Cosmetic Surgery Again

I have come to terms with the bizarre transformation of what was once Meg Ryan's face. But what have they done to Annette Bening? She was a beautiful woman. Now she doesn't look anything like herself. I would not have recognized her in this photo on the right from the movie "The Women." (In this scene, they must have all been looking at her before-and-after cosmetic surgery photos.)

Today, I happen to be listening to a series of interviews that NPR's Terry Gross conducted with writers. One was an interview with Fran Lebowitz, who at the time had just turned 44. Terry Gross was asking her how she felt about aging and asked if she would ever consider plastic surgery.

Lebowitz said: "I'm not morally opposed to face lifts, I just think it's better to look like an earthling, don't you?"

Bravo, Fran! Leave it to a writer to express the truth in the most simple way.

Anette Bening's appearance has really changed. You could really spot the difference between the "before and after" photos. Her wrinkles are gone and her face looks smoother. That's the power of cosmetic surgery, anything can be possible. =)

Annete really changed a lot, but she looks younger now. Well, she deserves to look fresh all the time. With all the awards and achievements she received, she has indeed become one of the cornerstones of the industry. :)

Fran Lebowitz sure delivered a powerful statement there. It shows that she wants to keep her image. There are some people who would consider having a surgery to improve their image. If you're one of them, do take note that you can check the other options as well.

Well, Fran's statement only proves that she has no insecurities regarding her physical appearance. Undergoing plastic surgery is a choice. If you think it will improve your personality, then it's all good.
