We’re starting a regular feature about the world’s most Age-mazing™ women…. 40 +women who look stylish, vibrant and sexy – AMAZING FOR THEIR AGE.
This week we nominate Madonna. Although we’ve always enjoyed her music we’ve never been much of a fan of hers personally.
No doubt, she’s a smart and a savy businesswoman, but she has always seemed like a hypocrite; publishing a porn book and necking with Britanny Spears, and then writing sweet little children’s books and complaining to the world that her daughter’s jeans are too tight.
But, recently something happened that has made us like her a little bit more.
“Madge” has come out and said that she has had a facelift. Wow, is that refreshing to hear! It gets so tiring reading about stars who insist that cosmetic surgery, or even botox, is something they would personally never do, (usually because they ” hate needles”), yet they’ve obviously done something!
Madonna never went around spouting off that she’d never undergo cosmetic surgery. And when she did, she didn’t have to admit it to the world. It’s really no one’s business and she could have told asked anyone who asked, just that. Yet, she has freely admitted to having a facelift and added that she is quite pleased with the result. That took guts.
And, we must say she looks fantastic! She’s worked hard on keeping her body keeping super fit, but there’s really no exercises you can do to keep your face as toned too. Her facelift was subtle, and soft, and didn’t make her suddenly look like someone else. She had a good surgeon! For her cosmetic surgery was the right choice.
Madonna’s news is also a relief for women out there who honestly feel that cosmetic surgery is just not for them. Now, every time you look in the mirror you can rest a little easier and feel great knowing that Madonna has had a little help and you’re not aging so badly after all.
Vanessa Williams is open about it, Jacqueline Bisset thinks it’s freakish, Madonna has had it and doesn’t totally deny it, and Jayne Seymour slams it, even though she’s admits she’s tried it herself.
What are we talking about? Cosmetic Surgery, of course.
It’s so in your face these days (so to speak) that who hasn’t thought about trying botox, restalyne, or even having a little nip or tuck?
But even though it would be nice to look as young as you feel, nobody wants to feel pressured to have cosmetic surgery just because everyone else is doing it.
And who wants to go through any pain or complications or, God forbid, end up looking like Joan Rivers.
To have it, or not have it. That is the question. How do you decide? What’s really involved in having cosmetic surgery? How safe is it, and are the thousands of doctors out there practicing really qualified to do it (or have they just taken a weekend course somewhere?)
To make sure you find a legitimate board certified plastic surgeon visit The American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
Funny, but this whole cosmetic surgery debate, for or against, seems similar to the split women have when it comes to childbirth. Should you deliver “naturally” or have an epidural?
There’s no right answer. It’s a personal thing and it’s really up to you. No need to explain yourself to anyone. Just make sure that if you do choose to do it, you’ve researched it thoroughly and are realistic about the results.
In a recent survey conducted by a popular cosmetic surgery website in the U.K. about 38% of women wanted Restylane treatment as a gift from their loved one for Christmas.
Restylane is a cosmetic filling agent, made of hyaluronic acid (which is a natural component of the skin) and is used to plump up the skin.
Sounds good to us. If you want to do something about baggy skin try this first: PLUMP don’t PULL. Who wants a facelift if you don’t have to?
Sun damage and the natural aging process causes us to lose collagen and our skin begins to line, sag and wrinkle. Restylane will plump you up and give you a great result.
If you don’t want to go the Restylane route, you should be using a nightly anti-aging cream. As we age the skin is not able to hold water and gets dry and dehydrated. You can plump it up and rehydrate it with a good moisturizer.
Try using a good exfoliator first to increase cell removal. Then moisturize with a hydrating, firming cream.
And don’t forget to drink lots of water and take fish oil supplements which helps plump up the skin from the inside out!
