I, however, could use some hair plugs, a tummy tuck and nose job! I';m not gonna because eventually I wont need a Halloween mask. So, I have that going for me!
I didn't look like her when I was 20. There's a bunch of reasons for that, but I'm not sure there's surgery that would address any of them all that well.

As far as noses, my nose has been moved around just a bit over the years. Call it impact surgery. Got all my own teeth in spite of ancestry and rugby collisions. It's a miracle!

I remember the doctor saying "Now this won't hurt" before he set my broken nose. I never trusted doctors again.
 
If surgery doesn't work you can also try this...

I think I would call this, distraction...
 
And then there are people like Susana Hoffs who look better now than they did in their 20s.
I kind of think that Jennifer Aniston aged well. Here she is at 48 and to me looks better than when she was doing the series, "Friends".......or could it just be now that I am older, more mature women look better? Head scratch.

It took me a long time and a lot of experiences to look like I do. As long as I don't frighten children and other small animals, I will continue to age naturally.
I’m already well past the frightening children and small animals stage. At first i was a bit bummed but i finally embraced the horror and started having fun with my newfound ability. My neighbor has a little yap dog and whenever i stop to jawjack with my neighbor, the yap goes able sugar until i give it the eye and it tucks tail and runs to the carport and hides.

I'm 64. I look like my dad (he passed away young at 57) and am happy to see that face in the mirror every day. I'm not auditioning for a leading role in any movies. Hell, I'm not even the front man of a rinky-dink band. Besides, behind every line and wrinkle is a story. My story.
