Ageless Michelle Pfeiffer, 63, Shares Her One Rule About Plastic Surgery

Since 1983’s Scar­face, Michelle Pfeif­fer has caught the eye of thou­sands, and con­tin­ues to do so with her age-defy­ing looks and a career that’s showed all signs of stay­ing just as per­sis­tent. How does she stay look­ing so good even at 63 as of April 2021? Pfeif­fer laid out some of her rou­tine as well as her phi­los­o­phy on those two big words: plas­tic surgery.

It’s some­thing that many peo­ple in and out of the lime­light pur­sue or avoid to very vary­ing degrees. So, what role does plas­tic surgery play in Pfeiffer’s appear­ance? So far, none, and there are rea­sons for it that span from her skin­care rou­tine to per­son­al phi­los­o­phy. Learn more about her views – and reg­i­men – here.

On aging: keep­ing the right mind­set and rou­tine
In 2019, Oprah Dai­ly shared an inter­view with Pfeif­fer dis­cussing what it means to age – and bear proof of aging – while under the lime­light. Such indi­vid­u­als, espe­cial­ly women, face pres­sures to live up to cer­tain stan­dards and imposed norms as they get old­er. But Pfeif­fer says age has just made this bat­tle eas­i­er for her.

“The old­er I’ve got­ten, the eas­i­er it’s become,” she shared. “You reach a thresh­old where you’re fine with look­ing good for your age instead of look­ing young for your age, and I’ve crossed it. Would I like to look the way I did in my ear­ly 30s? You bet, but that’s not going to hap­pen, and I don’t feel the same pres­sure I once did to do so. It’s quite a relief, hon­est­ly.”

Michelle Pfeif­fer on plas­tic surgery and what she does instead


For the most part, Pfi­ef­fer lets cer­tain lifestyle choic­es take the place of plas­tic surgery for keep­ing up a smooth appear­ance. “In terms of make­up, I love the W3ll Peo­ple mas­cara,” Pfeif­fer revealed of her dif­fer­ing make­up stan­dards for dif­fer­ent occa­sions. “When I’m on film and, God for­bid, in high-def, I need the best-per­form­ing prod­ucts. Sad­ly, I feel like there’s still a bit of a gap between clean prod­ucts and effec­tive ones.” How­ev­er, she also relies on diet – and some choice per­fume. She feels “Eat­ing a veg­an diet — it’s just so much health­i­er — and you avoid a lot of tox­ins that could age your skin and your body.”

In terms of plas­tic surgery, Pfeif­fer says she has not par­took yet but does not rule it out. “Some­times I think about it, some­times I don’t,” she out­lined. “It real­ly depends on how well I’m lit. It depends on my make­up and all kinds of things… I’m not say­ing that I won’t have plas­tic surgery at some point. I think that it’s hard­er and hard­er the old­er you get to say nev­er. Espe­cial­ly being in the pub­lic eye. It doesn’t real­ly mat­ter, I think that if peo­ple actu­al­ly want to do some­thing here or there, who cares? If it makes them feel a lit­tle bit bet­ter about them­selves… What I object to is too much. And real­ly bad plas­tic surgery. When I think it becomes a dis­trac­tion and when peo­ple don’t look like them­selves any­more. As long as it doesn’t over­take them.”

She also stress­es, “Con­fi­dence is all about atti­tude. How often have you met a per­son who may not look like a Bar­bie or Ken doll but just has some­thing sexy and classy about them? Attrac­tive­ness has more to do with the way you feel about your­self. And the swag­ger that can come with that.”
