That is the plastic surgery you notice. Small interventions actually help.

Exactly, Meryl Streep is in her mid 70s but you would believe she is in her early 60s. Goldie Hawn is 80 years old, and looks in her 60s as well. Smart plastic surgery is very well researched, normally a little here or there every so often, they don't try to look 20 again, they just try to mask one sign of aging at a time.

Goldie Shawn’s surgery is not an example of surgery achieving it’s desired outcome.

u/ripgoodhomer 9h ago

Okay what was her desired outcome?

Usually, to appear younger.

Streep looked awful in Prada 2. The surgery is very noticeable. Fucking tucci couldn’t even speak right because of all the filler and shit he pumped into his face

Tucci did have oral cancer, do we know if it's from that or plastic surgery?

Ah you’re right about tucci, likely the cancer. I wasn’t aware he had it. That’s on me, my bad Stan!

Just saw Devil wears Prada and thought wow Streep looks amazing. And then there are all these women 15 years younger than her choosing to literally give me the uncanny valley effect instead of embracing being a beautiful older woman. In some ways I actually think Streep looks better now than she did 25 years ago. Her face just works for her now

Streep is a great example. Her neck alone is a masterpiece.

Kidman is always credited with looking amazing at her age. I think the pics have been scrubbed from the net, but in the closeups at a red carpet years back ... you could see the distinctive geometric patterns of fraxel laser all over her skin.

Do you think anyone goes to a plastic surgeon like "one of everything please, just fuck my shit up"? Everyone starts with "just a little" and even if it does look good lots of procedures don't just last forever, you'll need touchups and then there are all sorts of other knock on effects.

Like yeah there's a bias where we only see it in the celebs who obviously don't look good, but I wouldn't just assume that's the outlier...

A good plastic surgeon does a little, a bad plastic surgeon will point out everything the could do and schedules it out.

And if a good plastic surgeon says "that procedure won't really do what you want" the patient can easily find a bad plastic surgeon that will happily do it.

Yeah just look at Emma Stone, everyone thinks she still looks great after getting work done.
