13 Signs You Just Got ‘Bad Botox’ (NewBeauty December 2022)
Sign 5: You don’t look natural while resting—or while moving.
“Not looking natural” is a vague term, but Scottsdale, AZ, facial plastic surgeon Kelly Bomer, MD, breaks it down in regards to neuromodulators: “My definition of ‘Bad Botox’ is a result that looks unnatural at rest or while moving. It is important to ask about retaining natural movement of brow elevation when actively raising the brow and normal cheek elevation when smiling. A common ‘Bad Botox’ result is the ‘Spock Brow,’ where the tail of the brow is unnaturally high and spiked and the medial brow is unnaturally low. And for the crow’s-feet area, if Botox is injected in a pattern that lowers cheek elevation, one can get a look of hollow eyes and chipmunk cheeks.”

On The Nose (New Beauty Fall 2022 Magazine)
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery counts rhinoplasty as the top facial surgery for women. Here is a glance at our obsession with nose jobs through the ages.
1950s
By the mid-century, the lifeline for wounded soldiers became a Hollywood staple. Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Hedy Lamarr were said to have surgically perfected their noses.
While pop culture contributed to the rhinoplasty boom, Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly Bomer, MD says a good result should “look as if the nose was born to the face in proper proportions, it’s best not to seek another person’s nose.” By the ’70s, closed rhinoplasty, where the incision is done within the nostrils, becomes a common technique.
Early 2000s
Citing breathing issues, deviated septums and broken noses, celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, and Tyra Banks have attributed their surgeries to improving nasal function. “Current techniques emphasize preserving the nasal anatomy and adding structural support through the use of cartilage grafts,” Dr. Kwak explains. Dr. Bomer adds that results have evolved greatly: “Before, more tissues were removed, which compromised functionality and reduced airflow; today, you can achieve beautiful results and maintain functionality.”

Plastic Surgeons Say These 21 Things Are Dead Giveaways You’ve Had Work Done
Something You Can Spot Across the Room
Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD considers bad plastic surgery something that “you can see from across the room” and points out that it can happen from many types of cosmetic surgery. “A face that’s pulled too tight, prominent facial scars, a face with strange angles of tension, facial proportions distorted with overly large cheeks, chin or overly small nose, oddly shaped face with unnatural asymmetries, rounded eyes, hollow eyes, pulled-down eyes, and waxy skin that wrinkles strangely are all signs of bad plastic surgery.” In her strong opinion: The best cosmetic surgery goes unnoticed. “One of the greatest challenges when performing plastic surgery is to have good judgment with aesthetics, so that the patient maintains an un-operated, natural appearance as if he or she could have been born with their newly refreshed features.”
The Best Celebrity Lips According to Top Plastic Surgeons
Each set of lips are so unique, you can’t exactly bring in a photo of your favorite celebrity’s pout to your plastic surgeon and walk out with those same lips. “Every face is a different unique shape and the lips as well,” says Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD. “One cannot put another person’s lips on another face. Human anatomy does not work this way if the outcome is to be beautiful and natural in appearance.”
However, that doesn’t stop people from asking for a certain style or look. Here, plastic surgeons share the muses with the most aesthetically appealing lips on the red carpet and why.
Experts Say These Tips Make Huge Difference in Post-Surgery Facial Scarring
Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD succinctly sums it up: “You want to protect your financial and emotional investment by taking care of yourself. That includes following the surgeon’s instructions post-surgery…”
What You Need to Know About a ‘Lip Flip’ Before Getting One
Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD says only a small dose is needed and you should go to an expert injector because it’s a very precise procedure. “Small doses of a focally acting neurotoxin that has less spread is needed. If the neurotoxin spreads too deep or too far, the lip will not function, and oral incompetence will occur. Also, if there is spread of the product into the upper white lip, there will be no flip up and the lip will have a more simian look,” she explains.
Plastic Surgeons Say These Are the Most Sought-After Celebrity Noses
“When considering a change to one of the most prominent features of the face, it is important that the nose be modified to fit the dimensions of the face,” adds Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD. “It is unwise to try to put a nose from another face onto someone else because it will most likely not work out well.”
Dr. Bomer Celebrated in NewBeauty as Top Female Doctor
“Patients choose our practice because they are impressed by the fact that we walk our talk,” says Dr. Bomer. “Once they experience our skill and artistry up close, the confidence is there.”
This Popular Hyaluronic Acid Filler Is Now Approved for the Chin
Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly Bomer, MD also has many years of experience augmenting the chin with hyaluronic acid filler. “In my experience, the best mimic of bone for balancing the chin profile with filler is Restylane Lyft, which offers the projection and structure for achieving a significant bony chin augmentation,” she says. “Restylane Defyne is wonderful in the subcutaneous and subdermal planes for smoothing irregular texture, buffing out lines, and providing support and structure to the skin for subtle contour changes.”
4 Things Doctors Say You Should Know Before You Get Filler in the Cheeks
Before Cheek Filler – Study Your Facial Movements
“Look in the mirror,” says Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD. “It is important to study your cheeks in the mirror and obtain photos of yourself before filler in the resting and smiling positions. Filler in the cheeks can dramatically change the contour at rest and smiling. It is valuable to view before-and-after photos of patients with cheek filler augmentation at rest and smiling from the injector that you will be utilizing so you have an understanding of the type of shape the injector makes and how it accommodates natural movement.”
How Filling Your Mid-Cheek Area May Hold the Secret to Looking Younger
Dr. Bomer’s instructs that, for optimal results, it is best to address bony highlights and contours separate from fat pad curves. “Cheeks are unique to varied facial shapes and with proper injection, the filler moves well with animation and provides support to the overlying skin to reduce wrinkles and folding.” Read more about Dr. Bomer’s thoughts on what else she suggests along with cheek filler injections.
Doctors Say the Lipstick Effect Is Real…But It’s Not What You Think
While she hasn’t necessarily seen a significant sway in lips since “they’re always popular at her practice,” Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD says her patients are still steadily seeking skin- and full face–rejuvenation procedures, even during this uncertain time.
