However, with the use of AI, one gets a glimpse into how Cox would have looked today if she had opted to age naturally. The actress underwent plastic surgery, so her appearance while aging is not the same as it would have been if she had aged without undergoing cosmetic procedures.

Cox found getting older was hard and even harder while in Hollywood. She tried to keep her younger appearance by using cosmetic surgery but ended up making things worse. The actress's emphasis on appearance came from her family, including her mother, who was gorgeous, and her father, who talked a lot about looks.

When Cox would visit doctors, they would tell her she looked great but needed fillers and injections. She moved from one doctor to another, undergoing cosmetic procedures until she felt layered. Cox didn't realize her appearance was changing until her friend told her to stop as she looked different and not in a good way.

Eventually, Cox accepted that she was getting older and decided to age naturally. She dissolved her fillers because she wasn't happy with herself and how she looked. "Thank God they're removable, but I think I've messed up. I messed up a lot, and now, luckily, I can, you know, I was able to remove most of that, and now I'm actually just older," she revealed.

The actress is now as natural as can be and feels better because she looks like herself. She has embraced wrinkles and sagging skin. Cox has also realized that fillers are not her friend because of how much they changed her actual look. She doesn't know what the future holds, but she wants to stay natural.

As she approaches her 60s, Cox looks back at how hard she put injections and stuff on her face to maintain her "Friends" era appearance, and she chuckles. She is amused by the days she used to chase youthfulness using cosmetic surgery because now she is more grounded, has embraced aging, and loves looking like herself.

Since Cox used cosmetic procedures before going natural, her aging isn't similar to that of a woman who never underwent plastic surgery. This begs the question of how the actress would have looked if she never altered her appearance from the beginning. AI gives a glimpse into a natural-aging Cox.

30-40s: In this age range, Cox would have had pronounced fine lines, especially when smiling, as per AI. The lines would have appeared as subtle creases and folds on the skin on both sides of her lips and under her eyes.

Aside from the fine lines, according to AI, Cox's face, which once glowed with vibrancy, would have gentle ripples of age. The soft cheeks would also have been replaced with a more flattened and less contoured appearance.

The thinning of the skin around the actress's eyes would have started showing, as seen in AI images. Her eyes would have lacked the sparkling glow and adopted dark circles and a more tired look that comes with natural aging.

40-50s: As per AI, Cox would have had an increased presence of fine lines and wrinkles in her 40-50s. The wrinkles are evident on her forehead, cheeks, and mouth area, unlike in reality, where she used plastic surgery to boost her skin elasticity.

The actress's eyes do not hold the vibrancy of youthfulness. According to AI, Cox's eyelids would have reduced in firmness, and the fat pads behind them would have decreased, causing their hollow appearance in this picture.

Unlike when she used fillers, AI shows that Cox's cheeks, while aging naturally, would have lost facial volume, decreased in plumpness, and the contours flattened. Her cheeks also appear drier, unlike how colorful and moisturized they looked after cosmetic procedures.

59 heading to 60: The natural rosy hue associated with a youthful face and skin has diminished with age. As per AI, Cox's skin would have lost color and vibrancy as she approached her 60s. Her bones would have also lost density, the skin would have sagged, and the wrinkles and fine lines would have appeared more visible.

Cox has now emphasized the importance of balance and moderation in plastic surgery, a procedure that clearly affected her appearance and how she aged. Today, she has become part of the women in Hollywood who are vocal about letting go of cosmetic surgery, becoming as natural as they can be, and even embracing natural aging.
