I don’t think getting a facelift is useless. What’s more important, pretty hands or a pretty face? Anyway, I think she’d benefit more from injectables to fill out those wrinkles. Her jowls aren’t so bad (a facelift generally fixes the jowls more than the wrinkles).

MTM has had that corpse-like look for years already. She’s had way too much done over the years and she looks hideous. Her neck looks as bad as her face does. There’s no point at all in face lifts after a certain point because not only do the hands give you away, but so does the neck and upper chest/cleavage area. Nothing looks more nauseating than a older woman with an unnaturally smooth complexion, and the rest of the body looks mummified. No wonder we only ever see Priscilla Presley’s face. She keeps the rest of her body totally covered in clothes. Even her hands!

I don’t think she loks like she’s had a face lift at all. She’s still wrinkly and able to smile.She looks like an older woman aging nicely.

Mary Tyler Moore is a diabetic, and they cannot tolerate a lot of the anesthesia drugs- those suppress their respiration. Diabetics are not supposed to have voluntary surgery, since being put out is so dangerous. I’m sure she’s had some less-invasive procedures, but this might be a deep peel, not a face lift- my stepmother got very face lifty results from chemical peels. MTM is 72- she’s got some years on her!

MTM has had a LOT of work done over the years. The nose, yes. And her eyes have looked hollowed out for many years now. Not to mention the too-big teeth. She was beautiful before all that work, and so talented. Now I can barely look at her.

I disagree with the first post who not surprisingly is a doctor, of what may I ask Plastic Surgery????
Although I think MTM does look pretty scary I cannot help but love her for some reason and I don’t even know her.

This is the thing, some people do not age well. MTM is one of them. Years ago, about 15, I saw her walking in Central Park. We were walking in opposite directions. She was wearing shorts, and I have got to say she did not look good, her body’s skin, at least her legs, was saggy and wrinkly. Women like MTM would have done themselves a lot of good to have eaten more fish, to have gotten the good fats, the omega-3 fats. It really protects you from aging that way. I heard, or read (I don’t remember), an interview of Lena Horne’s, it was years ago, too–she said that the reason why she had no wrinkles was because she ate a lot of salmon. Don’t be afraid of fats, they will help you age gracefully. Of course, they have got to be the good fats. Check out the website wapf [dot] org (or is it “com”?) It is for the Weston A. Price Foundation.

Wow, i don’t know who looks worse, her or Joan Rivers. It’s sad, she looks horrible, why not accept that you are goign to get old and stop trying to defy it? just eat right, take vitamans and work out?? i’m sure she’s starving herself.

Diabetics have serious issues with blood flow and healing. Elective surgery would be incredibly risky, especially as one ages, as age in itself lends itself to delayed healing. Both diabetes and age leaves a great risk for developing keloids. As such an outspoken woman for diabetics I would hope she’s not taking any foolish risks for the sake of vanity.
