Cindy Jackson Reveals New Confidence After Cosmetic Procedure
American personality Cindy Jackson, widely known as the ‘queen of plastic surgery,’ is reportedly showcasing her arms in public for the first time in 25 years following a recent cosmetic procedure. The 70-year-old underwent surgery that involved removing fat from her upper arms and reintroducing it into her hands.
‘The Right to Bare Arms’
Jackson described the procedure as a ‘brachioplasty, or upper armlift,’ and humorously stated, ‘I now have the right to bare arms.’ She added that ‘armlifts are the new facelifts,’ highlighting a growing trend in aesthetic treatments.
The public appearance, at Kitty Fisher’s restaurant in Mayfair alongside her partner Hugo Vickers, marked her first outing since the surgery. Jackson, 74, a distinguished royal biographer, accompanied her. This outing signifies a renewed sense of comfort and confidence for Jackson.
Addressing Age Concerns
Jackson explained her motivation for the hand surgery stemmed from common remarks about hands revealing a person’s age. ‘They always say you can tell how old someone really is by looking at their hands,’ Jackson commented, identifying herself as an aesthetics and anti-ageing specialist. ‘So now they won’t be able to.’
Jackson, who was previously reported to have undergone numerous cosmetic treatments and once modeled herself after Barbie, is now publicly embracing a change that allows her to feel more at ease.
Personal Connections and Observations
Vickers shared a personal anecdote about meeting Jackson when she was a child. ‘I first met her when she was six,’ he explained. ‘She was a little girl on a tricycle. That was in 1970, when I was 18.’ He also noted his modern approach to their relationship, joking, ‘I’m a thoroughly modern man. I’ve allowed my bride to keep her maiden name for professional reasons. One has to make concessions.’
