Lorraine Bracco and Botox Injection Rumors

Botox injections are women’s miracle cure for fine lines and wrinkles. The discovery of Botox is also responsible for many botched plastic surgeries. Due to the widespread acceptance of botox use, some users overdose on botox, ending up with lumpy and plasticky looks. Smiles look fake and faces look weird on cameras. However, such bad plastic surgery consequences do not deter people from using botox. The benefits of taking years off the face outweighs any potential risks of a botched plastic surgery.

For Lorraine Bracco, her face looks rather lumpy and unnatural. Though her face has only few lines or wrinkles, there appears to be some unnatural lumps on her face. Her tight and taut look might signal the use of facelifts. Her smooth face hides the fact that she is already above 60 years old. Though she has not admitted to a facelift or a botox injections, some netizens believe that she has done it.

Lorraine Bracco and Eyelid Surgery Rumors

Eyelid surgery is mainly used to refresh the eyes and remove signs of aging around the eyes. It is also used to reshape the eyes and make the eyes look bigger. Furthermore, as a person ages, the lack of elasticity causes excessive skin to form on the upper and lower eyelids. Such formation of skin results in visible wrinkles around the eyes. This will make a person look much older than her age. As such, people undergo eyelid surgery to remove such excess skin. Upper eyelid surgery tends to last more than 5 years before revision procedures are done. For lower eyelid surgeries, usually one eyelid surgery will last a long time.

For Lorraine Bracco, her eyes looks distinctly different. At age 61, the lack of wrinkles around her eyes spark eyelid surgery rumours. If she did not undergo eyelid surgery, such a lack of wrinkles around the eyes demonstrates superb maintenance of her looks. Once, Lorraine Bracco mentioned that she wanted plastic surgery, but she backed out when she was about to undergo the procedure. The reason was because she eventually felt that plastic surgery will not help her.

Nonetheless, many netizens still believe that she went ahead with the procedure.

But, clearly, Lorraine denies the surgeries. She said “I’m really considering doing a lot of plastic surgery — I want to do it so badly.I go to the doctor but I just can’t do it. I’m afraid of turning into a Picasso – I see that in a lot of women, a lot of girls even. But inside I want to do it.”

Overall, Lorraine Bracco has managed to look young for her age. Her neck does not even show signs of aging. Perhaps her weight loss has helped her look younger and healthier. Since she has never admitted to any plastic surgery, it will be hard to judge her conclusively. But whatever it is, the fact is that Lorraine Bracco has shown incredible resilience to the effects of aging. What do you think of Lorraine Bracco plastic surgery?
