Survey: Should Hollywood stars be more open about plastic surgery?
CELEBRITY PLANS PLASTIC SURGERY ON TV
Model and actress Brigitte Nielsen is 44 but wants to look 30, so she’s planning to get a facelift, eye lift, breast lift, fat injections, liposuction and dental work.
All of that will be shown on a three-part German TV series that’s scheduled for next month, reports the newspaper Der Spiegel.
Nielson, who was married to actor Sylvester Stallone from 1985 to 1987, says:
“I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theater. I know I will be breaking a taboo. But I’m sure that it will provoke a new discussion. It’s time things change. I feel 30 and want to look that way again.”
The Danish-born actress, who appeared in “Red Sonja” and “Rocky IV,” called for more openness about plastic surgery in Hollywood:
“The secrecy in Hollywood is annoying. You can see that the stars do not age naturally. It’s not right that the fans, the normal women, are lied to.”
Nielsen posed for Playboy magazine 20 years ago and plans to do so again later this year to show off her new body.

44?? You are kidding me. Her hard-party days have definitely caught up with her! In this photo, she looks 60 plus.
Nice that she has the money for a “do-over”. But if she keeps smoking, that face is going to wrinkle up again in a week.
I think she looks great, but being in the field she’s in, I guess she has to have plastic surgery to get jobs. Are stars too secretive about plastic surgery? They may not say they’ve had it, but it’s not to hard to see who has and who hasn’t. They’re not fooling anyone, but it’s their own business and if they want to announce it, it’s up to them.
44 my foot. Try 54. Unless her alcoholism caught up with her. If it did then she’s been partying WAY too hard.
OMG!!! say what!!! only 44 yr…..nah…..I bet she is that’s a lie……she look like 60+……and more like a horse=face…
There is no way she is 44. I am 42 and I barely have expression lines and no wrinkles yet. I am too poor for botox treatments and using poison to freeze my face scares me.
I just can’t believe it. Her publicist has to be lying. No absolute way is this woman 44 years old.
There is no way this woman is only 45 years old. Why is she saying this? It is an obvious lie. Does she think the public is stupid?
The woman smokes like a chimney. It’s no wonder her skin turned to wrinkly paper. It dosn’t help that she is wearing waaaay too much foundation. It just highlights every wrinkle on her face. She may be older than 45, but her life style has sped up the processes.
