Eva Longoria's Sharp Line

Interestingly enough, this year we have noticed a rise in requests for sharper jaw lines for women, the most popular chin and jaw line is Eva Longoria. She has a strong jaw line but no one would suggest that she is in anyway masculine. We treat a recessed or underdeveloped chin with an implant placed through an incision [in the mouth or] in the skin crease under the chin. If the chin is too prominent, we reduce the jaw through an incision in the mouth. Giving our patients a jaw line a runway model would envy.

Adrian Grenier's Locks

Thanks to HBO’s Entourage Adrian Grenier and his head of hair, the bald look of Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson is out! After the votes came in for 2007 Hollywood’s Hottest Looks, we found out that his curly shag was voted one of the top desired features in Hollywood. As a young guy, a head of hair is often taken for granted but men dealing with hair loss don’t have to worry, there are options available to them.

At the Beverly Hills Institute, we perform the most natural form of hair replacement surgery in the world, known as the Fleming/Mayer Flap. This means that a patient with frontal baldness can return to work one week after a Fleming/Mayer Flap procedure with a full head of hair. Not bad if we say so ourselves.

Latina Noses



This year the main trend is for Latina noses, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez top the list of 2007 Hollywood’s Hottest Looks. Some may say these ethnic noses aren’t so ethnic after a couple years in the limelight but we think that if they had work done, they got a great nose job. Rhinoplasty is one of the most requested procedures in the US; we pioneered the "open" approach to rhinoplasty. Even if you are not out in the public glare, rarely are people able to tell that you have had surgery done after the average 6-10 day recovery period, if done well.

Brangelina's Lips

While it’s no surprise that Angelina Jolie has the most desired lips, it seems like Brangelina are the power couple to beat when it comes to the perfect pout. Both Brad and Angelina were voted most desired lips in the male and female category of Hollywood’s Hottest Looks this year.

We, mere mortals, don’t have to only dream of the luscious lips of Brangelina; these hottest looks can be easily done with Verafil. We can tailor Verafil to either enlarge lips, give more volume, or both. Verafil is a thin-walled, dual layered, saline filled tiny implant that is inserted into the lip and has an adjustable “fill” capacity and a self-sealing valve. After placement, we simply fill the tiny bladder with saline solution until they reach the desired size. Should the patient prefer the lips to be bigger or smaller afterwards, the implant can be easily replaced making the procedure reversible.

Catherine Zeta Jones' Classic Beauty


As with every generation, the beauty ideal changes but we have noticed in the last 10 years since The Mask of Zorro, Catherine Zeta Jones has been on everyone’s radar. Speculations of past plastic surgery hound her but who cares we say at the Beverly Hills Institute, looking good is what matters.

For the many women who want to achieve the classic beauty of Catherine, we let them know that a lot of it depends on their facial structure. But at the same time we think a sleek nose job, some tightening under the eyes with a blepharoplasty and, of course, highlighting their cheek bones with implants or fillers will bring out Catherine’s amazing features for any woman.

Hollywood's Hottest Looks

From Grazia Magazine, April 2006

Hollywood’s annual cosmetic surgery survey of the swanky Beverly Hills Institute’s clients lists the top six most-requested A-list features in Hollywood’s operating theatres. “The list used to be dominated by classic beauties — Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts and Halle Berry — but this year’s list is full of new talent, including Sienna Miller and Eva Longoria,” says Dr. Richard W. Fleming.

Most Wanted Cheeks: Naomi Watts
Old trend: Solid cheek implants — a big operation and costly.
Now: Adding volume with injections is quick, reverses the downward slide of time, and brings out your eyes.

Most Wanted Eyes: Sienna Miller
Old trend: An overdone rabbit-in-the-headlights look.
Now: “The most desired eyes are Sienna Miller’s, i.e., more voluptuous with heavier lids.”

Most Wanted Nose: Jessica Alba
Old trend: A teeny ski slope.
Now: Noses are stronger with less flesh and bone removed. “The ideal is that nobody can tell you’ve had your nose done,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Lips: Scarlett Johansson
Old trend: Big
Now: As full and as pouty as possible. “Surgeons have to be careful we don’t make the pout too big, otherwise it doesn’t look natural,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Breast: Eva Longoria
Old trend: A Pammie DD.
Now: “A respectable C cup. Clients are asking for breasts that go with the new, slimmer Eva Longoria body look that’s popular now,” says Dr. Fleming.

Most Wanted Jaw: Keira Knightley
Old trend: There was less focus on the jaw line.
Now: Strong, angular sculpted jaw, with lots more people requesting chin implants and neck liposuction.
