There's no question that Farrah Fawcett was one of the most beautiful women of the 1970s. Even though she was only on the television series Charlie's Angles for a year, she was always associated with the show - perhaps even more than the other two "angels" Jacqueline Smith and Kate Jackson. A poster of Fawcett in an orange swimsuit sold an astonishing 30 million copies.
Perhaps because of media pressure to be beautiful, Fawcett is believed to have had a face lift that did not turn out well, eye surgery, lip augmentation, and various injection procedures like Botox and Juvederm. Fawcett underwent plastic surgery as she got older, and sometimes it didn't turn out well.But even the most beautiful people can't avoid getting older.
After the rumored face lift gone wrong, Fawcett is believed to have undergone corrective surgery that resulted in a dramatic improvement. Cosmetic surgeons have gone on record saying that it appears that she had a mid to lower face lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, Botox, and perhaps a neck tightening procedures.
Internet, television, and movies saturated with surgically perfect stars have the effect of making many ordinary people believe that the standard for good looks has been raised to a level that's unachievable for most people, and that plastic surgery is the only way to "compete" these days. Some people point to pictures of Fawcett after her 2004 surgery as a cautionary tale that sometimes natural aging is more attractive than trying to achieve a younger look. Others decry the plastic surgery industry overall for promoting anti-aging procedures as "the norm."
Breast augmentation is a common procedure even for women with average sized breasts and has been for decades. Ever since her rise to stardom in the 1970s, there has been speculation that Fawcett had breast implants. She never commented one way or the other on that or on any other surgery she had done.
There is no way of knowing what Fawcett would have looked like had she aged naturally since becoming such a huge star in the 1970s. But she certainly did as much as she could to keep her stunning good looks for as long as possible. One hopes that she felt confident after undergoing cosmetic procedures, and that any physical pain from them was minimal. Sadly, we'll never know what her thoughts and feelings were about aging and plastic surgery. - 30516
