At the recent Miss USA pageant, two contestants stood out the most: the winner, Miss USA Kristen Dalton and runner-up Miss California Carrie Prejean. As plastic surgery often reigns supreme at pageant events, Make Me Heal decided to investigate what’s underneath the pretty faces of these beauty queens.
It’s easy to see why 22-year old Kristen Dalton of North Carolina won the pageant, with her all-American appeal. But are good looks due to good genes or a good doctor?
Kristen Dalton, Plastic Surgery, Miss USA
Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn reveals, :Miss USA’s face looks really natural to me. The most common facial surgery among many pageant contestants is a rhinoplasty, but her nose looks pretty unoperated on. Does she have breast implants? Tough call, but the photo in the first gallery suggests this.“
Other experts agree that Kristen may have had a breast augmentation, but that her face remains untouched by needle or knife at this point.
Dr. Jennifer Walden tells Make Me Heal, “It looks as though Miss USA has had breast augmentation considering you can see the outline of the implant and their perfectly round shape. This is apparent in multiple swimsuit photos. After looking through various headshots, it’s my opinion that she has not had any work done on her nose or lips as they appear very natural.”
Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “Kristen looks great. It really is impossible to tell if she has had plastic surgery. There a few pictures her breasts look enhanced, but this could also be a great bra. In any case, there is no question why she was crowned Miss USA.”
Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell J. Aston says, “Miss USA Kristen Dalton, winner of Miss USA is undeniably a beautiful woman. However, I suspect that her looks might not be 100% natural. I think she has had breast augmentation but I don’t think she has had any facial surgery. She is young and beautiful and should not do any more procedures for the time being.”
Carrie Prejean, Plastic Surgery
Although she didn’t win, runner up, Miss California Carrie Prejean has had her time in the spotlight recently as well. As yet another beauty in the pageant, the 21-year caught the media’s attention when she gave a rather controversial response to a question about her feelings on gay marriage. Carrie is also rumored to be dating Olympian Michael Phelps, adding to her 15 minutes of fame.
It’s a commonly held belief that no one can be as stunning as Carrie without a little knife work, but it seems that Miss California earned her title all on her own, although she may have gotten some cosmetic dental surgery as her teeth are almost too perfectly bright and white.
Dr. Walden says, “It is hard to tell if Miss California has had breast implants. In the first photo she looks fairly flat compared to her swimsuit photo on the Miss USA website. This may be a result of a padded swimsuit or possibly small implants. One thing I did notice in the media frenzy that surrounded her is that she seems to have very bright white dental veneers that are a bit oversized and cause some lip strain when she talks.”
Dr. Shafer says, “Carrie looks beautiful. From the pictures it does not appear that she has had surgery. She is a natural beauty.”
Dr. Aston says, “The controversial Carrie Prejean from California does not appear to have had plastic surgery. She looks very natural to me, and has great proportions.
Some photos suggest breast augmentation but others look natural. Carrie’s personal beliefs might have gotten in the way of her winning the crown. I’m sure that she will be able to move forward with her career nevertheless.”
Facial plastic surgery expert Dr. Paul S. Nassif sums up the stars of the recent beauty pageant saying, both young women have had, “No plastic surgery. Pure.”
Pageant contestants have a way of having scandals arise after accepting their crowns, leading we to wonder if the seemingly perfect young ladies still have plastic surgery skeletons in their closet that have yet to be revealed by less-than-flattering photos soon to appear.
Mrs California, Carrie Prejean, is such an amazing hypocrite. She had taken a strong stand against gay marriage because she is such a devote religious women and the bible tells her that it is wrong. So, a loving relationship between two people is wrong if they are of the same sex, but it’s okay to defile the body that God gave you so that you can increase the size of your breasts and compete in the vainest sort of competition on earth?
Carrie Prejean 'Should Be Ashamed of Herself'
Carrie Prejean wrote of Donald Trump’s favoritism during Miss USA pageants in her new book, but Trump was quick to retort “Carrie should be ashamed of herself.”

In Prejean’s new book, which is coincidentally being promoted as she makes the media rounds about her new sex tape, Prejean contends that Trump treats the Miss USA contestants differently based on their looks, saying he divides them up.
Trump denied Prejean’s accusations and told Extra, “Carrie should be ashamed of herself. Certainly I would never do a thing like that, because it would be too hurtful. I don’t stand the ones that are less attractive to one side, and the beautiful ones on the other side. It was total nonsense — it was fiction in her imagination… I don’t even know how she came up with an idea like that.”
Trump chalks her comments up to self-promotion, saying Prejean is just doing whatever it takes to sell her book. “She’s trying to sell a book,” Trump explains. “She’s doing the best she can… I can’t imagine too many people would be interested in it, but you never know what sells these days.”
Prejean’s sex tape scandal broke as she was attempting to sue the K2 Productions for her ousting as beauty queen. K2 contends Prejean failed to make required appearances, Prejean said she was axed for her conservative views. After the suit was initiated by Prejean , K2 countersued for the money the company had given Prejean for breast augmentation.
However, following the release of the sex tape–just four days before Prejean’s memoir hit the shelves–Prejean dropped the suit.
