I was leafing through paparazzi magazine of Hollywood celebrities the whole afternoon. An aunt brought home a lot of magazines from her visit to the United States and it was my chance to really catch up with the stars.

I noticed there were a lot of stars who underwent a few makeovers – usually nose jobs, botox, breast reductions and liposuction. There were a lot of horror stories – a lot of celebrity makeovers gone wrong. I have seen celebrities who are perfect with their little imperfections but still decide to go under the knife – the result? I honestly think they look weird but the camera loves their “perfect” faces so who am I to object? Besides, they need to invest on their physical appearance because that’s really where their money comes from.

There are surgeries gone bad too, like Michael Jackson’s numerous rhinoplasties or Tara Reid’s disastrous tummy tuck. Michael Jackson even underwent Eyelid Plastic Surgery! I have seen unflattering pictures of them blasted all over tabloids and wonder if ever their plastic surgeons are still alive.

There are surgeries which are nicely and subtly done too. If you look at Zac Efron’s and Julia Robert’s noses, you would notice a very slight (better) difference from their older pictures. And that’s what cosmetic plastic surgery is for. It is to enhance and not really alter one’s appearance. That is why Miami Plastic Surgery is famous for liposuction, breast augmentations and nose lifts.
