Why would a compliment like that make you so upset? Sounds good to me.

I've had a few, so bear with me...It's a picture of YOU and someone looks at it and says your granddaughter looks like you. To me that's a compliment. What am I misreading?

I had a lower face lift (pulled back the jowls and got rid of the turkey waddle, somewhat) and also an upper and lower eyelid lift as my eyelids were starting to fold over. That was 15 years ago and has lasted a fairly long time, although my turkey neck is gobble gobbling again. I think a lot of those procedures they do with fillers now, but I think they make the patient's face look surreal, puffy and lumpy (e.g., Suzanne Somers). But then the traditional face lift after a second one pulls the mouth back too far and too wide and you start to look like the Joker. Oh and don't get me started on those Botox injections between the eyes on the forehead -- see Taraji B. Henson on "Empire" for a perfect example of Batbrow. The arches are unnaturally arched and her forehead doesn't move an iota. I do not understand why these actresses would want their faces frozen and expression-less.

If I could afford it, I'd want a breast lift and maybe a slight reduction. I also heard there's a procedure called "Cool Sculpting" that can be used as an alternative to lipo on hips, tummy and thighs. Although apparently it's just as expensive -- but it's not invasive and you can go right back to work. But I can't afford it, so therefore, Spanx it is!

If I coukd afford it, I might go for the face and neck lift. But the thiught of all the things that could go wrong -- in the name of vanity -- scares me.
