Celebs and Plastic Surgery

[ChrisL]

So . . . what do you think about celebs and plastic surgery? Do you think they've crossed a line in order to maintain their beauty and youth? What do you think about the doctors who perform these surgeries. Some of them will perform multiple surgeries on the same patient, even though there are always risks involved with general anesthesia.

Does anyone else think that some celebrities who have had plastic surgery look like the Joker?

Let's compare, shall we?

Good grief, if anyone does NOT need plastic surgery, it is Katherine Zeta Jones!!!

I think most of them look worse than they would have if they just aged naturally. Taking care of your body and your skin, using a bit of cosmetics, and for women, coloring the hair until at some point when it looks ridiculous: that's good enough. Most of those who have done plastic surgery look freakish. IMO.

Joanne Woodward is one of the film actresses I admire. She allowed herself to age naturally. I believe she did that because of personal self confidence. That in itself is admirable.

and some of them are YOUNG when they get their first operation. There's Megan Fox. She is still stunningly beautiful, but I think she was prettier before.

Exactly, she is lovely woman! It's kind of rotten when you think of the pressure that Hollywood puts upon women to remain young-looking. You don't see that kind of pressure on men because they aren't judged on their appearance alone. This, of course, overflows into regular society and we feel this pressure that we always have to look beautiful and young.

I am not familiar with this actress. Which is before and which is after?

But I agree with the point: they definitely should not do anything to themselves when they are young: the only thing that seems reasonable to me is if you have a really bad nose. I can understand a nose job in that case. If it is truly awful, not just imperfect.

That second woman is Kim Novak. I was shocked.

If you are referring to Megan Fox, the first one is the before and the second one is after.

and let's not ignore the "strictly" cosmetic plastic surgeons here either. I'm quite sure that when women go in their to have a procedure, they are busy pointing out her "flaws" in order to convince her to get even more surgery. It seems a bit unethical IMO.

However, most plastic surgeons, who aren't strictly into the purely cosmetic side of plastic surgery, are invaluable for reconstructing people's faces who have been in accidents, etc.

It looks so unnatural and "joker" like IMO.

The fountain of youth is their motivator and most of them look like old people trying to look young. Shame Elizabeth Taylor started the trend when she was 14 and had a nose clip. [according to to an article I read, that may or may not be truthful]

The only thing moving on the faces of many, are the lips, and these days the upper one is filled with collagen, making it larger than the bottom one which is usually 1.5 times larger than the top one at birth.

Men are having it done too, now. Hollyweird! Plastic fantastic.

I feel bad for these people vanity made them go under thee knife and like bad Karma they come out worse than before.

Yup, Michael Jackson and Bruce Jenner immediately come to mind!

Good God! MJ was SO much cuter before.

Yes they are.

Joan Rivers, in an interview, said she respected her surgeon who always told her whether she should have something more done and he would say, no, at least not yet. He surely is a skilled surgeon. He made her look just as she wished, with no evidence of botching.

 

[ChrisL]

This one is a shocker. This is Heidi Montag, and I believe she started having operations at just 17 years old. She looks like a completely different person now, and I thought she was just adorable before. Now, she just looks like another run of the mill porn star, IMO. She had plastic surgery on just about EVERYTHING on her body.

Oh, most of them are definitely skilled, but every time you go under general anesthesia there is the risk of dying or other horrible complications.

Yeah, well, this isn't a political thread. It's about celebrities and the pressure they are under to look young and beautiful at all costs.

 

[ChrisL]

If I were one of Heidi Montag's parents, I would be absolutely heartbroken. I would have told her to please don't do this and that she is still so young, vibrant and gorgeous.

I cannot imagine having my daughter (I don't have a daughter to be clear, just imagining - lol) coming home and looking like a completely different person, because as her parent I would think she was already the most beautiful girl in the world.
