Deirdre Hall looks great. The majority won’t be able to look that good at 75. That’s rare. But it’s like someone said above, it’s a game of Russian Roulette. You just he no genuine way of knowing how it’ll turn out.
I think another reason people end up looking bad is that the tweaks work until they don’t. I’m going to watch Gwen Stefani lose the plot over the next decade. She’s had so much work done and for the longest time everyone was like, oh, she looks so good for her age! And for awhile that was true. She looked well preserved. But then her face became as frozen as a mask and the lips are getting bigger and the make up even heier. Someone like that is suddenly going to accept the experience of aging naturally? No way.
Courtney Cox got lucky. If I’m not mistaken, some people in her personal life told her the work she was getting done was starting to look strange so she backed off. Which is another part of it all, it’s very difficult to be objective about your own face. Especially when you’re chasing a feeling as much as a look. You want to be relieved of that bummed out feeling that comes from watching your own face age.
