Last night crowned Miss Universe 2008. Miss Venezuela Danyana Mendoza took home the crowning honor.

Miss USA slipped and fell for the second year in a row, with a video seen round the Internet.

And many of the contestants seemed to be all natural. This could be because some countries have rules about contestants with plastic surgery.

But Make Me Heal was interested to learn that Miss Brazil is reportedly interested in becoming a plastic surgeon in the future. Brazil is well known for its emphasis on beauty and widespread plastic surgery, so as a representative of the South American country, Miss Brazil’s goal seemed quite fitting.

The Queen of Hip-hop Soul, Mary J, Blige is much loved for her music, but much criticized for her obvious breast implants.

Mary J Blige was nominated at this year’s BET Awards for best Female R&B vocalist (see Make Me Heal’s story on Plastic Surgery at the BET Awards). While Alicia Keys walked away with the award, Mary J walked away with breast implants.

37 year old Mary J. Blige is known for her powerful vocals, but ever since she appeared at an event on the red carpet with fake implants, she has been just as known for her augmented twins.

Mary used to be a normal sized to fuller figured woman. But when she lost weight, her implants became more obvious. Rather than looking full and perky, her breasts look painful and pulled. She didn’t wear a revealing dress at the BET awards, rather she wore a deep purple sweater and black pants, which didn’t give fans much of a view of her rack and cleavage.

When patients lose weight after a breast augmentation, they no longer have the skin and fat to help conceal the shape of the implants. In Mary J’s case, she lost so much weight that her chest pokes through, separating her breasts and showing how tightly the skin is pulled around the implants.

Mary J looks great for her age, but losing a lot of weight not only isn’t good for implants, it can cause premature wrinkles as well. If Mary J has experienced other side effects from weight loss, such as loose skin, she can consider skin tightening procedures such as Thermage. Moreover, she may been using dermal fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane to plump out her face as she hasn’t got many wrinkles at all. She also has very full cheeks, the results of good genes or fillers.

In the past, Mary J has openly admitted to struggling with drugs but has denied accusations of using performance-enhancing steroids. Although, she does have some great guns that she isn’t afraid to show off.

Other than her fake breasts, Mary J looks amazing and Make Me Heal looks forward to seeing her next hair transformation.

The pyrotechnics that opened Usher’s set at this year’s BET Awards didn’t have nearly as much shock value as the plastic surgery onstage, which was chock full of Make Me Heal’s plastic surgery alumni.

Nearly all the nominees for Best Female R&B Artist have had plastic surgery. Mariah Carey has had more procedures than you can shake your booty at, including: a possible nose job, breast augmentation, liposuction procedures on her abdomen and thighs as well as dermal injections like Botox, Juvederm and laser skin treatments to maintain her smooth, poreless, wrinkle-free complexion such as Fraxel, Active Fx, and CoolTouch. Get the lowdown on Mariah’s encounters with the knife in Make Me Heal’s feature story on Mariah Carey’s Plastic surgery.

Alicia Keys won the award in the Best Female R&B Artist category and accepted her award with her surgically enhanced nose and possibly lightened skin. Make Me Heal previously reported on Alicia probable nose job, as her old nose compared to her present one was much wider, had little projection, was flat, and had a bulbous tip. Read the full story on Alicia Keys’ plastic surgery.

Fans of Missy Elliot, the Winner for Best Female Hip-hop Artist may have noticed that the 36-year old dropped a lot of weight since starting out. While her weight loss is likely to have been aided by exercise and good nutrition, it is quite possible that Missy Elliott put some finishing touches on her body with surgical liposuction procedures. How much of the weight loss being attributed to liposuction is hard to determine as the rapper wears baggy clothes. She has said the weight loss is due to better eating, drinking lots of water and getting a personal trainer.

Winner for Best Male Hip-hop Artist, Kanye West, knows first-hand the danger of plastic surgery. The artist famously lost his mother Donda West during a liposuction procedure last year. Donda’s death has inspired more stringent regulations for cosmetic surgery.

The winner for Best Actress, Halle Berry is also a plastic surgery fan. In the past Make Me Heal has reported on Halle’s possible plastic surgeries, including a rhinoplasty (nose job) and breast augmentation. After giving birth, Make Me Heal also wondered whether if the hot mama had used a fast liposuction procedure, like SmartLipo to regain her pre-baby body. See Make Me Heal’s story on Halle Berry’s Plastic Surgery.

At the recent Oscars, the red carpet was once again full of sparkling stars and subtle touches of agelessness. The male stars of the Oscars were out in force: aging gracefully but not all were so naturally handsome that they couldn’t benefit from some plastic surgery.

Best Actor Winner Daniel Day Lewis appears to be as yet untouched by the knife. But that doesn’t mean that he couldn’t improve the signs of aging he has begun to experience. His cheeks look like they have become fuller as he grows older, but his nose has taken on a crooked appearance, possibly he has had some injury that has not been corrected and makes him look older than he has to. This problem can be corrected with nose reshaping (rhinoplasty). Moreover, Daniel Day Lewis’s deep wrinkles are not camera friendly and Botox can soften the wrinkles for photos and film.
George Clooney was a red carpet favorite at this year’s Oscars. Make Me Heal has before noted some of Clooney’s previous plastic surgery, including an eyelid lift that the actor himself admitted to, “I had my eyes done. Can you tell? I think it’s important to look awake” (read the full story on George Clooney’s Eyelid Surgery). While the jury’s out on whether the charming actor was kidding around, he could do more to enhance his appearance.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif refuted the blepharoplasty rumors, but made some suggestions. “George Clooney hasn’t had any eye work. George would look great if he had a conservative natural endoscopic brow lift.” Which is an interesting difference from the way plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia feels about Clooney, as he felt that the actor had an eyelid surgery and possibly even a mid-facelift. “Looks pretty consistent with upper and lower blepharoplasty with maybe a little midface work. Some of this midface work can now be done through the lower lid incisions,” says Dr. Di Saia.

Tommy Lee Jones has had a long career in film and the effects of working so much are beginning to show.

Make Me Heal notices that the tapestry of lines on Tommy Lee Jones’s face have become increasingly deep and that his eyelids have continued to droop. Dr. Nassif advises, “Facial rejuvenation might be an option for nominee and award-winner Tommy Lee Jones. His heavy eyelid and forehead could be addressed with a blepharoplasty and a browlift.”

For Viggo Mortensen, the strong and masculine actor’s deep lines seem premature and the result of excessive sun-worshipping. Make Me Heal wondered if fillers couldn’t help benefit the talented actor and Dr. Nassif agrees, saying, “wrinkles on best-actor nominee Viggo Mortensen forehead could be easily treated with Botox or other fillers.”

Latin import Javier Bardem is a handsome leading man with a distinctly masculine nose and chin, but doesn’t seem to have had any plastic surgery. As Bardem ages and spends more time in Hollywood, he may want to consider laser skin resurfacing or fillers to help smooth out the lines heavy roles bring about.

Bad Boy Colin Farrell arrived at the Oscars looking as carefully undone as always. But has his look changed over the years as his behavior improves? It may be possible that the actor had a rhinoplasty, as the tip of his nose is more pinched than it used to be. Dr. Nassif agrees, pointing out some tell-tale signs of a nose job. “Colin Farrell possibly had a rhinoplasty based on deep alar creases and a pinched tip.” In the event that a rhinoplasty was done on Colin, the procedure gives the notorious actor a softer look, somewhat out of step with his Alpha-male persona.

Unlike some of the leading women, the men of the Oscars remain relatively plastic surgery-free, with the exception of some minor alterations that help them appear to age well. In the future, Make Me Heal recommends that these actors consider the knife or at least non-surgical treatments such as laser treatments, thermage, and injection fillers like Botox and Juvederm to maintain their good looks.

To say it’s a hair-don’t is to put it kindly. We thought that when Make Me Heal ran a story on the unsightly rug John Travolta sported at last year’s Oscars, he’d do something about it. Instead, he seems to have simply shaved it down for this year’s Oscars.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul S. Nassif reports, “John Travolta doesn’t look like he has hair transplant. It does look like he is wearing some sort of hairpiece.” Unfortunately, although it’s likely an expensive system and requires a lot of maintenance, it’s not doing its job if the world can still see it as a piece and not hair.

Presenter John Travolta was joined at the Oscars by fellow hair-loss sufferer, Tom Hanks, who was also a presenter this year. Unlike John Travolta, Tom Hanks went with “a natural appearing hair transplant with single hair units in the frontal region. Hair remains receding in the temporal region,” according to Dr. Nassif. Hair transplants are more costly and require a lot of maintenance, unlike many hair systems. But they can be worth it in the long run, as they are designed to regrow hair where it has been lost due to male pattern baldness.

Although they are both wonderful veteran actors, both John Travolta and Tom Hanks have a long way to go before they can boast wonderful hair.

Best Supporting Actress Winner Tilda Swinton was striking in a flowing caftan-like dress at Sunday’s Oscar ceremony. But what was even more striking to Make Me Heal was the total lack of wrinkles and lines on the 47-year old actress’ forehead. Make Me Heal suspects an injectable filler such as Botox to be responsible for the flawless forehead.

Celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul Nassif agrees with our assumption, and tells Make Me Heal, “Tilda has a perfectly smooth forehead, I am thinking she’s had Botox.” The lack of lines is especially noticeable when the actress makes facial expressions, which shows deep crow’s feet around the eyes, yet retains a wrinkle-free forehead. Otherwise, it seems that Tilda Swinton is naturally blessed with good genes that give her an unusually taut neck and jawline for her age and she has not resorted to any other noticeable plastic surgery.

Botox is a basic staple of the preparation of actor nominees hitting the red carpet, so it could be that the Botox injections are a new beauty accessory for Tilda, because the actress was sporting some lines in her forehead as recently as 2007.

In either case, Make Me Heal was pleased to see the amazing actress honored and looks forward to more of Tilda’s work.

Becoming a mother may not be the only change Jessica Alba’s body has gone through recently. From her early days as television’s Dark Angel to her recent walk down the Oscar’s red carpet on Sunday, Jessica Alba’s breasts may have been augmented with plastic surgery, not impending motherhood.

As Alba’s popularity has grown from sci-fi heroine to movie star, her body has slimmed down, but her breasts have not. Make Me Heal consulted plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia about the possibility of a breast augmentation, who has also noted the change in the beauty’s body.

“Her [Jessica Alba] newer images seem very suggestive of small implants. Just a few years ago she seemed to have next to nothing breast-wise,” says Dr. Di Saia. In any case, if breast implants are in the mix, the enhancements are well done and small enough to suit the small frame of the actress. It appears that Jessica has augmented from small B cup breasts to a medium C breast size.

On the other hand, Jessica Alba’s breasts, though noticeably perky, could also be due to a flattering wardrobe of push-up bras and inserts as opposed to plastic surgery. Or maybe, she was fortunate enough to lose weight everywhere but her breasts, making her chest appear fuller than before. And of course pregnancy always helps enhance the chest region as well.

Whether or not Jessica Alba has undergone breast augmentation, Make Me Heal wishes the Oscar presenter well on her impending journey of motherhood.
