Tara Reid Confronts Rumors Over Plastic Surgery
When it comes to cosmetic surgery, many stars still don't admit that they've had work done. But Tara Reid wants everyone to know about the "botched" breast implant and liposuction procedures that left her embarrassed to show her body in public.
"I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted -- I'm not going to lie -- a six-pack," she told Us. "I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing."
Reid unwittingly exposed the disastrous results when she posed for pictures at a November 2004 party and her dress strap fell down. But she was also embarrassed in private moments.
Could It Happen to You?
Reid's botched surgery came as no surprise to one California plastic surgeon."No, not surprising at all," said Dr. Brent Moelleken, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and professor of plastic surgery at the University of California at Los Angeles. "Celebrities ... often do less research than 'normal' patients."
So-called normal patients are not immune to plastic surgery mishaps. The best way to avoid those mishaps is to know that your surgeon is qualified, experts said. Talk to your plastic surgeon, said Moelleken. Ask yourself, "Is he reasonable? Is he telling me what I want to hear rather than what is good for me?" If your plastic surgeon insists on a procedure that doesn't feel right, "run the other way," Moelleken said.
"The most important part of getting a good result from plastic surgery is the surgeon you choose," said Dr. Darrick Antell, spokesman for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
