TeeBeeDee CEO, Robin Wolaner, Reveals the Truth About Eyelifts in More Magazine

TeeBeeDee CEO, Robin Wolaner, Reveals the Truth About Eyelifts in More Magazine

Robin Wolaner's five-part diary of her eyelift, originally published on TeeBeedee, a Boomer Social Network, is featured in the February issue of More Magazine.

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) February 19, 2009 -- Robin Wolaner, CEO and founder of TeeBeeDee (www.tbd.com), a social network for adults 40+, candidly talks about her decision to have an eyelift -- with before, during and after photos -- in the February issue of More Magazine. Wolaner's eyelift story, originally published on TBD as a five-part diary, set off a series of honest discussions and debate about aging, beauty and cosmetic surgery on the site. And it caught the attention of an editor at More Magazine, who is a TBD member. (Click here for the original story: http://www.tbd.com/content/discussion/1242226)

Responses to the diary from TBD members were overwhelmingly positive:

"Thanks for the most candid approach to cosmetic surgery I have ever read. I sit in front of the mirror at the hairdresser's and pull the skin back to my ears and wonder how I would look without the pouches under my eyes. Your surgery snapshots, however, have added 10 years to any tentative timeline I might have had in my head about having any procedure done..."

"Thanks so much for sharing this very personal experience in such an eloquent and helpful way.

I've thought many times about the eyelift procedure and only budget prevents me. If the opportunity should present itself I will certainly consider all you've shared in this superb piece."

"I continue to be amazed and inspired by your ability to say so clearly what lots of people are feeling. There is so much misinformation out there about procedures like yours which makes these 5 pieces even more of a gift. I think it is also important for successful, powerful women to speak frankly about the desire to have such surgery. This is the only way we will weed out the cranks and the crackpot procedures."

Robin Wolaner updates her story, one year after her surgery, in this month's More Magazine. Asked if she regrets sharing her experience in such full color? She says, "The reaction from TBD members might have been overwhelmingly positive, but my teenage son thought I looked like a 'freak.' I just carry the magazine with me to business meetings to show that there is nothing I won't do to make TBD a success. I'm still waiting for Oprah to call."
