Bruce Jenner is known to many people as an Olympic hero. In the 1976 Olympic Games, Jenner broke the world record for points when he won the decathlon. In a gesture that has since been emulated by many athletes, a bystander handed him an American flag and he held it high as he ran his victory lap, cementing his place in the hearts of many viewers.
In the 30 plus years since the Olympics, Jenner has since become a spokesman for Wheaties cereal and appeared on many television shows, most notably Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which he stars in with his wife and children. What has become more apparent, recently, has been Jenner's past plastic surgery mishaps and his recent procedure to correct failed facelift operations.
Over twenty five years ago, Jenner went against the advice of doctors and had a facelift and rhinoplasty. The result was far from what he had expected. While Jenner was certainly not disfigured or horribly scarred, his appearance changed rather dramatically, sparking a flurry of rumours over the years, ranging from horrific surgery tales to the rumour that he was burned while fleeing a burning house with his family. The truth is far less dramatic.
Jenner received an ill advised partial face lift as well as rhinoplasty. He has never spoken publicly about the surgery, and refused until recently to publicly acknowledge the incident. That all changed recently, however, when Jenner decided to have reconstructive cosmetic surgery to repair the results of his former surgery. The results were revealed on his television show with his supportive wife and children by his side. Daughter Kim called the episode "heartfelt" and stated that viewers gained an insight into how the initial procedure affected Bruce Jenner throughout the years.
There is little doubt that cosmetic surgery is popular among stars. When you put your face and body in the right hands and listen to the advice of a qualified surgeon, the results can be remarkable. The tiniest changes can produce remarkably dramatic results. Bruce Jenner had the unfortunate experience to go against surgical advice, and he lived with the results for over two decades. The world finally has a chance to see the new and improved Bruce, and his family seems more than impressed by the results. Whether you know him for his acting or his Olympic heroism, there is little doubt that it is excellent to see Bruce Jenner looking so good and healthy again.

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.
Many young actresses deny cosmetic procedures or say that they will never undergo cosmetic enhancement, however singer Hilary Duff has come out and admitted that she understands the need for such procedures and agrees it is likely that she will have work done in the future if she feels she needs to do so. She feels that some procedures are necessary to retain a youthful look, but she does confess that some celebrities go overboard with procedures
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.
