Meryl Streep....Still a Leading Lady-Has Plastic Surgery Played a Role in Her Career?


Meryl Streep, 62, has come a long way from feeling like her career was washed up at 40. But did she ever get any help from plastic surgery?  Or did she arrive naturally?
She speaks very candidly in this month’s Vogue magazine that when she turned 40: “I remember turning to my husband and saying, ‘Well, what should we do? Because it’s over.’ ”
Of course, it wasn’t. The story reels off her hits, starting with “The Bridges of Madison County” and continuing through the last 5 years: “The Devil wears Prada”, “Mamma mia!”, “Julie & Julia,” and “It’s Complicated”.
And now, “The Iron Lady”  in which she plays former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.  





While Streep’s career has thrived, the widely revered actress has publicly opposed plastic surgery.
“The good thing about getting older is that when they do cast you it’s often something interesting – you’re no longer asked to be the beautiful leading lady,” she’s been quoted as saying. She’s said she’s relished tackling the roles that give actors the chance to explore idiosyncrasies.
And she’s mastered those, as we’ve seen, with nary a droopy eyelid or a frozen forehead.
Streep reportedly has denied that she ever got cosmetic surgery. But not everyone believes that she’s never benefited from it.
The beauty/plastic surgery website Make Me Heal said a couple of years ago: 
“At nearly 60, Streep has a very taut neck, no jowls, and a flawless face that is virtual free of wrinkles, and refreshed eyes. In light of these youthful characteristics, it is believed that Streep underwent a face lift, neck lift, and quite likely an eyelid surgery.
“Additionally, Streep’s wrinkle-free appearance is likely to be aided by cosmetic procedures done over the years such as laser or chemical peels and the routine dermal injections such as Botox or Restylane.
“It is believed that Meryl Streep has had subtle procedures done all along her career …We think Meryl looks stunning and she should keep doing what she's doing....it obviously works for her!
