Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Face Not So Real

So I was reading Us Weekly and stumbled upon an article about the new Bravo series, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It said one of the wives Taylor Armstrong was going to undergo dermal filler procedures in the first episode so I obviously had to tune in!

Turns out Armstrong was injected by fellow housewife Arienne Maloof's husband who is a Plastic Surgeon in California.

Armstrong also said she got the procedure done because she felt pressure to stay beautiful and young looking.

Did you all see the episode? Do you think Armstrong needed any more filler in her face?

Erika Freaks Out in the SpIN Crowd About Lip Augmentation

The Spin Crowd is a new "reality" show on E! starring Jonathan Cheban, the owner of Command PR. The show is formally known as The Spindustry, although nobody seems to care that the show produced by Kim Kardashian suddenly resurfaced with a new name.

Well last night Cheban ordered his first year associate Erika Ledesma to get dermal fillers in her lips and he even went as far as to pay for the procedure and set up the appointment.

In case you didn't see the show, Ledesma CRIED about a. having her boss tell her she needed to enhance her lips and b. after, during and before her procedure about the devastating transformation she was making to have to keep her job.

Well hunny, if you want to play ball in the big leagues, you gotta step up to the plate.

As someone who's had numerous lip fillers injected I can say it certainly doesn't make you unrecognizable.

I think her attitude towards the procedure and Cheban's suggestion was childish, there's no difference from putting on some spanks to squeeze into an Alice + Olivia dress than to get a little filler in your lips. You're still using outside measures to achieve a "more desirable look" that society has established.

So grow up girl, but thanks for the dermal filler PR (any press is good press as Im sure Cheban knows) and Im sure Restylane and Juvederm appreciate the product placement!

HollywoodLife.com Thinks Megan Fox Went Overboard on the Injectables

Recently, Dr. Walden weighed in on Megan Fox's apparent injectable procedures, here is the article from HollywoodLife.com:

Megan- you’re just 24- do you have a Heidi Montag complex? Experts think you’ve gone overboard with Botox, fillers, and lip injections!

Megan you showed up to the premiere of yourbox office bomb Jonah Hex displaying a very different looking face and experts think you’ve had work done! We broke down your shocking new look to try and figure out just what you’ve done! Take a look and see if it’snatural beauty or a little medical help that is keeping Megan gorgeous.

1. Lips: It is clear that Megan’s lips are much, much bigger than they used to be and she’s lost the pretty bow in her top lip due to new engorgement ! Dr. Sharon Giese, a plastic surgeon in New York City told us, “Megan had her lips over injected, that is the biggest thing.” Dr. Jennifer Walden, another New York City plastic surgeon agrees noting Megan appears to have, “soft tissue fillers in her lips.”
2. Botox: Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ashkan Ghavami thinks the starlet has definitely had Botox. “She’s definitely getting Botox and a lot of it,” he said. “Around her eyes and near her eyebrows to keep that smoothness she had four years ago. It’s making her look waxy. She has that frozen look from Botox.” Dr. Walden agrees saying it, “appears she has undergone Botox injections to her forehead and crow’s feet to give it that smooth appearance.”
3. Cheeks: Almost all the surgeons we spoke with agreed Megan has had her cheeks filled. “Her cheeks have been enhanced, maybe with a filler like Radiesse, Juvederm, or Restylane,” says Dr.Bruce Katz of the Juva Skin and Laser Center in Manhattan. Dr. Steven Pearlman, a NYC plastic surgeon notes the actress has, “jumped on the facial filler bandwagon. Her cheeks appear fuller and more round.” Dr. Katz claims that this procedure in particular is becoming very popular with women in their twenties!

What do you think HollywoodLifers? Do you agree with the experts or think this is just the result of aging?
