Was Cher's hit "If I could turn back time?" really an ode to her plastic surgeon?

With the release of feel-good, but guilty-pleasure, musical/dancing extravaganza that is Burlesque, Cher is suddenly back on everyone's radar. Even though she doesn't get tons of screen time in the movie, her performances were wonderful. 

And her appearance...?

Unbelievable! 

Look at the picture above, and then consider: Cher is 64. (And her mother, Georgia Holt is 84!!)

64 and 84!?! Unbelievable.

Granted, Cher has the kind of "too perfect" countenance that usually is the tell-tale giveaway of someone having had work done, but overall she looks like a very well maintained 40-something... and not at all like a women in her mid sixties! 

And her mother-- to my eyes-- looks completely natural, which I know she can't be at 84 years old! She instead looks like a well-kept 50-something instead of a women in the midst of her eighties! 

But, both of their faces reveal a similar secret: Cher knows an AMAZING plastic surgeon.

Considering this is a mother and daughter duo, genetics surely also play a role in their looks, but take a look at a picture of the pair from over 20 years ago. (There is no date associated with the picture, but judging from their clothing I am estimating the picture was taken during the early 1980's.)

 Cher's mother looks almost younger now, than she did 20 years ago! Whatever they're doing, (and I'm sure it's a well-advised, carefully planned mixture of fillers, lasers, sunscreen, nips & tucks and the right skin products), it's definitely working for them. 

It almost seems ironic in retrospect that one of Cher's hit songs was titled "If I could turn back time," because in regards to her (and her mother's!) appearance, it seems that she has been able to accomplish just that.
