The Curious Case of Madonna Buttons Revealed?

Filed under: Madonna > Beauty Buzz

It takes a lot of work to make a 50 year old face look 30!

ABC News convened a panel of cosmetology experts to get to the bottom of how Madonna looked so fresh and zesty at Sunday's Oscar parties.

Based on Madge's red, raw appearance two days before Oscar night (above left), a doctor from the University of Pittsburgh's Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health Center is convinced that she had a diamond or sapphire abrasion facial.

Apparently, with sapphire (or diamond) abrasion, a tool coated with the jewel's crystals aggressively rubs the skin, removing remnants of dead cells.

The Pitt doctor said, "Usually patients will leave the office looking red and shiny because a layer of skin has been removed. It doesn't look like anything more aggressive — she wouldn't have been healed and able to put on makeup by the next day."

A doctor from Mt. Sinai reckons that she's had a new laser treatment called fractional resurfacing: "It tightens the skin, takes away wrinkles, and tightens pores. Her skin looks great — no sunspots, it's supple, not tight, so it doesn't have that pulled look, which is indicative of a facial treatment as opposed to surgery."

But, both the Pitt and Mt. Sinai doctor agree that Madge's bright eyes and arched eyebrows are all compliments of… Botox!

"She's had Botox, which gives her that nice, flared eyebrow," said the expert from Mt. Sinai.

All that work sounds exhausting - and kinda painful. But, hey, it's worth it!

    2. 2

      Bitch just grow old gracefully! Oh wait, bitch IS old.



    3. 3

      The better to impress the love-of-her-life Sean Penn…who is now, "Oscar-winner" Sean Penn. Like she wasn't thinking about him when she was undergoing her treatments.

      Does anyone else here think she looks 50ish?

      There are too many wrinkles around her mouth and eyes to look that much younger. She should have used Botox to straighten those out.

      And her neck gives away her age as well.

      Tough love, honey; Aging is a messy business!



    5. 5

      EEEEEEW!! THIS BITCH SUCKS



    6. 6

      Eh, she's still not attractive. Never has been, never will be. Might as well save her money.



    7. 7

      this is ridiculous.
      the woman is trying to look young. SO WHAT?



    8. 8

      That's kinda weird. She should give it up and just age gracefully.



    9. 9

      Jeeezzzz!



    10. 10


      omfg!

      ABC "News" had nothing better to talk about?

      leave the lady alone!

      who gives a shit of she's had some work done - she has earned it!

      ABC "News" = looooooooosers!



    11. 11

      That's kinda weird. She should just give it up and age gracefully.



    12. 12

      Madonna is so beautiful. I am 20 and I am amazed at her gorgeous face and look at her body! Incredible. She works hard for it though I mean really haters need to step aside and guess what you'll look like when ur 50 lmaooo



    13. 13

      MADONNA IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR "GRANNY PORN!"



    14. 14

      madonna is old and gross.. quite frankly i am not impressed by anything that she does and i think its time for her to slip out of the limelight and take care of that baby she just HAD to adopt.. how does her kabbalah leader feel about all of this work andher slutty costumes? stop trying to be young andjust deal with the fact that youre actually going to age.



    15. 15

      LOL obviously she's tucked that gizzard back up as well.



    16. 16

      All that but she forgot to wax her face!



    17. 17

      She still looks 55-60'ish, but a little fresher



    18. 18

      She's fuckin hot!



    19. 19

      Dude she needs to do something about the HUGE Ass Vein on her forehead..Ekk cover that shit up…you think she would notice that first!



    20. 20

      It's called aging gracefully. It's people like you that make girls become anorexic, bulemic, and die from plastic surgery. Not worth it.



    21. 21

      Madonna looks great as usual and as usual middle america can't handle it. Warden the only cancer to society is trash like you,and wishing that it ravages your whole trailer park family ,but mainly you. That would be sweet.



    22. 22

      I mean who has that pretty a face and toned body at 50? i can't even think of any other woman who has ever looked that good at that age…when cher was 50 she looked like a fuckin wreck!



    23. 23

      If I looked at her picture on the right I would honestly say she was like 35



    24. 24

      She' s in denial. I thought she was supposed to be all spritual—she is spending her money trying to look younger than she actually IS and she is dating someone old enough to be her kid-one day these treatments won't work anymore and she will suddenly look old and/or weird. She should just let go and grow into her age naturally. Go to any supermarket and look at the older women- they are not frightening to look at- it's just Hollywood that makes it so :)



    25. 25

      she is so pretty and ahead of her time. no wonder stupid americans don't like her couse they are jelous and fat!



    26. 26

      Re: The Warden – LOL sweet austin powers reference!
      *
      Re: hard_candy – your eyes must be as bad as grammadonnas. most 50 year olds look better because they aren't as fucking veiny. they also look better because they understand the concept of clothing and the fact that no one wants to see their stanky geriatric cooters.
      *
      will this bitch PLEASE, for the love god, check in to a nursing home already!!! maybe she can find some man-candy to change her Depends for her



    27. 27

      It is so not fair when 50-somethings look better than I do.

    28. sushi says – reply to this


      28

      Now if the Dr.'s could work on her steroidal veins.



    29. 29

      Definitely worth the pain. I'm not a big fan of hers but dayuum this bitch is gorgeous!



    30. 30

      She's totally a fag hag. Used to be relevant.



    31. 31

      All you bitches are morons. Don't you think everyone else in Hollywood gets some cosmetic help…Michell Pfeiffer, Sophia Loren, everyone. But does anyone make a case out of it? Nope. Only when it's Madonna, then it's an issue. Looking good is part of their job so all you stupid, jealous fugs should just shut up. Madonna has always taken good care of herself even during her days as a struggling dancer in New York. She eats right, exercises, stays out of the sun and yes had had some cosmetic help and she looks fabulous for any age. All you women out there should thank her for making 50 the new 30.



    32. 32

      Madonna is starting to look freaky like Joan Rivers!

    33. aj says – reply to this


      33

      Madge could shoot liquid diamond into her ratty old veins and she still comes across pathetic and sad.



    34. 34

      Ha ha, the diamond facial plus help from the world's best cosmetic surgeons. Please Perez, what do you take us for, it's bloody obvious. What another 10 years, she is going to be a very sorry woman, unable to look at her freakish face in the mirror. I pity her really, ageing happens to all of us!



    35. 35

      The "before" has her with an 8 hour shadow.



    36. 36

      so very, very desperate.



    37. 37

      must be nice!



    38. 38

      BOTOX



    39. 39

      and a few days later she will look 60-hey mario(look how I spell Hey-NOT Hay) HOW IS THIS EXHAUSTING? does she have to mine the sapphires herself, sharpen them and then did the abrasion herself or in the case of the other doctor, make the laser and do the treatment herself? come on, she is given pain killers, sat in a comfy chair and asked every few minutes-Ms Ciccone-are you alright? do you want anything? pleassssseeeeeeee



    40. 40

      I disagree..

      Any type of abrasion or abrasive proceedure would've removed all the excessive facial hair (which she has lots of). Has anyone seen the original group of the pic on the left? The ones on Suferficial & TMZ..show her face to be newborn hairy!
      Maybe that's the thing..her stay young secret if a facial creme made from the cells of placenta (would explain the excessive downy hair newborns are born with - appearance).

    41. luzia says – reply to this


      41

      wow! all of you… facial dermoabrasion is not a cosmetic surgery or anything….. is everywhere!! im 25 and i do it all the time… its just like a facial scrub, but using a diamond machine instead…. and its not even that expensive (like something only maddona can afford) its just 40 dlls… it takes away two layers of skin so if you have, say , a wedding you look great. whats the big deal????

    42. luzia says – reply to this


      42

      oh yeah…. and it doesnt hurt at all…..so blah… whatever everybody is doing it…so why wouldnt she?



    43. 43

      wOW I BET SHE CAN HEAR REAL GOOD… LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HER EARS?



    44. 44

      She had procedure done that is called PEARL FRACTIONAL by Cutera. Yes, its a fractional laser, but a new one that is different than the other ones the market. The doctor she see for all skin matters is Dr. Brandt, who has a clinic in Miami, and NY. He is the Botox king!!! He also has his own skin product line.



    45. 45

      Damn she is obsessed! Everyone gets old, EVERYONE. I can't believe she has no confidence in something so trivial.



    46. 46

      botox …yep and lots



    47. 47

      I mean she is a pop star…in fact the QUEEN of Pop…part of a pop stars job is to look attractive and sexy…its working. If Madonna looked disgusting old fat wrinkled hairy people would have a problem…and people still have a problem when her face is wrinkle free and beautiful with a body to die for…I mean can she ever win with u guys? lol



    48. 48

      Okay, Madge…. it's time to except the fact that YOU'RE OLD! ACCEPT it and DEAL with IT!



    49. 49

      A lot of Jealousy in here!



    50. 50

      so sad that someone that rich and influential completely WASTES it on superficial, ridiculous things like this.

      How pathetic. She's still gonna die, just like every single other person out there. Get over it, age gracefully.

      She's obviously a very insecure lady.



    51. 51

      wow whatever it is she's done she looks freaking good for her age seriously she is stunning.

      What's funny is that no matter what people say about her she looks better then most 20 year old chicks out there with a fat body and ugly face shit she looks better then Britney who is half her age.

      Love her or hate her she looks mighty good to be almost 51!



    52. 52

      Re: knowitall
      Uh..you tried your tired middle America theory in another post about Madonna; it didn't work then, either. It was middle America and white trash that made Madonna what she is today. She always appealed to the lowest common denominator. Anyone with an amount of intelligence can see right through her bullshit..and yours, as well.



    53. 53

      ewww wtf ?? are those jowels ?



    54. 54

      Re: All_about_Madonna_Fan!
      Right…she looks good for 50, and she just looks that way naturally, and no amount of money she's ever spent had anything to do with it. Delusional, are we?



    55. 55

      This whore is obsesses with youth…told you so, adulators! She only wishes she was young again. Ha-ha!



    56. 56

      Re: DanielDax – #58. Well said!!!



    57. 57

      Re: hard_candy – #23. You are starting to sound 'retarded!' Why does Cher come into this equation, retard?



    58. 58

      I love how much effort some people put into hating/bashing Madonna LOL cause that just shows how relevant she still is! It would be a consern if people weren't talking about her at all.

      SO LOVE HER OR HATE HER SHE IS MADONNA THE ULTIMATE AND KEEP TALKING ABOUT HER THAT IS WHAT HAS KEPT HER CAREER AT THE TOP FOR OVER 26 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!



    59. 59

      Re: All_about_Madonna_Fan!
      People talk about Paula Abdul, Maria Carey, Lily Allen, Beyonce, etc. That's what us common folk do…talk about celebrities. That's what they're there for.



    60. 60

      Re: All_about_Madonna_Fan! – #66. You are her drug, i.e., source of narcissistic supply. Ha-ha! She could give a rat's ass about you, dumb ass!



    61. 61

      You can CLEARLY see a zig zag scar covered in makeup next to her eyebrow near her hairline - LOOK at the picture for christs sake. She does not have flared eyebrows because of Botox, she has already had en entire brow lift.



    62. 62

      must be nice to have entirely too much money to even know what to do with



    63. 63

      Ok Seektruth and Stars101…do you guys seriously wait every up every day for a Madonna post to spew you're ageist and sexist bs? lol



    64. 64

      Re: stars101 – #72 I noticed that there is not only an obsession with vulgar Vadge but with the age 20. Why 20?…silly sycophantic fool!



    65. 65

      Re: hard_candy – #73 Now seriously, do you post the same bullshit about vulgar Vadge: she works her ass off, she earned it, she needs respect. WTF, puta!



    66. 66

      I LOVE MADONNA

      SHES SO HOT



    68. 68

      Re: lalaland2 – #32. Coincidentally, the two other women you speak of genuinely have talent and are not bogus like vulgar Vadge! Can you see Sophia Loren or Michelle Pfeiffer spreading their legs to get noticed back in their day or even now? They don't have to! They are both very classy! A good movie to see Sophia Loren in is 'Man of la Mancha' and Michelle Pfeiffer in 'Dangerous Minds.' Both 'actresses' are superb!



    69. 69

      Re: SeekTruth – Only you are old enough to remember that lol. Honestly I think you are one of those parents who dissaproved of Madonna since the early eighties. I'm guessing you are probably 20 - 30 years older than Madge just based on the way you write. Why are you on Perezhilton anyway? This site is meant for young girls and young gay guys lmao!



    70. 70

      Re: stars101 – Madonna is the most succesful female artist who ever lived. If she is just known for "coochie flashing" why isn't every stripper also as succesful as Madge. To discredit her chart and touring success is foolish. Just deal with it. Madonna is the most succesful female artist of all time. Whether you like it or not.



    71. 71

      Seriously some of you are really sad cases like yeah Madonna cares what you loosers have to say about her, yet you spend 24/7 bashing her with so much passion and you don't even know her that's like so LAME!

      You must live really empty lives to have to go and attack celebs in such a passionate way. Celebs like Madonna who have actually done something with their lives, who have made an impact and not just post on blogs hiding thier insecurities.

      PLEASE do something with your lives besides spreading hate cause it's totally depressing to see such energy wasted.



    72. 72

      Re: hard_candy – #79. I am well-versed in film and music and you are quite limited in it ’cause you are too busy adoring this whore!



    73. 73

      Re: All_about_Madonna_Fan! – #81. Read my comments on other celebrities/entertainers even on this page for I do not bash them all. I will honestly say which ones are great and which ones are completely bogus. I wouldn't be the first either to dissect who is good and who isn't!

      You make me laugh because you make the assumption that some of us are empty…you don't even know us…this is a blog for opinions and silly entertainment, goofball.



    74. 74

      Re: hard_candy – #79. For the record: Sophia Loren is not in my time but talk about natural beauty and acting ability! Just like you believe bogus vulgar Vadge is whatever, I believe Sophia Loren had a gorgeous face and hourglass shape and could act in her day. Ask men and women…they'll tell you. But, don't mock them when they tell you the 'truth.' And, don't assume I am older than bogus vulgar Vadge just because I take the time to dial in on film and music, pendeja.



    75. 75

      I think she needs help. She's trying way too hard to be young again. She can't accept her age. At all.



    76. 76

      DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER AND EVER!!



    77. 77

      eww.. she should act her age .. :/



    78. 78

      Of course she's had cosmetic dermatology work done. She's been a long time patient of Dr. Fredrick Brandt who has offices in Coral Gables, FL and NYC. He specializes in cosmetic dermatology: Botox, FRAXEL laser, Radiesse, etc… Look him up online.



    79. 79

    85. 85

      Listen ppl, first of all…. 50 might sound old to you youngsters, but it really isnt. I hated turning 50 but I felt better, looked better and had more confidence at that age than when I was younger. If you dont agree with me today, you will when youre 50. Dont be so fast to think 50 is old and gross.

    92. 92

      Re: LOVE M – #105 The number one criteria for vulgar Vadge to go for you is not your sexual preference…narcissists don't care about that, but if you can boost her career even farther than it already is. Therefore, you don't have a chance, silly fool!



    93. 93

      Re: stars101 – #107. Okay, he's gay and delusional. Ha-ha!

      What's up with hard candy and claiming to be 20 over and over like a freakin' broken record?

      Even after getting sanded at Pep Boys, that new face does NOT look 30. Grammy Madge was only able to go the parties, not the actual ceremony. Jesus forgot to bring his signed permission slip.



    95. 95

      psh. whateverr i wanna be this hot at her age.



    96. 96

      Madonna is seriously gorgoeous. What is the deal with everyone on this site are you people blinded by jealousy and envy? People talk about her being irrelevant and how Sophia Loren is 72 and looks great…bla blah blah. Sophia Loren could look this good if she stayed out of the sun. Seriously, she looked like a dinosaur at the oscars. Everyone is just jealous of Miss Cicconi becasue they know they'll never look this good at fifty. I probably won't either. But if you worked your ass off for 25 years and EARNED the money to hire the best people to keep you looking great wouldn't you too? MY GOd people, just get over your jealously, she looks stunning and really, you jealous bitches should be thanking her for making 50 look fab. Thats everyone for still getting offended by Madonna, it shows she's stiull doing her job jealous bitches.



    97. 97

      Re: stars101 – I seriously want to see a pic of you. Your such a sad patheic coward. Your probably just a fat old american bitch who has nothing better to do than bash Madonna. you my friend are PATHETIC! Look the definition up on your desktop dictionary…fits you to the T. Also look up ENVY, JEALOUSY and HATE, for all those world fit the impression I get from all your sweet comments. Madonna doesn't care about you or your opinion. GET A LIFE! Beacuse you obviously don't have one. lol.



    98. 98

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – #111 Another limited one due to adulation interfering.



    99. 99

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – #111 My point was to look at Sophia Loren in film when she was younger, not now, moron. As an ACTRESS, she was superb and a NATURAL BEAUTY poised with much CLASS. My point was to point out how I am not envious as I will state who was/is gorgeous as was Ms. Loren. Look at Marilyn Monroe, too! Today Angie is a beauty but she can't compete with the past icons when it comes to acting. Who cares if their time was the 60's…they are legends!!! You are a mere adulator and Vadge is a narcissist. I am simply a blogger.



    100. 100

      nasty… she is becoming a man!
      what happened to our pop icons???
      M. Jackson became white
      Madonna is a man now…
      wonder what's in the future for the princess and prince of pop??? a.k.a.
      Justin and Britney???
