Is Lindsay Lohan's Half Sister Missing the Point?

This week, Ashley Horn, the 18-year-old half-sister of Lindsay Lohan, spoke out on the shocking reasons for her recent plastic surgery. Stating that her "goal was to look like Lindsay in her good days," Ms. Horn spent about $25,000 on a slew of procedures, including rhinoplasty, fat injections to the face, and "refinement underneath [her] cheeks and jawline."

Here at We Know Beauty, medical network featuring some of the best plastic surgeons in Southern California, truly believe in the power in feeling great about your looks and beauty. However, we do believe that an expert surgeon should never perform plastic surgery to make a patient look like somebody else. A cosmetic surgery should ultimately respect a person's inherent beauty, maintaining a patient's overall symmetry and proportion.

This is why many people come to We Know Beauty for revision rhinoplasty; they were given a one-size-fits-all nose job, perhaps inspired by a certain celebrity, and it ended up not fitting well with their facial structure. In these cases, the expert surgical team at We Know Beauty will get to work on a secondary (sometimes tertiary) rhinoplasty procedure that will get their patients the results they originally wanted.

Of course, it's perfectly fine to want aspects of a celebrity's body, like a nose you like or the toned arms of a celebrity like Jennifer Aniston. We Know Beauty finds the perfect middle ground between the part of your physique you don't like and a carbon copy of a celebrity's body part that might night fit yours. After all, gummy bear breast implants and fat transfer to buttocks procedures can help you get closer to the Kim Kardashian or J-Lo body you want, but ultimately should fit your existing physique.

Here She Comes

When Indian-American medical student to-be Nina Davuluri won the iconic Miss America beauty pageant last Sunday night, a lot of attention was focused on some truly repellent racist tweets issued by, well, repellent racist twits. As unfortunate as that sort of thing is, the shocked reaction to the ignorant bigotry aimed at Ms. Davuluri points to the fact that the face of beauty has permanently changed in a country that -- for the most part, anyway -- is embracing its own diversity. In fact, some observers have pointed out that America appears to be more embracing of uniquely Indian facial features than India is, where beauty standards can be surprisingly Western-influenced.

As board certified plastic surgeons, patients are often ambivalent about changing certain characteristics that may, in their view, be associated with their own ethnicity. Certainly, the popularity of ethnic rhinoplasty, which seeks to improve the appearance of the nose without attempting to erase a patient's ethnic character, has been a key indicator. After all, not so long ago, the standards of beauty were pretty clearly set by people of Anglo-Saxon ancestry. As every fairy tale/Walt Disney fan knows, it was when Snow White was deemed "the fairest of them all" that the Evil Queen became so jealous.

We're happy to say that, today, beauty has a whole new complexion and a great plastic surgery before and after picture of a nose job or eyelid lift can vary a lot depending on the ancestry of the patient. One factor that, we'll all agree, separates the very best plastic surgeons like our amazing doctors at We Know Beauty from others is the ability to understand that beauty runs all kinds of gamuts.

If you think now it might be time to have the very best plastic surgeons in town bring out the best in you, you just might want to call We Know Beauty at 310-300-1500 or visit us www.weknowbeauty.com.

Plastic Surgery in the News: Friday the 13th Edition

We've all heard that the strangest things happen on Friday the 13th, and this news story that just came out is just that: strange!

A New York Fashion Week show presented "Faces of Fashion," which offered Dr. Ramtin Kassir, a tri-state area plastic surgeon, the opportunity to show off his patients. Instead of fashion models walking down the runway, Dr. Kassir's patients took to the catwalk to display the outcomes of their cosmetic procedures. While these "models" walked down the runway, before and after photos flashed on a background screen. Here at We Know Beauty, we consider fashion shows more adept at showcasing, well, fashion...not the place where prospective patients should go to choose if they'd like rhinoplasty or perhaps an eye lift.

At We Know Beauty, we don't pull any gimmicks to get new patients. We focus on hiring the best plastic surgeons who are not only highly-skilled surgeons, but have a flair for artistry to achieve the best patient outcomes. Our board certified plastic surgeons take patient safety as priority #1, while we help patients enhance their natural beauty. Not to mention, all services provided at We Know Beauty are carried out with complete privacy and discretion, as well, so there will never be a parade of We Know Beauty patients!
