Celebrity Plastic Surgery
- By:Patrick Altoft
With aging bombshells and matinee idols trying to cheat time or waning Hollywood denizens desperate to salvage their careers, from the looks of it, celebrity plastic surgery is a runaway success.
Celebrities undergo plastic surgery seemingly with little more thought or anxiety than they would have about having to land a high-paying project. And when they're done, the results are the fodder for the paparazzi, and of plastic surgery blogs on the Internet.
Like “Madonna’s face used to look pleasantly heart-shaped and now it is more angular,” staunch Hollywood fans would always notice that something is added and something is taken away. It couldn't be cheek or jaw implants? And then fans wonder if their favorite celebrity is the type to indulge in plastic surgery.
When a married celebrity, perhaps with kids, past her 40 admits to just taking some help by having one nipped and tucked, you have to respect the candor. After all, it’s all about keeping up in a cutthroat industry populated with equally fabulous people. Apparently, the works of needles and knives guarantees one to remain afloat in the Hollywood firmament where even the younger and fuller Britney’s and Lindsay’s are suspected.
Meanwhile, trust Raquel Welch to make an argumentative take. The veteran beauty expressed her disgust over a number of women who give in to persuasion and undergo plastic surgery to look younger. Very succinctly put: “Women should shun reconstruction and love themselves for who they are… older woman develops certain sexiness and confidence.”
Still, there are those who continue to painfully deny having had any plastic surgery. Onlookers can only scoff at certain stars for ‘lying to their faces’ – because definitely so, past a certain age, lotions and potions, creams and treatments don’t work on the texture of skin. And so when the devastatingly gorgeous Cindy Crawford thanked her cosmetic surgeon for infusing her sagging skin with vitamin injections, Botox® and collagen, we were approving.
Approving is not quite our feeling for some of the celebrities who just don't know when to quit, when it comes to plastic surgery, that is. If the 60-something singer and actress Cher sings a heartfelt “If I Could Turn Back Time”, we know that she is struggling to do just that.
Yes, when stars become more addicted with every new procedure the result is almost always a priority posting for ‘celebrity plastic surgery gone bad’ page of popular plastic surgery blogs, websites and magazines. How many fans and non-fans would be gasping “awful” by every scrutiny. Then again, sensation is the stuff Hollywood is famous for.
In this case, the sensation is all over Michael Jackson. The plastic surgery transformation from a typical looking black boy to a freakish white man is bluntly terrible. Hearing The King of Pop sing is not as pleasurable as looking at the face of Jacko.
