Image Credit: Harrison Lee Image Credit: Harrison Lee There are few faces in the history of fashion more recognizable than Janice Dickinson’s. Fierce, unguarded, and impossible to look away from. It was a face that defined an era and launched a career that contributed to her prominence within the modeling industry. Decades later, that same face became the canvas for one of the most technically demanding surgeries of [Dr. Harrison Lee’](https://www.harrisonleeplasticsurgeon.com)s long-running career. Dickinson has publicly praised the results of the transformation and has been presented as an example of Dr. Lee’s surgical approach. **The Original Supermodel** Born in 1955 in Brooklyn, New York, [Janice Dickinson](https://share.google/5p5udtVw8MZBJyYUO) rose to global prominence in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming one of the most sought-after models of her generation. She graced the covers of Vogue, ELLE, and Harper’s Bazaar, collaborated with some of the best-known photographers of the era, and cultivated a persona that was equal parts raw talent and unshakeable nerve. She has long claimed and fiercely defended the title of the ‘World’s First Supermodel’, a distinction she chronicles in her candid 2002 memoir, [_No Lifeguard on Duty_](https://share.google/94ZBtsie6rhoMAMeu). Her career extended well beyond the runway, taking her to _America’s_[ _Next Top Model_ ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363307/)as a judge, her own modeling agency, and a cultural footprint that has never entirely faded. What has always set Dickinson apart is her refusal to pretend. She has spoken openly about cosmetic surgery throughout her public life, long before transparency around aesthetic work became the norm it is today. That honesty is part of what makes her story with Dr. Lee so compelling and authentic. **The Weight of a Famous Face**  Image Credit: Harrison Lee By the time Janice Dickinson walked into Dr. Harrison Lee’s practice, she carried visible consequences of two previous facelifts with her. The scarring around her ears told the story plainly. “_The scars around the ears were not good_,” Dr. Lee recalls. “_I had a very difficult time trying to correct it and did what I could._” It was a surgical situation that would give many practitioners pause. For Dr. Lee, it was precisely the kind of complex, high-stakes case his entire career had prepared him for. Operating on a public figure of Dickinson’s stature is, as Dr. Lee puts it, a different kind of pressure. “_Whenever you do \[a surgery on\] a celebrity, it’s very stressful_,” he says. “_Their faces are out in the media and the public. You can’t afford to screw up. Even a minor complication would be disastrous because it’s all out there._” That pressure demands not just technical skill but an architectural understanding of the face, and one that Dr. Lee has spent decades building. **The Surgeon Behind the Results** [Dr. Harrison Lee](https://www.harrisonleeplasticsurgeon.com) is triple board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology with a head and neck surgery focus, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. A combination that is as rare as it is consequential. His training began at Tufts Dental School, continued through a four-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, and included two years as a clinical assistant professor at NYU. He then returned to medical school to earn his MD and completed a five-year head and neck surgery residency at the prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. His path produced a surgeon who understands the face not as a surface to be managed, but as a complete anatomical system. Bone, muscle, ligament, and skin are evaluated and addressed at every level. It is that depth and caliber of understanding that allows Dr. Lee to take on cases others cannot and to pursue results that may differ from more traditional approaches. With practices in both Beverly Hills and New York City and nearly three decades in private practice, Dr. Lee has built a reputation that prevails. It found Dickinson through a trusted hairstylist’s referral and her own research. **The Surgery** [Dickinson’](https://share.google/5p5udtVw8MZBJyYUO)s procedure was extensive and required Dr. Lee to operate across multiple layers of the face simultaneously. He performed an endoscopic brow lift through small incisions hidden behind the hairline, using titanium screws to anchor the elevated scalp in its new position. From the temple incisions, he placed Endotine ribbons, which are devices equipped with small hooks, to engage and lift the mid-face fat pads, addressing changes in contour and volume associated with aging. He then performed his specialty, a deep plane facelift, working beneath the SMAS layer to release the four key retaining ligaments of the face. Releasing these ligaments allows the face to be fully mobilized rather than simply pulled, with the goal of achieving natural-looking, longer-lasting results. The defining advantage of the deep plane technique. For the neck, where Dickinson had pronounced wrinkling, Dr. Lee worked beneath the platysma muscle, elevating it with the skin still attached. “_If you just go under the skin, it’s not going to do it_,” he explains. “_The muscle is elevated, and the skin is attached to that_.” The changes in the neck area are among the most noticeable aspects of the procedure. **The Result** “_Above and beyond what I expected_,” is how Dr. Lee describes the outcome. For [Dr. Harrison Lee](https://www.harrisonleeplasticsurgeon.com), Janice Dickinson’s transformation has drawn attention beyond the procedure itself. It is a testament to what becomes possible when unmatched training, technical precision, and the courage to take on the most demanding cases converge in a single surgeon. [Janice Dickinson](https://share.google/5p5udtVw8MZBJyYUO) has remained a highly visible public figure for decades. In Dr. Lee, she found the one surgeon whose work is equally hard to overlook. _This article is for informational purposes only and does not substitute for professional medical advice.
