Since earlier this week when Uma Thurman stepped foot on the red carpet, rumors have been circulating the media questioning if she had plastic surgery. Her minimal eye make up and smooth forehead looked significantly different from her last appearance just a few weeks earlier.

44-year-old actress, Uma Thurman made a guest appearance on "Today" just a couple days later, where she claimed the magic was in the makeup, not plastic surgery. Although anyone that saw Uma Thurman that night could be sure she had some type of cosmetic surgery on her face, she says her make up artist just tried a new technique. She denied all accusations made towards her having any plastic surgery.

"I know I looked weird," said Thurman. "I don’t know, I guess nobody liked my makeup"

She claims all the criticism she received from media didn’t bother her at all. But even if she did undergo some type of plastic surgery, should she be ashamed of it? Most definitely not.

Over the last decade, plastic surgery has become increasingly popular and less frowned upon. A a brow or eye lift may have been just the thing Uma Thurman needed to give her a boost in her career. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep a fresh, young, and confident look.

Statistics show that many women reaching their early forties seek plastic surgery, the brow lift being on of the most popular. This simple procedure has the ability to reduce creases on the forehead creating a smoother, more rejuvenated look. Lifting the eyebrows just a little can make great improvements in the facial features of an individual.

So how does this procedure work? This minimal outpatient procedure consists of an incision made on the scalp from ear to ear. The incision lies behind the hairline, making the scar easily hidden after recovery. The small incisions make the recovery process fairly quick. Patients are typically back to work just seven days post-operation.

The minimal scarring and fast recovery make this rumor about Uma Thurman quite possible, but we may never know. Plastic surgery seems to be quite popular lately and although celebrities may not want to admit to or undergo these cosmetic procedures, one simple procedure may have the ability to drastically improve one’s looks, while boosting their confidence.

Although the media may have their speculations about Uma Thurman undergoing surgery, there is no proving right or wrong. Maybe the magic is in the makeup!
