Jamie Lee Curtis is warning people who want to rely on plastic surgery to deal with their own insecurities about their looks or aging—but also to deal with the image obsessed film and TV industry—to reconsider.
Curtis is on the record as having had plastic surgery.
She cautioned her experience with surgery "didn't work."
"It got me addicted to Vicodin...I'm 22 years sober now."
Jamie Lee Curtis Fears Plastic Surgery and Procedures 'Are Wiping Out Generations of Beauty'https://people.com/style/jamie-lee-curtis-fears-plastic-surgery-and-procedures-are-wiping-out-generations-of-beauty/?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=615cdbc8a67777000190002d\u00a0\u2026— People (@People) 1633475529
Jamie Lee Curtis is a natural beauty and she's right. Thing is, once people start their plastic surgery journey they become obsessed, don't know when to stop and don't realize perfection will never be found. Love the skin you're in!!— Cha (@Cha) 1633477947

@jamieleecurtis She is spot on about that. I can\u2019t wait to watch Halloween Kills. Love her.— Bill (@Bill) 1633485490
Curtis also expressed she thought plastic surgery was actually bad for humankind.
"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's right... these women go and get the same work done. They all look alike...predictable and boring--not natural beauty.— Timeless20 (@Timeless20) 1633476078

Curtis has been vocal about her position on plastic surgery in the past, but mostly as it relates to her addiction to opioids via Vicodin which she battled for a decade until getting sober in 1999.
After a routine procedure to remove the puffiness from her eyes, Curtis revealed she was prescribed Vicodin to deal with the pain of recovering from surgery.
"They gave me Vicodin as a painkiller for something that wasn't really painful," she said.
Definitely true.Someone who close to me by marriage, in the past,has had so much plastic surgery her kids have no idea what they can expect as they age.Can\u2019t say she was beautiful ever, but now she just looks like every other vain woman w/ disposable $.https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/05/entertainment/jamie-lee-curtis-beauty/index.html\u00a0\u2026— maphead (@maphead) 1633490841
Bravo. %100 correct and to the point.— Ihsan Qadir (@Ihsan Qadir) 1633511639
I think cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal thing.\n\nI also agree with Jamie Lee Curtis that we should encourage each other to appreciate the deepening of our individual beauty as we age.— Parsley Sage (@Parsley Sage) 1633390758
I knew a guy in Los Angeles--buff, blond, smooth taut skin. But something was always a bit off.\n\nTurns out he was an older gay who'd had just about every procedure done en masse. I saw a pre-op photo and he was an absolutely hot college professor type.— Parsley Sage (@Parsley Sage) 1633390769
I was like, why TF would he ruin that?\n\nAfter realizing the surgeries hadn't actually made him younger, he went off the deep end, became an "ex-gay", left his lover of 30 years and married a woman.— Parsley Sage (@Parsley Sage) 1633390833
Curtis blamed social media for the increase in cosmetic surgeries.
"It's like giving a chainsaw to a toddler," she said.
"We just don't know the longitudinal effect, mentally, spiritually and physically, on a generation of young people who are in agony because of social media, because of the comparisons to others.
"All of us who are old enough know that it's all a lie — it's a real danger to young people."
Curtis's journey to self-acceptance, she says, began with her sobriety.
