UNTANGLING THE MYSTERIES OF ‘REAL HOUSEWIVES’

Plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente — and soon of Huntington Beach too — will analyze what he sees in the faces of reality TV’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” in this week’s online “In Your Face CHAT.”

Part of the challenge facing him will be the changing looks of Lynne Curtin, who reportedly had a facelift over the summer. (See two sets of before and after photos — one pair above and the other pair below.)

He’ll also chat about new housewife Alexis Bellino (pictured right and at the bottom of this post), as well as the returning characters in the reality TV drama (pictured below).

Fans and non-fans of the show are invited to contribute their comments and questions during the chat.

The event is scheduled for noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28. CLICK HERE to drop in on the chat during those hours or to arrange for a reminder ahead of time.

Di Saia will also answer readers’ questions about cosmetic medicine and will discuss former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, whom he says may be “the queen of natural-looking breast  implants.”

Advance questions will be accepted by email and Twitter through mid-morning on Wednesday:

• Email cstewart@ocregister.com with “CHAT question” in the subject line; or
• Send a Twitter message referencing @InYourFace.

Or simply join us online and ask your questions live, starting at noon Pacific time Wednesday.

Because each “In Your Face CHAT” will be on the Internet, visitors can participate from anywhere - at 3 p.m. Eastern time or 8 p.m. London time, for example.
