According to my “Palmer Beauty Principles” Jessica is a real beauty scoring 99 points out of a possible perfect 100! Now that’s good-looking!
Other Beauty Idols in Hollywood also […]
I’ve been in my share of entertainment meetings this past year for my projects, and the kids….not every meeting winds up being productive. Case in point…the meeting with a local record producer with Ashton yesterday. He talked over us…confused us…and Ashton didn’t care much for the whole thing. I agree! But hey, that’s show biz. […]
Just when I thought it was safe for me to relax….just when I thought that plastic & cosmetic surgery and beauty enhancement treatments were so “in the news” that people must have a basic understanding of what’s what…I see someone in consultation that prooves me wrong! I saw a patient from out of town yesterday for a […]
More and more of our patients are opting to do their plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures under a local infiltration without anesthesia. It seems that people don’t want that woozy feeling that you get after a general anesthetic…the nausea….the groggy feeling…who needs it! We have been performing more and more surgeries under a novacaine-like injection.
Procedures […]
Liposuction case today….removed almost 5,000cc’s that’s 5 liters of fat. Let me tell you that Liposuction is hard work for the surgeon. The premise behind Liposuction, in case anyone doesn’t already know, is the removeal of unwanted fat. Like any fat is ever really wanted! I use a method called Tumescent Liposuction. Tumescent means that a […]

I’m going back on my soap box because….I just can’t take it anymore! In my 16 years of practice as a Beverly Hills Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon, I have heard and seen many things but lately I’m increasing disturbed by what I am seeing. People are falling prey to fake treatments and bogus beauty products. Case in […]
One of my cases today was a young woman who wanted fuller cheeks and lips. She traveled here for a consultation, some months ago, from across the country. Unsure of what she needed, she like many pf my patients was looking to me for specific suggestions on how she could be more attractive. I evaluated […]
Exciting day here today. VIP surgery (celebrity, public figure, roaylty, captain of industry?) and then did a case with a TV film crew. From the VIP case where secrecy is paramount…to the oepnness of doing surgery with a film crew filming everything.
As the VIP is leaving…the film crew is setting up in another portion of […]
Breast Augmentation in Celebrities has been in the news lately.
Did several Breast Augmentations today. It’s amazing how nice the patients look after the surgery. I prefer placing the Breast Implants below the muscle if at all possible….it looks more natural and allows for more options in the future.
Breasts are making a huge comeback…no pun intended. We […]
Every so often, Celebrity Rhinoplasty (Nose Jobs) make the news, so I thought I’d talk a bit about Rhinoplasty or Nasal Surgery. Was in the OR today doing a revision Rhinoplasty. I did the procedure Open, which means I place an inverted V shaped incision in the front of the nose half way between the […]
Seems like people are listening to Sinom Cowel after all. American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks, is about to wash that grey right outta his hair! That’s right, he’s slowly getting the grey hair dyed out to black…and this is national news on the Beauty front. Remember what I said in previous posts….Beauty sells and American […]
I saw a tummy tuck, for a psot-op visit and started to remove some of the stitches. The stitches around the belly button are removed about 9-10 days after the surgery. I’ve been using dissolveable stitches for everything else. She has some numbness over the entire abdomen, which becomes completely normal at about 3 months postop. […]
This is a further update on my post a couple of days ago regarding counterfiet Botox and other Plastic & Cosmetic Materials like Restylane. A lady in Monterey died from fake Botox that was injected by her hair stylist! I warned you that it was “Buyer Beware” out there in the beauty business, but when hair […]
Well, Simon Cowel, of American Idol fame, is back on the news wire again today for saying that Eva Longoria is hot. That’s not a news flash. Everyone knows Eva is gorgeous. Using my Palmer Beauty Principles, Eva scores a perfect 100 out of a possible 100….right up there with Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie. […]
Big news on the wire today seems to be the offhanded comment Simon made to an over sized female singer on American Idol….so the media is asking “is there a bias in the entertainment business?” Yes American Idol is the entertainment business…very big business to be sure for a hit of that magnitude. To this […]
I know that I have frequently written posts on my Custom Mini Facelifts but geez…I am doing them an unbelievable amount. Seems people are more interested in looking better right now, with little downtime, than in looking 15 years younger and a larger surgery. I’m serious…I’m doing 5 Minilifts in the next 2 days. These […]
Saw that counterfeit Botox was back in the news yesterday! How timely. I just posted a message, not 2 days earlier, about bogus Restylane being marketed here in the US. It seems that the Botox investigation is widening in Florida as the government goes after the source and doctors who try to order the knock off […]
You can read my post on ABC’s new hit series “Miracle Workers” in the News Flash section. It’s sure to be a smash hit. I’m off to the OR this morning to do one of our most popular Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery procedures….The Minilift with Injection of Radiesse to shape the cheeks. This combination can […]
ABC’s show “Miracle Workers” is sure to be a hit. From the riveting stories to the dramatic operating room scenes and the tearful triumphs…what’s not to like? As I watched the show, last night, it struck me that miracles, small and large, happen every day in medicine all around the world. They may not have […]
Young women have the power to attract attention from men and other women. The more attractive the young woman, the more attention she receives. As women age, they slowly notice that they are not receiving as much attention as they used to…and they don’t like it! That was the gist of the discussion between a […]
WOW! I have to make major decisions on several key entertainment items that, I believe, will have significant impact on my career. It’s so strange that it’s not enough to be a highly trained, skilled, experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon…you have to be media savvy and camera ready as well.
I actually have taken the role […]
You can look 10 years younger with a Minilift, Radiesse Injections to sculpt the Cheeks and fill in the Nasolabial folds under local infiltration with Lidocaine in less than 90 minutes. The very next day you can put your hair down in front of your ears and go out….go back to work, really!!
I use […]
Tag this one under ” Buyer Beware”… Had lunch with the Beverly Hills area Restylane sales rep at a very trendy sushi restaurant and during our conversation he mentioned that bootleg Restylane was found in the US. Now for those of you unfamiliar with Restylane, it’s a great soft tissue filler that’s injected into facial […]
March 8, 2006: I have been doing Botox Injections to soften lines around the mouth for over 10 years. It really works on those nasty vertical lip lines…you know the ones that seem to get worse every year and defy ever treatment know to mankind. You’ve tried Lasers, chemical peels and a whole host of […]
March 7, 2006: I saw the lady that had the Tummy Tuck yesterday…see that post…for her first post-op visit. She has 2 bulb drains under the skin over the abdomen to remove any excess blood and serous fluid. These typically remain in for 3-4 days after the surgery. She’s also wearing an abdominal binder. It’s like a girdle […]
Celebrities are getting facelifts, Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation in post-production!
Now I don’t want to burst any bubbles so close to Hollywood’s big night but it seems that the celebs are getting a liitle help in the digital realm. That’s right, yours truly, the good doctor, has administered more than a little help to some celebs images using […]
Am I the only one that wonders what happened to all the plastic surgery makeover shows? They seem to have fallen off the planet despite very favorable ratings? Well it’s going around the rumor mill that lawsuits filed by, less than thrilled, makeover recipients may be the cause. I have mixed feelings about this if […]
I had the privilege of doing a Tummy Tuck on a lovely woman this morning. You know the story, she’s had a couple of kids and the pregnacies stretched her abdominal muscles like crazy. Years later and she’s sick and tired of the pouch over her stomach and the loose skin. Not a problem. An […]
Now that I wrote a bit about the Oscars and the Celebs…..it’s time for me to go earn my keep. I’m off to the OR to do a Tummy Tuck for a lovely woman who hates the excess skin on her abdomen. After several kids, the abdominal muscles are loose (no amount of sit ups will […]
Well the Oscars were full of glitz and glitter as the modern day royalty ( our celebrities ) strutted their stuff down the red carpet. I, for one, still noticed some beauties that seem to have missed the news that the severely skinny, “I only eat lettuce for meals” look is unattractive. I thought that […]
Friday 3/3/06: Man oh man…let’s call the last couple of days “Plump, Fill and Freeze”. It seems that the whole world was here getting Restylane, Collagen or Radiesse to their lips, various folds, lines and wrinkles. I put enough Botox in faces to single handedly raise the price of Allergan stock (Allergan is the company […]

Tuesday 2/28/06: Debugging both websites…aargh, what a pain. Skin care website http://www.FRBH.Com has an old version on the servers and the plastic surgery site http://www.drfpalmer.com has broken contact links….who said this was the golden age of communication? It’s not enough to be a well trained plastic & cosmetic surgeon, I have to be a techy […]
