Then

Demi Moore, 47, recently denied ever having plastic surgery. The actress’s beautiful skin and radiant features make her look at least 10 years younger than her true age. But is this really just good genetics and lifestyle, or have surgeons leant a hand? Elevate asked facial plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Rival to share his expert opinion. What do you think?

Now

Compared to the photo above, taken 12 years ago, one can see the natural aging process has occurred. She has lost some volume in her face.

Her nasolabial folds, or smile lines, are more defined. It’s possible that she has had non-invasive treatments, such as Botox or fillers, to soften the lines and grooves around her mouth and eyes.

Her youthful glow may be attributed to facial skin rejuvenation with lasers or other resurfacing modalities that help maintain a naturallooking radiance of the skin.

Her cheeks have started to descend, and she has a more prominent groove under her lower eyelids, known as the tear trough.

Dr. Rival’s Verdict:

“I think her look is very natural and consistent with the normal aging process. In my opinion, she shows no signs of having had facial plastic surgery. If she did in fact have surgery, it was certainly done in a conservative way to produce natural-looking results—which is the goal of any good facial plastic surgeon.”
