What the Stars Say about Plastic Surgery

They've had it, they haven't had it, they're thinking of having it, they had it in the past but aren't going to do it anymore... when it comes down to it, the stars are just as conflicted about having plastic surgery as you may be.

Julianne Moore

Actress, and Bulgari model, Julianne Moore at the Bvlgari Express for Save The Children Party in Rome, on November 3, exactly 1 month before her 50th birthday.

Moore is also the face gracing the cover of November's Allure magazine where she talks about her feelings about plastic surgery. 

I hate to condemn people for doing it, but I don't believe it makes people look better. ...when you look at somebody who's had their face altered in some way, it just looks weird. We recognize emotionally that... there's something off. You don't want to take away what makes a face look human."

Writer Rebecca Mead notes that Moore's "aging is visible, if mercifully gradual" which Moore credits to staying out of the sun and using Olay SPF 15 for 25 years. Plus she covers her gray streak with a vegetable dye.

Moore also admits to hating her freckles but came to terms with them. Sort of. Her children's books' featured character is Freckleface Strawberry (one now a Broadway musical) which Mead terms "resolutely not about learning to love yourself as you are." "There was a lot of self-loathing between 7 and 49...," she told Mead.

Moore doesn't think she'll opt for Botox and such but time till tell. She says,

I think we learn as adults that there are other things that are more important."
