Barbra Streisand Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos


Superstar diva Barbra Streisand has had plastic surgery - after years of insisting she'd never go under the knife.

The 61-year-old singer and actress was so intent on keeping her surgery secret, she wore a black scarf over her face covered by a hat - but American tabloid the NATIONAL ENQUIRER snapped her as she was leaving the clinic.
A source says, "Barbra Streisand said she was going to be off the scope for a few weeks to relax because she was so stressed out. She wanted everyone to notice her new look, but she wanted it to look natural like she had gone to a spa for a long rest. She got exfoliated, went on a liquid diet and started to do yoga."

Barbra brought her spiritual adviser to the Beverly Hills, California, office with her on 30 July (03) to calm her nerves.
The source explains, "Barbra was very jittery. Her female spiritual healer did everything she could to keep her calm.Barbra Streisand and the healer said positive prayers and chanted to stay focused.

"They meditated and listened to soothing music. By the time she went under the knife, Barbra was calm."
Barbra Streisand must have seen those terrible pictures of herself that came out recently, or maybe she just wants to spruce up for her latest concert comeback. Regardless she’s seen outside a plastic surgeon’s office clutching a juice box while covered in a black veil.
It will take more than surgery to fix Babs. Maybe she should call Madonna and get some tips on how to slim down while cashing in on tired old gimmicks to sell out concerts. Barbra Streisand desperately needs the help, her high-priced concert tickets aren’t selling well and her longterm fans are pissed at paying big bucks for her last tour, which she claimed was her final one.

Barbie Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos


She’s one of the most widely viewed and discussed women on the Internet but now the Ukranian model known as the “human Barbie” for her doll-like figure is speaking out to deny rumors of rampant plastic surgery and reveal her higher purpose in life.
“Some people even spread rumors about me and retouch my pictures to hurt me. But I don’t take them seriously,” Valeria Lukyanova tells V Magazine.  “I’m even flattered! It’s what success is like. I’m happy I seem unreal to them, it means I’m doing a good job.”

Lukyanova, also an artist and singer, first made headlines in April when photos of her seemingly inhuman-like proportions were posted on websites like Jezebel.com and Huffington Post and quickly went viral.  Commenters questioned whether Lukyanova was manufactured and, if she was real, how much plastic surgery she must have undergone to get her impossibly whittled waist, buxom chest and symmetrical features.

A spokesman for Lukyanova told ABC News the only plastic surgery she has had is a breast enhancement.  The “human Barbie” herself told V Magazine she achieves her look with makeup.

“Many people say bad things about people who want to perfect themselves. It’s hard work, but they dismiss it as something done by surgeons or computer artists,” she tells V.  “This is how they justify not wanting to strive for self-improvement. It’s how they explain their continued inaction. It’s just an excuse. There are plenty of video clips on the Internet showing what I really look like.”

Also revealed in the extensive interview for the magazine’s new issue, on newsstands Nov. 15, is Lukyanova’s deeply-held belief in the metaphysical and spiritual worlds, including her belief that the titles of singer, model and artist are just “labels for my creative potential,” not her “true essence.”

“I’m a teacher at the School of Out-of-Body Travel. It’s an international school in which our instructors show students how to leave their physical body and travel in their spiritual body, where you can visit any place on the planet and in the universe,” she says.  “I know that this is the future of mankind and that it has huge potential. Hidden reserves will be tapped soon. ”

Lukyanova says her spiritual name is Amatue, an Atlantean reference to the goddess of the sun.

Though she describes herself as the “most famous woman of the Russian-speaking Internet,” Lukyanova says she is unfazed by the attention over her looks.
“I know the other side of celebrity is negativity, but I see it in a positive light,” she tells V.  “If people care about me, then I am on the right path. In real life, I never hear bad things.”

“Indeed, I’ve noticed a trend,” she continues. “Every good-looking woman with fine features and a slim figure looks like a doll. I won’t deny that I play along with people’s perceptions. I’m amused by the reactions. I don’t take it seriously.”


We were totally impressed when we saw Promise Tamang Phan, who, using only makeup, can turn herself into nearly any celebrity. But turning yourself into someone else using plastic surgery? That's taking things to a whole other level.

Meet Valeria Lukyanova, a 21-year-old Ukrainian model who has made herself up into a real-life Barbie. Thanks to Jezebel, we were made aware of Lukyanova's prolific web presence, which includes thousands of photos of the model looking, well, like a Barbie.

Lukyanova's got the long, straight blonde hair, the flawless ivory skin, the wide-eyed look and the heart-shaped mouth. Even more unbelievable, however, is her tiny, seemingly carved-out waist and her disproportionally large chest. It may not be scientifically exact, but Lukyanova comes close to real-life Barbie proportions.

Valeria's Tumblr does include some relatively natural-looking photos (and a video of her without any makeup). But then there are those where, covered in layers of makeup and possibly Photoshop, she looks truly plastic.

Has Valeria achieved her Mattel-made look through surgery? This newsreel suggests so, although we've seen other wannabe dolls get the Barbie look through makeup alone.

Then again, this woman paid over $800,000 to look like Barbie. So it's not out of the realm of possibility.

See the stunning photos of the real-life Barbie below there's plenty more where that come from on on Tumblr, VK.com and Valeria's own website, amatue21.com. What do you think of her doll-faced look?

Barbi Twins Plastic Surgery Before and After Cheek and Lips


Another Plastic Nightmare – The Barbi Twins

Named after the Barbi doll no less – a plastic phony reality. With unbelievable dimensions and extreme hair and postures these twins represent well the excesses of the superficial 90s. From a distance, and with the help of lighting, makeup and photography, everything looked great, if a little surreal in their photos. But looking a little closer and you might be a little frightened. Butts, cheeks, and lips of plastic, they are Frakensteinas of surgery. Let us not ask what might be altered, is any of it real? With those wide-eyes and strange faces it makes you believe even more that if you pricked them with a needle all the air would come hissing out as they deflate.
The barbi twins had extreme plastic surgery to look like real life barbi dolls... and TWO OF THEM!!! These girls look exactly alike before and after cosmetic surgery. It seems like this whole "look like a doll or superhero" thing is getting a little out of hand. But, two people doing it together brings it to a whole new level.

The Barbi Twins resurface

The Barbi Twins were 90s Playboy pinups. They appeared on MTV, Sallie Jesse Raphael, and made a host of other TV appearances. They are also known for discussing their long running problem with food addiction, bulimia, and exercise bulimia.

When they first emerged, they claimed to be ‘all natural’ and to have never had plastic surgery of any kind, even though their photos said otherwise.
The twins are back in the public eye again, now looking even more plastic. The lip enhancement is a pretty obvious addition to their appearance. Their facial skin looks super tight and the ladies are not young. Also, their noses look even more shaved down.

Barbara Walters Plastic Surgery Before and After Cheek Implants and Facelift


Barbara Walters stepped out recently, looking very unlike her usual self. Her face is much tighter and puffier then it was last year and it appears that she has had a bit of a plastic surgery tune up:
My best guess is that Barbara had a mini facelift and a lot of facial fillers recently and she isn’t completely healed yet. Once the swelling fully subsides, I think that Barbaras recent surgeries will actually look very natural. The fillers have softened her sunken eyes and gaunt cheeks, but come on, she’s 82…and Barbara Walters! She should cut herself a break and skip the plastic surgery.

Always being on television must mean a lot of pressure to look good. Surrendering to said pressure, Barbara Walters has gotten a whole new look with plastic surgery – and the difference between before and after the intervention is startling.

For a couple of weeks now, there’s been a lot of talk about Barbara’s new face, which appears extremely tight and unnatural looking – and completely different from her “old” one.

The Daily Mail is just one of the publications to point to it, speculating that the television personality must have had a full facelift and some other minor interventions in her bid to erase the signs of time.

“With her career still going strong you can’t blame Barbara Walters for wanting to maintain her on-camera appearance,” the British tab writes.

“The 82-year-old television host and veteran journalist recently debuted what appears to be a freshly-tightened face sparking rumors that she went under the knife,” says the same media outlet.

Radar Online agrees, after speaking with plastic surgeons about Walters’ altered looks. While they have never treated the star, they believe her new face is so strange looking because of a combination of a plastic surgery and too much filler.

One Beverly Hills plastic surgeon offers an explanation.
Barbara Walters appears to have had another facelift combined with way too much fat or filler injections,” Dr. Ashkan Ghavami says.

He calls the intervention “the last straw” in plastic surgery, saying she looks overdone, just like Melanie Griffith also does.

However, he believes her face hasn’t settled yet and that it’s still showing some post-operative swelling.

“The combination of excess pull and too much fat transfer are likely the culprits here,” Dr. Ghavami adds, stressing that Walters had too much fat removed from under her eyelids, which caused an “A line” deformity.

Walters hasn’t addressed rumors of getting work done yet, but there’s no denying that she had something done. Pictures really are worth a thousand words.

Barbara Walters was looking decidedly youthful while attending the London wedding of her cousin Nancy Shevell, who married Paul McCartney on Sunday.
We must admit that when we saw the photos of Babs showering the newlyweds with confetti, we weren’t convinced that the images were properly identified.

The 82-year-old television journalist and host of The View has certainly had her share of plastic surgery.  Her face has remained virtually wrinkle free, especially in the later years, despite the fact that she is in her ninth decade.

We’ve pulled together photos that show her famous face back in the 2003-2005 time frame.  The changes are subtle but when compared to the pics from this weekend, it looks like she picked up some cheek implants somewhere along the way.

Barbara Hershey Plastic Surgery Before and After Facelift and Cosmetic Surgery

It was reported that Barbara Hershey had an extensive face lift after her relationship with her significant other, Naveen Andrews, was severed or terminated in May 2013.

They were in a committed relationship for 12 years. Although Naveen was twenty-one years younger than Hershey, in photographs, they looked almost the same age. This was suggested that Hershey’s perpetual youth may have been the result of her use of rejuvenation procedures such as fillers to provide her with a smooth, shiny, creaseless, sculptured looking forehead, and wrinkle free face.
Some say the skin on her face is unnaturally taut and has an eerie plastic appearance.

One doctor from Manhattan, who has not personally treated Barbara Hershey himself alleges and unequivocally believes that she may have recently undergone a major face-lift in order to look younger after her breakup with Naveen and for the role of Natalie Portman’s mom in Black Swan.

Has Barbara Hershey Had Cosmetic Surgery?
Barbara Hershey was born Barbara Herzstein on February 5, 1948, in Hollywood, California, to Arnold Norman, a horse-racing columnist and Melrose Herzstein.
Barbara was lanky, thin, and painfully shy, although by the age of ten she distinguished herself as an “A” student.
She was very quiet; many assumed she was deaf. She was given the name Sarah Bernhardt because of her dramatic performances in the backyard.

Did Barbara Hershey have plastic surgery?

The Chicago Tribune referred to Hershey as “one of America’s finest actresses.”

She earned an Emmy and a Golden Globe award for her role in a mini series entitled A Small Town In Miami and an Academy Award nomination for Portrait of a Lady. Additionally, she won an award for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ for her portrayal of Mary Magdalene. She won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Shy People.

Hershey was featured in Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters and many other less memorable films, television movies, and several television series. It is aptly stated and validated to be true that Hershey is a “great little actress, not just a pretty face”. However, she did not attain professional acclaim, recognition for her gift, or success until after almost twenty years into her career had passed.

In the movie, Beaches Barbara’s cosmetically augmented, lush, and full lips stole the show. Comedian Steve Harvey referred to her as “that little big lipped girl”.

Erma Brombeck stated in an article: “I have no idea what ‘Beaches‘ was all about. All I could focus on was Barbara Hershey’s lips. She looked like she stopped off at a gas station and someone said, ‘your lips are down 30 pounds. Better let me hit ‘em with some air.’”

Barbara admits that she received collagen injections for her role in “Beaches” and not as part of any longer term or permanent cosmetic enhancement.  Her lips returned to normal soon afterwards.

Like other famous actors and actresses (see Bethenny Frankel and Kim K plastic surgery), it has been reported that she has received several touch-ups over the years.

Barbara Hershey’s Plastic Surgery After Break-Up

It was reported that Barbara Hershey had an extensive face lift after her relationship with her significant other, Naveen Andrews, was severed or terminated in May 2010.

They were in a committed relationship for 12 years. Although Naveen was twenty-one years younger than Hershey, in photographs, they looked almost the same age. This was suggested that Hershey’s perpetual youth may have been the result of her use of rejuvenation procedures such as fillers to provide her with a smooth, shiny, creaseless, sculptured looking forehead, and wrinkle free face.

One doctor from Manhattan, who has not personally treated Barbara Hershey himself alleges and unequivocally believes that she may have recently undergone a major face-lift in order to look younger after her breakup with Naveen and for the role of Natalie Portman’s mom in Black Swan.

Her look could have conceivably influenced movie decision makers to decide in her favor.

The Oscar nominated movie, Black Swan was released earlier this year. The movie was excellent but the Hershey’s look left some wondering whether it is an example of plastic surgery gone bad as the “after” result left a lot to be desired; it looked a bit unnatural and ‘plastic’.  Kenny Rogers’ cosmetic surgery falls into the same category.
