The size of a womans implants should be in proportion to her shoulders
and hips, explains Dr. Lloyd Krieger of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery,
who did not treat these stars. Pamela's aren't. "She might be a 38H,
if they even make that size!" he says.
....Francoise Rabin came to Beverly Hills several years ago from her
home in London for an "extreme makeover," including a complete nose
reshaping, upper and lower eyelid reconstruction, a mini-face lift,
chin implant, fat repositioning and liposuction. And that wasn't all.
Once outside the operating room, she opted for dental work, spa treatments,
a hair and makeup overhaul, a manicure and pedicure and a new wardrobe
selected from the racks of Rodeo Drive. The middle-aged schoolteacher
was part of a British television show called "Brand New You," which
aired on BBC America. "As I was walking down Rodeo Drive or the beach
and I was being filmed, people were looking to see who it was, and it
was me," she said. "I felt like a queen." Lured in part by similar extreme
makeover TV shows such as E Entertainment's "Dr. 90210" and Fox's "The
Swan," an increasing number of people from across the globe are making
their way to Beverly Hills for cosmetic surgery. But for many of those
visitors, the personal reinvention goes well beyond the work done on
the operating table. In Beverly Hills, which may boast more plastic
surgeons per capita than any other city in the U.S., a cottage industry
has formed that provides packages of far less radical elective procedures
- like clothes shopping sprees, facials or spa treatments - for out-of-towners
bent on enjoying the celebrity makeover experience to the hilt. And
it's not just patients who are lucky enough to be featured on extreme
makeover shows, where their costs are sometimes handled by production
companies.
