The Oscar winner Helen Mirren has recently spoken out against the fact that young people desire to change their bodies by means of cosmetic or plastic surgery. According to her opinion, breast augmentations and other plastic surgeries performed on young women even look “horrific”.
In an interview with InStyle Magazine, she recently said: “The only thing I don’t like on young people is plastic surgery.” Although she had previously defended everyone’s right to have their body changed to make themselves feel happy with their own appearance, adding that she doesn’t understand why younger women would want to ruin the “purity” of their bodies.
Helen Mirren is 66-year-old and looks fabulous. Many business colleagues and journalists are wondering whether she had a facelift, since her jaw line is just as beautiful as in a substantially younger woman. A renowned U.S. plastic surgeon even said that the only way it can be explained by the fact that the 66-year-old woman had an excellently performed facelift done. However, the readers of my blogs certainly know that this does not necessarily have to be the case.
Aging of face and tissue essentially depends on the capability of the endocrine glands. Normally it cannot be sufficiently available in a 66-year-old in order to retain the facial features of a 35 to 40-year-old woman. Let’s assume that Helen Mirren started with Hormonal Regeneration® in time and the missing bioidentical hormones such as growth hormones, DHEA, testosterone, pregnenolone, and many others had been administered by her physician – this would explain why she still has the well-proportioned chin line of a much younger woman, even as a 66-year-old and without having a facelift done.
Helen may have also undergone a stem cell facelift. In this procedure, skin and subcutaneous tissue are rejuvenated and stretched by means of autologous stem cells. These stem cells are extracted from fatty tissue via a gentle liposuction procedure (most preferably by using microcannulas) and subsequently used therapeutically.
What ever the reason may be that Helen Mirren looks so fabulous, I totally agree with her: In many cases, plastic surgery in young women is undesirable. But, there might be different opinions on this matter – what do you think?
