Changing faces


Plastic surgery - once the playground of the rich and saggy - is uncomfortably common these days. It's your face so you can do what you want to, to paraphrase a 60s song. If it makes you feel better about yourself so you don't have to address the real issues of what is making you unhappy, go ahead.

Great plastic surgery is the sort that people never notice. Kylie Minogue is an example of subtle surgery and Dannii is the after-photo plastic surgeons don't use.

The catch with plastic surgery is it's like home renovations. Once you renovate the kitchen, the living areas start looking a bit tired. You render the house and then the garden doesn't match. Well, cosmetic surgery isn't too different.

Get a brow lift but then the skin left behind gathers so much that your crows feet look like a pterodactyls have partied there. Botox the lips but next to your droopy jowls, they make you look like first cousin twice removed to Donald Duck.

Growing old gracefully may come back in fashion one day. Nursing homes with distorted 20 year old faces just don't look right.
