A plastic surgeon has opened up about the cosmetic procedures he believes are involved in the noticeable transformations taking place among Hollywood stars.
Cosmetic enhancements are widely embraced in the celebrity world. Figures such as Lindsay Lohan, Melania Trump, and Donatella Versace have debuted new appearances recently, causing fans to speculate about possible treatments.
Despite its popularity, there remains a certain stigma surrounding cosmetic surgery, not just among celebrities but also the general public.
Dr. Dennis Schimpf, a plastic surgeon from South Carolina, has shared insights into how these transformations can be achieved.
The surgeon highlighted that enhancements to lips, cheeks, and jawlines are increasingly favored by celebrities today.
In an interview with the Daily Mail’s FEMAIL, Dr. Schimpf stated, “One thing that is consistent right now, especially with Hollywood celebrities is volumization of the face. Basically, what these celebrities have done is increase volume in their cheeks, their jawline, and their lips predominantly.
“You can see in their lips that they’ve lost their natural contour in shape and have become more sausage-like appearing. They have increased volume in their cheeks that they did not have years ago, as well as improved definition of the jawline.
“There are multiple ways to increase this volume, including fat grafting products, such as sculpture and multiple injectable fillers.”
Natural aging is a reality everyone faces, albeit at varying degrees.
Dr. Schimpf elaborated on the methods available to counteract signs of aging, particularly on the face.
He explained, “With natural aging everyone loses volume in their face. We have resorption of our underlying bone structure, meaning the jaw, the cheeks, the chin all of these skeletal structures begin to decrease in size and undergo resorption.”
He added, “In addition, we begin to lose soft tissue. This is a result of changes in multiple elements in the soft tissue including collagen, hyaluronic acid etc… and finally loss of elastin in the skin leads to skin laxity.”
“All of these factors of natural aging lead to a decrease in volume of the face and an aged appearance.”
While cosmetic surgery offers numerous benefits, Dr. Schimpf points out that it doesn’t always produce the desired results, sometimes leaving individuals with an unusual look.
“The contrast between certain parts of the face looking much more youthful than other parts tends to lead to a weird appearance,” he noted.
