Priscilla Presley's mug is too full

One of the nation's top skin surgeons says Priscilla Presley's apparently botched face job could have been avoided.
"You would think that with her beauty and her resources, she would have chosen a different path," said Dr. Rhoda Narins, a former president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [ASDS].
Over 20 million people watched Elvis' ex-wife on last week's premiere of "Dancing With the Stars," with one writer comparing Presley's puffed-up look to "a bulldog bitten by wasps."
"Watching the show, you can see that a whole group of things has gone wrong," Narins told us. "There is no movement at all in her face, no expression. No expert in Botox would leave you like that.
"Her chin is too masculine and wide. It's too big of an implant. It looks manly. Her eyes are smaller. It looks like someone used too much filler around them.
"Her mouth is uneven. It's almost like a Bell's palsy on one side, as if there's been nerve damage."
TMZ.com reported Monday that a handsome young Argentinean "doctor" named Daniel Serrano had injected auto mechanic-grade silicone into Presley's face and that of other Hollywood types, some at "injection parties," earning him the name "Dr. Jiffy Lube." He got a federal conviction on the use of unapproved drugs, but that is no doubt of little solace to Presley, mother of Lisa Marie Presley.
"She can certainly fix the Botox to gain back some movement, and she can get a smaller chin implant," Narins said. "But on the [silicone] filler, it can be very difficult to get out."
Presley's spokeswoman didn't comment.
