Susan Sarandon: Ive had some lipo under my chin and under my eyes.

Susan Sarandon is talking about plastic surgery! And she’s admitting to it! Epic. Here’s something that’s weird though: Susan admitted that she had “some lipo under my chin and under my eyes” in a new, exclusive interview with People Magazine, but People Mag didn’t lead with that admission in their online story. Not only did that refuse to lead with it – they didn’t even include it in the online edition. Other outlets are simply crediting People Magazine, in what I’m assuming is a more extensive article in the print edition. WTF? Here’s the People piece, with the quotes culled from the print edition:

If you want the truth about aging in Hollywood, ask Susan Sarandon.

“It’s true there aren’t that many good parts,” the outspoken actress, 65, says in an interview in the new issue of PEOPLE. “I’ve had my disappointments. It’s hard to be in this business and not be an alcoholic or a drug addict or bitter as an older woman.”

But, she adds, “that’s one of the things you have to make your peace with – or get out of the business because everyone has those moments. I’m not the only one.”

At an age when many actresses are relegated to granny roles, Sarandon mixes it up with such unexpected cameos as a seductive teacher on 30 Rock and Andy Samberg’s mom in Saturday Night Live’s “Motherlover” skit.

In her latest movie Jeff, Who Lives at Home, she plays an uptight mom dealing with two dysfunctional adult sons (Ed Helms and Jason Segel). Of course, she shows her sensual side, too: “It’s really more of an attitude than it is being naked,” she says.

Before she even hit 40, Sarandon was informed that her sexy days were over. “I was told by John Cassavetes when I did The Tempest never to be a mom because I would not be sensual anymore,” says the actress. Her reaction? “I think I laughed.”

Sarandon went on to have three kids: her actress daughter with Italian film director Franco Amurri, Eva Amurri, 27, and two sons with her former partner Tim Robbins, Jack, 22, and Miles, 19. And she definitely still has sizzle. “I’m happy to be considered desirable.” she says. “I love it!”

Besides, she says, “I think there’s a lot of guys who like strong women. Maybe because women have raised sons who have different expectations. I think we can take some credit for that!”

As for plastic surgery, Sarandon says, “I’ve had some lipo under my chin and under my eyes.”

And the actress says she would consider getting Botox injections as long as doctors don’t go overboard.

She adds, “I have these two huge frown lines here (on my forehead). But if you can’t move your face or you’re unrecognizable, I don’t see how that’s a productive enhancement. You don’t want to look like a female impersonation of yourself.”

Media relations aside, what do you think of Susan’s lipo admission? I’m slightly disappointed, just because I thought she was all-natural. But I like that she admits it – and says what she had done specifically. I looked through these recent photos of Susan, seeing if I could detect the work… and I can’t really. Which is a good sign. It’s not like Susan’s revelation brought a “No sh-t, Sherlock” moment for me, at least. Even though she had lipo under her eyes (probably to remove the bags, right?), I can’t tell that she messed with her eyes at all. It’s not like a Kate Winslet situation where we’re just supposed to accept that her eyes are now pulled and tweaked, and we’re supposed to think that’s “natural”. Susan doesn’t look pulled, or tweaked or jacked. Yay?
