These women's faces are now as hollow as their souls. First it was fillers to smooth out the wrinkles, but that made everyone's face look bloated. Now they have to remove the buccal fat to undo the puffiness from the fillers they stuck in there. It's a never-ending cycle. They're all going to end up looking like Madonna. Or Cher. Or Priscilla Presley. Will their grand babies want hugs from the Crypt Keeper or will they run screaming from these monstrous nightmare women?
Vanity is one of the 7 deadly sins for a reason.
Every time I look in the mirror and I'm remotely tempted, I ask myself what message I would be sending my daughter if I began surgically interfering in my aging process. Would I want that for her? Is that a legacy I'd want to introduce to the future generations of my bloodline? It certainly wasn't handed down to me.
Is it any surprise that mothers who think nothing of injecting botulinum toxin *into their freaking faces* and getting so much filler in their lips that they look more like deranged ducks than women at all, would have children who believe they're in the wrong body and all the solutions are just a scalpel away? FTR... all of Megan Fox's kids think they're trans. I wouldn't trade places with her for anything in the world.
Stay you, Peachy. You're perfect just the way you are ❤️
I lost mine the natural way…when you hit your sixties you will very much miss your buccal fat and be horrified about what the heck is happening to your neck!
Peachy, Peachy, Peachy…a little tweak here and there can make a woman feel better but it’s best to just eat healthy foods, exercise everyday even it’s that’s only going for a walk, spend time alone and embrace aging. Your best days are ahead of you. Regardless of the mirror. Good health, energy, vitality and happiness are the only things that truly matter as we age. I just turned 66. My body may not look like it did 20, or even 10 years ago. But I’m healthy. I’m energetic. I have all my own body parts and they all function perfectly! I have lots of interests and friends. A wonderful husband. We cannot fight aging. It’s inevitable - if we’re lucky. But humor and attitude is what keeps us attractive.
Your husband is right. Keep the buccal fat and stick with natural ways to stave off old age. You look terrific, in any case. I'm sure you'll always be ready for your closeup!
My Mother and Aunt and Grandmother were a great example to me of aging. They didn't run off to the plastic surgeon. They worked with what they had at every stage of life and had a sense of humor about the changes they experienced. I've always loved Proverbs 30:31, Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised. I think because I had such great examples of graceful aging that I have never dreaded getting older. Every decade of life holds something new and interesting and women should embrace it, not dread it. Keep the face God gave you because its beautiful. Another great article. Thank you
Peachy - listen to Billy Joel sing “Just the Way You Are”. That’s how your husband clearly sees you and that is a blessing, to put it mildly. You’re the full package and we appreciate your humor, intellect and passion for all the things that matter. I avoid mirrors too, BTW.
Your buccal fat is perfect and those celebs who had it removed look instantly 20 years older. Seriously. 20. Years. Older. Look at Miley. That is not a good look. Just bc you don’t see wrinkles doesn’t mean young anymore. Suck all the fat out of your face and you will look OLDER. I know I know I’d love those contours too. But not at the expense of looking like an old(er) hag. I decided long ago my face is my face and outside of moisturizer I’m never touching what God gave me for vanity sake. It just looks like shit when you’re 75.
Fulton Sheen once said that beauty and strength come into fullness for a fleeting moment, essentially for men and women to find spouses and then they fade. I SO feel this. In my case, I feel like this moment was extra fleeting. Thanks to the low fat-no fat "science" so prevalent in the 90's, I essentially spent all my teen years in a high carb brain fog induced chubby state, with a side of an eating disorder. Once I finally discovered a low carb diet as I was preparing for my wedding, the weight melted off and my head cleared up. And, in my smallish state I wouldn't even need buccal fat removal as I have naturally high cheekbones. But then I got married and started having pregnancies and babies over the next 20 years, and I just can't quite make my apple shape behave. It's held onto about 4 extra pounds per kid, even though it's really from the last 3 plus two pregnancy losses. Of course, and thankfully, my husband likes me just as I am but I do grieve a bit for the figure I'll just never have. *Le sigh* I feel like I need a t-shirt to remind me though, "I am a middle aged Mom, how svelte do I expect myself to be?" LOL
Anywho, I'm personally looking forward to your buccal fat filled blitzkreig, having just discovered your existence and writing (thanks to a Spencer Klavan recommendation), and am with you! Wanting to engage the culture and husbosexual for life!
OMG Peachy you’re killin’ it. Buccal fat? Who knew? I laughed out loud when I read this, and at work no less. (Lesson to self: don’t read Peachy while at work). Hey if the writing thing doesn’t work out, there’s always the comedian circuit. Keep it coming lady.

Your face is very nice and requires no alterations.
The before pictures look better than the after pictures.
But I'm not a gay fashion photographer, so what do I know.

All that "fat removal" makes woman look dessicated and unhealthy. I like a lady who looks like she ate a slice of cheesecake ever so often.
😂if I removed my buccal fat, I'd look like an poor orphan waif like creature.
Congrats on your media appearances! May you rest in peace, for now. 🤪

Plastic surgery looks horrible and alien. Why advertise your insecurity?

Your buccal fat is GORGEOUS! Don't let them tell you different.
Remember when eyebrows were the enemy? now look at all the work to fill them in...
The outfit in the last picture is not for cooking! The sleeves, the ring, no apron. I’m irritated now.
