Bad celebrity plastic surgery
You only see bad bad plastic surgery. There are plenty of celebrities who have had plastic surgery and you will never hear about who their doctor is, because they quietly get their work done and don't publicize it. They just look great for their age.
Many well publicized cases of plastic surgery gone wrong are the result of silicone face and lip injections performed by dermatologists or unscrupulous practitioners.
Celebrities in the limelight live under tremendous pressure to be...

A good facelift is not immediately appreciated
Don't you feel sorry for Kenny Rogers or Melanie Griffith?
I do, and while I used to be confused as to why they were unable to get excellent plastic surgery, I have come to realize that being a star doesn't imply common sense and resourcefulness.
The reality is- it is in fact possible to get a natural appearing facelift. Now some of the final result is dependent on some inherent facial characteristics: skin thickness; bone structure; elasticity of the skin are the three big ones, as well...

Good Plastic Surgery is rarely noticed; Bad Plastic Surgery Screams at you
The answer to your question is threefold. Many of the results you may be referring to come from a different era in Hollywood and Plastic Surgery. Facelifts were performed in a way that did not respect the limitations or boundaries of the procedure (Ethel Merman's mouth for example). This may be related to poor judgment on the part of the surgeon, unrealistic expectations on the part of the celebrity, or both. My second point relates to Dr. Aldea's: socially popular Plastic Surgeons are...

Some Celebrities go to BAD Surgeons!
Celebrities believe in what they sell - media exposure. Celebrity surgeons who are prominently seen in the media are automatically considered by the public to be something special. Almost everyone assumes they are skilled as surgeons, when quite often this is not the case. Many have just average surgical skills. What they are skilled at is culling media exposure - either by paying for it or having an esoteric personality that is interesting to watch. The deficits in...

In Plastic Surgery you don't always get what you pay for
What you are seeing are the worst of the worst results. These results are a combination of what the surgeon sees as an acceptable outcome to a facelift and what the client/patient has asked that surgeon to produce. Both parties should probably take a step back and have a good look at the outcomes.
Although there are many talented surgeons performing facelift surgery with beautiful results, there are many who have marketed themselves to such a degree that they have created a perception and...

It's the emperor's new facelift
I assure you, the fact that celebrities get horrible work does not bode well for regular folks getting great work.
Remember that most general plastic surgeons get very little training in comsetic surgeon while in their residencies. A number of forward thinking individuals go on to do aesthetic fellowship. However, many general plastic surgeon simply hang out their shingle and try to figure out cosmetic surgery on their own or by taking weekend courses. This is a tough way to learn. Some...

Celebrity plastic surgery
Celeb facelifts or any celeb plastic surgery for that matter is not the gold standard. They've chosen someone who they can relate to, someone who they heard is the best or the most popular but this is not necessarily someone who performs the best technique in plastic surgery. They look bad because they've had operations that don't make anatomical sense. A facelift must actually lift up and not sideways, it must be done from the deeper tissues and not just the skin. If the skin is pulled,...

Celebrity facelifts
It is amazing that a star who has endless disposable income (and even deducts their cosmetic surgery on their taxes as a business expense!) would fall into the hands of any but the best plastic surgeons. But the results are there to see on TV specials and in the magazines.
I think many young "real" plastic surgeons as well as "pretend" plastic surgeons set up shop in Beverly Hills and promote themselves heavily and some even seem to believe in their press releases and...

Celebrity plastic surgery gone wrong: Actors/Actresses/Stars may make bad cosmetic choices
I p[onder the same question myself. Drs. Prendiville and Aldea bring up great points to which I would like to add. As stated, you probably don't notice the good ones and that is part of the problem because the few bad ones you see can be terrifying. In an industry that is based predominantly on appearance, it is no doubt that plastic surgery is prevalent in Hollywood. The pressure is on to look good forever and surgery begins early. Clearly, actresses are having surgery at younger and...

Bad celebrity facelifts
Those studio lights are unforgiving. Secondly, celebrities, regardless of what they pay for plastic surgery, are human beings and are just as likely to have less than outstanding results than the rest of the population. In an industry where youth is paramount, some people also don't know when to stop and, particularly with a celebrity clientele, their doctors may be loathe to tell them to the contrary.
