Comments on: Courteney Cox cops to Botox

I think it’s easy to look at photos of celebs like Courteney and think, wow! She’s 44 and she hardly has any wrinkles! But you forget how much DOESN’T show up in pictures. I’m in my late 30s and, sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I can’t believe the size of the bags under my eyes or the crow’s feet around the edges. But then my husband will take a photo and my wrinkles hardly show up at all! (It’s all very ego-boosting… until I look in the mirror again.) What I’m trying to say is, Cox probably looks older in real life than she does in photos. Don’t forget, she’s wearing a lot of make-up that’s been professionally applied, and the lighting for any red carpet event is going to be set up to flatter the celebs having their photos taken. Doesn’t mean she hasn’t had plastic surgery — just means she’s being photographed in a rather ideal situation.

Having said all of that, I’m sure she doesn’t look as “old” as your average 44 year old who doesn’t have access to regular spa facials and expensive skin-care products. There’s also that trifling matter of the relatively easy life Cox and every other successful actress leads compared to the average woman. Most of us work a 9-5 job, take only two to three weeks’ vacation a year, and don’t have a housekeeper or nanny to help with the routine domestic chores. Celebs are going to look younger just by virtue of the fact that they don’t have as much to do as the rest of us, and have a lot more time to relax!!!

Girlfriend’s 44 and hardly has a single line on her entire face and is trying to tell us she ONCE tried Botox a WHILE BACK and didn’t LIKE IT?

Girl. Please. Stop.

Also, the hair color is looking harsh.

@ Mrs. Favre- never had anything (though I have an aunt who has, she married a rich guy) and I think if you just tell your doc you want ‘more surface’ to the lip they’ll get it. It basically means you want to widen it a little without the trout look.
They have a procedure to do exactly that the name escapes me though.

Sadly yes- the lips thin as we all age. Sucks. A reason they tell women to avoid the dark lipstick as they get older it makes the lips look even thinner.

Angelina has plenty to spare though.

With cosmetic procedures – surgical or otherwise – the truth is always: time will tell.

They can only deny it for so long but they can’t do it when only parts of their face start sagging and others stay remarkably waxwork-like.

We’ll see, is what I say. Repeated procedures will be obvious in a few years, just check out Faye Dunaway, Mickey Rourke, and Meg Ryan now – and compare them to how they used to look 15-20 years ago.

Is it really accurate to call Botox ‘plastic surgery’? You don’t get cut into, or put asleep….I’m not sure what to call it. Vanity innoculations? Hmmm. I do love CC’s dark hair and great cheekbones. I think she looks fabulous whatever she does—but maybe that’s just in photos. I’ve never seen her in real life.

Has anyone here had lip fillers that actually look good? As I’ve aged my upper lip is almost nonexistent. I would like get something done but don’t want fish lips

At 44, in Hollywood where you live and die by your looks, how could she NOT have it. I’m 42, decent looking, but every now and then I look at my face, wondering…

I’m in a profession (consulting) where a little maturity is ok, but not too much. I think I would skip botox (too temporary thus a waste of $$) and go for a minor lift instead.

RAN- she has definitely done the filler- notice for a woman her age she would have more pronounced nasolabial folds and she has barely any trace… she probably gets a restylane or a hyaluronic (sic?) filler there.

I agree G- she would age just fine. She has good bone structure and that always helps.

As w/botox women who go nuts with the filler also look a little strange.

Wasn’t there a story in the Enquirer cover CB has up the other day- people keep saying she has marriage problems. I wonder if they’re on the way to splitsville.
