How will plastic surgeons solve Madonna's 'pillow face'? Cosmetic experts discuss techniques to avoid her look

Poor Madonna. The 53-year-old star once made headlines for her raunchy dance routines and high-fashion outfits.
But she – and a growing number of women like her – was at the centre of a rather different and more serious debate last week. Or rather, her face was.

At this year’s British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Annual Scientific Meeting, medics from all over the world met to discuss the problem she appears to have in common with other celebrities, from Kylie to Lulu – ‘pillow face’.

And top of the agenda were the latest cosmetic surgery techniques being used to avoid it.

‘This look is usually the result of too many injectable fillers,’ says BAAPS president and consultant plastic surgeon Fazel Fatah.

Fillers are injections – usually of chemicals that occur naturally in the body, such as hyaluronic acid or collagen.

Madonna has neither confirmed or denied having had cosmetic work, but recent pictures show her to have suspiciously full cheeks for a woman of her age and build.

‘As we age, our skin becomes depleted in the substances that give it elasticity and volume.

Older women, especially if they are slim, will notice a hollowing of the cheeks and around the eyes. These things visibly age the face,’ explains Mr Fatah.

‘Fillers are chemicals that are injected into areas in the face to plump out the skin, restoring a youthful look.

The problem is that patients may be so thrilled with the results they want more and more injections.

At a certain point, the face and lips look puffy and over-stuffed, hence the term pillow face.’

Frock horror! Lindsay Lohan supports Kanye at his Paris Fashion Show

If ever there was a match made in gossip column heaven, it's Lindsay Lohan and Kanye West... though sadly they are just good friends.
Still, together they are a maelstrom of controversy, terrible judgement and frequently awful style choices.

So it's both apt - and very funny - that the Lindsay should show up to support the hip hop star at his first fashion show in Paris today.

Not known for her sartorial acumen, Lindsay can look incredible but frequently gets it wrong.

Today was one of those days, as while her tousled hair and 60s' inspired make up looked lovely, Lindsay's dress was a disaster.

The pale ecru drained the actress and model's porcelain skin, and the creased fabric made her look scruffy and not stylish.

But the worst aspect of the frock was the lack of support offered to the blonde's cleavage, a bra would've improved the look beyond measure.

Pippa Middleton looking hot in red Gown

Lady in red: Pippa dazzles in this strikingly low-cut red designer gown for a night at a charity boxing match

Pippa Middleton, Chelsy Davy and Princes Beatrice clash... at the boxing (with a fashion faux-pas in the red corner at blue-blooded bout)

  • Glamorous girls out in force at charity event
  • Royal blues and red sirens are the ladies' choice
It was already a sultry evening - and these friends of the Royals turned up the heat when they arrived in strikingly similar low-cut designer gowns for a charity boxing ball last night.
But Prince William’s sister-in-law Pippa Middleton, his former girlfriend Jecca Craig and ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell might have been wishing they had exchanged fashion notes before they turned out for the occasion in Central London – they each wore a shimmering red dress with plunging neckline.

However, the clash did not stop Pippa and Geri – who sat at neighbouring tables – chatting to each other. They appeared to be ‘getting on like a house on fire’, according to one observer.

Prince Harry’s former girlfriend Chelsy Davy, wearing a metal-blue off-the-shoulder gown, was also there, showing off her tan at the event which featured a series of amateur boxing bouts. One of the fighters was Hugh van Cutsem, a childhood friend of the Princes.

Princess Beatrice, in a floral  gown, and her sister Princess Eugenie were among the revellers, though the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who attended the ball three years ago, did not make an appearance. Prince Harry also had other plans.

The track launched earlier this week, and is the second release from her forthcoming album Young Foolish Happy.

She sports several raunchy looks in the trailer, all of which make her slender pins the main focal point.

Gyrating against a wall and rocking her new shorter hair, the star appears to be moving towards a sexier, more grown-up feel.

Onwards and upwards: Newly-single Katie Price heads out for a night on the town after 'splitting' from Leandro Penna

She might have split from her boyfriend Leandro Penna, but Katie Price looked anything but heartbroken as she headed out last night.

The 33-year-old glamour model was spotted enjoying her newly-single status as she hit the town with best friend Gary Cockerill to celebrate his birthday at London pub The Punchbowl.

Dressed in a black minidress with sexy cut-out panels, Katie looked happy and relaxed as she celebrated with her friend.

After celebrating at the Punchbowl, Katie returned to Gary's house where she later emerged in a completely different outfit - a printed T-shirt and leather hotpants - before meeting Lisa Voice at The Playboy Club for more partying.

Katie's night out comes after news broke that she had split from 26-year-old toyboy Leandro, just days after he gave an interview gushing about his love for her and revealing his hopes for marriage and a family.

The language barrier between the Brighton-raised reality star and Argentine model was one of the primary reasons for the split, according to reports.
