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

iPaid · 03/02/2016 14:39

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

She was beautiful to start off with as well.

iPaid · 03/02/2016 14:48

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.

sleepyhead · 03/02/2016 15:14

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.

MissAlabamaWhitman · 03/02/2016 19:40

God only knows.....

I wish I knew. I'm thirty years her junior and she beats the shit out of me Confused

MardyGrave · 03/02/2016 20:04

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.

Tate15 · 03/02/2016 21:00

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.

niminypiminy · 03/02/2016 21:04

She's got a picture in her attic, obvs.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 03/02/2016 22:31

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

MrsNoraCharles · 03/02/2016 22:34

She looks fab.

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

Destinysdaughter · 04/02/2016 00:28

Raquel Welsh looks amazing too and she's in her 70s!

Destinysdaughter · 04/02/2016 00:30

Here she is

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.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 04/02/2016 09:49

SNORT at as if she hasn't had any surgery. She looks like The Joker.

WhataRacquet · 04/02/2016 09:58

I think I will look more like John Mellencamp in those photos by the time I'm 62 Hmm

iPaid · 04/02/2016 09:58

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.

MitzyLeFrouf · 04/02/2016 10:04

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.

Birdsgottafly · 04/02/2016 10:08

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.

Birdsgottafly · 04/02/2016 10:10

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.

LizzieMacQueen · 04/02/2016 10:30

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

A smile is the most natural face lift after all.

Eliza22 · 04/02/2016 10:43

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

I hate her Grin

Eliza22 · 04/02/2016 10:45

Just tried it
