Reality TV and the rise of plastic surgery

Katie Price well known for plastic surgery

Getting a nose job in society these days is becoming as normal as eating a cooked dinner. Stars everywhere are striving for perfection and undergoing procedures to enhance their looks. Reality TV stars in particular, such as Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattinson and Ferne McCann, have all undergone rhinoplasty, breast enlargements,liposuction and body reshaping.

STARS WHO PREVIOUSLY HAVEN’T BEEN HAPPY WITH THEIR FEATURES HAVE OPTED FOR A CHANGE AND IN EACH CASE THEY HAVE PROMOTED THEIR FANTASTIC RESULTS.

BUT WHY HAVE THEY GONE TO SUCH LENGTHS TO ALTER THEIR APPEARANCE?

LOOKING AND FEELING GREAT

When talking about her surgeries, Charlotte Crosby said ‘you only live once’ and she prides herself on her plump lips and chiselled nose. Alternatively, while Ferne McCann now oozes confidence being snapped by the paparazzi, this wasn’t always the case. In an interview prior to her rhinoplasty, she broke down and said: “I was teased in school about my nose and I thought it was taking over my face.”

Sallie Axl has also dramatically transformed her appearance, showing her 117k Instagram followers her journey. She was quoted saying: “I know beauty comes from within but I know this is going to make me feel great!” Sallie has been open about her cosmetic procedures, live streaming her nose job and breast uplift from a hotel room.

CHASING THE PERFECT POUT

Lip fillers have also become extremely popular in the media, and the chase to get a perfect plump pout has competition from many stars. Megan McKenna, Katie Price, Holly Hagan and Lauren Goodger have all shown their improved pouts on social media and regularly stream their procedures on Snapchat.

While some reality TV stars opt for a more softer, less dramatic outcome, others prefer to go bigger and rounder. There’s no denying these procedures have changed these reality TV stars lives, and they don’t shy away from promoting and advertising their new cosmetically enhanced looks and style.

GREATER SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE

Cosmetic surgery has allowed these stars to gain greater self-esteem and confidence about their bodies. Not only do they feel like they have improved their physical looks, but they promote a positive self-image and inform individuals that if you want surgery you should just go for it!

Facts about arm lift surgery

IF YOU HAVE EXCESSIVE SKIN ON THE UNDERNEATH OF YOUR ARMS IT CAN LEAVE YOU FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE, SELF-CONSCIOUS AND AFFECT YOUR CONFIDENCE WHEN WEARING CERTAIN ITEMS.

Many people find that even with a healthy lifestyle this loose skin can show as skin loses its elasticity through ageing. Loose underarm skin can also be caused by weight loss, leaving skin looking baggy and stretched.

The good news is there’s a simple, straightforward procedure which can be undertaken to help remove an excess of loose skin – it’s a process called brachioplasty.

Below we’ve highlighted some key facts about undergoing arm lift surgery.

WHAT CAN THE PROCEDURE HELP WITH?

Brachioplasty surgery helps to get rid of excess skin underneath the arm which sags, often between the elbow and the armpit. It’s used to treat both men and women who suffer from loose skin under the arms.

HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?

During the procedure, you’ll be under anaesthetic and the surgeon will work to remove fat from the inner back area of your arm. This could also include some elliptical skin from the very top of the arm near the armpit if there is a lot of loose skin there too.

RECOVERY

The usual recovery time for the procedure is a few days of rest before you can resume lightweight activity. The procedure itself lasts for 2-3 hours, depending on the amount of skin to be removed, and you will be given a compression bandage after your operation to minimise swelling to the area. It generally takes between 3 and 4 weeks before you’re able to resume all activity including strenuous lifting to give your arms a full chance to recover and heal.

There can be scarring left after the procedure, but it is kept to a minimum by a trained surgeon performing the operation. If you’re interested in speaking to one of our expert staff about undergoing an operation to lift the skin around your arm area, then contact us today on 020 8311 4464.

Five celebs who’ve shared their plastic surgery stories

Although social media is often accused of creating an unrealistic image of what life is really like, there’s also an argument to be made that it has led to increasing transparency, especially amongst celebrities, who share even the minutiae of their days with their thousands of online followers.

Perhaps this is partially responsible for the increasing wave of men and women in the public eye who have been happy to open up about the cosmetic procedures they’ve undergone.

IF YOU’RE CURIOUS, HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE CELEBS WHO’VE RECENTLY SHARED THEIR SURGERY STORIES…

#1: KYLIE JENNER

Following months of speculation on the topic, Kylie Jenner made her big reveal on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, when she confessed to the cameras that: “I have temporary lip fillers. It’s just an insecurity of mine and it’s what I wanted to do.”

#2: ASHLEY TISDALE

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale is another celebrity who’s been open about admitting to having surgery. Undergoing arhinoplasty procedure in 2007, she claimed a deviated septum that affected her breathing had been primarily responsible for her decision.

#3: KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN

Kylie Jenner is not the only member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan to have signed up for plastic surgery. Older sister Kourtney has also been open about undergoing cosmetic procedures to improve her appearance, after having a breast enlargement aged 21.

#4: IGGY AZALEA

Iggy Azalea has admitted to having not just one procedure performed, but two: a rhinoplasty and a breast enlargement. Speaking of the latter, she said: “I don’t think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I’ve spoken about the changes I’ve made, like with my breasts.”

#5: BRITNEY SPEARS

Famous for her enduring career in pop, Britney Spears is another big name who’s been open about having a hand from the professionals. Stating in an interview that she has trialled both lip fillers and other procedures, she singer said: “A doctor I see [reputedly Beverley Hills surgeon Dr Raji Kanodia] does fun stuff to me sometimes – I’ve had lip injections before.”

Has John Travolta had plastic surgery?

JOHN TRAVOLTA IS ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S BEST-LOVED ACTORS WITH A CAREER THAT’S SPANNED MANY OF THE MOST FAMOUS FILMS INCLUDING GREASE AND SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.

HIS CHANGING APPEARANCE HASN’T GONE UNNOTICED AND IN HIS MORE RECENT PERFORMANCE IN THE PEOPLE VS OJ SIMPSON, TRAVOLTA APPEARED TO HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COSMETIC PROCEDURES.

Below we take a look at the very different look the actor has been sporting recently and the likely procedures that have altered it.

Aside from his perma-tan in the show, Travolta had also clearly had a weave in his hair giving his locks a thicker, full-colour look. For 62 years old, his forehead also appeared extremely smooth, suggesting the actor had undergone a series ofBotox treatments, to work out any lines caused my frowning and ageing.

The area under his eyes also appears to have been smoothed out suggesting he’s had a blepharoplasty in the last few years. Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that aims to correct defects around the eyelids, including deformities, colouration defects and lines to balance out the aesthetic of the eye region, giving a more youthful look.

During the show, the lines around his mouth also appeared to have reduced, which would suggest he’d used Dermal filler injections to smooth over the wrinkles that naturally develop with age.

It could be that the actor underwent the cosmetic procedures he did to take on the look of Robert Shapiro, the lawyer Travolta was playing in the show. The thick-set brow bone and bushy eyebrows Travolta sported during the TV show were highly reminiscent of the lawyer’s actual look and facial shape.

For someone aged 62, Travolta has maintained his youthful look exceptionally well over the years helping him retain his heartthrob status.

If you’re interested in undergoing any of the procedures mentioned above to reduce the impact of ageing on your face, contact the Belvedere clinic today. With over 30 years of expertise in the cosmetic surgery field, you will feel confident you’re being cared for by specialists who can help you achieve your goals through cosmetic procedures.

Celebrity Big Brother 2017: Who’s had cosmetic surgery?

THE NATION IS ONCE AGAIN GRIPPED BY CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER.

EARLIER THIS MONTH, A STRING OF FAMOUS FACES ENTERED THE TELEVISION HOUSE – AND VIEWERS WERE QUICK TO NOTICE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEM LOOKED BOTH YOUNG AND GLAMOROUS.

But is it all natural? Well, not in every case. In fact, several of this year’s contestants have previously been very open about going under the knife to heighten their fabulous appearance. With this in mind, here’s who’s had work done on Celebrity Big Brother 2017.

JEMMA LUCY

Ex on the Beach star Jemma Lucy has undergone a string of operations to achieve her look. Just some of the procedures she’s admitted to include a boob job, liposuction, a bum lift and Botox. Prior to joining the show, Jemma said that she was inspired to have a breast enlargement because of Katie Price. The 29-year-old recently told Closer: “When I began glamour modelling, I was massively inspired by Katie and the way she looked, so I went for the biggest implants I could have.”

BRANDI GLANVILLE

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville isn’t holding her tongue in the house. It’s really no surprise given that the reality star has previously been very open about her personal life – not to mention her experiences of going under the knife. In 2014, Brandi confessed to Radar Online: “I’ve had my boobs done and my vagina tightened.” The American star had since dished the same details for audiences on Channel 5.

SARAH HARDING

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding has previously denied that her appearance isn’t totally natural. Last year she went on This Morning and insisted ‘I haven’t had plastic surgery’ during a candid chat with hosts James Martin and Anita Rani. However, fans are dubious over this – especially considering that Sarah once admitted to having lip fillersduring an interview with Fabulous in 2011. She’s also rumoured to have had cheek fillers and Botox.

FLAWLESS LOOKS AREN’T JUST FOR CELEBRITIES

These ladies look absolutely amazing – and if you’d like to achieve a similar look with the assistance of cosmetic surgery, then we’d love to talk to you about our options here at the Belvedere.

Kylie Jenner reignites boob job rumours with stunning bikini selfie

KYLIE JENNER IS OFTEN THE HOTTEST STORY IN LOS ANGELES.

AND WITH A SINGLE SIZZLING SELFIE, SHE HAS SET THE GOSSIP SITES ON FIRE WITH TALK OF A SHAPELY NEW BREAST AUGMENTATION.

In a picture posted to Snapchat, Kim Kardashian’s youngest sister appeared to have undertaken a boob job which took her chest up several sizes. Jenner herself has not responded to the comments but she in notoriously silent on the question of plastic surgery.

Jenner, 19, has previously turned to a top US surgeon to plump her limps with fillers to enhance her bombshell status. It took several years to eventually confirm she had been having fillers lasting between two and four months since she was 17 years old.

KIM KARDASHIAN PLASTIC SURGERY RUMOURS

Kylie is not the first in her family to go under the knife. Kim is alleged to have undergone a rhinoplasty procedure as the shape of her nose has clearly changed completely since she burst on the celebrity scene at the turn of the decade.

The most famous member of the Kardashian dynasty is also alleged to have had several sets of breast implants to achieve her idea of the perfect body. Top surgeons have speculated she also undertook sessions of liposuction to shape her hard to slim areas after two difficult pregnancies.

KRIS JENNER UNDER THE KNIFE

Kylie and Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, is also a fan of plastic surgery. She freely admits to having had Botox, fillers, lasers and breast surgery. She even had a facelift as part of an episode of their long-running show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Rumours abound that she may have added a number of nose jobs to that list, one as recently as this year.

Kourtney Kardashian, the second of Kris’s daughters, is equally frank about her breast augmentation. She had the op to increase several cup sizes back in college and laughs off the speculation, saying she could care less whether people knew or not. Surgeons say she may have also reshaped her nose and liposuction around her face.

Thinking of having a boob job like Kylie Jenner or another procedure undertaken by the Kardashian/Jenner clan?Contact the team at Belvedere today.
