Plastic surgery fans and foes at Cannes
STARS WHO DID, STARS WHO DIDN’T
Celebrities fly to France at this time each year, gathering together a mixed flock of plastic surgery fans and opponents visiting the Cannes film festival.
Here’s a sampling of various categories of stars at Cannes – some who definitely did, some who probably didn’t, and some who perhaps should go under the knife or the needle.
DID
Actress Faye Dunaway, 70, reportedly has had a facelift, Botox, fillers, laser skin treatments and dental veneers. As the Real Self blog says, “Faye Dunaway’s latest work isn’t on film, it’s actually on her face. She’s had an eyebrow lift, porcelain veneers, and the latest … lip augmentation.”
In the past, actress Jane Fonda, 73, often spoke out against plastic surgery, but last year she had work done on her chin, neck and under her eyes.
Fonda explains her decision to get a facelift at age 72: “I just decided it was for me – I don’t want to have bags under my eyes that make me look tired.”
DIDN’T
Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, 29, won a 2009 lawsuit that she filed against a Beijing hospital that used her name in ads for plastic surgery. The hospital was ordered to pay her damages after it advertised a “special summer offer on Fan Bingbing’s plastic surgery.” She denied having the plastic surgery and sued for slander.
DIDN’T RECENTLY
Singer, designer and Orange County native Gwen Stefani, 41, has said she would consider having plastic surgery, but denies that she has had any yet. But the cosmetic medicine website MakeMeHeal.com says she got a nose job long ago. It cites a photo of her as a teenager “with a rather bulbous nose tip and a wider bridge than her current nose.”
Photos of her looking flat-chested in Cannes do not lend support to that website’s assertion that she has gotten breast implants to change her bust from “extremely flat, A cup-sized breasts to a moderate B cup breast size.”
Actress Angelina Jolie, 35, denies that she has ever had plastic surgery, but an early nose job is obvious in before-and-after photos. Although her lips look as if they’d been injected with filler, they probably haven’t been. She has had large lips since she was a teenager.
Actress Penelope Cruz, 37, has “occasionally pouting lips (that) suggest that her dermatologist sometimes wields a syringe with too much gusto,” says plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente and Orange.
Plastic surgeons Dr. Paul S. Nassif of Beverly Hills and Dr. Daniel Joseph Verret of Texas also say they see evidence of surgical intervention at the tip of Penelope Cruz’s nose.
“That’s far from proven,” Di Saia says.
OH, YES
Model Victoria Silvstedt, 36, has enhanced her natural endowments with plastic surgery, but her breast implants pose some problems. Online photos of her show ripples in the skin that covers her obvious breast implants. “Rippling is more common in women who have small breasts and go with larger implants,” Di Saia says. “It has to do with the tissue coverage being relatively thin compared to the size of the breast implants underneath.”
WON’T
British actress Charlotte Rampling, 65, says about plastic surgery, “I’m lucky because I haven’t really needed it. People think they need it, and there’s not much you can do to stop them having it.”
Actresses lose out on good roles for older women if they submit to pressure to get plastic surgery, she says.
Actress-director Jodie Foster, 48, says plastic surgery would be “something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am.”
“For me, it’s really a self-image thing,” she says. “I’d rather have somebody go, ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose,’ than ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.’ “
SHOULD AND DID?
Celebrity watchers often speculate that actress Goldie Hawn, 65, has had work done. Plastic surgeon and blogger Dr. Tony Youn agrees, saying, “In my experience, 60-year-old women don’t have straight necklines like hers without a bit of plastic surgery help.”
She would benefit from laser skin treatments to counteract years of sun exposure, says dermatologist Dr. Vince Afsahi of Tustin and Newport Beach.
