Salma Hayek's Stance on Plastic Surgery and Beauty Secrets
Hayek's ageless beauty has been a topic of discussion for years, and she's no stranger to addressing the rumors and speculations that have arisen over time. Back in 2019, at the age of 52, Hayek was just as radiant as ever, with high cheekbones, enchanting brown eyes, flawless skin, and lustrous hair.
When questioned about her secrets to staying youthful, she confidently stated, "I haven't done an-y-thing." Her secret? Well, it wasn't a strict regimen of water consumption, as she casually ordered a bottle of San Pellegrino during the interview and barely touched it.

A year later, she found herself addressing speculations about Botox usage after a critic left a negative comment on her Instagram. Some followers couldn't resist suggesting that her appearance might not be entirely natural.
When one fan accused her of too much Botox, Hayek swiftly fired back, saying, "I don't have Botox," and with a touch of humor, added, "But thank you for the advice because I was thinking maybe it's time."

While Hayek isn't opposed to plastic surgery in principle, she shared a humorous anecdote about her attempt to get lip fillers. Her dermatologist friend had warned her of the intense pain, and as soon as the needle touched her lips, she exclaimed, "No! Forget it! I'm done!"
Instead of resorting to fillers or Botox, she prefers a natural approach, relying on exercise, moisturizer, self-tanners, and facials to maintain her radiant glow.

In 2021, Hayek opened up about another aspect of her journey: her changing chest size. While some wondered if she had undergone breast enhancement surgery, Hayek candidly explained that her bust size had naturally increased due to menopause.
