NIP/TUCK

The season finale of Nip/Tuck featured a guest appearance from Joan Rivers. For those of you that have watched Joan Rivers on E!, you're probably not at all surprised by her current appearnce, but for those of us that haven't seen her since the eighties, the effects of her cumulative facial "enhancements" was nothing short of startling.

She certainly doesn't look older than maybe 40/45, but she doesn't look right either. Her cheek bones encroach on her nose, the nose itself looks too narrow and it appears that she's lost the use of the muscles in her upper lip area. I'm sure she had some of the most talented plastic surgeons around working on her face, but with as far as plastic surgery seems to have advanced, you'd think they'd be able to make her look more natural.

Maybe she's just had too much work done? Who knows, but it seems that, aside from your first rhinoplasty, face work still doesn't look very natural, unless you're taking a picture that requires you to have a frozen look of surprise.
