The famed plastic surgeon behind the Kardashian family has issued a reality check to people hoping to achieve an A-list celebrity look through surgery.

Appearing on The Face with Alex Pike podcast, Dr. Garth Fisher said that social media platforms like Instagram have given people a warped sense of beauty

‘Instagram came and then you see all these filters and it’s just not realistic,’ he explained.

‘And you can’t capitalize that and say, “I’m going to make you look like this filter” – it’s just not gonna happen.’

Dr. Fisher stressed the importance of letting prospective patients know that they’re not going to be able to achieve a filtered social media aesthetic in real life.

‘It’s our responsibility to dictate what’s necessary, what’s appropriate, and what the possibilities are and be honest with our patients.’

The strapping surgeon also said that he has no issue turning patients away if he can’t deliver what they’re after.

‘There’s different ideas of what patients want and if I don’t mirror that and I don’t think that I can – or want – to deliver what they want, I just remove myself from the picture,’ he shared.

‘I like understated – I don’t want people to look like they’ve had plastic surgery.’

Dr. Fisher is one of the go-to plastic surgeons in Hollywood and was once dubbed ‘The Enhancer’ in Vanity Fair magazine.

He’s largely known for performing Kris Jenner’s pinnacle facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The board-certified surgeon also did Kourtney Kardashian’s breast augmentation and removed a tumor from Khloe’s face.

He even gave a pre-transition Caitlyn Jenner a revision facelift, which was also featured on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

‘Garth Fisher is genius,’ Jenner gushed after the procedure. ‘Nobody really know I’d had anything done!’

Dr. Fisher also helped actress and reality star Lisa Rinna achieve a more natural pout after she’d had permanent silicone lip fillers in the late ’80s.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Fisher was Hugh Hefner’s go-to surgeon and often performed breast augmentations on Playboy magazine’s many models, centerfolds, and Bunnies.

Despite the Kardashian family’s gorgeous good looks, the reality TV stars gave been accused at times of using filters on their social media photos.

Khloe was ridiculed back in 2020 after posting what appeared to be a heavily airbrushed selfie to Instagram.

In 2016, the Good American founder openly admitted to using editing tools to enhance some of her social media photos.

‘Of course I believe in airbrushing apps, I just think airbrushing apps, like who doesn’t want to airbrush a thing here or there,’ she told People magazine.

‘I love FaceTune, that one’s great. I don’t really know of many more, but a filter, that’s like airbrushing. Who doesn’t love a good filter? Sometimes you’re having a bad day.’

In February, Khloe was sensationally accused of FaceTuning her Russian Blue cat after fans noticed the feline’s changed features.

The star, 39, who – along with her famous family – has been caught editing photos before, posted a snap of her pet Grey Kitty to mark Valentine’s Day, but her followers quickly pointed out the cat’s ‘blurred’ whiskers and different eye color.

One fan wrote: ‘Even the pets aren’t safe’ with a second typing: ‘Even the cat got work done’.

In 2014, Kim Kardashian admitted that she rarely smiles because it ’causes wrinkles’.

Last year, airbrushing app FaceTune took a dig at Kim and sister Kylie Jenner by commenting on one of their photos, writing, ‘can they tag me please LOL’.

Other reality stars that have been accused of editing their photos include Patti Stanger and Sister Wives star Meri Brown.

Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton from ’90s group Salt-N-Pepa was also accused of editing some of her recent selfies.

In one image, the 57-year-old’s visage had a blurry glow to it that seemed to mask some of her naturally beautiful features.

‘Too many filters… smh. You can barely see her nose,’ commented one fan.

‘They almost blurred her nose completely out the picture. She’s beautiful but y’all getting crazy with the editing!’ wrote another.

Queen of Pop Madonna is another notorious airbrusher, with fans often calling out the songstress for her heavily edited Instagram photos.
