Dana Delany Botched Botox Job

Dana Delaney former star of China Beach turned "Desperate Housewife" recently came clean in an interview with Prevention magazine about not only her recently botched botox job but also her eating disorders from her younger days.

This is the headline that could have any number of celebrities attached to it with the ever popular Botox procedure. As we grow older, we often wish we could recapture the youth from our twenties, it is a natural thought. But...is putting something as potentially dangerous as Botox really the answer?

There are other options but some of those can be much more costly and are not realistic for the average person. For instance cosmetic surgery to soften those fine age lines, lift the eyes or cheeks, all with the possibility of giving that younger appearance. For celebrities like Dana Delany these options could all be a reality. What happened to growing older gracefully? Taking care of ourselves, eating right and a good exercise routine can really do wonders.

Well, Dana Delany is very candid in her interview, revealing how her life had not been without its faults and how she felt after her botched Botox procedure.

Dana Delany revealed in her interview that while in her early twenty's, she was on the brink of anorexia. Often binge eating and then going to eating as little as an apple and a piece of toast in a day, she was extremely unhealthy.

It was not until her days on China Beach that she got her life together, working, feeling good about herself, and changing her eating habits to become healthier. This was in her 30's and the now 54 year old Dana Delany is a stunningly beautiful woman who claims she is her own worst critic. This is probably the reason she went along with her dermatologists recommendations for Botox. The procedure went about as wrong as it could go, hitting a nerve with the first injection, leaving behind a huge hemotoma, a dead nerve and then later resulting in a droopy eye.

So again we have to question, are we willing to risk going for our youthful look to end up with a Botched Botox procedure that we are stuck with? Or will we look at what happens to even celebrities like Dana Delany and grow older gracefully and with our own natural flaws?
