Facelift (rhytidectomy) plastic surgery is undoubtedly the most notorious procedure a patient can undergo, and not surprisingly, this "appearance altering" trend has made its way into the vanity stricken world, known as show business.
A facelift operation involves the removal and or tightening of the facial skin and tissue, which is then pinned in key locations, to stabilize the sagging or wrinkled flesh.
Here you will discover a list of celebrities who are confirmed to have, or are speculated to have undergone facelift plastic surgery. Including complete facelifts, minor nip/tucks, and a few which are unconfirmed but highly probable candidates. Visiting each celebrities name will lead you to a photo comparison, along with a smidgen of in-depth analysis mixed with snarky comments.

And now for a few "fun facts" concerning facelift plastic surgery...
First documented operation ever preformed was in 1901 by Eugen Holländer, which took place in Berlin, Germany.
The price of a facelift varies from $2,000 to $15,000 depending on the country where the operation is preformed.
Statistics from 2008 - 2010 showed that facelift surgery is the sixth most common cosmetic procedure, led by rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty, abdominoplasty, and liposuction.

Transgender Woman Sentenced After Posing as Plastic Surgeon
Today's bizarre plastic surgery news takes us to Boise, Idaho, where a transgender woman was charged with two felony counts of practicing medicine without a license, after giving breast exams to a pair of woman, while posing as a plastic surgeon.
37-year-old Kristina B. Ross, who previously served a four year sentence in a male prison for battery, recently took a plea deal of two misdemeanor battery charges, and was sentenced to 360 days in jail.
Mr/Ms. Ross was posing as 'Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna' at local drinking establishments, where he/she encountered at least two women, which both ultimately received breast exams, after discussing a plastic surgery agreement.
Note to reader: If you ever encounter a man or woman, and they try to swing a quick plastic surgery deal with you, promptly reject any such offer, and get the heck outta dodge! And never accept any examination advances!

Celebrity Cheek Implants, List of Men and Women with Cheek Augmentation
Cheek implants are perhaps the single most "face altering" plastic surgery procedure a patient can undergo, and despite the high number of ridiculed results, we continue to see famous celebrities opting for this controversial operation.
There are two general methods in which cheek augmentation surgery is administered, one being the insertion of a solid implant (silicone or polyethylene) over the cheekbone, and option number two, which is the injection of a soft tissue filler such as Juvederm, Restylane, or even fat taken from the patients own body.
Below you will find an alphabetical index of celebrities who have, or are rumored to have undergone plastic surgery for cheek implants. By visiting each link, you will discover before and after photos, along with a bit of commentary and insight concerning each celebrity.

Cheek implants, much like any other plastic surgery operation, presents numerous risks such as the possibility of blood clots, infection, excessive swelling, and bleeding. And more specifically, cheek implants can shift and become displaced, resulting in asymmetry.
Something to keep in mind, if you ever contemplate the idea of undergoing this dangerous and highly scrutinized plastic surgery procedure.

Celebrity Butt Implants, Famous Women with Buttock Augmentation
The initial thought of butt implants, may seem reminiscent of a poorly drawn up bit on a sketch comedy show, however, buttock augmentation surgery is a very real procedure, and even a few well known celebrities are believed to have undergone this mind boggling operation.
But lets face it, the buttock is one of the most highly prized areas of the human anatomy, and having a nice backside is perhaps the single most coveted feature of a woman's body, so perhaps its not really all that surprising to see people taking such drastic measures to enhance this desirable asset.
Below is a handful of celebrity women who are rumored to have opted for butt implants. And to view a more in depth article, click on the celeb name of your choice.
Kim Kardashian is undoubtedly the most famous celebrity who is rumored to have butt implants, seeing how her notorious caboose is what landed her in show business in the first place. The before and after photos are hard to argue with and look like a clear case of butt enhancement surgery.
Nicki Minaj's recent skyrocket to fame has garnered her an instant celebrity status, and along with it, has brought an excess amount of attention to her stunning round mounds. The overwhelming majority has made their voices heard, and many of them are claiming that Ms. Minaj underwent plastic surgery for butt implants. See the three after pics above.
Upon first glance, its quite evident that Nicole Coco Austin has endured a wealth of plastic surgery, and its strongly believed that one of the operations shes undergone, includes butt implants. Not to mention a pair of over sized breast implants, along with a few other presumed procedures. Apparently it takes a lot of work to be Ice-T's arm candy.
And last but certainly not least, we'll leave you with this unfathomable photo of English model, Alicia Douvall, and her newly inserted and painfully uncomfortable looking butt implants.

Celebrity Botox, List of Men and Women, History and Warnings
Botox injections are yet another cosmetic procedure that has taken the world by storm, in an attempt to temporarily banish any and all wrinkles from the surface of the recipients face.
Botox gets its name from the neurotoxic protein, Botulinum toxin, which is produced by bacteria including Clostridium botulinum, C. argentinense, and C. butyricum.
Studied for decades, it wasn't until the late 1960's when doctors began seeking the possible therapeutic uses for botulinum toxin, and in 1980 the toxin was used to treat the eye condition known as Strabismus, marking the first ever use on humans.
Flash forward to 1989, when further studies began on the possible use of botulinum toxin (BTX-A) for the treatment of wrinkles. And in 2002, the FDA officially approved the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes, and the rest is history.
Now in the 21st century, many celebrities are partaking in the botox craze, and while eliminating fine lines is the goal, the use of botox injections will often minimize simple facial expressions, which may prove to be damning to the careers of actors and actresses, if used in excess.
Below you'll find a list of famous men and women who are believed to have received botox injections at some point in their respective careers. Including repeat users, one and done, and of course a few who are simply rumored to have tried botox.

Lady Gaga Plastic Surgery Quotes "Promoting Insecurity"
Once upon a time there was a woman, a woman who sold millions of records, worn outrageous dresses, bragged about her drug intake, and donned prosthetic devil horns...
Her name is Lady Gaga, and the outspoken Born This Way singer is never afraid to speak her liberated mind, and dish out candid comments about any topic thrown her direction.
Which brings us to her recent interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine, where Ms. Gaga gives her own personal opinion about plastic surgery, and the harm it causes to our culture.
She later expanded on her previous thoughts while chatting with starpulse.com, saying...
This is evident by the increasing amount of young teens and adolescents who are undergoing cosmetic procedures, often encouraged by their parents. Like in the case of Kerry Campbell, and her 8-year-old daughter, Britney, who is already receiving botox injections.

Which brings us to her recent interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine, where Ms. Gaga gives her own personal opinion about plastic surgery, and the harm it causes to our culture.
I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.And while Lady Gaga may not always seem like an admirable figure of our society, we feel she hit the nail square on the head, concerning this particular issue.
She later expanded on her previous thoughts while chatting with starpulse.com, saying...
And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery? While I myself have never had any plastic surgery, I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.We couldn't agree more, Gaga, its glaringly obvious that the fragile self-image of young impressionable girls is being sent into a tizzy, with all the mainstream plastic surgery hullabaloo which is plaguing our culture.
This is evident by the increasing amount of young teens and adolescents who are undergoing cosmetic procedures, often encouraged by their parents. Like in the case of Kerry Campbell, and her 8-year-old daughter, Britney, who is already receiving botox injections.
