While the most common things you hear regarding cosmetic surgery and celebrities are stories of surgeries gone wrong, such as Tara Reid and Michael Jackson or blatant denials, such as those issued by people like Lindsey Lohan, you very rarely seem to hear celebrities coming out to publicly endorse cosmetic surgery - or at least that was the case until recently. In the past year, a number of celebrities have spoken out about surgeries and procedures and admitted that they actually support the industry, which many people know is responsible for the appearances of many of our favourite stars.

Among the stars who endorse cosmetic surgery are George Clooney and James Bond heartthrob Daniel Craig. Both have had work done, with Clooney undergoing a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery and Craig having work to repair an on-set injury. Both men credit the cosmetic surgeons with their appearance and seem to understand the role that cosmetic surgery fills in many lives.

Even as many young actresses deny cosmetic procedures or say that they will never undergo cosmetic enhancement, singer Hilary Duff has admitted that she understands the need for such procedures and admits that she will likely have work done in the future if she feels she needs to do so. While she admits that some celebrities go overboard with surgeries, she feels that some procedures are necessary to retain a youthful look.

On the opposite end of the age spectrum are ladies like Sharon Osbourne and Vanessa Williams , both of whom admit to cosmetic procedures. Osbourne has had multiple procedures and Williams has undergone Botox injections. Both women feel that cosmetic procedures have greatly improved their appearance and are adamant about their willingness to undergo future procedures if necessary. Osbourne has stopped having procedures, but states that she will have them again in a second if she begins to sag, and Williams admits that Botox is a great surgery free procedure that leaves her looking beautiful.

It is refreshing to read about celebrities who are open and honest about cosmetic procedures. While many starlets and actors undergo cosmetic procedures, many seem to work as hard as possible to hide the fact. Cosmetic surgery is nothing to be ashamed of, and most people are aware of the fact that even celebrity’s age. In a time when reality television seems to be taking over the airwaves, it is nice to see that some actors, actresses, and singers don't mind getting real about their cosmetic surgery procedures .
