Madonna, New York Magazine, and Hollywood Plastic Surgery

Madonna is making waves with the cover of New York Magazine and the diagram accusing her of plastic surgery. Sure, I’d imagine she’s had a few nips and tucks over the years but the magazine cover is showing some extreme surgery.

The article is claiming Madonna’s look is becoming a trend for women in their 50’s and 60’s, calling it The New Face. Instead if tight, stretched skin, that is a dead giveaway for a facelift gone wrong – the new trend is calling for plump, full, glowing skin. The key to this technique is an under-skin lifting of the muscles of the lower face, preserving essential facial “architecture.” A regimen of injections of fat and collagen and whatnot supplements this work by creating the appearance of baby fat.

The magazine’s source, Dr. David Rosenberg, said he’s seeing The New Face popup all over Hollywood: Demi Moore, Michelle Pfeiffer, Liz Hurley, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour.
