How does she look so good when so many other celebs who also indulge in plastic surgery have faces resembling a melted welly?

Face lift. Dental veneers. Good make-up. Hair pieces/extensions.

She was beautiful to start off with as well.

And 62 is hardly ancient.

Exactly, Mitzy.

It's as if she hasn't had any surgery, is 20 and has been living in sunny California on a juice diet all her life.

I know 62 isn't ancient, Ipaid.

But she looks way better than any other famous 62 year old, who also have the time/money/surgeons to look incredible.

With enough £££ we can all look something similar... She has 'good genes:' as they say, if she didn't she wouldn't be a model in the first place.

The wide toothy smile & hairstyle are both very good for making her look "youthful".

Actually, one of my mum's friends who's a bit older than CB looks very similar except she's got grey hair cut into a "sensible" style and isn't as well dressed. Friend's face is beautiful and pretty unlined though and she's got great teeth.

Mum's friend hasn't (as far as I know) had work done, so I guess a lot of it is down to lucky genes, not smoking and being hot on sunscreen.

I think of humans like other animals, domestic tabby cats aren't the same creature as jungle tigers.

Supermodels like her aren't the same beast as you and I.

Facelift, eyelift, botox, veneers, fillers, laser resurfacing, you name it, she's had it, but she has had it done very well.

Also, she is very good looking naturally, doesn't have financial worry or stress, and most importantly is positive, and a happy personality.

She's got a lovely round face that's held up a lot better than long thin faces would and fillers galore

She looks fab.

But that's one bloody awful pair of jeans she's wearing further down the page.

I have a friend, in her 50's, who can afford laser and other non surgical treatments, her face is unlined.

She also got laser Lipo, for 'middle aged spread' and around her knees.

She had her teeth done.

She now spends around 4K a year to look unlined, she has her, neck, chest and forearms lasered.

I think the key is not having invasive stuff done, before you're 60 and don't go for 'duck lips' etc accept some of the changes.

The stars that look 'melted', had work done before the new laser/thread treatments and went to far, too young.

Can you provide a link to this miraculous laser treatment then I can forward it to Courtney Cox? Surely women like her would have used it rather than wreck their beautiful faces like CC has done.

I agree Birds. I think having lip enhancements is where so many people mess up on their quest to rejuvenate themselves. Especially when they have their top lip plumped. It just looks so obviously fake. Christie Brinkley seems to have kept her natural thin-ish lips and looks the better for it.

Courtney Cox has done what many do, still try to look in their 20's.

She got hers done in 2013, probably bits done earlier.

There's new Laser technology available, every year, it's worked for the women at my gym, on C Section tummys.

My friend looks unlined, but she hasn't had fat injected etc, as CC did, that's why the 'melted' look happens.

As said, she accepts that her lips are thinning, her face is changing shape etc.

CC said herself that she "couldn't cope with being in her 50's", you've got to accept some parts of aging and not be sold 'miracle' treatments.

I'm possibly going to get a thread lift. A new 'type' came in last year.

I'm waiting to see if 12 months + haven given those that have had it done any strange results.

It's tough for them, I agree, luckily no-ones taking my photo, daily.

It helps that she's smiling in all those photos.

A smile is the most natural face lift after all.

Well, at 53, I could smile from now till Christmas and I'd not look like that.

I hate her Grin
