Michelle Obama won’t rule out plastic surgery

Fast approaching the big five-o, Michelle Obama says she’s not ready for plastic surgery — but won’t rule it out in the future.

In a wide-ranging interview in People magazine, the first lady was asked what she thinks about plastic surgery and Botox.

“Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves,” she said. “Right now, I don’t imagine that I would go that route, but I’ve also learned to never say never.”

She said there are advantages to aging: She feels “a greater sense of calm and certainty and maturity and confidence” than she did when she was a young woman growing up.

The first lady, who celebrates her 50th on Friday, says she stays in shape through diet and working out.

“I don’t obsess about what I eat, but I do make sure that I’m eating vegetables and fruit,” she said. “And as everyone knows, I do exercise.”
