Kenny Rodgers didn't know when to hold 'em



There has been a epidemic of poor celebrity cosmetic surgery. Poor Kenny Rodgers and Burt Reynolds. These two gentlemen are a result of a doctor thinking in a vacuum. Although they had multiple procedures done, the upper third of the face may be the most telling. The position of the brow varies by culture, fashion age and gender.

In Mediterranean, Hispanic, and Latin origins a high arched brow is usually desirable.
In Caucasian females the lateral (side closest to the ears) 1/3 should be elevated. In men the brow is low, level in symmetry with the boney orbital rim.

Actors or any patient who we are accustomed to seeing a certain way cannot stray from their norm without looking awkward. Doctors cannot think and react always what the textbook tells you. That separates doctors from technicians. Technically the procedures may have been done correctly, but it certainly does not fit their faces

Can it be fixed? Of course. Almost every week I have a patient present with a 'botched surgery" . Sometimes the corrections are in multiple stages and takes creative thinking but most things can be fixed. In these cases, relaxing incisions under the skin are needed and sometimes skin grafts or tissue expansion is needed as well.
