Paulina Porizkova was not happy with the comments made by a plastic surgeon about her face. She showed her displeasure with a lengthy Instagram post detailing how she came to know about the comments. The outburst stemmed from the surgeon’s dissection of her face and his opinion on what her face needs to look perfect.
The Swedish supermodel, who had always been an advocate for older women in Hollywood, struck out clearly in her caption that telling a woman what to do to be seen as attractive is shaming.

Paulina, 57, is not new to counter criticisms. In the past, she responded to those who criticized her for sharing a nude picture at her age. In her recent post, she revealed, “This is what an older woman in the public eye gets to deal with. I’m told my face needs ‘fixing.’ It has somehow gone ‘wrong’ by aging.”

She pointed out the efforts of others in the same shoes as hers, “Is it any wonder that most of us who have the means will resort to some forms of fixing what we’re told is broken?”
She Sets The Record Straight
Further in her reply, she claimed that she has taken some of the treatments recommended before and that she is having a hard time accepting the “unnatural details” of her face.
She added, “For the record, I have had laser treatments and the plasma pen. I’d like to strike a balance between being proud to look my age and still getting to feel pretty at times. In my job, I’m faced with my face in almost unnatural detail – and although I have come to accept most of it, I still have a rough time accepting it all.”
Finally, the supermodel encouraged everyone to find what is “beautiful” in their friends and “point it out.” She believes that the best way to support your friend is to “celebrate what is already there” and not by pointing out their imperfections.
