Plastic Not So Fantastic?

A famous LA dermatologist who counts lots of film and tv stars among her clientele tells PSFK that famous and almost-famous LA girls in their 20s are flocking to her to get their lips pumped up and reshaped.  She mixes together two new injectibles called Restylane and Cosmoderm to create a much more natural-looking fake lip than was possible with the old collagen injections (which got a bad rap for giving women’s mouths that swollen, Jocelyne Wildenstein-like effect), so there’s no obvious way to tell which stars are getting a little enhancement in this area. 

In Sunday’s New York Times critic Manohla Dargis bemoaned the ever-growing trend of actors "perfecting" their features to the extent that \they cease to look like individuals and even hinder their ability to act (http://www.nytimes.com), but it doesn’t seem like this phenomenon is going anywhere–especially now that dermatologists and plastic surgeons are able to do ever-more-subtle enhancements (protecting their patients from winding up on awfulplasticsurgery.com)
