Celebrities Speak Out On Plastic Surgery

By Michael Lopez

It seems like ever since Anahi had those “alterations”, the gossip blogs have picking up on an increasing plastic surgery trend. Now we’ve all seen the extremes of what too much Botox can do, but what about the occasional nip and tuck? Is it so wrong to want to “maintain” your youthful appearance? According to several of today’s hottest celebs, the answer is yes!

Earlier this year, 38-year-old actress Sofia Vergara spoke out very publicly against going under the knife.

“A woman should never have plastic surgery done to look younger,” she told Ladies Home Journal.

When speaking with Esquire Magazine, Sofia took her stance even further, criticizing the Hollywood standard of endless plastic surgeries.

"L. A. is crazy. The women all look the same now. That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak."

People’s newest "Most Beautiful Woman," Jennifer Lopez, also claims to be hesitant about undergoing cosmetic alterations. Still stunning at 40, she hasn’t completely ruled out “enhancing” herself in the future, but for now she seems very comfortable in her skin.

“I don’t see myself having any plastic surgery.,” J. Lo has said. “I don’t know how I will feel when I’m older. But I am more of a natural person and I believe in beauty not being an outside, physical thing.”

With a new single out called “Born This Way,” it’s pretty clear where pop diva Lady Gaga stands on the issue. She readily acknowledges that she’s a role model to millions of young women and has been very vocal in her lyrics about staying true to who you are.

“I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop stars who have,” Gaga recently told Harper’s Bazaar. “I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”

Interestingly a large portion of the Latino population may feel differently. A recent New York Times article reported that over 1.4 million Hispanics a year opt in for plastic surgery. And something tells us it’s not all for “deviated septums.”
