That facelift I was planning is definitely ON HOLD now

I watched a documentary on plastic surgery gone wrong last night, and was repulsed by the procedures. I think that old-age facelift I was planning for my future is definitely on hold now.

Here's the pic of one of the women on the show. Her self-esteem was low, so she and her husband remortgaged their house to pay for a facelift which then left the nerves on one face permanently damaged:

And it's so expensive. I was thinking someday I could go to India for good surgery cheap and have stay at a five-star resort to recuperate but....this news came today:

Hospitals in Britain are on alert after a new drug-resistant "superbug" was found in around 50 patients, many of whom recently had cosmetic surgery in Pakistan and India. Experts warn it coud produce infections that a...re "almost impossible to treat

I told my husband he was just going to have to live with me as an old bag.

I loved my grandmother's aged face. I would not have had her any other way, every wrinkle was reassuring.

Not long ago I saw a shocking picture of a woman who had several facelifts and at age 75 she looked like a puppet. What a horrible thing to do.

I remember some comic commenting on some celebrity's many face lifts, saying that she "had to cross her legs to get enough slack to smile."
