Lauren Sánchez , 55 , and five other women, including popstar Katy Perry , 40 , are set to take off from Blue Origin's Texas spaceport Monday at 9:30am ET in a historic all-female spaceflight on board the New Shepard rocket.

The crew will spend only three minutes in zero gravity, but the short stay in a low-pressure environment has left doctors wondering how her plastic surgery and cosmetic tweaks might be affected.

Dr Stanton Gerson , who researches the impact of deep space on cells, said: 'The rocket launch I would have more concern about in the launch. You go at about 6,000 mph and that can cause something to shift'.

There are certain physiological changes that do take place when anyone goes into space - and they may actually be beneficial for plastic surgery patients.

In the case of facelifts, these procedures counter the gravity-driven sagging that comes with age.

In microgravity, however, less sagging occurs in microgravity.

Meanwhile, the lack of gravity during spaceflight could make breast implants shift slightly and appear more spherical.
