Comments on Debbie Harry’s Facelift as Band Plays at Glastonbury

Debbie Harry has made no secret of her previous plastic surgery procedures, but that did not stop her from banning close-up shots at her latest gig at Glastonbury. The Blondie bombshell prohibited photographers from parking in the pits during her performance before wowing crowds with her renditions of Blondie classics like “Call Me” and “Heart of Glass.”

For those considering a facelift in NYC, celebrities like Harry often provide the living example and incentive to go through with the cosmetic procedure.

Harry’s facelift done for “business reasons”

According to a 2009 report at the Daily Mail, Harry admitted to having a facelift procedure a number of years prior “for business reasons.” The then 63-year-old told the publication, “Yeah, I had a facelift years ago. Why not? It gives you all the things you need to be part of the action. I don’t feel like hiding myself away.”

Harry’s willingness to indulge in plastic surgery may be part of the reason the singer is still going strong today. Although she banned photographers from getting too close at Glastonbury, recent photos of the singer show she is far from ready for retirement. With the same blonde locks and catlike features she was flaunting 40 years ago, Harry shows she still has what it take to rock the stage.

“You photograph better,” Harry told the Daily Mail when explaining her decision to have cosmetic surgery. “Looks are a key part of being an entertainer, so I felt it was something I had to do. All sorts of horrific things happen in life – why make it worse by worrying about getting older?”

Considering a facelift in NYC

Harry, who had her original facelift more than 20 years ago, is living proof that choosing the right procedure and surgeon can provide years of benefit down the road. Although Harry is showing moderate signs of aging, at nearly 70, the singer is still relatively line free and boasts a youthful facial profile to complement her slim figure. Patients that are considering a similar procedure will do well to understand exactly what a facelift can (and can’t) do and how to choose the procedure and surgeon for the best possible results.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts, tightens and smooths the face from the cheeks to the jawline. The incision is typically placed around the temple and ear, although incisions variations may be recommended depending on the specific needs and desired outcome of the individual patient. Through the incisions, muscles are repositioned, skin is tightened and excess skin is removed. The procedure is commonly performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and sedation.

Results of a facelift are evident after healing takes place, which may take up to 4-6 weeks. Skin will appear smoother and firmer, and there will be fewer visible fine lines and facial creases. Results from a facelift can last for many years, particularly if you properly care for your skin after the procedure.
