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.

Teri Hatcher

Actress Teri Hatcher,45, here with her new bob, has been in the news a lot recently about what she has and has not done, did do, and won't do again. As I've said before, time will tell.

Popeater notes her recent Oprah appearance:

Teri Hatcher, Cybill Shepherd and a rare appearance by 'Dynasty' star Linda Evans highlighted Winfrey's show, which revealed the insecurities and physical struggles of the stars. The trio contends they've had to deal with the intense social pressure to stay youthful and flawless, which they've decided they're past obsessing over anymore.

Although, clearly they've all had work done. Maybe it's just PS fatigue. But it does raise the question: Do "we" (the public) make them do it, or do they make us do it?

In the end, where do you stand? Be told, lied to, not told, not judged? Remember, you're allowed to change your mind.

I am in awe of those women who are able to accept the signs of their age and be OK with it. I am going through the same thing and yes, sure there is one thing I'd have done to my eyes. But I'm very afraid of having it go all wrong and not looking like myself. I've seen stars actually erase the distinctive character of themselves and their look where I don't even recognize them anymore. I fear for that happening to me. So I live with the little imperfection and be allright with it. And I applaud those women who do the same.

I'm invested in a philosophy that personal style does much more for agelessness than invasive procedures. I think looking relatively natural is a beautiful ying-to a modern, youthful style -yang—if you will. Look at Miucia Prada for instance.But Hollywood /Beverly Hills has espoused a plastic appearance (and as have many sun-belt areas as well)—and women (and men—including one famous astronaut ) have taken it as an exemplary guideline. It's a pity. I know very well what Jane Fonda alludes to—looking in the mirror and seeing changes you're not happy about— (and thankfully she is so healthy that going under the knife is no big deal). But if Jane paid more attention to her style and less to wrinkles I would argue she would be a pretty (if older) version of her former self. Sherrie(www.sherriemathieson.com)

Now that's a very interesting thought: do we make them do it or do they make us do it? A lot of both, I would say. I applaud Helen Mirren and J. Moore for hanging tough, but I hate to admit that if I had the money (which I decidedly don't), I might have work done. I'd love to see a follow up article on celebrity men and their plastic surgery.

That's a Great idea! I'm hestitant to "out" anybody, but it did occur to me. The further inequity there is, they absolutely do do it, but they aren't required to discuss it, cop to it, talk about it, feel bad about it, the way women are! I'll look into it. : )
