Plastic Surgery for Dolly Parton

You read it here first!
The Orange County Register, (in California’s Orange County) recently ran a nice slide show of the changes in Dolly Parton’s appearance over the length of her 44-year career.
Plastic surgery? You bet! And plenty of it. Of course, Dolly — being Dolly – has an open book policy about her rejuvenation surgeries.
But all that was nothing new for readers of the CSI (California Surgical Institute) blog. We carried a similar story back in April, 2009. (Read our take on Dolly Parton’s cosmetic surgery with a couple of before and after plastic surgery pictures.)
Most classic (and typical!) Dolly quote: “If it’s a-sagging, a-bagging or a-dragging, I go get it fixed!
While giving an interview to Larry King about her cosmetic surgery, she added a kicker: “….I get it sucked, plucked or tucked!”
(Watch Dolly’s interview on YouTube with King about her cosmetic plastic surgery.)
She once told Ophra Winfrey: “”If I have one more face lift, I’ll have a beard!”
Here are the plastic surgery procedures that Dolly admits to having:
- Breast enlargement
- Botox
- Mastopexy (breast lift)
- Upper eyelid surgery
- Face lift
- Neck lift
- Buttocks lift
- Chemical peels
But people often wonder about Dolly’s overall flashy look. She explained her image in her 1994 biography: Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business.
That style started in her childhood where she really was a “dirt” poor country girl (“..who could not be any poorer”), the fourth of 12 children living in a one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, in the Great Smoky Mountains.
Dolly recalled in her tiny town a particular woman — known as the town tramp — dressed in gaudy clothes, kept peroxide blonde hair and wore bright high-heeled shoes in a place where most children didn’t have any shoes.
But her mother dismissed the woman as “nothing but trash.”
Responded the eight-year-old Dolly: “But, momma, that’s the woman I want to be when I grow up!”
And did she ever…. in spades! Just look at more pictures of her gaudy, flashy style in the Dolly Parton’s plastic surgery slide show.)
Sadly, the face lifts largely removed Dolly’s trademark dimples.
Says Tarick Smaili, M.D., a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon: “Depending on how much the facial skin has been undermined as the result of a facelift, sometimes dimples can be affected.”
Dr. Smaili is also the medical director of California Surgical Institute.
