Sara_R: Kellie?
Kellie: Yeah?
Sara_R: How do you feel about plastic surgery?
Kellie: Well, when I was younger, I was really against it. I thought it was a really bad idea. But now that I’m getting older, and I have more wrinkles, now I’m kind of considering it for the future.
Sara_R: I feel the same way. When I was younger, I wouldn’t imagine getting plastic surgery. But now that I have some crow’s feet, and I’m feeling like I’m past my prime, I’ve definitely thought about plastic surgery.
Kellie: I think you can go too far with it, to where it looks unnatural. But if I ever got anything done it would be something super small, so that it would hopefully look natural.
Sara_R: Yes, it’s scary to see pictures of actresses who are unrecognizable with all the surgery they’ve had.
Kellie: If you get too much on your face, you won’t even see your facial expressions much anymore, which is a little crazy.
Sara_R: Not good.
Kellie: I don’t know how much it costs. I haven’t gone that far into looking into it.
Sara_R: Oh, highway robbery.
Kellie: Oh, no!
