COSMETIC SURGERY WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU LOOK BETTER AND REFRESHED, NOT TOTALLY DIFFERENT. “IN MY OPINION, YOUNGER PATIENTS NEED MINIMAL INJECTABLES, GOOD SKIN CARE AND SURGERY ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY,” SAYS DR. SCHWARTZ. DR. SINGER ADDS, “THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE SURGERY DONE AND MAY

WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS: “She has this overfilled and overdone look that’s becoming very commonplace today,” says Dr. Biesman. “Her lips and cheeks are full and her skin is almost too smooth.
