Jane Fonda's Candid Cosmetic Surgery Confession

Actress, activist and fitness icon Jane Fonda has been aging fabulously, no? But she's not just going to let everyone think it happens without an effort-she has a higher moral beauty code than that.

In fact, last week, she blogged about her recent procedures on janefonda.com, where she posts plenty of personal pictures, letting everyone in on one of her secrets to looking so spectacular in her seventies: "Bob Evans complimented me on my new, short haircut and I said, 'Thanks. I just had some 'work' done on my chin and neck and had the bags taken away from under my eyes so I decided it would be good to get a new hair cut so people will think it's my new hair.' He thought that was so funny he actually toasted me for doing what he said he'd never heard anyone do before: admit they'd had work done. I was planning on blogging about it anyway so who cares? I'm writing a book about aging so I couldn't very well NOT talk about it."

She goes on to say, "I swore in 2000 I'd never have anything done again but this year I got tired of not looking like how I feel and I wanted a more refined chin line like I used to have so I changed my mind. I'm still a little swollen but not much and what pleases me is that I won't looked pulled or weird...or tired all the time. And my crows feet are still alive and well. I wish I'd been brave enough to not do anything but, instead, I chose to be a somewhat more glamorous grandma. So there."

Admitting to and talking about cosmetic surgery is up to each individual patient, but we love Ms. Fonda's unapologetic and inspiring attitude!

At least she admits it. It's ridiculous to see people over 50+ with a taut chin line insisting they've never had work done. I think she looks great.

I do not agree with very much of your ideology! I saw you on Charlie Rose and found out we have something in common. I also love being 14000 ft all alone. You have the best facelift I have ever seen. I am 57 and am ready to look like a hot Grandma. I will definitely look up Dr Soto.

I have always been a fan of Jane Fonda! She looks great and I admire her honesty about the plastic surgery. Now, it is time for me to do some work and I live in Atlanta. Who is Jane's plastic surgeon? Please pass on the name.

Well-done aesthetic surgery absolutely should be about feeling you look as good as you feel. It should inspire the quiet confidence we all enjoy when we are happy with the image we present to the world. By jealously guarding the secret of their self improvement, I sometimes worry that the benefit to a woman's psyche of looking better may be diminished. In the end, each must decide their comfort level with divulging the truth- Jane looks fabulous and is a great example of how good you can look and feel with a bit of "maintenance" along the way!

Thank you, Jane, for telling the truth. Women place such unreasonable expectations on themselves and others, worsened by those media figures who've lifted, augmented, sucked, narrowed and then claim, self-righteously and unbelievably, never to have gone under the knife. Thank you for admitting to one of the factors in your graceful aging.
