Celebrity Plastic Surgery and Lip Injection – Orthodontic Alternatives

Orthodontic Alternatives to Lip Injection and Plastic Surgery Trends

Celebrity - Meg Ryan Lip SurgeryWith the Golden Globes taking over the television screens and countless images bombarding the internet and social media, it is impossible not to notice the beauty that is the Hollywood Actress. For some of these actresses it has become extremely fashionable to get their lips “blown up”. What are these leading ladies looking for?

Celebrity - Lisa Rinna Lip SurgeryCommon sense tells us their intentions are not to look fake or plastic, but to attain the full lips of their youth or the plump “Angelina Jolie” look they never had. However, more and more leading ladies are losing their natural beauty in failed attempts to achieve surgical beauty.

Let’s look at some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women over 40. Lisa Rina is a stunning actress. Unfortunately, after several surgeries and corrective surgeries, her lips look horrible. Also, have you seen Meg Ryan? In the 80’s and 90’s she was a top contender for one of the most naturally beautiful women. Now, post surgery she looks extremely plastic. I am sure everyone, including me, would have loved to see her age naturally. Another actress is Nikki Cox. A beautiful actress on popular television drama, Las Vegas. You ought to see her now!

Celebrity Nikki Cox Lip SurgreyI bet you are asking yourself how this relates to me, an orthodontist. Let’s recognize that in many cases the lips are a result of tooth position. If the tooth position of a young adult is not maintained and the teeth begin to crowd, the result is less lip support and thinner lips. In many cases, the correct answer to this fad would be to position or maintain the teeth position where they should be.

There are many shops with untrained people who are injecting foreign material into the lips and face. I’m not saying all the offices lack doctors or untrained professionals, or that in some cases there may be a legitimate medical need. However, legally, all they need is an MD to be involved with the business. That means they don’t even have to be present. I offer you this solution. If you ever have the temptation to have your lips tampered with, contact us. We can offer a consultation and discuss how your lip structure could be corrected without foreign injections! Lip injection is one of those situations where the gratification is short-lived and the results are often disastrous.
