There is no question that most of the before and after pictures I have been asked to review (Megan Fox, Meg Ryan, Katie Price, Courtney Love, Oksana Grigorieva and Lesley Ashe) and (Erica Chevillar, Amy Winehouse, Tanya Tucker) tend to demonstrate that these patients have all undergone some type of augmentation. Lips in the former group, and breasts in the latter.
What concerns me is the distorted aesthetic imbalances that I see and the resultant ridicule that these people in the public eye have had to suffer because of the inability of the proceduralist to perform basic cosmetic tasks. Though the perception of facial beauty is "in the eye of the beholder," some qualities, features, and proportions are universally esteemed.
