Make me look like this! Celebrity photos
I always get a kick out of patients bringing in celebrity photos and saying, “make me look like this!” Typically they want a nose like Princess Kate or a booty like Kim Kardashian. While there’s nothing wrong with clarifying to your plastic surgeon in very explicit terms what you want, those expectations may not […]
