Christina Aguilera has a new fan-filled photo shoot, which could be an important reminder about the age of beauty we have found.
The 44-year-old pop star recently posed for Carsy magazine, and her photo sparked comments from people who have thought about how she was open about cosmetic treatments in the past.
“She’s still in her 20s,” wrote one X user. “I need to know if I’m her doctor PLS,” another wrote. Another appeared to coincide with a new term for Aguilera and other celebrities.
Aguilera is not the only celebrity to receive compliments and speculation about her youthful appearance. Lindsay Lohan, 38, urged posts and comments on how youthful she looks after the release of Netflix Christmas Rom-Com’s “Our Little Secret” late last year.
If you stopped and wondered if there seemed to be more celebrities who didn’t look like they were aged, but also didn’t carry any obvious signs of fillers or other cosmetic surgery – you’re not alone.
“The fact that people are making faces next year will blow you away as we enter an era where we are in an undetectable state,” said Dr. Prem Tripati, a facial plastic surgeon, in an August video, which earned an astounding 6.2 million views. He continues to define this era as “the time of aesthetics that we all wanted and waited, where the steps people have made on their faces are irrelevant.”
So are we really in a new, brave and ‘undetectable’ world? Well, it’s not accurate. The dermatologist says we have actually been here for a while – the only difference is that now normal people who don’t know the world of celebrity plastic surgery.
“It’s not undetectable. It’s modest,” Dr. Anthony Rossi, a dermatologist and surgeon who hosts the podcast, previously told USA Today. “It’s very minimal, but there’s improvement. So it’s not this top, face-to-face, big cheeks, frozen face. It’s really subtle. It’s really great, refined. I love it.
Have you changed the way you view plastic surgery in an “undetectable era”?
Dermatologists say they hope that “an undetectable age” will bring much needed changes in how people view plastic surgery.
When people come in seeking cosmetic treatment, people tend to fall into one of two camps. Those who want the appearance as natural as possible are those who want dramatic and noticeable changes as if they weren’t doing their job at all.
People in the latter category tend to pursue plastic surgery for the wrong reasons. Sometimes there are body dismorphia and other mental health issues. That’s because they see plastic surgery as a status symbol. For those people, it is often the point that they appear to be doing expensive jobs.
Dermatologist Dr. Brooke Jeffy previously told USA Today that he hopes that an undetectable era will inspire people to take a more natural, subtle approach to cosmetic regimens, not just treatments.
“There was a time when people wanted an almost constant look,” she said. “Like the status symbol, it was a kind of symbol. If you saw a particular way people knew they could afford these things, I think now people want a more natural look.”
She wants people to know that beauty that cannot be detected by going under a knife is not achieved. It also includes living a healthy lifestyle.
“We’re also seeing more focus on that by realizing that you can’t do things in your face,” Jeffy said. “It’s about taking care of your whole body. It’s important to what kind of fuel you’re putting in. If you’re smoking, if you’re drinking alcohol, that’s important. So I think it means that it means that we generally take a step in the right direction for the way we should take care of our bodies.”
In the “undetectable era,” sincerity is even more important
One of the major issues is transparency. Mental health professionals agree that celebrities provide great service to their fans when they are honest about the work they have done. It helps fans maintain healthy and realistic beauty standards.
However, in times of undetectable detection, transparency can be reduced.
It is also important to remind us that there are many things we don’t know when it comes to celebrities’ looks.
“It may establish an unattainable ideal, and I think the more we get used to who we are, the less it becomes an issue,” psychotherapist Stephanie Salkis previously told USA Today. “When we feel okay about ourselves, we tend not to compare ourselves to others.”
According to Rossi, there are no plastic surgery — undetectable or not — can enhance your self-worth. It comes from you.
“I’m really trying to tell people, you need to love yourself,” he said. “The work of cosmetics is amazing. It’s great. I love it. …I do it for the patient, but it never fully fulfills your self-image issues. It comes from within.”
