Originally Posted By Autopia Deb No I agree, I've never liked the lifted look. One thing about these pics I've noticed is a lot of the before shots have a "touched up" look where as in many cases they've picked and unflattering shot for the after (no woman looks good with her chin on her chest). Both the before and after shots of Goldie Hawn and Diana Ross look "lifted". NOT flattering.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 It seems to me that a lot of people can have one lift and look all right, even good. Some people can have two. More than two, forget it. It starts to look unnatural and just plain "not right." Joan Rivers is a prime example, and did anyone see Kenny Rogers on American Idol this year? Ay carumba! After the second, ya'll, you're not fooling anyone, and you just make yourself look freaky.

However I still think it's a personal decision if you want surgery or not. After having looked at this slideshow, I can sort of understand these famous women wanting surgery, as some of those pictures spanned more then 30 years.....who's not going to look different over time and who wants some magazine, website or whatever to keep brining up your old photo's and comparing you to how you look now? I feel a bit sorry for these women actually, my old photo's from 20 years ago are stored away, not put on public display for close-up comparison! LOL

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I agree with Deb - I wouldn't get plastic surgery myself, but I can't say for sure that if I wouldn't get it if I were famous ... Michelle Pfeiffer looks great no matter what!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Most people look terrible after plastic surgery IMHO. I love people to be themselves. The inner beauty shines through. And women that age gracefully are far more attractive IMHO. I actually love to see people who smile a lot age, their faces look so warm and compassionate.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo For me, I only believe in cosmetic surgery for burn/scar victims. Sure, it's your body so do what you want to do, but I think Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Rosanne Barr are good reasons not to do it. Now excuse me while I go for my lypo and botox treatment ;-)

Originally Posted By Mr X One famous woman who wasn't in that slide show, Delta Burke, is a good example of too much plastic... Seeing her on "Boston Legal", it was really horrible. She could barely move her mouth, had almost no facial expression left, and looking like some sort of bizarre mannequin!
