Read about a television personality who passed away recently. She was only 32, very beautiful and the mother of 3 young children. How did she die? - supposedly while undergoing a plastic surgery procedure.
We will all age eventually, unless we prefer to die young. Ageing is a process which can start from varying ages dependent on one's genes ,lifestyle, or other reasons.
The sad thing is that young lady who died looked perfect to me, but she obviously wanted more..
Thankfully l am not in a profession where l am constantly in the public eye, otherwise l might have panicked just a little when the first sign of ageing showed up.
I noticed that my neck did not look as firm as it used to while everywhere else was...
Where did you first notice the signs? - skin, neck, hands, hair...?
Would you go under the knife to look younger or more beautiful?

It's sad what women will do to look younger. Do you remember Joan Rivers? She had so many plastic surgeries she looked hideous before she passed away. She was a beautiful woman before she decided she needed to enhance her looks.
No, I would never undergo plastic surgery. It took this long for me to accept that I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror now, I see a woman who has aged gracefully and looks beautiful. Gone are the days when looking at the picture behind the woman when I thought I was ugly and unloveable. Now, I see that picture and see how beautiful I was at 18, and how beautiful I am at 70. I'm almost that. I will be in July.

Looking at that picture behind you , whatever made you think that you were ugly and unloveable? I see a beautiful young girl with a shy smile. And yes, you are ageing slowly and gracefully. I do remember Joan Rivers, she was having another surgery when she passed.

No because I do not trust those surgeons.

@Kandae11 Yes it seems so and then the person can't get their face back.

Plastic surgery - no way - I will try to age gracefully. I don't even color my hair . . . grays popped up maybe in my late 30s but now it is salt and pepper (maybe more salt ). It's not too bad in the skin department, but oh I can see I don't have the youthful plumpness as much as I used to .

Hair, I started to get grey hair when I was very young, but it looked done on purpose because I was and looked young.
The neck is not as firm as it was but I cannot complain, I do not have many wrinkles, also my hands still look pretty good. I would say that I am lucky. I would never go under the knife, no way.

Many people begin greying from an early age, l don't know what is the reason for that. My mother began greying in her thirties and recently l noticed a few greys in my son's hair - he is in his thirties.
I think l am doing okay so far - without the help of plastic surgery.

I think, no. I'll never change what God's already gave me. But, I'll of course take care of my body and face, such as using skincare, bodycare, hair care, etc.

My neck is not as firm. I do not mind aging. It's a natural process.

@Kandae11 Yes, we can slow the process by exercising, have enough sleep and a healthy diet.

I have no idea, they seem to sneak up on you. Maybe some gray hair in my 40's.

I have taken age in my stride and yes I do see those two lines on either side of my nose specially when I try to smile.

I would not. Of course, I am blessed, as I seem to get better looking each day. There is a beauty in the smoothness of the skin and the innocence in the eyes of a younger person. But there is also a beauty in the skin that shows work and they eyes that show compassion and wisdom in they eyes of an older person.

Signs of aging comes with age. I don't have rinkles even at this age. I wouldn't go for a plastic surgery after crossing 60. At 30s I had a pretty tight skin.

It is usually the neck and the hands that give away our age. I'd rather just try my best to live healthy, age gracefully accept and be happy with myself. To go under the knife is so expensive not to mention risky and scary too.

If I were in her position of fame and glory, I would consider it because, in the first place, it's the basis of their occupation. However, if she was confident in her skills as a TV personality, no matter how old she was, people would still watch her shows. It's a sad story.
