Justine Bateman Defends Her Decision to Age Naturally: 'My Face Represents Who I Am. I Like It'

Justine Bateman, the former actress of "Family Ties" fame, spoke out about her choice to age gracefully without the aid of cosmetic procedures. Bateman, now 57, stated that she enjoys looking her age and feels sad for those who obsess over retaining youthfulness with Botox or fillers. In a recent interview with "60 Minutes Australia," Bateman spoke of her initial shock at seeing "looks old" as an autocomplete entry when she Googled herself at 42. Instead, Bateman sees beauty in aging and believes that confidence in oneself should grow as they age, not diminish.

While Bateman has considered cosmetic procedures in the past, she realized that such procedures would erase part of who she is now as well as who she was in her youth. Bateman's message is one of self-love and acceptance, encouraging women to focus on living their lives to the fullest rather than on being consumed by fears of aging. As plastic surgery remains widely popular, Bateman's story serves as a reminder that beauty takes on different forms at different stages of life.
