Kathy Griffin has always been forthcoming about the plastic surgery she’s had, but she opens up even more in an interview with Time magazine this week. In discussing her own procedures (yep, that’s a ‘before’ pic on the left and an ‘after’ pic on the right), she explains that being on TV and having persuasive doctors are the reasons she first had surgery. She details one doctor visit, saying, “It was very much like Nip/Tuck where they’d be like, ‘Tell me what you don’t like about yourself,’ and then they’d draw all over you with markers to highlight your ‘problem’ areas. One of the doctors was like, ‘We can do a little teeny lipo on your upper arms.’ I said, ‘Are you sure?’ He said yes, so I went along with it.” Griffin has also gone along with several eye surgeries and a nose job.
When asked how so may celebs keep their own surgery a secret, she revealed that it’s a secretive, multi-step process. “First of all, the plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills all have secret celebrity doors. After the surgery, you leave the plastic surgeon’s office covered in a sheet that’s not unlike a burqa. Your assistant takes you to an upscale hotel where you hide in a dark room of shame until you’re better. There are bandaged rich ladies walking around the hallways of the Four Seasons and the Peninsula in Beverly Hills right now. It’s not unlike being a war criminal or a terrorist.” Hey, maybe that’s why Tori Spelling decided to open her very own inn. We’re on to you, Hollywood! [Photos: GettyImages]
