Plastic Surgery Articles

As the 2008 presidential election draws closer, the two candidates are not the only ones in the spotlight. Senator John McCain’s wife, Cindy McCain, has also taken center stage, but unlike her husband, her political views have taken backseat to her looks.

Yes, her looks, which are said to be too good to be natural. Cindy, 54, has gossipers all over the world wondering who her plastic surgeon is. Although she has never come out and admitted to having plastic surgery, the public seems to agree that it is written all over her face, her forehead and her neck.

Critics have pointed out that her forehead never moves — a likely result of Botox injections and that her upper eyelids and brows are extremely arched, which is a possible result of eyelid surgery, otherwise known as an upper blepharoplasty.

The same critics have reported that Cindy’s full, smooth cheeks are probably the result of an injectable filler such as Juvederm and that her tight face, taut neck and sturdy jaw must be the result of a facelift and maybe even a chemical peel.

Other cosmetics treatments the public is betting she has undergone are laser skin resurfacing treatments like Fraxel, Active Fx, or Thermage, which help get rid of fine lines and pigmentation caused by sun damage and aging.

Just look at her hands, which tell it all, argue some. Her hands which show the true aging of her skin — thin, loose skin freckled with age spots. Compare that to the skin above her neck and the truth should be obvious.

As the wife of Senator McCain, Cindy has been in the natural spotlight for years. Recent photos reveal that the once saggy skin and extra fat in her neck has vanished. More exercise and a stricter diet plan? Very well could be, however, critics argue that her youthful look should be credited to the appropriate source — her plastic surgeon.
