Bad Celebrity Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Examples of this addictive syndrome are all too evident among celebrities where illustrations of bad plastic surgery are everywhere. Singer Michael Jackson stands at the pinnacle of this addictive spectrum. Jackson’s features bear no resemblance to his early publicity photos taken when he performed with his brothers as part of the Jackson Five.

The extent of his awful plastic surgery transgressions has risen to such heights that it is now generally speculated that he suffers from body dysmorphic disorder, a psychological condition characterized by unreasonable preoccupation with one’s appearance and an overall feeling of self-loathing.

Singer and rock legend Cher has undergone a fairly dramatic transformation from her fresh-faced and exotic appearance in the 1960s. Her pointed chin, overly sculpted cheeks, pinched nose, and exaggeratedly slanted eyes have taken her into the “over the top” category of stars that have “had a little work done.”

Former handsome hunks like actor Burt Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher have gone to such lengths to preserve their legendary looks that frankly, they no longer appear human. Reynolds has that “pulled too tight” appearance to his features made worse by an apparent fondness for tanning and Fisher is so painfully artificial and plastic it is difficult to even look at the man.

The current fad in cosmetic procedures in the Hollywood community is the practice of injecting collagen to produce a supposedly sexy pout to a woman’s lips. Consequently there is now a whole crop of young starlets with grossly inflated and unnaturally large lips. Certainly Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, and Jessica Simpson fall into this category.

Simply becoming addicted to the procedures themselves may be one of the greatest plastic surgery dangers. For many this fact is making less invasive and less dramatic options all the more attractive. If you are seeking to enhance your features and to reverse the effects of aging but also want to safeguard your health and well-being, the potential dangers of plastic surgery should be a major selling point in opting for one of these more conservative alternatives.
