 While the Oscar is perfect, those who will win this award tomorrow evening and many of the stars attending the gala apparently feel they need some touching-up.

At what price will some pay for the touch-up, oh, about $7,000.

According to Ashley Pearson of London’s Daily Mail many of the bodies you will see walk the red carpet and be interviewed by the media will have had, “a power-bleach, armpit Botox, stiletto foot surgeries, cleavage facials, antianxiety drugs and liposuction.”

But according to the article, the dress designers will get more attention than the body sculptors; the personal trainers, cosmetic surgeons, podiatrists, facialists, dermatologists and dentists who will be sculpting the body to fit into those designer dresses.

Months before the Oscars are the busiest time for cosmetic surgeons.  They can sculpt full features taking fat from the abdomen and insert it under the eyes, cheeks or between the nose and mouth to give a full and younger look.  It’s called a volumetric face lift.  The hottest pre-Oscar skin filler is Radiesse. The Radiesse website says it corrects facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and it lasts up to a year.

Sonya Dakar of the Beverly Hills clinic is a stop where most stars line up prior to the Oscars for a $1,000 facial.

And if the dress bulges, these starlets don’t change the dress they have liposuction.  There are others that diet for a month prior to the Oscars.

Some use red fox fur or mink on their eye lashes.

For a bust boost, many head to the dermatologist where they tighten the skin on the breast with Botox to create younger looking breasts.  They also apply it under the breast to give sagging cleavage a much needed lift.

And if all else fails and there is a bit of anxiety, the starlets will have a purse full of Rx drugs.  And so what you see is not all of what it was a month ago nor what it might be a year from now. But enjoy, it can all be fixed again next year.
