American actress, Jamie Lee Curtis, has warned against the dangers of plastic surgeries, social media obsession.
Curtis said this in a recent interview with Fast Company. She opened up about her years of sobriety after plastic surgery and she warned about what you lose after having your face and body remodeled.
“I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now.”
Curtis said she had plastic surgery for her eyes. She has always been open to being addicted to opiates in the late 1980s. According to her, her addiction lasted for a decade till she became sober in 1999.
According to an interview she granted People Magazine in 2018, she said, “I was ahead of the curve of the opiate epidemic…I had a 10-year run, stealing, conniving. No one knew. No one.”
She blamed social media for the rush of plastic surgery and the rise of making sure everything is perfect for the camera.
Curtis said the new craze with fillers, filters and new apps about perfection is slowly affecting the new generation on how they should describe beauty.
“The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty.
“Once you mess with your face, you can’t get it back,” she said.
She said although she has had procedures done on her face years ago, she can now finally accept herself after years of sobriety.
“… I can’t live without my sobriety.”
“My sobriety has been the key to freedom, the freedom to be me, to not be looking in the mirror in the reflection and trying to see somebody else. I look in the mirror. I see myself. I accept myself.”
