There is a famous saying, “The mother of all inventions is necessity.” As a plastic surgeon it is often assumed, I love the drama and the sensationalized aspects of plastic surgery. That is so far from the truth. I am often at odds with the plastic surgery community because I hate those type of programs on TV. I hate when plastic surgery is displayed as sensationalized and as a result, I am trying to combat some of the negative aspects in the plastic surgery world that you see on social media and debunk the not realistic expectations. What I mean is, young people doing procedures they should not be doing, women going to random clinics to put fat in their butts and then dying. There are a lot of horror stories that come out of plastic surgery — and when I look at my own practice and I would say a third of my practice is revisional, meaning people are coming back to redo things. I decided I was going to have my own platform and use my own voice to educate people on how to navigate the plastic surgery process in a way that would leave them feeling better and not worse. This program was a birth child of my frustrations and my desire to do something good.

Dr. Rady Rahban is the 2020 Honoree of the Hollywood Beauty Award recognizing his numerous revision and corrective plastic surgeries with successful life-changing effects for men and women worldwide.

Dr. Rady Rahban, a Beverly Hills Board Certified Plastic Surgeon tells HL, “There is a three prong approaches to noninvasive procedures that enhance one’s red carpet appearance whether for celebrities or civilians.

“First Neuro Toxins (Botox and Dysport) that modulate wrinkles by relaxing the muscles underneath the skin. The best results are seen when a patient receives Botox every 4-6 months. Most popular areas to treat are the forehead, in between the brows, and the crow’s feet (around the eyes).

“Second, Hyaluronic Acid fillers for volume replacement (Restylane, Juvederm).  Most common areas treated are the under eyes, lips, and cheeks.  As we age, we lose fat in our face which has previously kept us “youthful” looking.  Procedure should be done at least 2 weeks prior to an event just in case of any swelling or bruising.

Fashion tape, Photoshop and makeup artists who double as magicians make it hard to tell who in Hollywood has opted for breast augmentation and who hasn’t–and, as Pittsburgh plastic surgeon Leo R. McCafferty, MD reminds us, when the procedure is entrusted to a board certified plastic surgeon, it makes it even harder to tell. “The best celebrity breast augmentation and revision is one that’s undetectable,” he says.

Newport Beach, CA plastic surgeon Tim Sayed, MD agrees, adding, “some of the more aesthetically well-done and balanced breast augmentations are the ones where you ask, ‘did she get them done or is it a really good bra?’”

We tapped some of the top plastic surgeons in the country to comment on both rumored and on-the-record breast augmentations and revisions. Below, the cases they believe to be the most well-done–and a few of the worst.
