Donatella Versace is undoubtedly a worldwide fashion icon. Celebrities in the fashion industry are noted for their ever-changing looks but the transformation in this case is like chalk and cheese. This photo is a comparison of Donatella Versace before and after numerous plastic surgery procedures. It looks like two completely different women. Although the one on the left is definitely less scary.

Donatella Versace's plastic surgery included a facelift, botox, lip injections, nose job and breast implants

The Vice-President and Chief Designer at the Versace Group has extensive work done to her face, nose and lips especially. She looks like a human cartoon or someone drawn in caricature. Recently, she underwent a huge loss in weight which also revealed the presence of previously unnoticed breast implants.

There seems to be a trend with a lot of female celebrities in America when they turn 40 years old. They all seem to get breast implants or some other form of plastic surgery. Look no further than part African-American and part Native American actress Vivica Fox. She is of course well known for her roles in hit films such as Kill Bill, Set It Off and Independence Day.

Vivica Fox Dent In Breast Implants

There is a very discernable dent in her breast where the implants have settled unevenly. That must be so embarrassing for Vivica Fox. These cringeworthy photos were taken when turned up on the red carpet at an awards show with a revealing dress that displayed a far from impressive boob job.

Heidi Montag is the 23 year-old star in the reality TV show “The Hills”.  Not surprisingly, her looks have been altered a fair bit over the past few years. Heidi Montag admitted in an interview with “People” magazine that she is addicted to plastic surgery. She claimed she had ten cosmetic surgery procedures performed on her in one day during November 2009. Although a lot of the work has been gradual and well-performed, her chest does look obviously fake and artificial.

Heidi Montag Addicted to Plastic Surgery

In the People magazine article, Heidi Montag revealed that her plastic surgeries have included a nose job, chin reduction, botox injections in her forehead, neck liposuction, ear pinning, a mini brow lift, fat injections in her cheeks, lip collagen injections, liposuction on her waist, hips, and inner and outer thighs, buttock augmentation and breast enlargement surgery. You name it, she’s done it! Heidi Montag’s obsession with plastic surgery has placed her in danger of serious health complications or even death, as plastic surgery procedures can cause both.

According to “People”, Heidi Montag did not even tell her family about her plans to undergo so many plastic surgery procedures. She seems truly obsessed with plastic surgery and there will come a point where too much cosmetic surgery will make her look awful and it may even leave her scarred.

In 2009, the transferring of the Miss Universe crown from one Venezuelan to another, from 2008 winner Dayana Mendoza to Stefania Fernandez, caused a sensation in the world of beauty pageants. It was the sixth time Venezuela had won the Miss Universe crown in the 59-year history of the pageant. It was also the first occasion that the same country had claimed the title twice in a row.

Venezuela’s afterglow from winning yet another Miss Universe crown has definitely spurred its women to the more widespread application of cosmetic surgery. Surgical enhancement of the body has become such a norm in Venezuela these days that it has cause the country to emerge as a top destination for “scalpel tourism”. Foreigners looking for either breast implants, a lift to certain parts of their body or those who want to shape new contours via plastic surgery can do so in Venezuela at relatively cheaper prices.

“There are patients who come from Colombia, the USA, Ecuador and the Caribbean islands. They have plastic surgery and then spend a few days on vacation” explained Rosi Oyon, head of a French subsidiary selling silicone breast implants.

Denials that their superhuman beauty is anything but due to Mother nature, is par for the course in the beauty pageant world, but for certain plastic surgeons there is no doubt that Stefania Fernandez had a little help.

“I didn’t operate on her, but I am sure that she has had work. They all have,” Daniel Slobodianik, a plastic surgeon who has helped several Venezuelan celebrities better fill out a bikini, said.

Vanessa Brito, a 27-year-old Caracas resident who had breast implants fitted five years ago, explained that surgery was common for women from all walks of life.

“I think there’s a social pressure in Venezuela, a beauty ideal that can be seen in contests like the one for Miss Universe. And seeing that, everyone wants to look the same,” she said.

Laura Gonzalez, a 19-year-old student, agreed. Over the past four years she has had a nose job and a breast enlargement.

“This goes beyond the Miss Universe contest. Venezuelan women love to look good. We love to get our hair done, to dress well. A woman needs to feel good about herself, and it’s something that has really influenced me,” she said.

“Venezuelan woman are among the most vain in the world. Beauty is considered a basic necessity,” Arturo Rojas, the head of another breast implant supplier in Venezuela, said.

Girls barely in their teens sometimes receive plastic surgery as a gift from their parents, as in the case of Yudnara, a 13-year-old who made a pre-op trip to a doctor’s office accompanied by her mother.

Even the risk of infection, which can lead to a mastectomy in the case of silicone breast implants, does little to dissuade adolescents from wanting to get plastic surgery done. Breast augmentation surgery is by far the most popular procedure in Venezuela. There has been an estimated 30,000 breast enlargement surgeries carried out each year according to specialists.

“Mammary prostheses are the backbone of Venezuela’s beauty market,” Oyon said.

In this segment of the market, French-made silicone sacs are considered more reliable, are smoother and tend to dominate over their main rivals – US, Brazilian and mainland China products. They account for around 80 per cent of the enhanced busts created. For foreigners visiting to improve their neckline, the difference in cost can be significant. In Caracas, breast enlargement goes for around USD 2,500, compared to several thousands of dollars more in other countries.

Silicone breast implants are not sexy. Especially when the plastic surgeon does not do his job well or doesn’t monitor the implants properly. She needs to ask her plastic surgeon for a refund. When Janet Jackson stepped out in public in this low-cut dress, her cleavage definitely looked bent out of shape.

Janet Jackson Bad Silicone Breast Implants

Janet is already a sexy and respected role model for women. She doesn’t need breast enlargement surgery to make her more attractive or to gain more confidence. These implants take away from her perceived image of a an independent woman with strong self-esteem. It also sends the wrong message to her many young and impressionable fans suggesting that beauty is about going under the knife.
