The criticism went further, as one netizen even speculated about her cosmetic choices, "My gosh, can she just let herself age gracefully?? She must go to the same plastic surgeon that Courteney Cox goes to."

The netizen's assumption echoed a March 2024 sighting of Aniston with Sandra Bullock and Jason Bateman's wife, Amanda Anka. The trio was seen leaving a well-known plastic surgery office in Connecticut.
The facility reportedly specializes in upper and lower facelifts, with procedures costing between $50,000 and $100,000, while brow and eye lifts are priced around $30,000 each.
Amid criticism of Aniston's appearance on "Kimmel," some fans came to her defense."She's so cool great facial expressions! Those who bemoan her looks it's called impermanence which is universal [sic]," retorted one fan.
Another added, "She seems like she's in a good place and she looks amazing." Other fans were equally enthusiastic, with one gushing, "She's still so beautiful I always liked her so much 🥰," and another declaring, "Jennifer is a treasure. She ages like fine wine."

Aniston has previously addressed aging and the pressures that come with it. In a 2023 Vogue interview, she expressed frustration over society's obsession with age.
"That's a habit of society that we have these markers like, 'Well, you're at that stage, so for your age… ' I don't even understand what it means. I'm in better shape than I was in my 20s. I feel better in mind, body, and spirit. It's all 100 percent better," she explained.

She also opened up about her skincare routines, including the unconventional ones. Aniston revealed in a Wall Street Journal interview that she once tried a salmon-sperm facial—a treatment suggested by her aesthetician—admitting she's open to trying almost anything to maintain youthful skin.

Aniston confirmed getting the treatment during her interview with Kimmel, describing it as a procedure similar to microneedling, a common skincare technique that uses tiny needles to rejuvenate the skin.
As debates continue to swirl online, one thing remains clear: Aniston consistently captures attention and admiration, whether for her iconic career or her looks.
In another public appearance, Aniston also sparked a flurry of reactions when she attended the 2024 Emmy Awards on September 15, wearing a strapless dress.
