Beauty: a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially sight. The definition of beauty, when defined by the dictionary really gives the word “beauty” a sense of it being of an object, like a piece of art or a sculpture perhaps.

Here she actually states the effects of surgery, which tightens the skin, much like leather is pulled tightly and is hard.

Which you know if you 've ever closely looked at someone with plastic surgery. You 'll see that it looks just like what it says, plastic. No matter how young they are, they begin to age quickly and as that is happening
