As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California, I’ve observed countless discussions surrounding celebrity transformations. Lindsay Lohan’s recent change in appearance has sparked widespread speculation about whether plastic surgery played a role. After reviewing her case from a professional standpoint, I don’t see substantial evidence to suggest she’s undergone invasive surgical procedures. Instead, I believe her transformation is the result of non-surgical enhancements, weight loss, and lifestyle changes. Here’s a closer look at the details.
Custom jaw implants are becoming increasingly sought after by patients who’ve undergone orthognathic (bimax) surgery. While orthognathic surgery is life-changing for improving functionality, such as bite alignment and airway issues, it often falls short in achieving the desired aesthetic harmony. This is where custom jaw angle implants come into play, transforming two-dimensional enhancements into three-dimensional perfection.

Dr. Zelken gets buccal fat pad removal: 1 month UPDATE
Can I get buccal fat removal if I have had orthognathic surgery? It is common for the patient seeking buccal fat pad removal to desire or have undergone orthognathic surgery to improve their occlusion or bite.

These days, one of the most-requested facial problem areas is a small shadow that originates from the corner of the mouth and angles downward. I do think that conservative fillers and even Botox to this region are important methods to soften early signs of facial aging. However, there is a strict limit to how much can and should be safely performed, and just as much as the forward depression deserves to be addressed, so does the fullness behind.

Although he has offered custom implants for years, the process is constrained by the expense and logistical challenges of designing, ordering, and receiving a custom-made implant. The implants typically used in the custom arena are made of silicone, the same material used in prefabricated, off-the-shelf devices. Because off-the-shelf devices can be far less expensive, are readily available, and generally arrive at our doorstep a day or 2 after they are ordered, these have been (and remain) the preferred solution for the majority of patients treated by Dr. Zelken. Chin and paranasal implants seldom require screw fixation and can be placed under near direct visualization. Because they are made from malleable silicone, incisions are generally shorter than what is required for plastic devices, such as those made with Medpor or polyether ether ketone (PEEK). Although these prefabricated devices have smooth surfaces, they can easily conform to the complex topography of the underlying bone
Buccal fat pad resection is a trending procedure that has gained increasing popularity nationwide and in my own practice. I see a recurring pattern where patients ask for the procedure based on their cosmetic goals, are quick to book the procedure because it is relatively affordable and low risk (in expert hands) and confers a sense of instant gratification. However, it is not uncommon for patients to obtain advice from other plastic surgeons, stylists, aestheticians, and nurses, that warn patients against the cosmetic risks of this operation. The most common concern my patients have is that they will be over-resected and obtain a deflated midface that may contribute to premature aging. Other patients have concerns that they will have bags that sag where the buccal fat pad used to live. Finally, some patients wonder if this can be reversed in time.
