Creators of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Refuse to Cast Actresses with Breast Implants

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Plastic surgery is relatively common now, and it seems like everyone in Hollywood has had a cosmetic procedure. However, Entertainment Weekly published an article stating that Disney refused to cast women who had breast enhancement surgery in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 because the look was historically inaccurate. The casting sheet explicitly stated not to even audition if you’d received breast implants. Casting associates said they did not want anything to take away from the movie. If the cosmetic procedure had been done well and was not obvious, there was no issue. Creators of historically based movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean 4, face dilemmas with aesthetic issues other than just plastic surgery; they also have to be careful about hair highlights, overly toned bodies, and tattoos.

It’s understandable that casting associates do not desire hiring actors who do not historically fit the part because of obvious plastic surgery.  However, it is hard to imagine that Disney producers could fully cast actors who’ve never had cosmetic surgery, but there is a chance that some actors slid by without having to admit their physical alterations. While cosmetic surgery is meant to change appearance, it does not have to look over done. Plastic surgery results, and even breast augmentation procedures, can be subtle. Before a plastic surgery procedure, Dr. LeRoy consults with his patients about their expected outcomes and their desired results.

Dr. John LeRoy is renowned for his subtle Band Aid procedures such as the Band Aid Facelift procedures and Band Aid Liposuction. While Dr. LeRoy has not coined a “Band Aid” breast procedure, he is highly practiced in subtlety. Unless the patient desires a dramatic plastic surgery result, Dr. LeRoy will perform the most minimal procedure possible to obtain the desired results.

Subtlety depends upon the plastic  surgeon, the type of cosmetic surgery, and the extent of the cosmetic procedure. For instance, if you go from an A cup to a D cup in breast implant size, it won’t look as subtle as if you only increase a size or two. To ensure a more natural looking result, be sure to discuss concerns and expectations with your board certified plastic surgeon at your consultation. With today’s advanced technologies, surgeons can easily hide scars and make results look seamless.

Not All Mini Facelifts Are Created Equal

Woman looking in mirrorDr. John LeRoy has performed over 2,600 traditional facelift and Band Aid Facelift procedures during his surgical career.  The procedure, known as a rhytidectomy, involves a plastic surgeon removing sagging skin on the face and neck, tightening underlying muscle, and relaying the tissue for a smoother, younger appearance.  The challenge with the facelift procedure is that, if a surgeon is not adequately experienced, a facelift can produce an over-corrected, unnatural appearance.

Realizing that there are additional factors besides experience that effect the results of a facelift, plastic surgeons began implementing “mini” (partial) facelift procedures that treated isolated areas of concern (i.e.- wrinkles on the brow with an upper facelift (browlift), sagging jowls with a lower facelift, etc.)  These mini procedures also made younger patients (i.e.- those in their 40’s and 50’s) eligible candidates for the procedure because their entire faces were not yet exhibiting the signs of aging – only certain areas.

These partial procedures also enticed patients with their smaller price tags. Some “mini” facelift procedures only require local anesthesia and abbreviated recovery time.  Patients however, need to be particularly cautious when selecting a plastic surgeon to perform a “mini” or partial facelift.  Though the goal and process of all “mini” facelift versions might sound similar, the true quality of its result depends on the surgeon’s experience and their attention to detail.

In 1997, Dr. LeRoy created his Band Aid Facelift in an attempt to distinguish not only the procedure, but also his meticulous technique.  Unlike some of the other similar sounding, cleverly named mini facelift procedures other Atlanta plastic surgeons offer, Dr. LeRoy carefully targets only the areas patients are concerned about.  This method, no matter the patient’s age, yields a natural looking rejuvenation.  Patients look like themselves, only younger.
