Jamie Lee Curtis, 62, Says Plastic Surgery Is ‘Wiping Out Generations of Beauty’
I actually never thought about it in these exact words, only in a case by case individual way

© Mondadori Portfolio - Getty Images Jamie Lee Curtis, 62, has dabbled with cosmetic procedures, but now warns against it, “once you mess with your face, you can’t get it back,” she says.
No matter the topic, Jamie Lee Curtis has always spoken her mind—and her latest comments are taking unrealistic beauty standards to task. In a new interview with Fast Company, Curtis, 62, spoke out against plastic surgery and trendy cosmetic procedures: “The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty,” the Knives Out actress said. “Once you mess with your face, you can’t get it back.” Curtis speaks from experience; she’s long been open about the fact that she’s dabbled with many different types of procedures. “I’ve had a little lipo. I’ve had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it,” she told More in 2002. “It’s such a fraud. And I’m the one perpetuating it.”

She's right. You see it a lot now with girls my age and younger. The lip fillers seem to be the most popular. And it looks fucking stupid. What's so great about going around with a mouth that looks like a fish who's just lost a fight with a wasp? | |

I agree, especially when it comes to those overblown lips with hyaluronic acid or whatever it´s called. It looks stupid and is a major turn-off for me. I understand why people want to use some botox on their foreheads but it can look very ridiculous if you´re not careful. Meg Ryan for example looks so strange these days. I prefer women who look natural. Beauty is more than just wrinkle-free skin. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

I don't know if it's a choice but a lot of stars do it to stay relevant. Once stars age not many scripts come their way. Their acting industry is brutal........... I could assume its the same for the music industry. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture!

I know people personally who have gotten lip procedures done and it makes me sad cause they were naturally beautiful before it and couldn’t see it. I have a small upper lip so had thought about it too, but not interested in altering anything | |

You're better off looking natural than looking like the creature from the black lagoon. | |

I think there is surgery and surgery though
A single nose job Pinning ears back Dental work Mole removal Breast augmentation This sort of stuff can make a huge difference to people's self esteem, I don't think it's bad. I haven't partaken myself but I don't think it's bad. It's when it escalates. [Edited 10/8/21 5:44am] | |

It's true what many of you are saying. People almost start looking like clones
Escape From LA had a section of area where plastic surgery and such was a horror story | |

Men are seen to age better than women. Sadly that is sexist because older women are hot. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

I think every plastic surgery clinic should have big photos of Michael Jackson in his later years on the walls with the question: do you really want to look like this? If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

You're better off looking natural than looking like the creature from the black lagoon. Don’t worry, I won’t get any at all, have to appreciate what my creator gave me, plus I always have lip liner as a choice. I feel sorry for those who feel they had to resort to it. I think one of my friends who got it done is trying to look white and it makes me sad for her cause her sister made a post about colourism/shadism in her family when younger, and it’s I’m like seeing the result of that and no one else is being honest about it and just liking the pic [Edited 10/8/21 16:11pm] | |

She really has overdone it with the procedures and should have aged naturally | |

In fact, before I had Isabelle as my avatar on the org, I used to use a picture of myself without makeup. I got no complaints . And even if I did, who am I trying to impress? I'm happy with my appearance and that's all I really care about. Besides, the last time I wore makeup, I was wearing lip gloss and my husband said it looked like I'd just come back from KFC | |

I think once you come addicted to it then it's a problem. Women get back pains so yeah that is ok to get breast reduction, Dental work yeah sure can be a health issue. | |

After watching several episodes of Botched it's obvious it's very much a part of the normal world now. I just think of Twilight Zone, "Number 12 Looks Just Like You." It's basically where we are headed. [Edited 10/8/21 18:44pm] Time keeps on slipping into the future...

Very excited for that A great example of plastic surgery ruining a natural beauty is Meg Ryan and recently Famke Jannsen got a botched surgery [Edited 10/8/21 23:18pm] | |

Some men think women have nothing better to do than please the men in their lives. But like I said, that's very much a male belief. | |

Plastic surgery used to be very much a taboo subject. But you mention Botox now and nobody even raises an eyebrow. | |

Isn't that the purpose of Botox | |

I don't buy that | |

Isn't the new thing is girls in their 20s getting plastic surgery? I think they refer to it as pre-maintenance botox or something like that. It's just sad. I love Jamie Lee Curtis and how she's always willing to open up about herself and subjects like this. She is the best! | |
