As a plastic surgery reporter who\u2019s approaching 50, I was thrilled to see it\u2014people commending Richards\u2019 honesty, praising Dr. Talei\u2019s surgical skills, and marveling at the time-machine-like results. Of course, I also scrolled upon the occasional \u201cWhy can\u2019t we just be allowed to age naturally?\u201d comment, which tends to turn up, in some form or another, on almost every plastic surgery post. The anti-interventionist who posed the question on <em>Allure<\/em>\u2019s Instagram received a fair amount of pro-choice pushback from readers (242 of them at last look), including Richards herself, who replied: \u201cI respect your opinion. I believe everyone has a choice and [can] do what&#8217;s best for them and for me this was best.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PullQuoteEmbedWrapper-sc-efqGLV dUzuPW\" data-testid=\"pullquote-embed-center\">\n<div class=\"PullQuoteEmbedContent-sc-fzpWpD HaRcE\">\n<p>More than an act of openness, it\u2019s a show of respect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"has-dropcap body dropcap has-dropcap__with-padding\">There\u2019s also been loud applause for the Richards-Talei collab from the plastic surgery community. Dr. Talei\u2019s post featuring the star\u2019s before-and-afters, along with a nuanced breakdown of her surgery, has racked up more than 222,000 likes and roughly 10,000 comments\u2014many from big names in the field. Amongst the barrage of clapping-hands and fire emojis, one comment from Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Ashkan Ghavami, MD, garnered an inordinate amount of attention: <em>Boss moves. My patients pretend like I don\u2019t exist.<\/em> \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 <em>How do you do it?<\/em> \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n<p>While made in jest, the remark effectively addressed the inexplicably youthful-looking elephant in the room. In recent years, plastic surgery confessions have increased among a certain echelon of stars (Ricki Lake shouting out her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner dropping the specs of her breast augmentation). The cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Hollywood, however, still rarely acknowledge the work they\u2019ve had done or the doctors behind it, notes Steven Teitelbaum, MD, a plastic surgeon in Santa Monica. Instead, they appear ageless on screens and red carpets but stay quiet, leaving us to wonder, or to suspend our disbelief and accept the falsehood that the rich and famous are impervious to wrinkles, jowls, and wattles. What\u2019s the harm in that? Glad you asked. The harm is that their omissions are actively reshaping our beauty standards: Snatched 60-year-olds are starting to seem normal\u2014a natural fixture in every drama we stream\u2014but in reality, measuring up means having a surgeon on call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps that\u2019s why the public response to her disclosure has been overwhelmingly positive\u2014celebratory, even.
