Not everyone whose face graces the big and small screens is fond of the ida of having plastic surgery.
Take a look at 13 famous women -- who just so happen to also be mothers -- who've spoken out about choosing not to go under the knife:
Kate Winslet has been quite vocal about her stance on having work done. "I will never give in," she proclaimed in 2011. "It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty."
Her children are daughter Mia, and sons Joe and Bear.
Kate's feelings are so strong on this topic she went so far as to create the British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League, a vow between herself and our next star mom to never get surgery.

Emma Thompson has spoken out against plastic surgery by stating, "It's not a normal thing to do, and the culture that we've created that says it's normal, is not normal."
She's mom to daughter Gaia and son Tindyebwa.

Salma Hayek has taken on the topic of Botox specifically, sharing, "Trust me, I’ve been tempted—but I resist!
"Think about what happens to your muscles and skin if you’re sick and don’t move for a few days. It all atrophies! Plus, if you freeze a muscle in your face, other muscles have to compensate. Once you stop, what does that look like?"
The actress is likely working to set a great example for her daughter, Valentina.

Judi Dench, who celebrated her 80th birthday in 2014, has earned the admiration of her peers for saying no plastic surgery.
Actress Kim Cattrall said once, "I look at people like Judi Dench, who's in her 70s, and I think, 'What the hell am I frightened of? In my life and career I want to embrace ageing because I think that's what's interesting. I think a forehead without any lines doesn't tell me they've lived a life."
Judi's daughter is named Tara Cressida Frances Williams, but goes by Finty.

Funny mom Tina Fey is planning on early retirement over going under the knife. She says, "Your choices are: Get old, or look creepy. I don't want to do it, so I feel I've got to get my money and get out of here before this thing [points to her face] blows. Because I feel like the years of sleep deprivation are going to catch up with me."
She's mom to daughters Alice and Penelope.

In 2010 Meryl Streep said, "To each his own. I really understand the chagrin that accompanies ageing, especially for a woman, but I think people look funny when they freeze their faces."
This Oscar-winning actress is mom to four! Her daughters are Mamie, Grace and Louisa, while her son's name is Henry.

“I just don’t know if I want to mess with that,” Diane Keaton has shared. “The point is, no matter what you do, you’re going to get older and you won’t be here forever. So how do you grapple with it? How do you feel good about yourself?”
Diane is mom to son Duke and daughter Dexter.

Jamie Lee Curtis: “I am appalled that the term we use to talk about aging is ‘anti,’” she once blogged. “Aging is human evolution in its pure form. Death, taxes and aging …. We are ALL going to age and soften and mellow and transition.”
Her children are daughter Annie and son Thomas.

Julia Roberts thinks of her children on the rare instance she's tempted to have something done.
“It was not a cute look for me,” she said after experiencing Botox's frozen-face syndrome. “My feeling is, I have three children who should know what emotion I’m feeling at the exact moment I’m feeling it.”
She's mom to daughter Hazel, and sons Phinnaeus and Henry.

Brooke Shields has flirted with having work done, but is careful not to go too far. In 2010 she explained, "I want laser treatment because I'm not a fan of my wrinkles, but I have to find someone with a light touch. I'm scared I'll end up looking like the Joker."
Her daughters are Grier and Rowan.

Sigourney Weaver believes "life should put lines on your face."
“I find that look scary,” she once said in an interview. “I like getting older. There’s nothing more inspiring to me than a woman in her 70s who’s full of life and still useful. I never notice age in people’s faces. I just look at the whole person.”
The Aliens actress is mom to a singleton, daughter Charlotte.

Julianne Moore is wary of having work done becoming too common. She is quoted as saying, “Cosmetic surgery itself starts to look normal, and we lose track of what a real face is like.”
This star is mom to son Caleb and daughter Liv.

In 2007, Jodie Foster told People magazine, "'It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose' than 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.'"
She is mom to sons Charles and Kit.

Despite a handful of stars saying no to "having a little work done," it does seem as though altering one's appearance is slowly becoming more and more readily accepted. For example, reality star Trista Sutter spoke openly about perking up with a doctor's help after breastfeeding, and a mom of three made headlines around the world earlier this year for showing off her post-baby tummy tuck.
