When we think of plastic surgery many of our minds instantly jump to celebrities and plastic surgery, unless of course they live in LA, where the practice seems almost as common as getting the flu shot. However, even among the world of the rich and famous there is still a large divide over plastic surgery, and careful consideration among celebrities about the pros and cons of plastic surgery. In fact, as you could clearly see at the Oscars this year, for those who watched closely, for every star that has underwent the knife, there is a star that will vehemently state they oppose the practice. For example, Jennifer Hudson age 28 has publicly stated she would never get plastic surgery or even consider it, but at the same time notes that she was already blessed with height, great breasts, and luscious lips, which makes it hard to take her opinion seriously. On the other hand, Sarah Jessica Parker is known for defending the lines in her face and stating that she will never have Botox or Juvederm shots because she has aged and they are a part of who she is now.
One celebrity who appears to be weighing the pros and cons of plastic surgery is Tina Fey who has undergone some laser skin treatments, but believes Botox is out of the question and unhealthy. She is not the only celeb, who splits the line somewhere in the middle of the debate, such as Kathy Griffin who has been on both sides of the plastic surgery fence. Griffin suffered serious side effects when she had liposuction in the late nineties, and made many statements about how horrible it was, but then she headed right back under the knife in the early 2000s getting a nose job, dental veneers, a chemical peel, and Botox, which makes her a walking case study of the pros and cons of plastic surgery.
Remember, however, that celebrities are just people like you and me. When they undergo plastic surgery they are hoping for the same basic results as all of us and there also subject to the same risks, benefits, and indications for any given procedure. Therefore, it is very important that anyone undergoing plastic surgery become fully informed prior to going under the knife. Be sure to consider the pro and cons of plastic surgery, not just the lastest news about celebrities and plastic surgery.
