What she really looks like.

Wow that’s sad.

At least she doesn’t have duck lips.

Eh- yuck. How untalented is her surgeon that he can’t make her look like herself? Could he not find any photos anywhere?

That's really Melanie? I used to have a crush on her when I was younger, there was this natural, bubbly cuteness about her.

She’s got a feature in the latest issue of InStyle, and looks surprisingly great!

Only thing that looks good on Melanie is Antonio.

Whoa. Does MG have a fake chin? It seems abnormally huge. That look usually seemed like a good idea at the time, but creates an abnormally long face. Seems like an extra money maker for the surgeon!

What she really looks like.

But isn't the first photo photo-shopped?

Agree. She looks lovely. She just doesn't look like Melanie Griffith anymore. Not even an older version of herself. She could literally be just...any 61-year-old woman who had plastic surgery.

She looks lovely with photoshop somewhat ironically making her look somewhat human. In her defense she seemed to have had some really bad plastic surgery and fillers over the last few years. Maybe this was a cleanup job.

But she doesn’t look like herself. Plastic surgery for aging makes people look worse. I would so rather look like Brigitte Bardo or Meryl Streep or Lisa Kudrow does. With wrinkles: but human and gorgeous. All the inflated ladies (and gents - Jeffrey Bilhuber, we see you, Chipmunk Cheeks!) scream insecure and internally ugly.

Have you seen a recent picture of Brigitte Bardot?

Yeah. She looks 84. And human.

Those top two photos don't look like her and look great. Doesn't look like a total surgery face. She fixed her lips that looked like my bloated labia after childbirth.

To the people mentioning Brigitte Bardot, she's a rather famous example of what bastards sun damage and smoking are. I don't know how you can call that 'graceful' aging to damage your body like that- no different than rampant plastic surgery (aka postsurgical Melanie 2.0 prior to Melanie 3.0).

Interesting article from a few years back re: growing old gracefully- Bardot vs Loren:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/beauty/article-1217269/Why-Id-age-disgracefully-like-Brigitte-Bardot-beauty-regime-like-Sophia-Lorens.html

Basically, women who age gracefully, even with some work done, didn’t request from their surgeons to look sexy. They also didn’t attempt to get the features they never had - pillow cheekbones, fat lips, button noses, cat eyes.

I'll add Susan Sarandon and Helen Mirren to this list and in the interest of everyone reading here, this is what I believe the general consensus to be on this "aging gracefully." Limite filler and botox. Other skin stuff (lazers, peels, etc) and then...you get one, old school facelift that picks up the jowls, the neck, the obvious. Around 65 would be when you do this. Heck, half my mom's friends did this before their kids' weddings. They look totally "like themselves" and will 'age gracefully." It's when you want to do it all and go from 0 to 100 with everything it looks weird.

+1 exactly

these is a huge number of procedures to age gracefully. i am not against it, it's just kind of weird to say this as some kind of opposite to melanie griffith. what if your facelift doesn't work?

Ugh, she looks like a generic barbie doll. So much better with her original distinctive face.
