Grow Old Gracefully

...and why not? Hopefully you do not fall victim to publicity agents paid to say their celebrity clients are not aging, or are aging gracefully and look gorgeous with firm jawlines at 70 years old. The only reason they may look great for their 70th birthday is because they got all their facelifts at ages 40, 50 and 60.

If you can afford plastic surgery, you are only pleasing yourself, which may be enough. But you are not fooling anyone and can never look 20 or 30 ever again. Face it, and face your face squarely in the mirror.

If you were plain and ugly in your 20's you will still be that way when you get old with or without plastic surgery, only a few years might be erased from that jawline or eye area. Which is okay, just don't think the masses that you pass by everyday will wonder, gosh, who is that gorgeous young chick? That will only happen in your own mind, and don't let it.

What if you were gorgeous as a young person? Well, sorry, it will fade, such is the curse of being beautiful. Case in point, yes, I thought Jacqueline Bisset was a pretty young star, she has aged like all us mortals, you can tell she has had a facelift. No plastic surgeon can restore your face, they can only patch up what has aged. 

Plain Jane at 35 and still a Plain Jane at 75. Doctors cannot make you pretty. Joan Rivers should've have stopped at the first nose job, kept her hair a darker blonde, and called it a night. All that money wasted on her face when surgical tape under a wig for performances would have worked just as well.

Remember, after your nose job, other points of your face will be emphasized. After Angelina's first nose job, you can see her mouth protrudes and the lower chin/under-bite is more prominent.

So what is the solution? If plastic surgery makes you happy then go ahead, but remember, it is only in your mind that you somehow will look young. If someone is rude enough to make fun of how you look just because you accept growing old without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on your face, then say nothing and politely walk away from those people. Also keep in mind, plastic surgery is not an exact science. Doctors can botch it up and you have to suffer through corrective surgeries.

Remember no matter how much a person spends on their face, we all age, so decide on how you will spend your energies, time, money, and you can look great at any age, it just takes a little STYLE.
