We want to say congratulations to one of our Hollywood’s Hottest Looks, Jessica Alba on her pregnancy. We hope the baby, arriving in late spring, early summer, will inherit her gorgeous nose which is what was voted by our patients as the most desired nose. Jessica, here is some free advice on stretch marks, because unfortunately between 75% and 90% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during pregnancy and there is nothing that can be applied to the skin to keep stretch marks from occurring. They are nearly impossible to erase, but we can let you know how to minimize them. At BHI, we perform MACROdermabrasion which has by far been the most effective way to treat stretch marks to date. Congratulations on this great time in your life, Jessica, and remember we are here for you if you need us! 
As everyone knows, we are the experts when it comes to Hollywood’s Hottest Looks. So naturally, US Weekly turned to BHI when another of one of Young Hollywood undergoes plastic surgery. Ashley Tisdale, star of Disney’s High School Musical, underwent nose surgery for her deviated septum last week and we were asked our expert opinion on what a deviated septum is and what to expect with it. Check us out on newsstands today! 
Details Magazine, in the Power and Influence issue out this month, have listed the top 50 men who have taken up our “head space” meaning that whether we wanted to or not, we have thought about them quite a bit this past year. While some of them have been a bit confusing, such as #7 Kevin Federline as Father of the Year, we can’t help but agree with #45, The Well Dressed Man.
One of our favorite GQ issues of the year has just come out, Men of the Year (MOTY).The MOTY list ranges from former President Bill Clinton to Agent 007, otherwise know as Daniel Craig. We loved the latest James Bond movie and lately, many of our patients have been coming in with pictures of Daniel Craig. After we tally our votes, we wouldn’t be surprised if he appeared on next years Hollywood’s Hottest Looks list. We bet you can’t wait till January for the latest installment of Hollywood’s Hottest Looks!
"I don't want my own child to have to wait thirty years like I did. We've seen sonogram pictures that show she's likely to have a sizeable schnoz, too. Why should she suffer from it when the science and technology now exists to make kids still more perfect little human beings, ready to take on the world the moment they emerge, and not predisposed to all the insecurities that result from something like that. If it makes just one kid more confident, it'll all be worthwhile."Turns out that Lalatimes.com, where we found this article, is about left coast humor and all that is absurd in California, haha we get it! In Beverly Hills some people can be sooo superficial that they may even do plastic surgery in the womb. We agree that if rhinoplasty improves self confidence, then it is completely worth it. But even if the science and technology was possible, we don’t know anyone that would perform this surgery.
Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent, England has placed their Santas on a grueling weight loss program. Named, Bluewater’s Santa Boot Camp, the month long camp will see Santas getting in shape for Christmas. According to Bluewater’s Marketing Manager, “society has changed and Santa needs to reflect this change.”
Our 2005 Hollywood’s Hottest Nose Nicole Kidman denies she has gone under the knife and that she has never seen a Botox® needle.
Yahoo said that this image of actress Halle Berry attending the premiere of Things We Lost In The Fire in London on Wednesday Oct. 24, 2007, is one of the most viewed and emailed pictures of the day. One website even called her “cleavage-tastic” in her blue dress. We cannot disagree with that but we also know that Halle is naturally cleavage inclined and is even more so due to her pregnancy. Congratulations on the baby, Halle!
Not only do the characters on Nip/Tuck pretend to have plastic surgery, they also practice what they preach. John Schneider, a guest star on the new season of Nip/Tuck, revealed to EXTRA that he had liposuction on his stomach after getting frustrated with his inability to lose the flab with sit-ups.
The Daily Blabber on iVillage.com said that Marc Anthony almost outed Jennifer Lopez’s pregnancy at their concert on Friday night, when Marc he dedicated the Journey song "Faithfully" to her. When Marc got to the part, "They say that the road ain't no place to start a family," the crowd went crazy.
Nielsen, the company that tracks TV viewing in the United States, released a study this week stating that the average American household watches 4 hours and 34 minutes of TV a day. And for us, sometimes the commercials are the best part.
We were driving down Hollywood and Highland the other day and saw TV’s favorite plastic surgeons in hologram at the Hollywood and Highland Center. No it’s not us, but the skirt-chasing, morality-challenged Christian Troy, and the straitlaced, idealistic Sean McNamara of the hit cable show, Nip/Tuck.
What do Cher, Suzanne Somers, and Susan Sarandon all have in common? They are all eligible for social security! On Monday, the nation’s “first” baby boomer born January 1, 1946 signed up to receive Social Security payments. It’s a little unsettling to think that the self-admitted “plastic surgery poster girl” Cher is up for social security.
According to Us Weekly, former supermodel Janice Dickinson has gone under the knife once more. We don’t know if that is true or not, but they are saying that she underwent a "mini neck lift."
We found it hard to believe but Michelle Pfeiffer played an aging hag hoping to find the secret of eternal youth in her new fantasy film, "Stardust." Michelle talked to the press in London about her thoughts on aging and plastic surgery in Hollywood and said that she doesn't see anything wrong with a little nip and tuck here and there.In Beverly Hills and throughout Los Angeles, everyone is an actor/actress. At BHI, we are not easily impressed but we can’t help getting a little star struck. Forbes.com's first-ever analysis of top-selling famous faces placed Jennifer Aniston as the number one top face. Jennifer has been “most desired hair” on our Hollywood’s Hottest Looks survey in the past but we have a feeling that this year Jennifer’s face is going to be one of our most requested features.
If we had been doing our Hollywood's Hottest Looks survey back in the day when Tony Curtis was frolicking with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, we are certain he would have been nominated to our Most Desired Male looks section for his hair, his eyes, his nose and his chin. A Hollywood icon and now 82 years old, Tony is as vibrant as ever and even discussed his Botox treatment on ET (Entertainment Tonight) last week! Way to go Tony!
While our title is a funny play on the South Park movie, we at BHI dislike these stories. They make our profession look bad and it’s another reminder for patients to check their doctor’s qualifications before undergoing anything as serious as surgery. In Canada, another fatal case has raised concern over cosmetic surgery procedures being performed by non-licensed plastic surgeons. According to reports, a Toronto real estate agent and mother had liposuction at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic and died. She underwent the operation in a clinic that was run by a family physician, not a plastic surgeon. So this season, Tyra Banks has declared that America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) will be a smoke-free season. Seems to us at BHI that Tyra is going for do-gooder status this season, first ANTM goes GREEN (no more Hummer Limos driving the girls around) and now smoke free. For the first shoot, it was a composite image of each of the ANTM hopefuls made up to look glamorous as she sits smoking in front of a mirror. Then, special effects makeup will show what smoking does to the face. About time the modeling industry stops glamorizing smoking!
We, at Beverly Hills Institute, don’t mind commenting on people who admit to plastic surgery but we never want to “out” someone if they haven’t said so themselves, especially if they never had it done. Yet, whenever In Touch Weekly does Body News, we can’t help but wonder who has and who hasn’t.
She is a beautiful woman and while she isn’t our client, we have been creating these natural appearing females for decades. We know that to achieve that level of feminization, it does require quite a bit of facial plastic surgery. As facial plastic surgeons here at Beverly Hills Institute, we know quite a bit about the many procedures that the women of the transgender community need in order to feel beautiful. Like we always say, whatever we can do to help a woman feel and look her best, we will do it.
jumping for joy. Out May 2008, it looks like Charlotte is having babies and, of course, Mr. Big and Carrie are still on. We can’t wait until more details are leaked. 
Even though Cate Blanchett is at the top of our Hollywood’s Hottest Looks list, we don‘t know that Elizabeth I would have made it. With Elizabeth: The Golden Age coming to the big screen, it brings to mind something we have been saying for years. Elizabeth I had a huge forehead!
It’s been said that if she didn’t like a particular picture she would have destroyed it, “Her Majesty commands all manner of persons to stop doing portraits of her until a clever painter has finished one which all other painters can copy.” Smart Lady, too bad nowadays people don’t have that option. We recommend patients get the Fleming/Mayer Hairline Lowering Procedure. Some unlucky women have a congenitally high hairline, giving them a masculine look resulting in a balding appearance. For those patients, the Fleming/Mayer Hairline Lowering Procedure has been developed to lower the hairline and to bring the proportions of the face and hairline into balance.
Once asked, "What do you think of plastic surgery, and would you consider it in thirty years?" Sarah Michelle Geller said, "I can't comment now what I'm going to do ten, fifteen years from now." And even has said, "But I'm OK with nose jobs if you get up every day and look in the mirror and your nose makes you unhappy. If you think that's the answer, by all means do it."
At 31, we think she looks amazing but unfortunately, her eyebrows are low, meaning that she is someone that most likely won’t age well as her brows go down.
Typically, the mistake most people make when they want to correct the low brow is an upper eyelid Blepharoplasty when the correct procedure for her would be a Hairline Forehead Lift. We see that very often in our practice. Only a Hairline Forehead Lift will correct the brows without raising the hairline and eliminate the eyelid hooding at the same time. Let's hope, when she decides to get plastic surgery she doesn’t make the obvious mistake.
Kate Hudson, Paris Hilton and Reese Witherspoon are names not often listed together, but this year they were all voted top Hottest Hollywood Skin by our patients. Let's face it, not all skin types are created equal but the natural, low maintenance look that is popular make it necessary to have great skin. We recommend macrodermabrasion, a form of skin resurfacing with NO down time.
This treatment uses sea salt and a positive pressure machine to remove dead surface layers of the skin helping fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation as well as mild acne scarring. We think that this is the perfect treatment for people who don't want to worry about leaving the house without make up.
Kiera Knightly was recently complaining about how much airbrushing is done to her when she poses for women's magazines. We all know that magazines are notorious for retouching but no one can fake her slanting eyes, knife-edge cheekbones and that almost irritatingly perfect upper lip. No wonder for the past 3 years she had made it on to Hollywood's Hottest Looks.
While youth is on her side, we have noticed that high cheekbones for women never go out of style. As we age, many patients come in and ask to lose the "sunken-in" appearance and minimize the folds at the sides of the mouth. We often suggest a cheeklift on those patients to correct muscle sagging. This procedure allows us to lift the cheek area and return a more youthful fullness to the cheeks.
"Low browed" isn’t normally what people think of when they think of Nicole Kidman but we have to say it. Yes, Nicole is the epitome of refinement and taste but she has what is called ptosis, meaning literally having eyebrows that are very low. As we all know, age lowers the brow, in turn aging us even more... bad news for Nicole. Added to low brows, Nicole also has a high hair line.
A mistake in correcting her low brow would be an endoscopic forehead lift, which would only make the problem worse by raising her hairline even more. Thanks again to our commitment to finding the best procedures for every person’s individual face, we developed a technique that allows the hair to grow through and in front of the hairline incision, so the hairline incision is completely undetectable diminishing her low brow state at the same time.
George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy... they don’t seem to have problem getting the ladies, so what is it that they all have in common? According to our annual survey, Hollywood’s Hottest Looks, its CHEEKBONES. What is it about strong cheek bones in men that make all the girls swoon? At Beverly Hills Institute, we constantly have men coming in asking to look like George, Johnny or Eddie, not knowing what they really want is prominent cheekbones.
Prominent cheek bones improve facial contour and accentuate the eyes. With 60% increase in men having cosmetic procedures, men no longer see plastic surgery as a woman issue. As men age, men lose volume in their face and cheekbones become less prominent. There are different types of implants used for the cheekbones that are customized for each patient to get them lady killer looks.
