Justine Bateman Explains Decision to Age Naturally: "I Just Don't Give a Shit"

13. I can't imagine the pressure

To get your face cut up every several years so other people will think you look like what? I just think of the pain and the serious risk from anesthesia. Just so that your wrinkles don't offend them? That you look like what is currently fashionable? In a few years what's ok for a woman to look like will change and then more cutting on your face.

Some of the old timers who have been getting their faces cut up for decades have out dated procedures. You can see it on most older US actors' faces. (I frequently watch British Shows just so I can see normal women ageing normally.)

A lot of older actors have the area between their nose and top lip stretched out (before they used fillers) to get those wrinkles everyone gets on the top edge of their lip smoothed out. They look like ducks. I worried for years that area on my face would elongate like my ears. Guess what it didn't. Turns out it's just a bad plastic surgery technique.

And of course there is that squinty eye look that seems alien on most people. Malaria Trump had a bad case of plastic surgery squinty eyes until she had her kidneys fixed.

I think plastic surgeons have since developed better ways to get rid of normal baggy eyes. But elderly people still look weird what with their aging eyes looking out of a weirdly tight eyelid. Do they take off the eyelashes? It seems like they do.

I am so glad to see normal older people on TV and the movies that I purposely look for shows that feature them.
