Plastic surgery or wrinkles in time?

If my avatar wore glasses...that's what I look like now.

I say go for it...but get somebody competent to do it...like Chip Foose.

How about Dick Clark? Seems like for a couple decades, he did not age at all.
Here he is at age 80+.
If he did use plastic surgery, then he had a very good doc.

Saves nine, doesn't it?

A physician friend of my dad's, many years ago, was talking about the plastic surgery his office had started offering. I voiced my skepticism about it. His wife said, "Oh, but it makes you feel so much better about yourself." My reaction was that if you need surgery to feel better about yourself, you have much more serious issues than you're going to solve by surgery. I'm glad the technology exists for helping people who have suffered disfiguring injuries, burn victims and such. But people are beautiful if they just take care of what God gave 'em, and years bring dignity.

I know this girl who had quite a schnoz and she got a little bit taken off the bump and it looks great. She's really happy with it. Everything in moderation.

Charlie Brown had a secret cartoon plastic surgeon. The surgeon died and left poor old Charlie without help. Our Talkbass reporters caught this candid moment between Linus and Charlie last week.

Knew a girl in high school who had the same thing done. She made a mistake though. Instead of getting a little bit taken off she came back from summer vacation with a cute little nose. It never looked right on her face.

After Dick Clark's demise Talkbass investigators found a very disturbing portrait of Mr. Clark hidden in a back room at the Clark Mansion.

I've seen enough people suffer complications from medical procedures that I don't understand why anyone would have them done if they were not necessary. Surgeries of any kind of a last resort, in my book.

My feelings, exactly.

My wife did the same thing as a young adult. I've never seen her old nose (not even in pics), but she says it's a big improvement. My nose has always made me somewhat unhappy, though. I've never liked how it looks. People have asked over the years if it was ever broken, but it hasn't been. I don't plan on fixing it, though.

Good doctors can work magic, but as you said, everything in moderation.

Somehow, I pictured you differently. Oops, I saw the rest of your post. Sorry.

There are people out there who have spent more on plastic surgery than I will probably ever have. They tend to look like they have plastic surgery, and all start to look distantly related and subtly cartoon-ish. If the intention is to trick me into thinking that you are either younger than you are or ageing more gracefully than you are then 1) I can look up your age on Wikipedia and 2) you aren't fooling me. Your $million deceit isn't working, and the only people that would care enough are the people that aren't buying your scam.

Johnny Hallyday, who died a week back, ruined his appearance with ill-advised plastic surgery:

I think some people look better as they age. I know it is very subjective but here is my example:
