The coroner’s document described “small scars … associated with breast implants.”
Dr. John Di Saia, a plastic surgeon in San Clemente and Orange, this week blogs his interpretations of the cosmetic ”inventory” revealed in the coroner’s report.
Houston also wore dentures, the coroner’s report said.
“This is relatively common among long-term drug abusers,” ABC News reported. “Habitual use of drugs such as crack cocaine, which contains acidic chemicals, will lead to the wearing down of the tooth’s pulpy tissue over time. Tooth decay can also be the result of vomiting and tooth grinding, which is common among drug and alcohol abusers.”
Despite her natural beauty, Houston has long been thought to have benefited from cosmetic enhancements, particularly to stave off signs of aging.
She was believed to have had “liposuction and … facial rejuvenation procedures to keep her middle-aged skin young, smooth and wrinkle-free,” according to the plastic surgery website Make Me Heal.
“The only place on her smooth as satin skin seems to be less than perfect is on her neck,” the site said in 2008, “where the skin is just starting to sag and reveal her actual age, which Whitney will no doubt correct with a tightening procedure like a necklift or lower facelift on her next visit to the plastic surgeon’s office.”
RadarOnline reported in February that Houston was said to have sought a facelift from a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon two weeks before her death at the age of 48, but her basic medical exam didn’t pass muster.
Coroners Report Reveals Whitney Houston’s Plastic Surgery Secrets
It has already been revealed that Whitney Houston was shopping around for a facelift, just weeks before her death, and it wasn’t exactly surprising to learn that she did not pass the medical exam required in order to undergo cosmetic surgery. What is surprising is how extensive Whitney’s plastic surgery past really is!
The coroner’s report reveals that Whitney Houston had numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast implants, a breast lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck. It was also revealed that the 48-year old singer wore dentures to hide 11 missing teeth, a likely side effect from years of drug abuse which often causes severe tooth decay. In addition to the tooth decay, Whitney also had a perforated septum, caused by years (decades?) of cocaine overindulgence.

Whitney Houston’s Plastic Surgery Past
Though she was a very talented signer, perhaps one of the best in the business according to both her fans and her sales numbers, Whitney Houston had quite a list of poor decisions on her record before her untimely death in February 2012.
Among those black marks were her abusive marriage to Bobby Brown, her flirtation with alcohol and drugs, and the pervasive rumors that she had been undergoing cosmetic procedures, which became particularly prevalent around the time of her comeback album “I Look to You.”
48 years old when she died, Whitney Houston was always a stunningly attractive woman, standing out even in the ranks of Hollywood divas.
However as her good looks outpaced both her age and rumors of her drinking and drug use, not to mention physical abuse at the hands of her former husband, rumors of celeb plastic surgery began to flourish.
Rumors included breast implants (which had been a rumor for a number of years), as well as less-invasive procedures such as Botox injections or facial fillers which helped keep her face looking smooth and tight. However, even after death, many rumors remain unconfirmed and still remain speculation.
Technically the rumors of what cosmetic procedures Houston did or didn’t have during her life can maybe be finally answered.
However, given that Houston numbers in the ranks of great starlets like Marilyn Monroe, it is likely that in the future her doctors will be pressured to come forward and to answer once and for all just what cosmetic procedures were performed.
