As an almost 64 year old who looks in the mirror and sees her grandmother looking back at her, I am reminded again, that old age is not for the faint hearted... But it is a privilege. I have been young, I've been a mature, confident mother, now I get to master wisdom, and I think you do it better when you look the part. And it's cheaper!
And you don't exude a sense of desperation to stay young and relevant because you know that you are intrinsically valuable, therefore forever relevant, and you've gained wisdom through experience which can never be replicated in youth. It's not always easy for once undeniably gorgeous young women to age gracefully without enhancements, especially in cities such as Los Angeles. Still, without cosmetic surgery we are able to retain our curiosity about how we will naturally outwardly evolve. There's a sort of comfort that comes with looking in the mirror and finding the culmination of life experiences reflected upon the map of our natural facial features. It's the serenity of a grandmother (regardless if there are children or grandchildren in her life) who accepts herself along with everything positive and negative which has shaped her through the years. Same is true for everyone, of course, the culture only puts more pressure upon women to look eternally, artificially young.
I am a couple of years younger than Madonna. I often say that there comes a point when "the boat springs leaks" faster than you can plug them, and you can reach a point where the face/body parts just aren't cohesive. Gravity is relentless, bone density thins, tissues break down beyond the ability for the body to regenerate. Looking "good for my age" and being as healthy as possible is the goal for me, not looking eternally 20.
I am right there with ya sista🙂 Although some people dislike the expression looking good for your age I'll take it any day of the week! I just don't want to look older than I am and some people do. People think they can turn back the clock by getting plastic surgery but it just keeps on ticking😆
I love that Madonna said that people making fun of her awful plastic surgery is ageism, when in reality being so scared of old age that you butcher your face is the ultimate sign of ageism.
Yes, so true! Madonna is a narcissist, and a classic tactic they use is "projection" and "gaslighting" to try to divert the blame or responsibility away from themselves...
Women can’t win, they age naturally then it’s constantly pointed out that they’re (shock horror) aging, they try to mask it with procedures and they’re mocked for it. It’s not Madonna that’s ageist it’s society.
@@joycegibbs5267 no it’s society that’s gaslighting. No one gets this work amount done without outward pressure. Society pushes them to mask aging by constantly talking about women as they age and then they’re mocked for it by the same society which calls THEM ageist - THAT is gaslighting.
My grandson showed me a picture he found from 25 years ago of me and his granddad. I thought to myself, "Hey, look how young and cute we were!" Then he blurted out, "I don't like this picture! You and Pop don't look like you! I like your hair, face now, and wrinkles!" He doesn't mind we look older. He actually prefers it. He knows who we really are. What a blessing-
My grandchildren say the same thing. I don’t mind aging, it’s life. I’m 76, a great grandmother, I just wish mentally I wasn’t 30ish. There are so many things I’d love to do or love to wear and it’s not age appropriate.
@@mchapman132anything is age appropriate once you’re an adult! you can choose to wear what makes you happy, at any age. live YOUR life the way YOU want to. seriously.
@@mars_mallow_ - Well, I have to disagree a bit. When I was young I’d wear all the popular trends……mini skirts, bell bottoms, lace blouses with no bra! I’m not going to wear ripped jeans, I don’t care how pricey they are. I’d love to wear 5” heels….not anymore. I’d love to wear a bikini again, but no one wants to see their great grandmother in a bikini.
I dont want to be superficial or criticize anyone for their beauty choices, but I think these videos are helpful. We should know that this isnt natural so we aren't so hard on ourselves.
Totally agree ! in our society women are not allowed to grow old , especially true for show business ´s women. First face lift in her mid 30’s ! What a pity ! I wouldn’t want to be in that women’s shoes. Life is so miserable when your image is that important .
Madonna is accusing people of being "ageist" but she's the one who's trying to literally stop age from happening. She is the one who is terrified of it. So who really is the ageist here?
I agree. She is the one self projecting her own deep seeded insecurities & ageist fear of getting old. Her eyes look full of resentment, angry, bitter & cold. She will turn 65 on her next birthday. Medicare for Madonna in August 2023.
She’s not saying people are ageist about her face, shes saying people are ageist because people keep telling her to act her age. They’re always telling her how to be 😂 She’s allowed to look and act how she wants and all you couch potatoes always have something to say. Fixing your face isn’t ageist, it’s societal pressure because no one ever shuts up about anything. She wants to appear younger because in this world that’s the only way to stay popular as a woman in her industry. Just cause your family doesn’t care how old you look, doesn’t mean that the people around her do. Over time, over all changes, people have had something negative to say. Look at Lil Kim… She’s a celebrity and has been her whole life, she’s Madonna… You may not care but you’re literally one person she’ll never know exists. No one cares to watch you sing or dance. You’re not known internationally by your first name. There are tens of thousands of people minimum always on her case. That fucks with your head and how you see yourself. You always think you need to fix something. You saying she shouldn’t look like THAT will make people like her want to go in and fix more. Just cause you’re on this side of the argument doesn’t mean people like y’all aren’t part of the problem. Take yourself off your high horse. Look at the mirror and fix yourself. How people look really isn’t any way, shape, or form, anyone’s business. Have an opinion, but dont be ignorant about the effects of voicing it. You probably loved Madonna as a kid and now hate on her cause she looks different. 🗑️ 😂 Fake fans everywhere, mean women on every corner.
Keep up Sailor. People mocked her for aging and society shoves out those who do especially in her field. Now that she has had surgeries to combat this look of age they mock her still. So yes it actually does go back to ageism. You will find article dates article about aging women in Hollywood where they show a picture of them young then say omg what happened. Its quite sick but it's the world many live in. Why comment if you dont even know what you are talking about? The real issue is it's disgusting to even comment on her or anyones looks. Who are you to do so?

@@HitItMusicNL cosmetic procedures are medical procedures and she has the right to choose what she wants with her body. It may be degrading in your eyes but someone's body is none of your business.
As a recovering heroin addict celebrating 15 years clean, I’m just now hitting forty. I don’t want to get old of course, but it is a damn privilege to have gotten here. I have lost so many friends at a young age. They never got this chance. I am so grateful.
Yo, mad... AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry for the outburst! But GOddamn, I was not expecting that. What does that have to do!?!? I get it, i get it sorry, sorry, getting old... It just hit me different, just why in a Madonna plastic surgery video... "As a recovering heroin addict..." Maybe I'm twisted. Good work though! Keep up the good work for real, addiction is basically... Hardest level of problem in my opinion. You're in a constant psychosis for years. Been there... Still there. Anyway, peace!
Good for you. Im 56 and ain't gonna lie sometimes it's a literal pain getting older and then I remember my family and friends who didn't make it this far. Stay clean.
My daughter seems obsessed with wrinkles. She wanted me to get Botox and consider surgery. I'm going on 80. My reply was: " I've earned every one of these wrinkles. I'm keeping them. End of conversation." However, she is always buying me creams for my face and body. I'm sure a normal person would start to get a complex, but I consider myself just fine. It can't be that bad I've had two marriage proposals in the last 3 years....but just not ready for another marriage. I'm content and happy on my own with my wrinkles.
If you're going on 80 and receiving marriage proposals, it sounds like someone is jealous. Buy your daughter anti-wrinkle cream and wait for the reaction. 😉👍
As a person that likes skincare, I think people need to be very careful with the slippery slope that "self care" can be. Sure, avoid wrinkles if YOU want to, but don't force or shame other people's body. Also, don't shame yourself for a natural process.
When I was in highschool, I wanted a nose job. I went to get a consultation and was close to doing it, but I was so afraid of it being botched or my face drastically changing that I decided to work on my confidence and self esteem instead. I think this decision has helped me accept aging as well. ETA: this was all before social media, but I was an avid reader of fashion magazines so the pressure was always there. Thank you all for the supportive comments! Everyone, please enjoy and celebrate your unique beauty amidst all of these fleeting aesthetic trends-our one life is all we have.
Same for me...And my best friends told me that they loved my nose, and would not speak to me again if I changed it.. Nothing like a bit of tough love from friends that I will cherish forever...
When in elementary school I was mocked by one of the boys cause of my nose. I feel insecure about my nose til today ,, but I'm afraid of the effects of plastic surgery
“The neck never lies” The same goes for the hands. It amazes me that people who use plastic surgery on their face to “look younger” it’s always the hands that tell the truth and,they are never addressed.
notice madonna always wears gloves now. Caught a look at her hands a few years ago- very ropey, very old looking, mainly because madonna is so thin I think, and has little body fat, makes it worse.
@@iconc1402 I agree. She's incredibly fit, but no longer has that thin layer of fat most younger women would have to round them out. Unfortunately that lack of fat can make a person look so much older. Fillers can't compensate for that without looking unnatural. She's always been so beautiful and will always be, but perhaps putting on a little as three to five pounds can give her a more natural look on both hands and face.
I remember on my wedding day my husband’s aunt drove me to the church and she was in her 70’s. She was a very glamorous “dressed to the nines” lady. She looked at me, 26yrs in my beautiful wedding dress, hair in a gorgeous bun with silk wrapped around and tulle cascading down, my gown fit like a glove and I was a dancer and had the figure of a rockette… she said, “Hunny, gettin old ain’t for sissies!!! I’ll never forget that and I adored her! I’m 57 now and she was right! I don’t have Madonna’s money and I sure don’t look 26 anymore! But that’s life and I’m happy still married, have 2 great kids in their 20’s and count my blessings everyday!🤩😍🌈
I’m hoping that 57 is actually easier mentally than right now for me at 50. I’m not yet comfortable with the fact that I am appearing older … so I’m in disbelief that it is happening … my girlfriends who have completed their menopause crap, and have hit 55+ seem more comfortable in their skin - and it shows with their smiles, acceptance and confidence. I have to get ready for a party right now … and am feeling a little meh. I think silk gulp some champagne to get me to relax…. 😉 Nice post … you sound fantastic. 😘
The problem is - doing all this stuff to your face does not end up making you look young and beautiful and glamorous. Instead it makes you look increasingly strange and asymmetrical and puffy. People no longer compliment you but instead discuss how disturbing you appear.
It is possible to have plastic surgery and still look natural. A great surgeon and restraint is necessary. I think Jane Fonda is a great example. Yes, she's had work done, and she does look younger. No, she doesn't look like an alien.
@@always_b_natural703 re-read what you said. You used the word “ natural “ to describe an unnatural procedure that alters one’s normal appearance. Really?
I like Dr Gary's approch to plastic surgery of celebreties. He doesn't ridicule or make things sound sensational. He just points out interesting traits and often quietly concerned about extreme cases. Dr Gary is a decent fellow.
Hes a professional person . Why would he ridicule her ? Why would anyone ? Thers huge pressure on people like her to remain youthful looking it's her career depending on it . I do admire people who age naturally . Beauty shines from within through all the ageing .
@@whoswhoo I'd say highly ethical and professional and exactly the way one would expect a health specialist to act. Especially someone in such a complex and intimate speciality as aesthetic surgery. Way to go Dr.Gary!!! I think you should write a book/seminar course for the colleagues explaining how to be tactful, professional and calming around a patient, especially difficult/demanding/lost ones.
I grew up in the early years of Madonna. Definitely a fan. She was beautiful, talented, always pushing the limits. But youth is short-lived and some people want it to last forever. It's a battle everyone loses.
She looks like a demon...not a coincidence smh ...are you blind to the fact that they are working to remove your freedoms...these people are as evil as they look
I stumbled upon your site and I really appreciate your thoughtful, careful and non-judgmental discussion of cosmetic surgery techniques and who might have had what. I believe that aging is an individual process and everyone should be free to do what they (and their wallet) want and can handle. As a 58 year old woman, I am cautiously entering the world of Botox and fillers. I don't want to look younger, but just as good as I can for my age. Aging is a gift that I am so blessed to have right now, but a few nonsurgical boosts to Mother Nature make me feel better.
I like what Carrie fisher said, “I didn’t know I was supposed to never change.” She was 22 in Star Wars, and people were comparing her to those days more than 30 years later …
This always gets on my nerves. I watched a video on RUclips a while ago where they were comparing the look of actors when they were in their late teens or twenties to when they were in their seventies and eighties and saying how badly they’d aged. Er …. they’re in their eighties - they’re entitled to look eighty believe it or not! But that last picture of Madonna barely looks like her.
@@janicevango5791 It's true that many of these stars start to look truly bizarre after having so many surgical procedures, think of Faye Dunaway and Priscilla Presley. But it's really no surprise when you have people microassessing every wrinkle, every tiny sag of the skin, they can't help but feel they have to stave off that criticism. I wish we could just get over this obsession with youth and the idea that even after 60, 70 or 80 we still need to match up to that beauty standard. And, of course, it's always women who are brutally assessed as being inadequate.
What she didn't know is that she can age, but it will be her younger self who will get more admiration. Celebs have trouble living with that because they tend to be vain and narcissistic.
@@RUclipssucks-m9bit's not that, many celebrities are actually depressed. The truth is they have difficulty getting work as they age, especially women.
I could be wrong but I’m assuming as celebrities get older the start enjoying good food because they spent years starving themselves to look good. so as they began to gain weight it fills their face out so they go under the knife trying to keep that slim structure. personally at 60 that’s really a time to embrace those age marks and wrinkles. those surgeries are making her look like “saw” the movie!
When you're in your 60's and everyone knows it, you aren't fooling people as they know you. To rearrange your face so many times ends in disaster, just my opinion. Kenny Rodgers is a textbook example. He looked just fine for an older man but we know how that turned out. I'm the same age as Madonna and satisfied with the aging look. Maybe having oily skin helps keep wrinkles down.?
sad about what? Do you think she is unhappy? Anyway, this video is out of date with what she looks like now - she has some much-needed work done (face lift and cheek implants) and she looks WAY better. Probably still "sad" to people like you, though.
@@xBINARYGODx she very easily could be unhappy....you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Losing her mother at a young age I'm sure wasn't great psychologically on her. I know watching my mother take her last breath (it's a sound I will never forget) in my early 30s was awful....and changed me. I can only what happened to Madonna at 6.
I agree, but of course his job depends on his patients not feeling judged. Which is also why he fails to question any of the premises that all of this is based on: did madonna REALLY need to look young to further her career, or could it have been possible to use her power to actually challenge the dominant idea that old = bad ?
He's my doctor and he's a wonderful doctor and skilled surgeon. He stays abreast of the latest developments, good and bad, he's passionate about his work, his approach is conservative and he limits the sorts of work he will perform to what he considers tried and true. I can't use him for everything, but what he does do for me is awesome.
I’m 63, around the same as she is. I’m glad I have just left it all alone. I’m a community theater actress, and I like the roles I’ve been able to play in recent years. Of course, I never could afford this anyway, but even Botox seems terrifying to me. In my opinion you have your chance to be young, then it’s other’s turn to be the young ones. Wear your sunscreen, moisturize, drink water, don’t smoke cigs or drink alcohol. And smile! You always look younger when you’re relaxed and happy.
Yeah I'm the same ...i mean if you have any work done on any part of your body you can hide it...but not the face ... madonna's face is just horrific ...im sorry but she has destroyed her face just like Michael Jackson ....im just go scared to do anything but its the cost too.
I'm 57. People tell me I look a few years younger than my stated age. I think they're just being polite. I did have a septorhinoplasty at age 27 because my nose was broke in 9th grade gym class. I have acne scars, seborrheic dermatitis of the nose and malasma of the posterior jaw region (from years of oral contraceptives). Sure there's things I wish I could afford to do but this is who I am. I've had a very hard life. I've earned every flaw along with a badge of honor on my sleeve. I have 10 classmates that I bet wish they were alive to embrace the aging process.
I'm 53 and absolutely detest getting older. When I catch glimpses of myself I can't believe it's really me. I dont smoke or drink. One of my biggest passions is weight lifting so I stay active; I look early 50's like I should, and still absolutely detest getting older. It's not a badge of honor for me. I find nothing dignified about wrinkles, and grey hair from what I'm experiencing. Old people look like those old apple dolls, like charicatures of their real selves. I keep looking for the good, I keep struggling to find the positives of getting older. I'm not finding many... if any. I pray for the attitude and peace u have with it.
The idea of someone cutting the skin on my face and hiking it up like a pair of pants really freaks me the f out! Also, this was incredibly informative and interesting!
You have a wonderful way of being kind in these react videos! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on her progress. She's certainly changed a lot over the years.
I'm 53, and I'm very happy getting older, wiser and strangely, happier! I won't have plastic surgery, ever. To me, well-being and spirituality matter, not looks. Happiness from within shows and reflects onto the People we care for, and ourselves. Take care!
LOL THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL SURGEON.ONLY NIT WITS POST THIS CRAP BC ITS SELFISH & SELF SERVING & HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TEACHING OR COMPASSION FOR PATIENTS IT ONLY SHOWS THIS IS LAST PERSON TO TRUST IF YOU NEED A FACIAL PROCEDURE. PLASTIC SURGERY NOT MY FAVORITE BUT GENERAL SURGERY & vascular not face carving or giving minors breast reductions or augmentation.
I recently saw Helen Mirren on the Graham Norton show (it's about a year old) and I was shocked that she clearly has not had any kind of cosmetic augmentation = RESPECT.
I agree....also look at other great British dames, Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Vanessa Redgrave, Lynn Redgrave. They're queens of acting and personalities!
Hello there. I admire Helen Mirren as an actress but I think she has had some work done. I noticed that the lines under her eyes (laughter lines) swept upwards which I think is a sure sign of a face lift.
The saddest part of this is that the body still ages no matter what. There is no amount of surgeries that can slow or stop the aging process. Aging is part of being human and it's better to age with grace than fight the inevitable. Edit- because some take it upon themselves to read too deeply into my comment and take offense to it. I don't mean to offend, shame, or judge anyone who wants or has had surgeries. "Aging with grace" is a figure of speech and it means to learn, understand, and accept the changes of life and changes within our bodies. Grace has nothing to do with what we do to our bodies or looks and everything to do with our mindset and how we react. That being said not everyone has the money or access to have surgeries done. While, there is nothing wrong with having surgeries done, there is also nothing wrong with aging and embracing our bodies naturally; there is no right or wrong way to do it. ❤
You can age with grace AND have any procedure you like. There is nothing "graceful" about not having work done. That's some weird elitism right there. Women need to support each other not shame women who choose how they want to age. None of us is getting out of here alive.
@@cs5384 Lol I struck a nerve I see. I think you misunderstood what I said and why I said it. I am not trying to shame women; in fact people have the right to do what ever they like to their own bodies. I didn't say if you got surgeries that makes you any less graceful. Gracefulness has nothing to do with the body or looks its about personality and mindset. And if you took it that way, I am sorry. I only meant that regardless surgery or not the human body still ages. We all grow old and die that is just simple fact of human biology. Surgeries will not stop aging. If it helps people feel good and confident then all the better. But in my personal OPINION, I rather embrace every wrinkle, scar, stretch mark on my body and skin and embrace the woman I am and will become. That is MY mindset. MY opinion. Having an opinion doesn't make me an elitist by the way, I think you need to do actual research of what an elitist is instead of reading comments and being triggered and offended. I won't go back and forth with you, find online fighting juvenile lmao. Anyways God bless and I hope you have an amazing day
I just watched Roseanne say to a crowd at a comedy club (paraphrasing): "It's so nice to come from California to Texas and actually see real faces, with real lines, real wrinkles, real signs of aging on real people, instead of a bunch of fake, plastic people". I always thought wrinkles were like the physical manifestations of life lived and wisdom...I love seeing smile and scowl lines, it says a lot about the state of a person's mind, the hardship they've been through, the joy they have had. Natural is much more beautiful than plastic and wrinkles are beautiful battle scars of everyday living.
@@zzjustamiragezz Not all that surprising. Every bone in your body loses mass with age. I combat that bone loss with weight training and plenty of vitamin D3 which helps absorb calcium. Don't know if you can do much about your face though.
I feel really sad for Madonna. As a 66 year old I wear my graying to white hair with pride. My wrinkles are a sign of a life well lived. It’s sad she couldn’t feel confident about being who she was.
Some people make a living using their appearance. That's what Madonna and other celebs do, and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is many choose the wrong doctors.
She's lived the better part of her life under a microscope. With all the judgements of her looks I imagine she is a bit paranoid. I couldn't live her life and not be paranoid.
I love myself and the way I look now. I was bullied when I was kid because I did not look like the other pretty girls. My self confidence was down for long time. The way I think about me changed when my first cat walked into my life 7 years ago. Now age 52 the last thing I have in mind is to look younger. Rescuing animals helping other people who needs help makes me feel Young.
Moving on to other things is good, we all get old eventually. Even celebrities will look old at some point. It all means nothing. Being a good person and making a difference even if its not on a huge scale is important and gives you a lot of satisfaction and happiness. And you don't look desperate trying to look too young.
I rescue cats too. That is so much more important than serving vanity! Have you ever noticed that when you love and accept yourself you are so much happier. She would drink the blood of babies if she thought it would keep her young.
Well, I’m 37 and I feel better about it after watching this. Thankyou. Exercise, hydration, and SPF is the route I’m going down as time goes on, because the artificiality of extensive surgery just looks so rough to me.
Everything in moderation is nice. If you have the means you can touch up on something you don’t like. You really only live once I’m definitely thinking about a procedure down the line.
Are you just now starting? Only so much can be done after age 35. I began doing all that you listed at age 20 and people absolutely do not believe me when I tell my age. Still, better to start taking care of your skin now than never. Another thing to remember is your diet. Stay away from alcohol, salt, processed sugars, dairy, and meat. All of these things cause inflammation to the body on a cellular level.
I’m not against plastic surgery. You should feel comfortable in your skin. But always remember, being able to get old is a PRIVILEGE many who die young are not granted.
She has a problem with aging and does everything to look younger. She's 64 now and she'll never look like 20 again. She doesn't look good. We all get older, that's life. Every phase of life has something wonderful and that has nothing to do with how we look. I'm 52 and I'm proud of my age! I would like to make one thing clear, as I have often been insulted here. I just realized that she's 64 and will never look 20 again. I didn't insult Madonna by saying that. So please stop insulting me.
I think the thing is: once you have started doing surgery, you can ´t stop anymore. It ´s like people who use sunbeds on a regular basis: they think they are pale, when they don ´t go 😮
I was a page at Paramount Studios on the music show Solid Gold in the eighties. I remember her walking out with a confident stride to the set in a long, straight pink wig. She was literally diminutive, but seemed large at the same time somehow. She slithered around on her tummy on the round main stage and was so adorable. Such a hard working, talented beautiful woman. 🌸
@@michmash7888 They don't make shows like that anymore sadly. I loved that show as a kid and had completely forgotten all about it. Now I'll have the theme song in my head all day. And I'm fine with that.
Amazing to see the progression. I never noticed her surgeries until the past few years, when she hit the alien phase -- but in this video, I notice the way she never allowed herself to develop a single wrinkle, a single sag, and how that intolerance added up over time. At 6:59 you see a hint of the beautiful woman she could have aged into. The plastic surgeon saw room for improvement; I saw natural beauty that was then interrupted. Tragic.
You can see she would have had heavy laugh lines ..likely from all the singing. But I always figured her for having a strong enough personality that she would not go the plastic surgery route. I guess all that pressure to look the part is just too heavy. I like to think if I had that sort of wealth I would arrange my recording and performance contracts to end before I felt I was no longer happy with being in the spotlight. Walk away with dignity. But who knows.
Even as far as 2005, she looked ok. But 2006, she def got 'younger'. .. but it still looked age-acceptable. Even up to 2009.. It's after that, that the puffies started.. 2019, she started looking harder. and then just scary. 😢
Thank you for being educational, fair, and very kind to the people whom you're describing! I really appreciate learning about how faces age in terms of muscle tissue, bone density, etc., and what that looks like on an aging face with or without surgical or nonsurgical methods. My grandfather is turning 98 this year and I've been looking at pictures from when he was younger--what's really fun for me is to still see how he greatly remains himself even though he's undeniably older. I don't think I'll age nearly as well as he has simply for the fact that I have less melanin protection, but I hope if I can take good care of myself and am lucky enough to make it anywhere close to his age that I can still see myself, too.
My aunt, who lived to 100, said "gettin' old ain't for sissies." It just makes me sad when people destroy their bodies trying to retain their youth. It can't be done. Aging gracefully is the best we can hope for. Meryl Streep, Barbara Streisand, Glenn Close and many others embrace age with wisdom.
Madonna has not destroyed her body. Have you SEEN her move? Good night I'm 12 years younger than her and I can't do a fraction of what she can do. There is nothing wrong with her face. It's not destroyed. If she hadn't done this people would be shredding her for being so wrinkled.
Everyone ages differently and quite frankly we don’t know what Madonna would look like if she didn’t have work done. For all we know she was aging like a grape and she would be look absolutely haggard had she not filled out her face. In any event, it’s not for us to judge.
This is why we need to let ourselves age naturally. Just let it happen and accept it. There is a certain age limit where your face can look good with fillers, granted it's done by a good doctor. But in old age it's never gonna work. Aging is okay and we should accept it.
@TucsonDude absolutely. It's the media and public who are at fault. Women aren't ALLOWED to age normally in Hollywood. Not if they want work. It's fucking bullshit.
@PulledPorkGarageYes, he is quite proud of the wonderful things he can do to make normal aging look like a monster make over for a Frankenstein movie. For the right price of course.
I couldn't believe how bad Madonna's surgery was when she was on the Grammys this past Sunday. Can you do a review of what she did to her face recently. Thanks 😊
Agree. I'm still finding it very hard to believe the person, supposedly, was Madonna. I've looked at pictures from the Grammys and I do not see Madonna. Even her eye color looks brown, not blue.
Yes; Dr Gary…. Please do an update of the most recent surgical work.. not to be mean but because her facial changes are so incredibly dramatic, they need an explanation…
I came upon this video (I know - it's a year old) but I wanted to say I absolutely loved how you were completely honest about what you think was done but, at the same time, not sensationalizing or criticizing. You got my sub!
It would be great, Dr. Gary, if you could update this as of 2023. Because she doesn't "look" like Madonna anymore - especially during her recent presentation at the Grammy awards this past Sunday. Many thanks to you, for all you've shared and, for all you've taught us! You're the best and truly awesome!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@bluetomato8698 unfortunately her business is also selling image to young women, this distorted appearance is being touted as normal, imho it’s really disturbing.
For once I'm glad I read some comments before watching a video, because I didn't notice this was uploaded a year ago. The thumbnail shows the recent Grammy's look, somehow (?). But I did find the Short you mentioned and watched it. So again, for once a viewer comment was actually helpful to another viewer. Thanks!!!
I give full credit to the doc for being respectful and maintaining a certain sensitivity when analyzing Madonna's transformation over the years. That would certainly be a much taller order had he waited a year until after her most recent Grammy's appearance. That being said, her defense of herself is expected and understandable in that we try to bring ourselves up not to draw impolite attention to people with different appearances and abilities. Much harder to do when certain people cosmetically modify themselves to noticeably appear more youthful, and the public pays the social toll with lectures on newly invented -isms and toxicity every time said people grossly miss the target on that aim.
I was just about to say the same thing. He's very respectful and thorough when it explaining. It irritates me to Dr's make videos making fun of people for likes on the internet. I sure wouldn't ever want them to be my doctor
@@connievino4226 Madonna's past behaviour and celebrity status makes her somewhat of a lightning rod for harsh criticism, both fair and cruel. Some people would use the topic of her cosmetic progression over the years to really lay it in on her.
Very interesting video Dr Linkov! My cousin is also a plastic surgeon in NY and sitting talking with him is equally fascinating, the details you guys notice is SO impressive, I know, its your job but still very impressive! So glad to have found your channel
I'm 63 yrs old. I was always told when younger how pretty I was and a good figure by both men and women. I still had hang ups about my body but always thought to embrace my youth and I was always conscious it wouldnt last and people need to be more than about looks. It doesnt feel that great looking old but I am healthy, still alive and still feel young inside.
You are 10 yrs older than my mom. I turned 29 couple days ago and I'll just say that by the time I turned 26-27 , I realized that adults are just regular ppl only more experienced. They don't know everything and they don't feel old or they don't feel like they have a lot of wisdom bcz when I was 15,I saw 27 as old. When I was 5,my mom was 30 and obviously I would have thought that she knows everything and now that I am 29 and I have lived more life than she did at 29 bcz I have lived at different places and still I feel like I have barely experienced anything and that time has just swiftly passed. I can also see that how easy it is to see the mistake that a 14 yr old is making bcz we were the same at 14 , thinking we are now adult so we know what we are doing although we didn't know anything. Kids judge even a 29 yr old now so a tiny bit of insecurity is there sometimes but I see how confident my mom is of herself. She lived a rough life and now her life got easier so she is happy with that and when I was 16 and I once said sth like I won't live anymore bcz I failed in an exam, my mom said to me that "Not everyone gets to live a long life so if you are getting that chance , live as long as you can and try your best bcz many want to live but don't get the chance" and she said that bcz her dad died when he was 27-28, my dad aka her husband died when he was 31 and my mom's first born died at the age of 2.5 yrs old so she jist learned to appreciate life bcz all the deaths happened all of a sudden and it was all at different time. I learned to appreciate life bcz of her. The way society is going , it will get only harder to not get tempted by all this but one of the blessing in disguise I had was my bad mental health from which I healed and it took 7-8 yrs so that's why I got completely chilled by the time I reachee 28 bcz the world will always try to play on your insecurity but I have the responsibility to keep myself healthy and happy and so why care about the world. The sooner I accept myself the way I am, the easier it will be to live happily for the rest of my life.
Dude your wisdom and knowledge is astounding. We appreciate all the years of your life you devoted to researching the human body and just giving us a taste of what it's like.
I think one of the things that make me so engaded on your videos is how much knowledge you put on them without necessarily had to degradate people. Keep up the good work !!!
Gary, I really love your attitude throughout the analysis. The way you genuinely appreciate and respect the natural look in all its varied forms is very heartwarming; especially since you're a plastic surgeon. All the best, my man.
I am the same age. A women in an elevator this week commented that I "looked 45." I work out, eat healthy and live a compassionate purposeful life volunteering where I can. There is beauty in aging if you allow it. Cosmetic surgery can be averted in you exercise your facial muscles. I do not want to look 25. I like who I am becoming and want no alterations.
This! ❤ Many women, including you and I, resort to exercise or at least be active, eat good food, sleep well, & positive mind to be beautiful, inside & outside. We believe the strategy is sufficient for us -- no need for needle, let alone scalpel. And the strategy is fruitful: I assume you're 64 years old and get compliment for looking like 45 (and I bet you feel like 45 😉). I'm 47, but looking & feeling much younger. So, I'm confused. Madonna has always been into exercise and good diet. I still remember her toned body in the 90's. She still has the body. Not as good as in the past, of course. But still good, tho. All the exercise and diet has done good for her body. Why doesn't she just let the exercise and diet work for her face? Why resort to plastic surgery? OK, she's celebrity. She need some extra for her face. A little botox might give some extra kicks. Or a little bit of hyalutonic acid injection. But why overdoing her face? Why, Girl, why? Tsk, tsk, tsk...
I am a couple of years older than Madonna, and feel the same way. I work out nearly everyday, and try to eat right. My face may look old, but I 'feel' younger. Good health, rather than plastic surgery, is what those our age should strive for.
My biggest question is - If Madonna came to you as a patient and said “I know I’ve gone too far and I want to look as natural as I can,” what procedures would you recommend? I imagine dissolving the fillers would result in sagging skin, but she’s already had so many lifts. Is she past the point of no return?
Thanks for a very respectful analysis of Madonna’s procedures over the years. My favorite feature of Madonna’s has always been her eyes. They’re like jewels. Very beautiful! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
How very sad! I'm just a tad older than Madonna. I've always kept my face clean, followed by moisturizing. No foundation. I'm happy with my life and my gracefully aging face.
Can I ask what moisturizer you like? I feel like I am so lost as what kind to use. In the summer I have very oily skin and then very dry in winter. Very sensitive and easily to breakout.
As I’m getting older my mirror isn’t that friendly to me anymore. You know all the wrinkles in the forehead,brown spots, drooping mouth corners… Sometimes I get so frustrated that I also want a facelift. Then my husband tells me that that is not necessary. That I still look good. He really is an angel ❤
For me it's the lower chin... it was always a little problem in my youth (a little double chin), that I could manage by just keeping my head up...but I'd have to look up at the sky now🤪. In my latter 50s, I still don't have a much in the way of wrinkles and my big skin issue is rosacea...thank heavens for the green cover stick that removes a lot of my redness. Otherwise, I get mistaken for 40s. I've appeared about 5-10 years younger since I was 19... getting my hair cut for boot camp, I was told "You must be excited about starting highschool... getting a new hairstyle and all." 😂 Since then, it's been a lot of strange moments...the officer that wanted to know WHICH Ssgt was letting their kid wear their full uniform on base, the mall guard wanting to know why I wasn't at the highschool during school hours (I was 24, a veteran at this point, and at the local college). I had to drag out my license, military ID, and college ID. 🤷 It was annoying, but now I am enjoying the relatively slow pace of aging I'm prone to. Poor hubby is 4 years older and looks a few years older than he actually is. Meanwhile, I am told I look younger...a little bit of extra mom weight is involved too. There's one thing for sure...gravity works, when everything else fails. 😂
I love how you are very unbiased and neutral regarding these reactions. I appreciate your work, I think it's important that young girls know that natural ageing doesn't occur like this without some talented hands helping.
Do you imply that current Madonna's looks are made by "talents" ? What a joke ....she looks horrible, unnatural and odd. She's become unrecognizable and I don't think that any reputable (aka talented) medical doctor would advise her to carry on with these face lifts and other invasive procedures.
I'm a 68 year old man and my own relatives have accused me of having work done, and no one ever believed I was as old as I was through the years, but I started moisturizing in my teens and I didn't drink much alcohol. I did start smoking in my late twenties but I quit after a couple of decades. It wasn't until I had health issues and I became a caregiver for my parents that gravity caught up with me, but I still get compliments on my skin and lack of deep wrinkles.
It's amazing how all the money in the world can still not produce plastic surgery that actually makes you look younger. You retain some youthfulness features that make you look good for your age and youthful, but clearly nobody would confuse current Madonna with a 20-something or even 30-something.
Well he did mention some things that you make you look younger. Botox will calm the stress of muscles, fillers will re-volumize the area. That happens as we get older. Also remember he said your bones even change. Your bones! There’s only so many things you can do. I totally understand the pressure thing to stay young looking but I also think she is somebody who would want to stay young looking and be on top for as long as you can. No one has a magic bullet to keep you looking 25. That makes me laugh lol
I remember watching ‘Borderline’ video on MTV in 1984 for the 1st time and being so enamored and in awe of her. She truly is an icon, it just makes me so sad to see her now.
@@reneecalvert4153 You could be on to something there. I would believe that. She works out many hours a day. Some kind of unrealistic obsession? I don't know..but you could be right.
@@juliedepaolo9971 I think it's as much to do with the culture of the industry that she's been in for so long as anything else. In showbiz it is a fate worse than death (career wise) to look your age after a certain point. I agree she's taken it too far, but most celebs past a certain age get surgery done because this cultural obsession with youth and sex appeal demands it. I think it's the culture that turns them into these appearence obsessed people (and plus they have the money to indulge in it) where as the rest of us don't experience that degree of pressure and scrutiny.
It's ironic that we seek to stay young forever but doing all these things actually makes us look older at a certain age. That can be seen in this video. I think she looked the best in her 40s and then it started declining because she's been doing too much.
I agree. I am 69 and at age 45 I got a lower eye lid surgery. I had been ill with Lyme's disease and I looked pretty stressed . It was the best decision I ever made and only cost $2,000. i recently went to a plastic surgeon as I need an upper eyelid surgery now and I asked if a second lower one would be necessary. He said laser work was all I needed. The first one still looks pretty good. I have great skin according to him which I think makes me look good for my age. I take good care of my health and am not on any medications. If I could afford more work I would consider a brow lift or even a facelift. I do not ever want to look "weird" in my 70's with lots of fillers etc. I will keep my so called imperfections. They are what makes all of us who we are as individuals.
I have needed plastic surgery twice. Each time my doctors were kind caring and everything you'd want in a doctor. And both times my quailty of life was improved.
it would be wonderful if she could do that but once you start tampering the aging that occurs after will ruin the surgery and you will have a mess so you have no choice but to continue. its a sad story
I heavy disagree. She looks scary to me, I don’t think she’s aged well at all. I’ll always prefer less instead of more when it comes to makeup and work done
I have really enjoyed the last day of watching your videos. I love how respectful and caring you are in the way you talk about people before, during, and after their procedures.
I would love to see a video on Demi Moore - as of January 2021 her face is unrecognizable. An analysis of WTH happened to her face would be fascinating!
Where is the final??? She looks so alien, not like Madonna at all anymore these days. It seems like science fiction. I was shocked the first and last time I would look at her, after years. She is gone. It's sad and it's warning. She was such a bright star
I learned that skin aging starts at 25. Also I found that my sensitive skin has become hyper sensitive now, so heat really affects me. When I get to hot I can break out in hives, also I'm super sensitive to some materials which feel scratchy on my skin, fibers like rayon and polyester don't feel good anymore. Even certain foods I used to eat now cause allergies. So just be aware that your body changes as you grow older in many ways.
I don't know your age or your gender, but if a female alot of the symptoms you mentioned can be associated with birth control pills and copper IUD allergic reaction, also a possible Autoimmune disease which would also be a possibility if your Male....your symptoms can also have a severe and dangerous reaction at anytime (Anaphylactic Shock) please see a physician and get an Epi-pen and carry at all times and get a medical ID bracelet if your Doctor feels you need the Epi-pen.
@@giaica816 Been there, done that! Isn't it a pain? Though I guess I always did prefer natural fibers, so that's not so bad. Have no more gluten, food colorings, I'm even allergic to toothpaste. Makes my lips dry out and peel, and the inside of my mouth burn. Also have rosacea so have to be careful of sun, like Flynn. I hope yours gets no worse - sounds like you're taking good care of it.
Post menopause speakn here! Def after u go thru the final months to complete cessation of ur periods u DEF HAVE to treat ur entire body with respect in terms of moisturizing TWICE daily n maintaining fluid intake! Also supplements coupled with a healthy diet and excersize whithin ur limitations!(i have osteoarthritis 😐) so its not as easy as it once was but i TRY my best! At almost 50 years old now i am noticing the aging "demon" creepn up! Not good but i cant afford cosmetic surgery so i have NO choice but to "work" with wot i got n keep myself healthy and make up is an apsolute MUST!
I'm a year older than Madonna and remember her music and videos very well. Especially her performance at the Grammys performing Like a Virgin. I was never a fan of her music being that I was more into punk music but nonetheless there's no denying she was a trailblazer. It saddens me to see what she's become both physically and mentally. Aging isn't easy especially if you're in the spotlight.
So true. Men in the industry can age and continue doing movies and TV but let a woman start showing her age and most careers are over. Yes, it's still a man's world.
@@darkeststar3640 It's very sad indeed. I would say the best thing to combat this is more women should just essentially give the finger to the industry and continue doing. Shirley Manson from Garbage is doing this, hasn't had plastic surgery and embracing her age while still doing what she loves which is singing for her band.
@@darkeststar3640 I think Judy Dench has done a dazzling job at continuing her acting career into a nice, venerable old age. Old shaming is just stupid. I have a friend in his seventies who is proud of every year he's achieved. I think old people should be proud of their years--they didn't do anything stupid to end their lives.
Being in the spotlight is a pathetic cop out! There are numerous celebrities who are older than Madonna who haven’t gone to a plastic surgeon to butcher themselves! Aging is a part of life. How you live and carry yourself are keys to aging gracefully or aging at a rapid rate. Those who take care of themselves and live right will age with grace. Those who don’t take care of themselves and are for the streets will age at an accelerated rate and end up looking older than they are.
I had oily (white) skin my whole life until a few years ago. Now at 64, I am so happy I did because I have aged well. I love being this age and am happy and confident with a face & body that has more than done its job! Am I perfect-absolutely not-but I’m here! 👋
This gives me hope because I am 37 and have oily skin that sometimes drives me nuts, but I’m starting to appreciate that maybe that sheen will help me in the future 😂😂
@@melindasnyder5974 Same boat here. I learned something years ago though. Use cold water to wash your face with. When you take a shower, do a "final rinse", before you get out where the temperatire is not "cold" but it's way cooler than the nice hot shower you were taking. I had MAJOR acne problems. Now, I have almost none. I dab rubbing alcohol on tissue and wipe the oil away if I've been marinating too long. Hot water gives me awful acne. Cool water and I'm acne free.
I love the verbal explanation of aging. We always "see" aging, but a verbal explanation is so educational. These are really good and educational videos.🙂👍
Great point, I look at an aging face but can’t describe what has happened. This doctor explained in detail the effects of gravity as well as the changes to the body.
I remember when she lost weight before coming out with True Blue. She went from slightly curvy/healthy in 1985, to very thin and muscular in 1986-87. I know that you were saying she lost volume because of aging, but I always thought it was her dramatic weight loss in that time period.
As someone who is never going to have any of these surgeries I found the video very interesting. There was a period in my lifevwhen I, for no fault of my own, became too reliant on my looks. It was a very unhappy period in my history. I now rely on my intellect and sense of humour and am so much more happy. Nobody stays young forever and being comfortable with yourself is the ticket.
I think Dr Gary hit on something you don't hear often. The bone structure decays as well when we age. I think Madonna's surgeries have been very good, but the bone structure is not cooperating. She's keeping artificial youthfulness, but the changes in her face bone structure are making her look like a different person over time. Naturally we all look like slightly different people as we age though, so it's not her fault.
As an almost 64 year old who looks in the mirror and sees her grandmother looking back at her, I am reminded again, that old age is not for the faint hearted... But it is a privilege. I have been young, I've been a mature, confident mother, now I get to master wisdom, and I think you do it better when you look the part.
And it's cheaper!
AND you still look like yourself, not a rubber mask!!!
@@hanginlaundry360 🇬🇧🇬🇧🤣😆😁😜
And you don't exude a sense of desperation to stay young and relevant because you know that you are intrinsically valuable, therefore forever relevant, and you've gained wisdom through experience which can never be replicated in youth.
It's not always easy for once undeniably gorgeous young women to age gracefully without enhancements, especially in cities such as Los Angeles.
Still, without cosmetic surgery we are able to retain our curiosity about how we will naturally outwardly evolve.
There's a sort of comfort that comes with looking in the mirror and finding the culmination of life experiences reflected upon the map of our natural facial features.
It's the serenity of a grandmother (regardless if there are children or grandchildren in her life) who accepts herself along with everything positive and negative which has shaped her through the years.
Same is true for everyone, of course, the culture only puts more pressure upon women to look eternally, artificially young.
Beautifully said
I’m 62 and when I pull my hair back into a ponytail I see my grandma too. I embrace it.
I am a couple of years younger than Madonna. I often say that there comes a point when "the boat springs leaks" faster than you can plug them, and you can reach a point where the face/body parts just aren't cohesive. Gravity is relentless, bone density thins, tissues break down beyond the ability for the body to regenerate. Looking "good for my age" and being as healthy as possible is the goal for me, not looking eternally 20.
“The boat springs leaks!”……that made me laugh 😂
You sound really wise. This is excellent advice
I am right there with ya sista🙂 Although some people dislike the expression looking good for your age I'll take it any day of the week! I just don't want to look older than I am and some people do. People think they can turn back the clock by getting plastic surgery but it just keeps on ticking😆
@@mariaw.9963 Well being in the eye of millions you must get self conscious. Must be hard not to be able to be yourself.
Same! 👍
I love that Madonna said that people making fun of her awful plastic surgery is ageism, when in reality being so scared of old age that you butcher your face is the ultimate sign of ageism.
gaslighting. That's what everyone does when they're caught out !
Yes, so true! Madonna is a narcissist, and a classic tactic they use is "projection" and "gaslighting" to try to divert the blame or responsibility away from themselves...
Women can’t win, they age naturally then it’s constantly pointed out that they’re (shock horror) aging, they try to mask it with procedures and they’re mocked for it. It’s not Madonna that’s ageist it’s society.
@@joycegibbs5267 no it’s society that’s gaslighting. No one gets this work amount done without outward pressure. Society pushes them to mask aging by constantly talking about women as they age and then they’re mocked for it by the same society which calls THEM ageist - THAT is gaslighting.
To come out looking like that expect to get slammed.
My grandson showed me a picture he found from 25 years ago of me and his granddad. I thought to myself, "Hey, look how young and cute we were!" Then he blurted out, "I don't like this picture! You and Pop don't look like you! I like your hair, face now, and wrinkles!" He doesn't mind we look older. He actually prefers it. He knows who we really are. What a blessing-
My grandchildren say the same thing. I don’t mind aging, it’s life. I’m 76, a great grandmother, I just wish mentally I wasn’t 30ish. There are so many things I’d love to do or love to wear and it’s not age appropriate.
@@mchapman132anything is age appropriate once you’re an adult! you can choose to wear what makes you happy, at any age. live YOUR life the way YOU want to. seriously.
@@mars_mallow_ - Well, I have to disagree a bit. When I was young I’d wear all the popular trends……mini skirts, bell bottoms, lace blouses with no bra! I’m not going to wear ripped jeans, I don’t care how pricey they are. I’d love to wear 5” heels….not anymore. I’d love to wear a bikini again, but no one wants to see their great grandmother in a bikini.
What do kids Know ?
@@mchapman132 Depends on how you kept yourself all those years ! Curvy Not fat ! No Grey or white hair on women Of age ! and Always wear Sun screen !
I dont want to be superficial or criticize anyone for their beauty choices, but I think these videos are helpful. We should know that this isnt natural so we aren't so hard on ourselves.
Absolutely....so many people don't realize that changes if appearances is part of the natural aging process.
‘They’ all do! Can’t believe Everybody doesn’t know this by now
Totally agree ! in our society women are not allowed to grow old , especially true for show business ´s women.
First face lift in her mid 30’s ! What a pity ! I wouldn’t want to be in that women’s shoes. Life is so miserable when your image is that important .
In her case it's acutely visible
@@S_8- Betty White was old
Madonna is accusing people of being "ageist" but she's the one who's trying to literally stop age from happening. She is the one who is terrified of it. So who really is the ageist here?
I agree. She is the one self projecting her own deep seeded insecurities & ageist fear of getting old. Her eyes look full of resentment, angry, bitter & cold. She will turn 65 on her next birthday. Medicare for Madonna in August 2023.
And yet it's everybody else around her talking about it. She just does what she wants. Simple! Love it or leave it!
Szörnyű....terrible...
Horror...megnőt a feje hova lett az a szép nő???
She’s not saying people are ageist about her face, shes saying people are ageist because people keep telling her to act her age. They’re always telling her how to be 😂
She’s allowed to look and act how she wants and all you couch potatoes always have something to say. Fixing your face isn’t ageist, it’s societal pressure because no one ever shuts up about anything. She wants to appear younger because in this world that’s the only way to stay popular as a woman in her industry. Just cause your family doesn’t care how old you look, doesn’t mean that the people around her do. Over time, over all changes, people have had something negative to say. Look at Lil Kim… She’s a celebrity and has been her whole life, she’s Madonna… You may not care but you’re literally one person she’ll never know exists. No one cares to watch you sing or dance. You’re not known internationally by your first name. There are tens of thousands of people minimum always on her case. That fucks with your head and how you see yourself. You always think you need to fix something. You saying she shouldn’t look like THAT will make people like her want to go in and fix more.
Just cause you’re on this side of the argument doesn’t mean people like y’all aren’t part of the problem. Take yourself off your high horse. Look at the mirror and fix yourself. How people look really isn’t any way, shape, or form, anyone’s business. Have an opinion, but dont be ignorant about the effects of voicing it.
You probably loved Madonna as a kid and now hate on her cause she looks different. 🗑️ 😂 Fake fans everywhere, mean women on every corner.
Keep up Sailor. People mocked her for aging and society shoves out those who do especially in her field. Now that she has had surgeries to combat this look of age they mock her still. So yes it actually does go back to ageism. You will find article dates article about aging women in Hollywood where they show a picture of them young then say omg what happened. Its quite sick but it's the world many live in. Why comment if you dont even know what you are talking about? The real issue is it's disgusting to even comment on her or anyones looks. Who are you to do so?

Good for you. Im 56 and ain't gonna lie sometimes it's a literal pain getting older and then I remember my family and friends who didn't make it this far. Stay clean.
My daughter seems obsessed with wrinkles. She wanted me to get Botox and consider surgery. I'm going on 80. My reply was: " I've earned every one of these wrinkles. I'm keeping them. End of conversation." However, she is always buying me creams for my face and body. I'm sure a normal person would start to get a complex, but I consider myself just fine. It can't be that bad I've had two marriage proposals in the last 3 years....but just not ready for another marriage. I'm content and happy on my own with my wrinkles.
Great point!
If you're going on 80 and receiving marriage proposals, it sounds like someone is jealous.
Buy your daughter anti-wrinkle cream and wait for the reaction. 😉👍
Good for you!!! You KNOW how to enjoy life! Maybe jealousy of your wisdom is showing in someone ELSE! Kind regards from Norwich, UK.
As a person that likes skincare, I think people need to be very careful with the slippery slope that "self care" can be.
Sure, avoid wrinkles if YOU want to, but don't force or shame other people's body. Also, don't shame yourself for a natural process.

When I was in highschool, I wanted a nose job. I went to get a consultation and was close to doing it, but I was so afraid of it being botched or my face drastically changing that I decided to work on my confidence and self esteem instead. I think this decision has helped me accept aging as well.
ETA: this was all before social media, but I was an avid reader of fashion magazines so the pressure was always there. Thank you all for the supportive comments! Everyone, please enjoy and celebrate your unique beauty amidst all of these fleeting aesthetic trends-our one life is all we have.
EXACTLY
Good for you
Well done! 👍
Same for me...And my best friends told me that they loved my nose, and would not speak to me again if I changed it.. Nothing like a bit of tough love from friends that I will cherish forever...
When in elementary school I was mocked by one of the boys cause of my nose. I feel insecure about my nose til today ,, but I'm afraid of the effects of plastic surgery
I watched this video multiple times and Madonna’s transformation over a longer period of time. I just cannot comprehend her looks
“The neck never lies” The same goes for the hands. It amazes me that people who use plastic surgery on their face to “look younger” it’s always the hands that tell the truth and,they are never addressed.
Sunscreen on them daily.Weekly glycolic acid.
The chest, too
notice madonna always wears gloves now. Caught a look at her hands a few years ago- very ropey, very old looking, mainly because madonna is so thin I think, and has little body fat, makes it worse.
ok thats not fair cause i dont have wrinkles on my face just naturally, but because of bad posture i have the worst lines on my neck 😂😅
@@iconc1402 I agree. She's incredibly fit, but no longer has that thin layer of fat most younger women would have to round them out. Unfortunately that lack of fat can make a person look so much older. Fillers can't compensate for that without looking unnatural.
She's always been so beautiful and will always be, but perhaps putting on a little as three to five pounds can give her a more natural look on both hands and face.
I remember on my wedding day my husband’s aunt drove me to the church and she was in her 70’s. She was a very glamorous “dressed to the nines” lady. She looked at me, 26yrs in my beautiful wedding dress, hair in a gorgeous bun with silk wrapped around and tulle cascading down, my gown fit like a glove and I was a dancer and had the figure of a rockette… she said, “Hunny, gettin old ain’t for sissies!!!
I’ll never forget that and I adored her! I’m 57 now and she was right! I don’t have Madonna’s money and I sure don’t look 26 anymore! But that’s life and I’m happy still married, have 2 great kids in their 20’s and count my blessings everyday!🤩😍🌈
Your grandma was quoting Bette Davis 😄
I’m hoping that 57 is actually easier mentally than right now for me at 50. I’m not yet comfortable with the fact that I am appearing older … so I’m in disbelief that it is happening … my girlfriends who have completed their menopause crap, and have hit 55+ seem more comfortable in their skin - and it shows with their smiles, acceptance and confidence. I have to get ready for a party right now … and am feeling a little meh. I think silk gulp some champagne to get me to relax…. 😉
Nice post … you sound fantastic. 😘
@@hlowrylong I'm sure you are beautiful.
I don't know what happened to her in the last 2 or 3 months. Def needs an update doc .
@@janicecruze9604 You are right, she really looks like a freak now!
The problem is - doing all this stuff to your face does not end up making you look young and beautiful and glamorous. Instead it makes you look increasingly strange and asymmetrical and puffy. People no longer compliment you but instead discuss how disturbing you appear.
It is possible to have plastic surgery and still look natural. A great surgeon and restraint is necessary. I think Jane Fonda is a great example. Yes, she's had work done, and she does look younger. No, she doesn't look like an alien.
That was a photo-shop pic. In no way does she look like that at all
I agree 100 percent

You used the word “ natural “ to describe an unnatural procedure that alters one’s normal appearance.
Really?
i like the editing so much. it's simplistic yet stylish and as informative as necessary
I like Dr Gary's approch to plastic surgery of celebreties. He doesn't ridicule or make things sound sensational. He just points out interesting traits and often quietly concerned about extreme cases. Dr Gary is a decent fellow.
Hes a professional person . Why would he ridicule her ? Why would anyone ? Thers huge pressure on people like her to remain youthful looking it's her career depending on it . I do admire people who age naturally . Beauty shines from within through all the ageing .
@@whoswhoo I'd say highly ethical and professional and exactly the way one would expect a health specialist to act. Especially someone in such a complex and intimate speciality as aesthetic surgery. Way to go Dr.Gary!!! I think you should write a book/seminar course for the colleagues explaining how to be tactful, professional and calming around a patient, especially difficult/demanding/lost ones.
I’ve always thought that of Dr. Gary. Very knowledgeable and straightforward…no judgements. Love your work Dr. Gary!
Bullshit he is going to not cut on his career or his fellow plastic surgeons....Thats how he makes money..
hmmm doctors are protective of each other.
I grew up in the early years of Madonna.
Definitely a fan. She was beautiful, talented, always pushing the limits. But youth is short-lived and some people want it to last forever. It's a battle everyone loses.
she was a pop icon because of her youth
Well said
She was a horrible selfish person though
She looks nasty now 😂
She looks like a demon...not a coincidence smh ...are you blind to the fact that they are working to remove your freedoms...these people are as evil as they look
“Keeping Madonna as beautiful as she is”… you are really kind.
Extremely 😉
I guess he meant "as she used to be"...
Yeah. I laughed
@@perplexiglas1 at what? She looks awesome this past year, young and beautiful. All the work she has done paid off
that was a reach!!!
I stumbled upon your site and I really appreciate your thoughtful, careful and non-judgmental discussion of cosmetic surgery techniques and who might have had what. I believe that aging is an individual process and everyone should be free to do what they (and their wallet) want and can handle. As a 58 year old woman, I am cautiously entering the world of Botox and fillers. I don't want to look younger, but just as good as I can for my age. Aging is a gift that I am so blessed to have right now, but a few nonsurgical boosts to Mother Nature make me feel better.
I loved Madonna in the 80s and 90s. She got me to appreciate not tanning and being at peace with paler skin. That was her gift to me.
Her pale skin with her dark hair in the early 90s was beautiful.
Pale skin is one of the most beautiful traits in a woman imo. They should never be ashamed of it
We should be happy about Jesus Christ not celebrities….❤
@@roseannagonzales4597 ugh dated. Jesus was like so 2023 years ago 💁♀️
Yes! I never liked tanning so I loved her more for that reason. I have a wonderful skin because I kept myself away from the sun
I like what Carrie fisher said, “I didn’t know I was supposed to never change.” She was 22 in Star Wars, and people were comparing her to those days more than 30 years later …
And she still looked great all those years later. She aged like a fine wine.
This always gets on my nerves. I watched a video on RUclips a while ago where they were comparing the look of actors when they were in their late teens or twenties to when they were in their seventies and eighties and saying how badly they’d aged. Er …. they’re in their eighties - they’re entitled to look eighty believe it or not! But that last picture of Madonna barely looks like her.
@@janicevango5791 It's true that many of these stars start to look truly bizarre after having so many surgical procedures, think of Faye Dunaway and Priscilla Presley. But it's really no surprise when you have people microassessing every wrinkle, every tiny sag of the skin, they can't help but feel they have to stave off that criticism. I wish we could just get over this obsession with youth and the idea that even after 60, 70 or 80 we still need to match up to that beauty standard. And, of course, it's always women who are brutally assessed as being inadequate.
What she didn't know is that she can age, but it will be her younger self who will get more admiration. Celebs have trouble living with that because they tend to be vain and narcissistic.
@@RUclipssucks-m9bit's not that, many celebrities are actually depressed. The truth is they have difficulty getting work as they age, especially women.
Madonna is a petite Italian woman born with great bone structure, she would’ve aged beautifully without ever having done a thing to her face.
I could be wrong but I’m assuming as celebrities get older the start enjoying good food because they spent years starving themselves to look good.
so as they began to gain weight it fills their face out so they go under the knife trying to keep that slim structure.
personally at 60 that’s really a time to embrace those age marks and wrinkles.
those surgeries are making her look like “saw” the movie!
Totally 👍
She would have looked good at any age, any weight as long as it was natural... Now I don't know what to say 🫤
Exactly!!! The Italian genes 💯 would have loved to see her age gracefully (I suppose I ought to take my own advice) but seriously, fuck those fillers
But she didn't i hope she loves herself
Well stated, and now her surgery is irreversible and she’s paying the price for her vanity.
I like how Gary is respectful in his opinions, even when he probably thinks someone's potential surgery looks subjectively horrible
A dream client
Just subjectively? Some are objectively horrible. Everyone can see it 🤷♀️
When you're in your 60's and everyone knows it, you aren't fooling people as they know you. To rearrange your face so many times ends in disaster, just my opinion. Kenny Rodgers is a textbook example. He looked just fine for an older man but we know how that turned out.
I'm the same age as Madonna and satisfied with the aging look. Maybe having oily skin helps keep wrinkles down.?
We know today's woke creampuffs can't handle peoples opinions, even if they're true.
You're living in reality, most of these liberal minded weirdos have never once experienced reality, especially the younger ones.
This makes me so sad for Madonna. I just adored her boldness when she was younger. She is just unrecognizable at this point.
sad about what? Do you think she is unhappy? Anyway, this video is out of date with what she looks like now - she has some much-needed work done (face lift and cheek implants) and she looks WAY better. Probably still "sad" to people like you, though.
@@xBINARYGODx she very easily could be unhappy....you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Losing her mother at a young age I'm sure wasn't great psychologically on her. I know watching my mother take her last breath (it's a sound I will never forget) in my early 30s was awful....and changed me. I can only what happened to Madonna at 6.
@@xBINARYGODx yeah cuz people who are happy adopt an African country against it's will
@@xBINARYGODx she doesn't look better at all, she is looking more and more like the Kardashians, or trying to. It is really sad!
@@ed_leonardi like the Kardashians? She wished.
This doctor is so non-judgemental and empathetic. I really love the bedside manner.
I agree, but of course his job depends on his patients not feeling judged. Which is also why he fails to question any of the premises that all of this is based on: did madonna REALLY need to look young to further her career, or could it have been possible to use her power to actually challenge the dominant idea that old = bad ?
He's my doctor and he's a wonderful doctor and skilled surgeon. He stays abreast of the latest developments, good and bad, he's passionate about his work, his approach is conservative and he limits the sorts of work he will perform to what he considers tried and true. I can't use him for everything, but what he does do for me is awesome.
The thumbnail is pretty unkind though
Are you that naive? He's in the business of plastic surgery... he's trying to sell you the idea of doing it yourself. You're such a sheep. ahahahaha.
Of course he is, he doesn't want to be canceled.
What a great channel! I am blown away by how smart doctors are. Our bodies are a bit complex. No?
I’m 63, around the same as she is. I’m glad I have just left it all alone. I’m a community theater actress, and I like the roles I’ve been able to play in recent years. Of course, I never could afford this anyway, but even Botox seems terrifying to me. In my opinion you have your chance to be young, then it’s other’s turn to be the young ones. Wear your sunscreen, moisturize, drink water, don’t smoke cigs or drink alcohol. And smile! You always look younger when you’re relaxed and happy.
Yeah I'm the same ...i mean if you have any work done on any part of your body you can hide it...but not the face ... madonna's face is just horrific ...im sorry but she has destroyed her face just like Michael Jackson ....im just go scared to do anything but its the cost too.
YES!!! THANK YOU!
Sound advice
yes! good for you!!!
Eating healthy & regular exercise promotes youthfulness.
All those chemicals pumped into the body can't be healthy
Dr Linkiv is very respectful to all the people who he does the surgery overview for. I really like it
I love how respectful & kind he is w/ his assessments of the celebrities he reviews.
Why? These people want to be in the spot light, go right ahead, with the good and bad with it
This video is so helpful. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make this. All the best to you!
I'm 57. People tell me I look a few years younger than my stated age. I think they're just being polite. I did have a septorhinoplasty at age 27 because my nose was broke in 9th grade gym class.
I have acne scars, seborrheic dermatitis of the nose and malasma of the posterior jaw region (from years of oral contraceptives). Sure there's things I wish I could afford to do but this is who I am. I've had a very hard life. I've earned every flaw along with a badge of honor on my sleeve. I have 10 classmates that I bet wish they were alive to embrace the aging process.
Trust- they aren’t being polite. Stay cheerful and active babe❤
@@SweetUareDesi you're insulting me. You don't know me.
I'm 53 and absolutely detest getting older. When I catch glimpses of myself I can't believe it's really me. I dont smoke or drink. One of my biggest passions is weight lifting so I stay active; I look early 50's like I should, and still absolutely detest getting older. It's not a badge of honor for me. I find nothing dignified about wrinkles, and grey hair from what I'm experiencing. Old people look like those old apple dolls, like charicatures of their real selves. I keep looking for the good, I keep struggling to find the positives of getting older. I'm not finding many... if any. I pray for the attitude and peace u have with it.
@@Mrs.AD0099 same here... and I had 2 facelifts already

Up to 2010, she was looking like she was aging gracefully, even with a procedure here or there. She looked natural and very attractive.
She looked really good up till 2012. Madonna at the Superbowl was gorgeous!
She really did. I didn't notice any of those procedures till he pointed them out.
She started to look worse from Madame X years...
This series of photos reminds me how beautiful she is/has been throughout the years. Her photos at 50 and at 60 are particularly outstanding.
This guy is so cool. He is showing us what is going on in a professional surgeon's mind!!! Doctor, thank you for your time making this!
LOL THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL SURGEON.ONLY NIT WITS POST THIS CRAP BC ITS SELFISH & SELF SERVING & HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TEACHING OR COMPASSION FOR PATIENTS IT ONLY SHOWS THIS IS LAST PERSON TO TRUST IF YOU NEED A FACIAL PROCEDURE. PLASTIC SURGERY NOT MY FAVORITE BUT GENERAL SURGERY & vascular not face carving or giving minors breast reductions or augmentation.
some photos of madonna were obviously photoshopped. how can one measure plastic surgery /gfacelift then? strange !
I recently saw Helen Mirren on the Graham Norton show (it's about a year old) and I was shocked that she clearly has not had any kind of cosmetic augmentation = RESPECT.
I agree....also look at other great British dames, Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Vanessa Redgrave, Lynn Redgrave. They're queens of acting and personalities!
@@jacobkayadoe7851 , Charlotte Rampling not to forget too.
Hello there. I admire Helen Mirren as an actress but I think she has had some work done. I noticed that the lines under her eyes (laughter lines) swept upwards which I think is a sure sign of a face lift.
Like Helen also!
I think she did I
The saddest part of this is that the body still ages no matter what. There is no amount of surgeries that can slow or stop the aging process. Aging is part of being human and it's better to age with grace than fight the inevitable.
Edit- because some take it upon themselves to read too deeply into my comment and take offense to it. I don't mean to offend, shame, or judge anyone who wants or has had surgeries. "Aging with grace" is a figure of speech and it means to learn, understand, and accept the changes of life and changes within our bodies. Grace has nothing to do with what we do to our bodies or looks and everything to do with our mindset and how we react. That being said not everyone has the money or access to have surgeries done. While, there is nothing wrong with having surgeries done, there is also nothing wrong with aging and embracing our bodies naturally; there is no right or wrong way to do it. ❤
Bingo!!!😊
Okaaay❤
You can age with grace AND have any procedure you like. There is nothing "graceful" about not having work done. That's some weird elitism right there. Women need to support each other not shame women who choose how they want to age. None of us is getting out of here alive.
@@cs5384 Lol I struck a nerve I see. I think you misunderstood what I said and why I said it. I am not trying to shame women; in fact people have the right to do what ever they like to their own bodies. I didn't say if you got surgeries that makes you any less graceful. Gracefulness has nothing to do with the body or looks its about personality and mindset. And if you took it that way, I am sorry. I only meant that regardless surgery or not the human body still ages. We all grow old and die that is just simple fact of human biology. Surgeries will not stop aging. If it helps people feel good and confident then all the better. But in my personal OPINION, I rather embrace every wrinkle, scar, stretch mark on my body and skin and embrace the woman I am and will become. That is MY mindset. MY opinion. Having an opinion doesn't make me an elitist by the way, I think you need to do actual research of what an elitist is instead of reading comments and being triggered and offended. I won't go back and forth with you, find online fighting juvenile lmao. Anyways God bless and I hope you have an amazing day
Yes absolutely
I just watched Roseanne say to a crowd at a comedy club (paraphrasing): "It's so nice to come from California to Texas and actually see real faces, with real lines, real wrinkles, real signs of aging on real people, instead of a bunch of fake, plastic people". I always thought wrinkles were like the physical manifestations of life lived and wisdom...I love seeing smile and scowl lines, it says a lot about the state of a person's mind, the hardship they've been through, the joy they have had. Natural is much more beautiful than plastic and wrinkles are beautiful battle scars of everyday living.
I had no idea that the skull literally changes nor that certain procedures affect our appearance later in life. Makes you think. Very informative!
I also found that interesting. I don't remember hearing about that, even in forensic classes.
Really? I personally think the procedures have made her look like a MTF. It's so sad.
@@zzjustamiragezz Not all that surprising. Every bone in your body loses mass with age. I combat that bone loss with weight training and plenty of vitamin D3 which helps absorb calcium. Don't know if you can do much about your face though.

I feel really sad for Madonna. As a 66 year old I wear my graying to white hair with pride. My wrinkles are a sign of a life well lived. It’s sad she couldn’t feel confident about being who she was.
Some people make a living using their appearance. That's what Madonna and other celebs do, and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is many choose the wrong doctors.

Wow. These videos really helps me to see that aging is natural and what celebrities go through just isn’t worth it
Well, they keep their jobs and make more millions, so it‘s probably worth it financially
I love myself and the way I look now. I was bullied when I was kid because I did not look like the other pretty girls. My self confidence was down for long time. The way I think about me changed when my first cat walked into my life 7 years ago. Now age 52 the last thing I have in mind is to look younger. Rescuing animals helping other people who needs help makes me feel Young.
Because you are beautiful and have a beautiful soul.
Moving on to other things is good, we all get old eventually. Even celebrities will look old at some point. It all means nothing. Being a good person and making a difference even if its not on a huge scale is important and gives you a lot of satisfaction and happiness. And you don't look desperate trying to look too young.
I rescue cats too. That is so much more important than serving vanity! Have you ever noticed that when you love and accept yourself you are so much happier. She would drink the blood of babies if she thought it would keep her young.
Bless you. 🙏💖
@@lucide9577 Bless you. 🙏💖
Well, I’m 37 and I feel better about it after watching this. Thankyou. Exercise, hydration, and SPF is the route I’m going down as time goes on, because the artificiality of extensive surgery just looks so rough to me.
Add take good care of your teeth to that list, oh and wear a good moisturizer!
I wish I had listened to my mom about SPF. My skin is wrecked from sun damage in youth.
well..
Everything in moderation is nice. If you have the means you can touch up on something you don’t like. You really only live once I’m definitely thinking about a procedure down the line.
Are you just now starting?
Only so much can be done after age 35. I began doing all that you listed at age 20 and people absolutely do not believe me when I tell my age.
Still, better to start taking care of your skin now than never.
Another thing to remember is your diet. Stay away from alcohol, salt, processed sugars, dairy, and meat. All of these things cause inflammation to the body on a cellular level.
I’m not against plastic surgery.
You should feel comfortable in your skin.
But always remember, being able to get old is a PRIVILEGE many who die young are not granted.
‘Many who die young’ aren’t granted the privilege of getting old? None of those who die young get old.
She has a problem with aging and does everything to look younger. She's 64 now and she'll never look like 20 again. She doesn't look good. We all get older, that's life. Every phase of life has something wonderful and that has nothing to do with how we look. I'm 52 and I'm proud of my age!
I would like to make one thing clear, as I have often been insulted here. I just realized that she's 64 and will never look 20 again. I didn't insult Madonna by saying that. So please stop insulting me.
Yes, some people NEVER even get to be old.....
I think the thing is: once you have started doing surgery, you can ´t stop anymore. It ´s like people who use sunbeds on a regular basis: they think they are pale, when they don ´t go 😮
Yes! I am sick of looking at fake women
Beebee - yeah, right - bet u would like to look at least 10 years younger.
Narcissists take aging to insanity.
I was a page at Paramount Studios on the music show Solid Gold in the eighties. I remember her walking out with a confident stride to the set in a long, straight pink wig. She was literally diminutive, but seemed large at the same time somehow. She slithered around on her tummy on the round main stage and was so adorable. Such a hard working, talented beautiful woman. 🌸
Solid Gold! Those were the days! What a cool story. Thanks for sharing!
@@michmash7888 They don't make shows like that anymore sadly. I loved that show as a kid and had completely forgotten all about it. Now I'll have the theme song in my head all day. And I'm fine with that.
Watched solid gold as a kid! 80s baby here! Born in 82!
Snakes slither.
I love these true stories! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing to see the progression. I never noticed her surgeries until the past few years, when she hit the alien phase -- but in this video, I notice the way she never allowed herself to develop a single wrinkle, a single sag, and how that intolerance added up over time. At 6:59 you see a hint of the beautiful woman she could have aged into. The plastic surgeon saw room for improvement; I saw natural beauty that was then interrupted. Tragic.
You can see she would have had heavy laugh lines ..likely from all the singing. But I always figured her for having a strong enough personality that she would not go the plastic surgery route. I guess all that pressure to look the part is just too heavy. I like to think if I had that sort of wealth I would arrange my recording and performance contracts to end before I felt I was no longer happy with being in the spotlight. Walk away with dignity. But who knows.
Yes, she had a stunning bone structure. She could've been a beautiful more mature woman instead of how she looks now. It's s sad.
Even in her 50s, she was gorgeous, but the cumulative damage started to show. She should have stopped then. 2020 was the last straw, I think.
Even as far as 2005, she looked ok. But 2006, she def got 'younger'. .. but it still looked age-acceptable. Even up to 2009.. It's after that, that the puffies started.. 2019, she started looking harder. and then just scary. 😢
This was very well said!
Well done ! Great video taken through the age progression and procedures of Madonna. Thank you
Thank you for being educational, fair, and very kind to the people whom you're describing! I really appreciate learning about how faces age in terms of muscle tissue, bone density, etc., and what that looks like on an aging face with or without surgical or nonsurgical methods. My grandfather is turning 98 this year and I've been looking at pictures from when he was younger--what's really fun for me is to still see how he greatly remains himself even though he's undeniably older. I don't think I'll age nearly as well as he has simply for the fact that I have less melanin protection, but I hope if I can take good care of myself and am lucky enough to make it anywhere close to his age that I can still see myself, too.
My aunt, who lived to 100, said "gettin' old ain't for sissies." It just makes me sad when people destroy their bodies trying to retain their youth. It can't be done. Aging gracefully is the best we can hope for. Meryl Streep, Barbara Streisand, Glenn Close and many others embrace age with wisdom.
All three of these women have had work done. 😅
Madonna has not destroyed her body. Have you SEEN her move? Good night I'm 12 years younger than her and I can't do a fraction of what she can do. There is nothing wrong with her face. It's not destroyed. If she hadn't done this people would be shredding her for being so wrinkled.
AMEN. God created me beautifully and wonderful ..Bible says ..In my old age God loves me and He carries me till the end.
Everyone ages differently and quite frankly we don’t know what Madonna would look like if she didn’t have work done. For all we know she was aging like a grape and she would be look absolutely haggard had she not filled out her face. In any event, it’s not for us to judge.
@@ShanteRoxxane IKR😂😂😂
This is why we need to let ourselves age naturally. Just let it happen and accept it. There is a certain age limit where your face can look good with fillers, granted it's done by a good doctor. But in old age it's never gonna work. Aging is okay and we should accept it.
You're thinking like a normal person in a normal life. Madonna is in the limelight. You're probably not. I don't fault her one bit.
@TucsonDude absolutely. It's the media and public who are at fault. Women aren't ALLOWED to age normally in Hollywood. Not if they want work. It's fucking bullshit.
@@TucsonDudeyes and she later embarrassed herself
To quote the ever beautiful Cary Grant, " growing old is a Priveledge"

@PulledPorkGarageYes, he is quite proud of the wonderful things he can do to make normal aging look like a monster make over for a Frankenstein movie.
For the right price of course.

I couldn't believe how bad Madonna's surgery was when she was on the Grammys this past Sunday. Can you do a review of what she did to her face recently. Thanks 😊
She looked dreadful and has ruined her looks. So desperate to stay young. Aging changes the hands, arms...it happens to all of us.
Yep we definitely need an update..x
Agree. I'm still finding it very hard to believe the person, supposedly, was Madonna. I've looked at pictures from the Grammys and I do not see Madonna. Even her eye color looks brown, not blue.
Yes; Dr Gary…. Please do an update of the most recent surgical work.. not to be mean but because her facial changes are so incredibly dramatic, they need an explanation…
I thought he was going to by the tumbnail I clicked on.
I came upon this video (I know - it's a year old) but I wanted to say I absolutely loved how you were completely honest about what you think was done but, at the same time, not sensationalizing or criticizing. You got my sub!
Such a sympathetic and kind Dr ❤
It would be great, Dr. Gary, if you could update this as of 2023. Because she doesn't "look" like Madonna anymore - especially during her recent presentation at the Grammy awards this past Sunday. Many thanks to you, for all you've shared and, for all you've taught us! You're the best and truly awesome!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Oops, Dr. Gary...I just saw you already answered my question in your recent "short" re Madonna. So...one less question to answer! Many thanks! 🥰
She used to be beautiful… but it’s her business what she’d like to do..
@@bluetomato8698 unfortunately her business is also selling image to young women, this distorted appearance is being touted as normal, imho it’s really disturbing.
For once I'm glad I read some comments before watching a video, because I didn't notice this was uploaded a year ago. The thumbnail shows the recent Grammy's look, somehow (?).
But I did find the Short you mentioned and watched it. So again, for once a viewer comment was actually helpful to another viewer. Thanks!!!
I give full credit to the doc for being respectful and maintaining a certain sensitivity when analyzing Madonna's transformation over the years. That would certainly be a much taller order had he waited a year until after her most recent Grammy's appearance. That being said, her defense of herself is expected and understandable in that we try to bring ourselves up not to draw impolite attention to people with different appearances and abilities. Much harder to do when certain people cosmetically modify themselves to noticeably appear more youthful, and the public pays the social toll with lectures on newly invented -isms and toxicity every time said people grossly miss the target on that aim.
People do what they want but sometime pay a price!!!
Why would that Doc do that to her. Also did he tell her how long It would take to de bloat her face? Her lips scared me.
I was just about to say the same thing. He's very respectful and thorough when it explaining. It irritates me to Dr's make videos making fun of people for likes on the internet. I sure wouldn't ever want them to be my doctor
@@connievino4226 Madonna's past behaviour and celebrity status makes her somewhat of a lightning rod for harsh criticism, both fair and cruel. Some people would use the topic of her cosmetic progression over the years to really lay it in on her.

Very interesting video Dr Linkov! My cousin is also a plastic surgeon in NY and sitting talking with him is equally fascinating, the details you guys notice is SO impressive, I know, its your job but still very impressive! So glad to have found your channel
He's a great Dr very smart informed and probably very trusted in this community 🎉
I'm 63 yrs old. I was always told when younger how pretty I was and a good figure by both men and women. I still had hang ups about my body but always thought to embrace my youth and I was always conscious it wouldnt last and people need to be more than about looks. It doesnt feel that great looking old but I am healthy, still alive and still feel young inside.
You are 10 yrs older than my mom. I turned 29 couple days ago and I'll just say that by the time I turned 26-27 , I realized that adults are just regular ppl only more experienced. They don't know everything and they don't feel old or they don't feel like they have a lot of wisdom bcz when I was 15,I saw 27 as old. When I was 5,my mom was 30 and obviously I would have thought that she knows everything and now that I am 29 and I have lived more life than she did at 29 bcz I have lived at different places and still I feel like I have barely experienced anything and that time has just swiftly passed. I can also see that how easy it is to see the mistake that a 14 yr old is making bcz we were the same at 14 , thinking we are now adult so we know what we are doing although we didn't know anything. Kids judge even a 29 yr old now so a tiny bit of insecurity is there sometimes but I see how confident my mom is of herself. She lived a rough life and now her life got easier so she is happy with that and when I was 16 and I once said sth like I won't live anymore bcz I failed in an exam, my mom said to me that "Not everyone gets to live a long life so if you are getting that chance , live as long as you can and try your best bcz many want to live but don't get the chance" and she said that bcz her dad died when he was 27-28, my dad aka her husband died when he was 31 and my mom's first born died at the age of 2.5 yrs old so she jist learned to appreciate life bcz all the deaths happened all of a sudden and it was all at different time. I learned to appreciate life bcz of her. The way society is going , it will get only harder to not get tempted by all this but one of the blessing in disguise I had was my bad mental health from which I healed and it took 7-8 yrs so that's why I got completely chilled by the time I reachee 28 bcz the world will always try to play on your insecurity but I have the responsibility to keep myself healthy and happy and so why care about the world. The sooner I accept myself the way I am, the easier it will be to live happily for the rest of my life.
@@Phoenix.219 Your last sentence hits hard!
I will be 64 on July 4th, 2024. I still feel young although my body doesn't and. I'm okay with that. I'm thankful and blessed to be alive.
Dude your wisdom and knowledge is astounding. We appreciate all the years of your life you devoted to researching the human body and just giving us a taste of what it's like.
he was born in a lab then was a surgeon ever since
I think one of the things that make me so engaded on your videos is how much knowledge you put on them without necessarily had to degradate people. Keep up the good work !!!
I am the same age as Madonna! Very thankful I am not stuck chasing youth. I love embracing my actual age!
You and me both
I bet you look Mahvelous! 🎉😅
@ 😂 I’m still recognizable from my youth! That’s about all I can say about it!
Gary, I really love your attitude throughout the analysis. The way you genuinely appreciate and respect the natural look in all its varied forms is very heartwarming; especially since you're a plastic surgeon. All the best, my man.
Just love Dr. Gary, his voice is so soothing and he tells it as it is x
Very honest and respectful.
I am the same age. A women in an elevator this week commented that I "looked 45." I work out, eat healthy and live a compassionate purposeful life volunteering where I can. There is beauty in aging if you allow it. Cosmetic surgery can be averted in you exercise your facial muscles. I do not want to look 25. I like who I am becoming and want no alterations.
This! ❤
Many women, including you and I, resort to exercise or at least be active, eat good food, sleep well, & positive mind to be beautiful, inside & outside.
We believe the strategy is sufficient for us -- no need for needle, let alone scalpel.
And the strategy is fruitful: I assume you're 64 years old and get compliment for looking like 45 (and I bet you feel like 45 😉). I'm 47, but looking & feeling much younger.
So, I'm confused.
Madonna has always been into exercise and good diet.
I still remember her toned body in the 90's.
She still has the body. Not as good as in the past, of course. But still good, tho.
All the exercise and diet has done good for her body.
Why doesn't she just let the exercise and diet work for her face? Why resort to plastic surgery?
OK, she's celebrity. She need some extra for her face. A little botox might give some extra kicks. Or a little bit of hyalutonic acid injection.
But why overdoing her face?
Why, Girl, why?
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
YES! Beautifully stated! I don’t understand why more people don’t exercise the facial muscles, like us! And kindness is the panacea for everything!
@@TrinaGallo Yup! 😊

I am a couple of years older than Madonna, and feel the same way. I work out nearly everyday, and try to eat right. My face may look old, but I 'feel' younger. Good health, rather than plastic surgery, is what those our age should strive for.
Hanging out with my grandma makes me wanna be a grandmother! I don’t want to die but to age is a gift.
I think the sad thing is most people would look at her now and just be shocked or confused, two reactions that rarely occur when ageing gracefully.
You are just jealous
@@chrisw9643 😂
My biggest question is - If Madonna came to you as a patient and said “I know I’ve gone too far and I want to look as natural as I can,” what procedures would you recommend? I imagine dissolving the fillers would result in sagging skin, but she’s already had so many lifts. Is she past the point of no return?
A head transplant
@@TP-om8of lmao
@@TP-om8of😅😂
@@TP-om8of More like a brain transplant.
@TP best comment!
Thanks for a very respectful analysis of Madonna’s procedures over the years. My favorite feature of Madonna’s has always been her eyes. They’re like jewels. Very beautiful! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
How very sad!
I'm just a tad older than Madonna. I've always kept my face clean, followed by moisturizing.
No foundation. I'm happy with my life and my gracefully aging face.
Bravo Brandy ,👍 same here 😊I don't trust all that botox stuff😬
I agree with you 100% my mom died at 55 I am in my late 60's I have aches and pain but I am so happy but my life also 💕
Amen!
Can I ask what moisturizer you like? I feel like I am so lost as what kind to use. In the summer I have very oily skin and then very dry in winter. Very sensitive and easily to breakout.
I am one year younger than Madonna. I'm happy to say I look great for my age compared to her!! Ugh...her face looks awful.
As I’m getting older my mirror isn’t that friendly to me anymore. You know all the wrinkles in the forehead,brown spots, drooping mouth corners… Sometimes I get so frustrated that I also want a facelift. Then my husband tells me that that is not necessary. That I still look good. He really is an angel ❤
Is nature
I never considered women who have an older appearance “uglier”, instead i consider them wiser than the younger one.
hahaha maybe he just doesnt want to spend for surgery😂😂😂✌🏼
Blablabla bla yeah yeah but when you look in the mirror it s pure horror
For me it's the lower chin... it was always a little problem in my youth (a little double chin), that I could manage by just keeping my head up...but I'd have to look up at the sky now🤪. In my latter 50s, I still don't have a much in the way of wrinkles and my big skin issue is rosacea...thank heavens for the green cover stick that removes a lot of my redness. Otherwise, I get mistaken for 40s. I've appeared about 5-10 years younger since I was 19... getting my hair cut for boot camp, I was told "You must be excited about starting highschool... getting a new hairstyle and all." 😂 Since then, it's been a lot of strange moments...the officer that wanted to know WHICH Ssgt was letting their kid wear their full uniform on base, the mall guard wanting to know why I wasn't at the highschool during school hours (I was 24, a veteran at this point, and at the local college). I had to drag out my license, military ID, and college ID. 🤷 It was annoying, but now I am enjoying the relatively slow pace of aging I'm prone to. Poor hubby is 4 years older and looks a few years older than he actually is. Meanwhile, I am told I look younger...a little bit of extra mom weight is involved too. There's one thing for sure...gravity works, when everything else fails. 😂
I love how you are very unbiased and neutral regarding these reactions. I appreciate your work, I think it's important that young girls know that natural ageing doesn't occur like this without some talented hands helping.
I followed!
Natural aging?😂
Do you imply that current Madonna's looks are made by "talents" ? What a joke ....she looks horrible, unnatural and odd. She's become unrecognizable and I don't think that any reputable (aka talented) medical doctor would advise her to carry on with these face lifts and other invasive procedures.
I'm a 68 year old man and my own relatives have accused me of having work done, and no one ever believed I was as old as I was through the years, but I started moisturizing in my teens and I didn't drink much alcohol. I did start smoking in my late twenties but I quit after a couple of decades. It wasn't until I had health issues and I became a caregiver for my parents that gravity caught up with me, but I still get compliments on my skin and lack of deep wrinkles.
It's amazing how all the money in the world can still not produce plastic surgery that actually makes you look younger. You retain some youthfulness features that make you look good for your age and youthful, but clearly nobody would confuse current Madonna with a 20-something or even 30-something.
Hiragana and Hangul....how do you pronounce your username??? __zuratan
And it's amazing how all money in the world couldn't make her intelligent 😂 she's so pathetic
You want to know someone's age, look at the skin on the back of their hands.
Well he did mention some things that you make you look younger. Botox will calm the stress of muscles, fillers will re-volumize the area. That happens as we get older. Also remember he said your bones even change. Your bones! There’s only so many things you can do. I totally understand the pressure thing to stay young looking but I also think she is somebody who would want to stay young looking and be on top for as long as you can. No one has a magic bullet to keep you looking 25. That makes me laugh lol
I know!! You spend all that money and you look awful!!! I would be embarrassed going out in public with bad plastic surgery.
I remember watching ‘Borderline’ video on MTV in 1984 for the 1st time and being so enamored and in awe of her. She truly is an icon, it just makes me so sad to see her now.
Same here. I was a huge fan and saw her first concert. I'm sad to see her turn out this way. She looks awful.
Find better aspirations
I am sure Madonna has 'body dismorphia' bless her. It's an awful thing to have.
I hope and pray she don't have anymore surgery.
@@reneecalvert4153 You could be on to something there. I would believe that. She works out many hours a day. Some kind of unrealistic obsession? I don't know..but you could be right.
@@juliedepaolo9971 I think it's as much to do with the culture of the industry that she's been in for so long as anything else.
In showbiz it is a fate worse than death (career wise) to look your age after a certain point. I agree she's taken it too far, but most celebs past a certain age get surgery done because this cultural obsession with youth and sex appeal demands it. I think it's the culture that turns them into these appearence obsessed people (and plus they have the money to indulge in it) where as the rest of us don't experience that degree of pressure and scrutiny.
It's ironic that we seek to stay young forever but doing all these things actually makes us look older at a certain age. That can be seen in this video. I think she looked the best in her 40s and then it started declining because she's been doing too much.
I agree. I am 69 and at age 45 I got a lower eye lid surgery. I had been ill with Lyme's disease and I looked pretty stressed . It was the best decision I ever made and only cost $2,000. i recently went to a plastic surgeon as I need an upper eyelid surgery now and I asked if a second lower one would be necessary. He said laser work was all I needed. The first one still looks pretty good. I have great skin according to him which I think makes me look good for my age. I take good care of my health and am not on any medications. If I could afford more work I would consider a brow lift or even a facelift. I do not ever want to look "weird" in my 70's with lots of fillers etc. I will keep my so called imperfections. They are what makes all of us who we are as individuals.
The Ray of Light/Music era is when she really popped off - both in beauty and vocals. Her voice was in it's strongest in thag two eras.
Same here. I always thought she looked her best from the late 1990s until 2010.
I think she looked her best in 85-92.
@R2K + Of course I would age "gracefully" too if I looked like her!!!!!
I have needed plastic surgery twice. Each time my doctors were kind caring and everything you'd want in a doctor. And both times my quailty of life was improved.
Im blown away by how incredible she looked at age 50. Whatever she was doing then she really should have rode out and allowed a natural progression.
it would be wonderful if she could do that but once you start tampering the aging that occurs after will ruin the surgery and you will have a mess so you have no choice but to continue. its a sad story
@@yylionthat’s true to an extent yes, but you don’t need to get so many procedures that you start to look like an alien the way she does now lol
sorry but by age 50 she was still artificial
I heavy disagree. She looks scary to me, I don’t think she’s aged well at all. I’ll always prefer less instead of more when it comes to makeup and work done
My mom looked better without any surgeries
I have really enjoyed the last day of watching your videos. I love how respectful and caring you are in the way you talk about people before, during, and after their procedures.
I don’t like her bushy eyebrows
I would love to see a video on Demi Moore - as of January 2021 her face is unrecognizable. An analysis of WTH happened to her face would be fascinating!
Yes!
I just googled this and it seems she may have done that with makeup? I haven’t seen more photos really past the runway thing.
@@VirginiaGeorge there's tons of pics from around the time. Check the daily mail! :)
wow i didn't know who she, the difference from 2020 to 2021 is astounding! it looks so botched imo
I agree - also, Helen Hunt.
Where is the final??? She looks so alien, not like Madonna at all anymore these days. It seems like science fiction. I was shocked the first and last time I would look at her, after years. She is gone. It's sad and it's warning. She was such a bright star
I learned that skin aging starts at 25. Also I found that my sensitive skin has become hyper sensitive now, so heat really affects me. When I get to hot I can break out in hives, also I'm super sensitive to some materials which feel scratchy on my skin, fibers like rayon and polyester don't feel good anymore. Even certain foods I used to eat now cause allergies.
So just be aware that your body changes as you grow older in many ways.
I don't know your age or your gender, but if a female alot of the symptoms you mentioned can be associated with birth control pills and copper IUD allergic reaction, also a possible Autoimmune disease which would also be a possibility if your Male....your symptoms can also have a severe and dangerous reaction at anytime (Anaphylactic Shock) please see a physician and get an Epi-pen and carry at all times and get a medical ID bracelet if your Doctor feels you need the Epi-pen.
you age as soon as you're born.
That happens to me too. I had to change the way I eat and the fabrics I use. Organic cotton, real silk are my fav.
@@giaica816 Been there, done that! Isn't it a pain? Though I guess I always did prefer natural fibers, so that's not so bad. Have no more gluten, food colorings, I'm even allergic to toothpaste. Makes my lips dry out and peel, and the inside of my mouth burn. Also have rosacea so have to be careful of sun, like Flynn. I hope yours gets no worse - sounds like you're taking good care of it.
Post menopause speakn here! Def after u go thru the final months to complete cessation of ur periods u DEF HAVE to treat ur entire body with respect in terms of moisturizing TWICE daily n maintaining fluid intake! Also supplements coupled with a healthy diet and excersize whithin ur limitations!(i have osteoarthritis 😐) so its not as easy as it once was but i TRY my best! At almost 50 years old now i am noticing the aging "demon" creepn up! Not good but i cant afford cosmetic surgery so i have NO choice but to "work" with wot i got n keep myself healthy and make up is an apsolute MUST!
I'm a year older than Madonna and remember her music and videos very well. Especially her performance at the Grammys performing Like a Virgin. I was never a fan of her music being that I was more into punk music but nonetheless there's no denying she was a trailblazer. It saddens me to see what she's become both physically and mentally. Aging isn't easy especially if you're in the spotlight.
So true. Men in the industry can age and continue doing movies and TV but let a woman start showing her age and most careers are over. Yes, it's still a man's world.
@@darkeststar3640 Sadly this is true
@@darkeststar3640 It's very sad indeed. I would say the best thing to combat this is more women should just essentially give the finger to the industry and continue doing. Shirley Manson from Garbage is doing this, hasn't had plastic surgery and embracing her age while still doing what she loves which is singing for her band.
@@darkeststar3640 I think Judy Dench has done a dazzling job at continuing her acting career into a nice, venerable old age. Old shaming is just stupid. I have a friend in his seventies who is proud of every year he's achieved. I think old people should be proud of their years--they didn't do anything stupid to end their lives.
Being in the spotlight is a pathetic cop out! There are numerous celebrities who are older than Madonna who haven’t gone to a plastic surgeon to butcher themselves! Aging is a part of life. How you live and carry yourself are keys to aging gracefully or aging at a rapid rate. Those who take care of themselves and live right will age with grace. Those who don’t take care of themselves and are for the streets will age at an accelerated rate and end up looking older than they are.
I had oily (white) skin my whole life until a few years ago. Now at 64, I am so happy I did because I have aged well. I love being this age and am happy and confident with a face & body that has more than done its job! Am I perfect-absolutely not-but I’m here! 👋
This gives me hope because I am 37 and have oily skin that sometimes drives me nuts, but I’m starting to appreciate that maybe that sheen will help me in the future 😂😂
@@melindasnyder5974 Big payoff coming in your 50s and on!!!
Yes, oily skin is the secret to looking years younger when you get over 60.
@@melindasnyder5974 Same boat here. I learned something years ago though. Use cold water to wash your face with. When you take a shower,
do a "final rinse", before you get out where the temperatire is not "cold" but it's way cooler than the nice hot shower you were taking.
I had MAJOR acne problems. Now, I have almost none. I dab rubbing alcohol on tissue and wipe the oil away if I've been marinating too long.
Hot water gives me awful acne. Cool water and I'm acne free.

I love the verbal explanation of aging. We always "see" aging, but a verbal explanation is so educational. These are really good and educational videos.🙂👍
Great point, I look at an aging face but can’t describe what has happened. This doctor explained in detail the effects of gravity as well as the changes to the body.
I remember when she lost weight before coming out with True Blue. She went from slightly curvy/healthy in 1985, to very thin and muscular in 1986-87. I know that you were saying she lost volume because of aging, but I always thought it was her dramatic weight loss in that time period.
Ok I am shocked. How is it I never noticed that she got rid of her beauty mark above her lip? When did she do that?

My sister called me once and said "I put on my coat yesterday, and mom's hand came out of the sleeve."
I like this way of thinking. I saw my Mom, now my grandmother. They were both very beautiful women.
As someone who is never going to have any of these surgeries I found the video very interesting. There was a period in my lifevwhen I, for no fault of my own, became too reliant on my looks. It was a very unhappy period in my history. I now rely on my intellect and sense of humour and am so much more happy. Nobody stays young forever and being comfortable with yourself is the ticket.
She's hit the point where her procedures are starting to actually make her look older

@@mikekares-b8q definitely. I’ll never do anything to my body cause I’m getting older. They think plastic surgery will change anything.
I think Dr Gary hit on something you don't hear often. The bone structure decays as well when we age. I think Madonna's surgeries have been very good, but the bone structure is not cooperating. She's keeping artificial youthfulness, but the changes in her face bone structure are making her look like a different person over time. Naturally we all look like slightly different people as we age though, so it's not her fault.
Exactly!
