Dolly part in the iconic country music legend has captivated audiences around the world for decades with her soul stirring voice magnetic stage presence and Timeless Beauty at the age of 77 she continues to defy the sands of time recently making headlines with her astonishing appearance performing dressed as a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys halftime show her iconic look with her towering blonde hair flashy outfits and bold makeup will always make Dolly who she is Dolly has always dared to be different and that might be one of the reasons we all love her so much she has claimed to hate exercise love food and she also gets excited by drugstore makeup today we will explore what Dolly Parton's Secrets the Aging so well are and what work the Superstar may or may not have gotten done over the years Dolly Parton's Story begins in rural Tennessee where she was born in 1946 and emerged as a musical prodigy with a voice that echoed the the sounds of the Smoky Mountains as she ascended to stardom in the late 1960s dol's radiant personality and striking features set her apart despite her humble beginnings her career skyrocketed and she soon became a symbol of unapologetic self-expression and authenticity on top of her many awards and successes Dolly's also known for her eclectic look and Persona and in an interview she once answered a question about how exactly this came to be the question was who does Dolly Parton look like and the queen of country first responded with a laugh and sing a clown who does Dolly Parton look like well a clown well on a more serious note Dolly explained she modeled her look after who they dubbed the town in her hometown back in the day she said this woman that used to walk the streets had all this makeup and hair high heel shoes I thought she was so beautiful and everybody used to say oh she ain't nothing but trash and I used to say well that's what I'm going to be when I grow up trash and that's kind of how I look but I like to think I'm a little more than that over the years Dolly has been pretty candid about her experiences with cosmetic procedures openly admitting to enhancements that have contributed to her polished and glamorous appearance Dolly isn't shy to talk about work she's had done and over the years the country Legend has had a number of surgeries to enhance her looks Dolly has had a breast augmentation breast implants a brow lift eyelid surgery a nose job and her chin operated on not to mention she's had her face rejuvenated multiple times but according to her doctor never a full face lift a brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure which improves the look of the forehead brow area and area around the Eyes by lifting the soft tissue here and skin off the forehead and brow these results the results last up to 10 years and the average cost of one of these surgeries would be nearly $10,000 according to her surgeon Dr John Grossman he said about Dolly she's had her her face rejuvenated on a number of occasions but not a full face lift so it appears that aside from the brow lift and an eye lift surgery dolly opts for injections to keep her youthful appearance in the face which would be Botox and similar options not to mention bigger procedures she's had like a rhinoplasty or nose job and a chin operation would have changed the look of her face as well so yes as the years went on Dolly was more than happy to get cosmetic surgery here and there but she never lost her dramatic cheekbones bright eyes or signature charming smile and she's had those from the very start her surgeon also said about Dolly's breast augmentation she has a generous bosom which I augmented some years ago her cup size was apparently increased with implants to a 40 DD and apparently she even insured her breasts for about $350,000 each nicknaming them West Virginia and East Virginia unfortunately fortunately dolly was forced to undergo breast reduction surgery in 2004 after having crippling back and shoulder pains as well as her cosmetic work Dolly will enhance her looks by adding a full face of makeup including a lot of blush and bold lipstick she also loves rocking long fake nails in bright colors in 2019 Dolly said it is true that I look artificial but I believe that I'm totally real my look is really based on a country girl's idea of Glam I wasn't natur Al pretty so I make the most of anything I've got either way we got to admit the legendary singer looks amazing for her age with her blonde hair full lips and defined eyebrows another one of Dolly's not so secret Secrets is that she keeps her makeup on through the night she said in an interview I do all my beauty work and cleaning my face in the morning because I usually try to keep my makeup on at night I never know if there's going to be an earthquake or a tornado and a storm and I'm going to have to go out in the middle of the night I don't like to go home and just tear down completely because my poor husband has to look at me and in the morning when I get up I start all over again put on my makeup and then touch it up through the day not to mention Dolly's far from a makeup snob she loves Maybelline makeup and she also said she uses Max Factor's panstick makeup in much of her grown-up years for night out she likes to add more eyes Shadow more glitter and a redder or brighter lipstick another part of dol's exaggerated look is definitely her famous wigs while her hair is usually full of volume and bleach blonde in color they're always wigs when she's out in public she has said in the past while her natural hair is blonde it wouldn't style the way she wanted it she said back in 2016 why not just wear wigs that way I never have a bad hair day I have a big hair day but not a bad hair day this way Dolly has a hairstyle she wants all the time at home the country icon doesn't wear wigs but she says she keeps her own hair the same bleach blonde color and a little longer than shoulder length sometimes tying it up in a crunchy aside from wigs another thing Dolly doesn't wear at home is sweatpants the singer said about when she wants to be comfortable I have my own little house clothes like a little dress type Teddy a long Teddy and I have a little jacket or shirt to match if I get cold I call them my baby clothes because they're soft like a baby but I don't wear sweat clothes sounds just like something Dolly would say but I don't know if I could get on board with that I love my sweatpants with or without plastic surgery not all of us might reach aging as well well as the iconic
