Celebrity Patients and Their Renowned Plastic Surgeons and Derms
Certainly, some celebrities might simply possess more favorable genetics compared to the average person. However, it's undeniable that they also have unparalleled access to the latest cosmetic procedures and top-notch doctors in the field. So, are celebrity patients truly like the rest of us? Sort of – but there are a few crucial distinctions, as per the doctors we conversed with. One significant difference is the entourage they typically have, notes New York City board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jordan Terner, who carried out Amy Schumer's widely publicized liposuction operation. “Celebrities frequently travel accompanied by assistants, hairstylists, makeup artists, and stylists, all of whom can exert an influence on them. The most essential aspect when conducting an initial consultation with any patient, especially a celebrity, is to clear the room of all external influence,” he emphasizes.
And indeed, in case you were curious, even doctors can be prone to being starstruck, but that doesn't modify how they handle their client; it's always advisable to approach all patients uniformly, states Dr. Terner. “They frequently demand greater flexibility when it comes to scheduling, privacy, and accommodations, and while we strive to accommodate this, it's still vital not to deviate from proven methodology,” he remarks.
Dr. Paul Nassif, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California, who has treated supermodels, influencers, and celebrities (both on his show, Botched, and off-camera) concurs. “All kinds of patients can be choosy, which is why it's important to always set realistic expectations in advance, regardless of who they are,” he asserts. Similarly, any type of patient, be it a Real Housewife, a high-profile attorney, or an A-list celebrity, is susceptible to issues such as body dysmorphia, and it's always crucial to detect this, he adds.
Here, we have compiled 14 of the leading celebrity plastic surgeons and derms in the industry along with what their high-profile patients have stated about them.
Dr. Andrew Jacono, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in New York City
In July 2024, Marc Jacobs made headlines when he documented every aspect of his recovery from a deep plane facelift, performed by Dr. Jacono, on Instagram. Dr. Jacono then commended Jacobs for openly sharing: “When someone of Marc's stature is divulging, it assists people in realizing that there are measures we all can undertake to maintain ourselves and enhance our appearance. It conveys a message: yes, it's feasible to resemble yourself, it's not as dreadful as you imagine, and you can obtain the results you desire without giving the impression of having undergone bad plastic surgery,” he said in an interview with Vogue. Dr. Jacono executed a deep plane facelift on RHONJ star Sonja Morgan in 2024. “I entrusted my face to the outstanding @drjacono and he exceeded expectations,” she captioned her before and after Instagram photos.

Iggy Azalea is another of Dr. Ghavami's A-list clients. She praised him after he performed her rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. “It might seem obvious I'd hold the man I owe my fabulous nose and breasts to in high esteem. But putting vanity aside; Ash you're incredibly funny, talented, diverse, a progressive thinker & someone who supports women in their choice to do what they want with their OWN bodies (many men don't share that sentiment) So cheers to you!
