Facial Plastic Surgery Is A Slippery Slope…Literally
July 28, 2008 / 1:02 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierAfter seeing everyone from Joan Rivers to Madonna manage their aging faces, I have come to the conclusion that facial plastic surgery does not work. Well, if your definition of beautiful is a strangely shiny and taught skin and bizarrely jutting cheekbones, it works. Otherwise, it’s just plain freaky.
Madonna was never the most beautiful woman, but she wasn’t ugly. She had an interesting face, nice skin and expressive eyes. But, look at her now. Her face is just…..wrong.
Meanwhile aging gracefully never looked so good. I wonder, though, if she’s had work too or is her beauty just good genetics?
I’m thinking that plastic surgery, especially for the face, is something to avoid.
Men are no better. Ew!

Quite so.
Reconstructive surgery (after an accident, or to correct a birth defect) is one thing.
But to attempt to cheat the clock? What vanity.
You earned it. Flaunt it.

For over-plastic-surgeried, all these celebs have really got to work to beat Michael Jackson & Liberace.
In heroic fantasy, I’ve always wondered about the descriptions of parahumans in fiction. Elves, Faeries, and other Fey Folk; the Vadhagh, Eldren, and Melniboneans of Michael Moorcock’s fantasy novels; all described as “not-men”, almost but not quite human.
After the picture used as this entry’s icon, I wonder no more.
