Susan Sarandon admits to having liposuction

Actress Susan Sarandon has revealed her secrets for staying sexy at 65 – including having liposuction on her face.

In an interview with People magazine, the Hollywood star explained she had the procedure in a bid to remove fat pockets from her face. "I've had some lipo under my chin and under my eyes," she said.

Sarandon also hinted that she would consider having further cosmetic work done such as Botox injections – as long as the results were subtle.

"I have these two huge frown lines here (on my forehead),” she said. “But if you can't move your face or you're unrecognisable, I don't see how that's a productive enhancement. You don't want to look like a female impersonation of yourself."

Sarandon, who found fame in films including Dead Man Walking and Thelma and Louise, told the magazine that older actresses are often overlooked for the better roles in Hollywood.

"It's true there aren't that many good parts. I've had my disappointments. It's hard to be in this business and not be an alcoholic or a drug addict or bitter as an older woman," she said.

In her latest film Jeff, Who Lives at Home, she plays a lonely mother dealing with two dysfunctional adult sons.

THE SYRINGE AND MEDICAL LASERS are replacing the scalpel for many men and women seeking to regain their youthful bloom, defy the signs of ageing or simply enhance the natural beauty they already possess.
With demand for quick, easy and convenient aesthetic procedures spiralling, men and women who might previously have paid to go under the knife are now turning to injectable treatments to deliver excellent cosmetic results – at a fraction of the cost.

Dr Dinesh Maini of zenith cosmetic clinics Nottingham and London said there had been a phenomenal rise in clients asking for Botox or dermal fillers – with good reason.

Injectables are less expensive than surgery, have little or no ‘downtime’ and offer effective, rapid cosmetic solutions which can be performed professionally yet simply and speedily.

Dr Maini explained: “For people wanting fast results with little or no recovery time then injectables are perfect. Treatments can be carried out quickly, improvements are often seen immediately and there are no telltale scars to worry about.

“Surgical procedures such as facelifts are long and complicated and recovery can be slow. They also carry the obvious risks associated with any surgical operation.

“If people aren’t ready to take those risks or they feel they do not need such drastic action then injectables can be more appealing. Opting for the needle rather than the knife is a much less invasive option but can still provide superior results with fillers such as Sculptra lasting for up to three years.”

Zenith Cosmetic Clinics offers a wide portfolio of surgical and non-surgical treatments in Nottingham and London, including laser mole removal, botox, laser hair removal and bodytite liposuction all of which are carried out by a qualified practitioner following a one to one consultation.

Lines and furrows can be smoothed and softened by Botox or fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm Ultra which can last up to 12 months and offers a smoother more natural result than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, and the revolutionary Sculptra, labelled a liquid facelift, which restores facial volume, resulting in younger, plumper, fresher looking skin.

Sculptra is fast becoming a favourite among those seeking a quick but enduring fix as it can last for up to three years, and like Juvederm, it has received approval from the respected FDA – the United States Food and Drug Administration which rubber stamps its safety and efficacy.
