Leave Kim Novak Alone!

Perhaps one of the biggest stories coming out of last night's Academy Awards was the response to Kim Novak's appearance. As they tend to be, online commenters were fairly cruel in discussing the appearance of the 81-year old screen legend, saying her face appeared overworked because of plastic surgery. However, the team here at the Beverly Hills plastic surgery medical network, We Know Beauty, thinks that it's unfair to Ms. Novak to be so cruel.

Considering that our society (and Hollywood more so) prizes youth and beauty, it's time to stop shaming women who undergo such scrutiny. We have the feeling that the same commenters would be equally cruel to somebody who dared step on stage looking 81 years old. It's simply time to just let people look and feel their best, no matter if they choose to get plastic surgery or not.

Perhaps the true issue is with the quality of her perceived work. As we've seen during secondary procedures like revision rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, the stigma of obvious plastic surgery from other medical practices can be incredibly cruel. We Know Beauty excels at changing obvious plastic surgery into natural and gorgeous results that should have been achieved the first time.

The best plastic surgeons working for We Know Beauty strive to help all patients achieve their cosmetic and wellness goals by providing personalized, comfortable, and excellent work. Our job isn't to convince people to get plastic surgery; it's our job to provide the safest and highest quality cosmetic surgery in Southern California.

Regardless, We Know Beauty believes that Kim Novak is a beauty icon who has inspired many throughout the years and we hope she continues to get respect for her contribution to film.
