Jennifer Lopez Keeps an Open Mind to Plastic Surgery  10/4/05

Superstar Jennifer Lopez accepts she may one day have plastic surgery, now she's getting older.

While many of her celebrity counterparts have spoken out against those who go under the knife to maintain their looks, Lopez, 36, has opted to take a more neutral stance, as she's unsure how she'll feel about surgery in years to come.

She says, "If people want to get enhancements here and there and little shots or whatever... I don't do it, but I don't want to judge because I don't know how I'll feel when I'm 40 or 50 and if that is something I would do.

"I know that getting older is tough; I don't want to judge because I'm not there yet. But anything in excess is not good, and I guess that would be my position on it. If somebody is cutting up their face and their body over and over again, it's got to be something inside that they're not dealing with, so obviously deal with that first before you go under the knife."

She adds, "I think about getting older, constantly. I'm in my mid-30s now, so you start thinking, 'God, wow, I'm going to get there soon. This is crazy.'

"I feel youthful, I have a youthful spirit, and I do youthful things. But it's there in your mind. It's something people don't talk about much; they just endure it. We should talk about those things more instead of letting people go through it all by themselves. It's a process."
