A recent article on TV Cheat Sheet describes a number of internationally famous celebrities, ranging from Sylvester Stallone and Jillian Michaels to Marilyn Monroe and Betty White, who have had subtle plastic surgeries that relatively few of their fans are even aware of. Beverly Hills Physicians (BHP), a Southern California-based health and beauty medical group, notes that most plastic surgery patients prefer procedures that look extremely natural and which do not attract a large amount of attention. They add that, in these cases, the best plastic surgeons work hard to fulfill patients’ desires by ensuring that procedures dramatically improve their patients’ appearance, without being too obvious.  A few examples of this include:

The Understated Facelift – Although the facelift is one of the very oldest plastic surgeries and has never been safer or more effective, patients often express some concern about having an overly “tight” appearance following the procedure, but BHP doctors work hard to remove wrinkling while nevertheless creating a natural, relaxed look. Our satisfied patients typically report that acquaintances who haven’t seen them since before they had the work done often comment that they appear to look more rested following their “vacation.”

Ethnic Rhinoplasty and Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) – Patients from a number of ethnic backgrounds often worry that a rhinoplasty (nose job) or eyelid procedure might make it appear as if they are somehow trying to escape their ethnicity. However, our sensitive and compassionate surgeons work with patients who are concerned about this matter to craft a look that improves their appearance while still honoring their heritage.

Breast Augmentation and Breast Reduction – There are numerous reasons women have work done on their breasts to either increase or decrease their size. However, most women want breasts that may be more shapely and somewhat larger or smaller without attracting undue attention – though that is admittedly a highly individual matter, with some augmentation patients actively pursuing a more voluptuous appearance. Our skilled plastic surgeons pride themselves on their ability to listen to their patients and ensure that they can create the kind of outcome that the patient will feel most comfortable with.
