Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) - bad or good PS?

Fergie transformed with help of 'Dr Lookgood'

The Duchess of York has always had a penchant for reinventing herself.
And her latest design appears to have been on making herself look 20 years younger.

In the run-up to her daughter Princess Beatrice's 18th birthday celebrations later this month, Sarah Ferguson, 46, is believed to have enlisted the help of New York-based celebrity dermatologist 'Dr Lookgood'.

More: Is Bea just like her mother?

Otherwise known as Dr Steven Victor, he offers a range of non-surgical treatments including Botox, collagen, and skin-smoothing lasers.

But there was growing speculation that she may also have also opted for a mini face-lift after a flattering photograph showed her with wrinkle-free, cat-like eyes.

Pictured signing her new children's book Little Red's Summer Adventure at Harrods, she also seemed to have lost most of the lines around her jaw - yet seemed reluctant to smile naturally. The crow's feet normally seen around her eyes had totally disappeared and her lips looked plumper than before.

It is a look totally in contrast to her appearance in New York last October, when a photograph revealed various tell-tale signs of ageing.

In the past, the Duchess has embarked on a dramatic mission to lose weight, a move that won her a multi-million-pound advertising campaign. And at the end of 2004, she was given a dazzling new smile by dashing cosmetic dentist Robert DiPilla, paying for three teeth-whitening treatments at £600 a time.

Insiders believe she wanted to complete the look with work to her face.

Dr DiPilla, who later described her as having a 'sexy smile' suggested that she may have been seeing 'Dr Lookgood' for some time.

'I know that she has been a patient of Steven Victor's because he is a friend of mine and in fact he referred her to me for my Power Smile treatment,' he said.

The Duchess has also been named as one of Dr Victor's patients in a list of top physicians drawn up by the magazine New York, a favourite of America's rich and famous.

One of the most prolific dispensers of Botox in Manhattan, other devotees are believed to include expatriate British socialite and novelist Plum Sykes.

Dr Victor, who is in London to launch a new line of 'de-ageing products', including a £300 'bio-nutritive' luxury cream, said: 'The Duchess has told people she is a patient of mine but I cannot discuss her treatment.

'All I will say is that we make women and men look better by using non-surgical procedures including Botox, collagen, silicone and lasers.'

Earlier, however, his British publicist Caroline Neville confirmed: 'Sarah, Duchess of York, is indeed a client of his.'

Last month, the Duchess revealed that she and princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, 16, often lie in until noon before watching DVDs for 20 hours.

She said one of their favourite TV programmes was Nip/Tuck - a 'disturbingly perfect drama' set in a Florida plastic surgery centre.

She added that she and her daughters 'don't move from their chairs' during their marathon television watching sessions.

The Duchess, who is a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, visits New York so frequently that she now rents an apartment in the city, where she is said to be negotiating several new business deals.

I hate it. She looked much better before. 2nd picture looks like she's been botoxed to death & can't move her face.

ewww and eeewww; can it be a board rule that we aren't allowed to post pics of her? I think it'd benefit all of us greatly if it were.

Thank u and good nite

Her eyes look pretty bad. Before they looked so....mmm....open, and now they look like they have hoods on them. And her smile.....well, it looks like a bit too much filler in those things. I think she was pretty good looking before. But now.....so sad people can't just age gracefully and naturally. Does anyone even know what a naturally aging lady (or man, for that matter) looks like anymore?

BAD BAD BAD - She's starting to look like Priscilla Presley, especially with the Joker Mouth.

They all end up making their eyes look tiny with all that ps. She's hideous now.

She looked better before, crows feet and all.

She's been looking increasingly odd over the last few years, starting with a freaky lip thing and Botox and now I reckon she's had a face lift. I saw her interviewed on TV a week or two ago and she now looks so strange that it is impossible to hear a word she's saying, her face is so distracting.

Bad Bad Bad ... dammit, why does everying mess themselves up like this. I actually used to think she looked 'okay.'

macabre · July 10th, 2006, 03:59 PM

Bad before and worse after.

Voodoo Child · July 10th, 2006, 05:40 PM

Fug fug fug. At least before she was *naturally* ugly. Now she has paid probably top dollar to look *artifically* ugly. Why bother?

NurseNoir · July 10th, 2006, 05:49 PM

Aw, HELL to the no!!

She doesn't even look like herself! How do you think these people feel when the bandages come off and the swelling goes down? Do they freak and have the reaction I just did? Do they think they look better?
DAYUM!

Bad PS. She looks worse.

PrettyGirl · July 11th, 2006, 06:10 PM

That's an unfair after picture! That's a terrible shot of her.

I'm going to say that both of those photos are unfortunate and I like Fergie.
