The famous comedian is now well into her 70s, but she looks years younger. Long has she been criticized (and appraised) for her bold dabbling in plastic surgery. She’s undoubtedly raised millions of eyebrows with countless face lift and Botox procedures. And Joan Rivers isn’t showing any signs of slowing down just yet.
Just recently, the star announced her approval of another celebrity’s cosmetic procedures. Rivers commended Heidi Montag for her reported 10 operations, but also commented that the 23-year old starlet should have gone through plastic surgery sooner. Really?
Of course, the septuagenarian should be an undisputed authority on the matter of getting plastic surgery. She herself has had multiple facelifts, brow lifts, Botox treatments, tissue filler injections, jaw implants, multiple nose surgery, eye lid surgery, veneers, lipoplasty, cheek implants, breast augmentation surgery—the list practically goes on forever.
Joan Rivers even authored a book about cosmetic surgery. In it she explains the details of certain cosmetic procedures, their expected costs and estimated risks. She has been featured in numerous television shows promoting her book, along with her opinion that women should get as much plastic surgery as they possibly can.
The artist believes that good looks can make a person feel better about him/herself. No argument here, of course. Looking good does indeed boost up your self-esteem. You feel confident and special, and that you can do anything in the world. But is plastic surgery really the way to go?
Joan Rivers seems to think so. Somewhere, there just got to be a limit to how much plastic surgery a person can get. The human body can only take so much pulling, and stretching, and sculpting before it’s finally over-stressed, and complications with natural tissue arise. As always, too much of a good thing can be bad.
