14 DAY TRIAL // Sharon Stone, who some fans consider the epitome of “cougar,” graces the cover and pages of New You magazine and, in the accompanying article dishes tips on how to lead a healthy, happy and satisfying life.
She also talks about plastic surgery and the pressure in the industry to always look perfect, both on and off camera and, implicitly, as young as possible, the Daily Mail informs.
Though there are countless reports that Stone has had extensive work done, she maintains that nothing could be farther from the truth. That’s not to say that she’s against plastic surgery, however.
“I can’t tell you how many doctors try to sell me a face lift. I’ve even gone as far as having someone talk me into it, but when I went over and looked at pictures of myself, I thought, What are they going to lift?,” Sharon says.
She’s “come close” to getting said facelift but, luckily, she didn’t. In time, she notes, she discovered that there’s a certain sensuality in all these imperfections.
Nonetheless, she would not judge anyone for getting work done to correct something about themselves they’re not entirely happy with, but there’s a fine line between correcting and transforming yourself into an entirely different person.
Many celebrities have crossed this line, she seems to be saying. We might as well add that many stars did so such a long time ago that the line isn’t even visible anymore.
“If you have things that you want to fix, you should go right ahead and fix them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with cosmetic surgery at all. I think it’s great. But I don’t think it’s alright to distort yourself,” Sharon says.
“You can’t treat an illness with cosmetic surgery, and that’s why it would be great if there were qualified therapists in plastic surgeons’ offices, and that people would go to a therapeutic meeting before plastic surgery. I think that should be part of the FDA requirement,” she adds.
