A Little Botox for Paula?

For all of you American Idol watchers out there, this photo of Paula Abdul from Dlisted.com does appear to show some Botox working well to prevent wrinkles between her eyebrows (the glabella). It looks like she's trying to grimace but can't. This is exactly what Botox (or Dysport) can do to prevent the "11" sign between the eyebrows.

Go Adam Lambert!

Has Paula Abdul Had More Plastic Surgery?

Like millions of people, I watch American Idol. Like millions of people, I think that Paula Abdul has a screw loose. And, like millions of people, I also think she's had some plastic surgery.

I've commented in a previous post about her possible browlift and rhinoplasty (click here for the post) and in a separate post about her possible breast implants (click here for that post). Is it possible that she's had another rhinoplasty sometime during AI's hiatus? I think it is.

The photo above appears to show a nose that is a bit longer and thinner than she had last year. Cityrag has some before and after photos here. I think she may have had a slight tweak to her nose. Lengthening a nose isn't the easiest thing to do, and often requires moving a piece of cartilage from the ear, nasal septum, or rib to the nose.

Overall she looks as pretty as ever. At least her surgeon didn't make her nose go "Straight Up!"

Paula Abdul - Plastic Surgery?

TMZ.com recently posted these 'before and after' photos of singer / American Idol judge Paula Abdul. I see two major plastic surgery possibilities. First, her nose looks thinner and shorter, possibly due to a rhinoplasty. Second, her eyebrows appear to have that arched "Botox Brow" look. Click here to see a video of a TMZ paparrazzi ask her about plastic surgery. Maybe someday she will be 'straight up' and admit to some plastic surgery?

Paula Abdul

What happened to Paula Abdul's breasts? Her breasts in this photo obviously look pretty droopy, but there appears to be an unnatural sagging in her cleavage. This look can be seen with breast implants which are a bit heavy and cause the skin to stretch downward. This happens more often with larger implants (greater than 400cc) and with people who have weak breast tissue (older women or women who have lost a lot of weight). It is possible that we are just seeing a 44 year old woman's naturally droopy breasts, but in my opinion this is more likely the result of sagging caused by implants, likely placed on top of the muscle. The treatment is simple: breast lift (mastopexy). That would bring the implants and breasts back "Straight Up." I wonder what Simon would say about this?
