I happened to look for Victoria  Principal who was on Dallas ages ago. She got a face lift. Her cheeks were nice and puffy, but her eyes almost looked like they disappeared. Even if I could afford it, I don't think I'd choose to do that.

Would you if you could? Now Joan Rivers looked great, but I don't know if the majority of those who get it done, look quite right. There's some beautiful faces out there and I enjoy them wrinkles and all.

If I would ever choose to do anything I think it would be just a (simple) jowl-type lift.  This could do me just fine.  Reality for me though is, not doing anything.

If I had the money, I might do a chin lift, but not a face lift - I'm happy with my face.  I agree that these women just don't look like themselves after having it done.  Nicole Kidman's and Marie Osmond's faces look frozen when they talk. I see Neutrogena has made Nicole a spokesperson - I think it is bad advertising when you use someone who has had work done.  I would rather see a few wrinkles, but a natural face.  I see many women like Courtney Cox are admitting they didn't even recognize their own faces.

@SilleeMee Do you think that the laser lift is a more natural look....You but just refreshed?

I never had a regular under-the-knife facelift  so I can't compare the two @dex. Most of my friends did not notice right away...they just said I was looking good. One person who I hadn't seen in over fifteen years said:  "You look the same, you haven't aged a bit."  So I guess my "facelift" was natural-looking.

@SilleeMee That sounds perfect to me.Do you have much down time afterwards?

VP used to be married to a plastic surgeon.

If she is to be believed, Cindy Crawford had the right idea to start intensive skin care at a young age.   That seems to be the secret.   You can't hit 40 or 50 and expect to just turn back the clock with lifts, injections or surgery.   You can, but it will be temporary.   

I'd like to have my eyelids done.   I may do it someday.

@dex,

No down-time really, just a day or two of redness. But the thing is, this type of lift is a set of six treatments which are done once a month. So the whole thing takes six months to complete. But you can stop at any time if you see results you are looking for. It is not for everyone. People with light to moderate sagging are more likely to benefit from this type of lift and your dermatologist will be the one who can recommend your options.
