget to enjoy your life and have fun. It's does no good to give up a good life for a few less wrinkles.

Definitely. Red wine is good for you, as long as you don't drink more than 2 glasses a day on average. I'm nearly 50 too. Recently I turned around to shake a guy's hand and he said my face looked too young for the grey hair. I've been wearing sunscreen since my 20s.

With all that plastic surgery, I hope none of those ugly people go anywhere near an open flame.

Barry Manilow now looks like my old high school Latin teacher. Not a good thing. Not horrible, but not good either.

She lived with another woman teacher for many years, prompting many 'let me be frank with you tonight' jokes from us silly brats.

Goldie Hawn

A photo of someone 30,or in the case of MTM, 50 years ago as a "before" shot next to the celebrity decades later as a "shocking" "after" is simply being cunty.

Agreed, R199. I especially thought that about the Melissa Gilbert one. She was about ten years old in the "before" photo!

ITA @ R199. You always see headlines like that. They show a before picture when the person was young and gorgeous and then an after pic when they are 60 and have had work done. Then they say, "what did she do to her once beautiful face?" Well, duh, even without surgery, 30 years later she would have a "no longer beautiful" face.

[quote]Well honestly, people, I agree about the booze and add smoking, too, but if you're not on collagen supplements by the time you turn 40, you get what you deserve.

[quote]The creams & serums are fine. Get rid of red meat and too many bad carbs, as well. But you have to take the collagen supplements. I'm talking pills. Internally.

You live in Southern California, don't you?

It's not working, you know. You're still aging. The collagen pills are doing NOTHING. You're just fooling yourself.

Priscilla Presley

The lovely Pete Burns.

I can't get over Ashley's face. She was so beautiful and it wasn't that long ago. It's a sad commentary when the best looking one in the family is Mom.

Ashley may be annoying but she is a natural beauty - too bad she had to fuck up her looks like that

Olivia Newton John is another one who ruined natural good looks with bad plastic surgery

Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch.

Tom Jones

ONJ seems to have asked her plastic surgeons to make her look as much as Ginger Rogers as possible.

Before and after.

Mike Jeffries looks like the male Jocelyn Wildenstein

Tori Spelling has the worst boob job in the history of the world.

Paula Abdul has the same weird "boob gap" as Tori

Vladimir Putin.

5'5" and plastic surgery. What a tiny, insecure little homophobe.

Sophia Loren looks like a monster in R217 pic. Yikes!

Robin Antin

Ali Lohan. She was 19 going on 50. I think this is the worst choice of plastic surgery I have ever seen in my life.

Patsy Stone looks damn good for....39

In r212's link, it looks like Olivia Newton-John went to a plastic surgeon and said "Make me look like Vera Farmiga's embalmed mother."

At least Sophia Loren hasn't plumped up her lips, which were always nice and full anyway.

She could get a new hairstyle though...this one from the 80's is getting a little tired.

Never forget

[quote]I've got thin lips and a wide nose and have thought about getting these "fixed". But this horrific freaks give me pause. If they can't get decent work with their money and connections, what hope has a plebe like me?

Men should NEVER get face work done.

Just let the women believe they don't look artificial. Just leave them to their frankensteinian devices.

Hunter Tylo

She did a full 360 R227.

I think we might be missing the point. Having your face done is just a status symbol that separates one from the hoi polloi. Eventually that transition won’t even resemble human as this specialty develops. Jocelyn is way ahead of her time and will be seen as a pioneer. It ain’t pretty but it’s hard not to be mesmerized.

I swear that several years ago Beverly D'Angelo had a really bad Meg Ryan face, but then got it all corrected. If she did there's no photographic evidence, or at one time I thought this looked weird but have grown used to it.
