Melanie Griffith shared her regrets about her plastic surgery in a 2017 issue of Porter magazine, saying she didn't realize how much she had changed until other people spoke about it. "No, I didn't [realize] until people started saying, 'Oh my god, what has she done?!' I was so hurt," Griffith said (via E! News). "I went to a different doctor, and he started dissolving all of this s**t that this other woman doctor had put in. Hopefully, I look more normal now."

The negative feedback about her plastic surgery lasted several years, as Griffith told Us Weekly in 2012 that people were being cruel about her altered look. "Most people are telling me I look horrible. The tweets I get are really nasty."

Griffith believes that the pressure put on women to stay young is a problem in Hollywood and within the culture at large. During a Larry King Live appearance in 2002, she touched on the ridiculous standards and said her contract with Revlon highlighted them. When she was only 34, she was switched to the "age-defying line." Griffith said (via Closer Weekly.): "I was extremely flattered [about the line], [but] I mean, it's age-defying at 34? Shouldn't age-defying be at, like, 50 or 60?"

These days, it seems like Griffith is focusing fitness and health instead of unachievable beauty standards, telling US Weekly that she "work[s] out a lot." She added, "I have a trainer that I [work with] four times a week, and I do hot yoga."
