Does plastic surgery distract you?

). Helgenberger's has never bothered me, and doesn't look all that extreme in pictures--maybe just a face lift?
Meg Ryan is one of those people that I can't really watch anymore. Her plastic surgery just creeps me out.
It definitely gets distracting once someone has taken it too far, or just had too much done at once. Are people unfamiliar with the term "subtle"? You wanna get a tiny bit of work done, okay, but some of these actor's transformations are too dramatic. Do they really think they look BETTER?
cycle of plastic surgery and high resolution video
Yes.
Part of the vicious cycle is actually High Definition video.
Have you seen the red carpet arrivals & red carpet interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" in HD? They do not use any filtration on that stuff and you see it all.
Plastic surgeons will be busier in the next few years getting many on-air personalites and actors looking 'better' for HD cameras. Flatter lighting helps, diffusion filtration helps but aging gracefully just is not much of an option for many on-camera people in this century.
What happens in another 5-10 years. There will be more "overboard surgery Meg Ryans" around because wrinkles just aren't as acceptable with higher resolution that HD 1080p source video brings.
Plasma screens for Executive Producers and Producers allow them to see more problems on the faces of their assets under contract to a episodic TV series.
The Star Trek XI Blu-ray will surely have all of the special features shot in HD but most of the actors are under age 35. When we get to Star Trek XV and the HD special features really showing some aging on the nuTrek actors...

Chicks with plastic surgery look horrible. I can understand if you got hurt and need surgery, but if you look normal then turn into another Joan Rivers, then forget it!
Like anything, in moderation it's ok. But once you go overboard, it just becomes distracting and unattractive.
I'm not distracted at all by *SQUIRREL!!!! * anything like plastic surgery. I'm not really distractable.
Another recent example for me was Sharon Lawrence on Greys Anatomy. During the whole episode she appeared in I was saying to my wife "she looks familiar but I just can't place her". It was only later when I looked up the episode on IMDB that I found out it was her.
I think Jennifer Grey looked better before i had to be told who she was when i saw her on TV.
Yeah, I can't tell at all. If she's had work done, it was *really* good work.
The weird inflated lips always bug me. It looks like they hooked up an air compressor and left it on too long.
Mary Tyler Moore had to have a special glowing light on her during Change of Habit (1969) because she was already wrinkled due to diabetes. Standing next to Elvis in his glorious prime didn't help either. She looked bony and wrinkled with a constant glowing light that made her look sallow. She honestly would have looked more natural without her glow-light. She was also severely out-prettied by one of her female co-stars, which didn't help.
And yes, plastic surgery, except for extremely subtle work, is very distracting.
Speaking of Elvis... Priscilla has had some infamous work done that got a lot of negative attention when she was on Dancing with the Stars. She looks like a wax doll who is trying to look exactly how she did in the '60s forever. Her hands show her real age, though. Elvis fans have been making Joker/Priscilla manips and comparisons for years.
