The Not-So-Secrets of Madonna’s ‘Refreshed’ Look
Publicist Liz Rosenberg has always said she doesn’t know anything about whether her famous client had plastic surgery. But a recent look at Madonna’s face — just spotted at various Oscar parties — shows signs something is going on. Face lift? Probably not, according to the latest polling of cosmetic specialists. Just some amazing facial treatments (lasers! crystals!) and God’s gift to wrinkles, Botox.
Was it a super duper facial?
“It looks like she had a sapphire abrasion or a vibra facial. These are procedures in which the skin is exfoliated and a serum is applied,” said Dr. Suzan Obagi, director of the University of Pittsburgh’s Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health Center.
Was it lasers?
Dr. Bruce Katz, director of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine’s Juva Skin and Laser Clinic, argued that lasers had a hand in Madonna’s fresh face.
“It’s very likely she’s had a new laser treatment called fractional resurfacing. It tightens the skin, takes away wrinkles, and tightens pores,” he said. “Her skin looks great — no sunspots, it’s supple, not tight, so it doesn’t have that pulled look, which is indicative of a facial treatment as opposed to surgery.”
Botulinum toxin?
Both Katz and Obagi agreed that whatever procedure gave Madonna her glow, she can thank Botox for her bright eyes and arched eyebrows.
“She’s had Botox, which gives her that nice, flared eyebrow,” Katz said. “In the older photo, her eyebrows are almost horizontal. In the new one, they’re arching up. That’s a tell-tale sign.”
“You can tell she’s had Botox by the arching of the brows and the smoothness between the brows,” Obagi added. “She has also had Botox of the ‘bunny lines’ — the lines that are created on the side of the nose. You can see in the more recent photos that these lines are not present even in full smile.”
Or just plain money.

Let the embalming begin…..
i wont judge her,its the society we live in,we are quick to judge people when they AGE!!like it wont happen to us all,so we criticize every wrinkle,every “flaw” and yet when anyone points out ours we get mad or we cry in a corner or try and hide it…..
..and my girl is such an inspiration,she doesnt let allot of things hold her back from doing what she wants.instead of letting the world move her she aims to run along it
Actually, it looks like she got injected with Juvederm or some other face filler. Go back to the photos taken with her new Brazilian boyfriend and you will see the change versus the photos of her from last year when she was going through her divorce.
Bottom line: Madonna is a fitness fanatic who has the cash to make herself look good in a natural manner. She doesn’t have a plastic surgery look like Joan Rivers or Cher or, to a lesser degree, Vivica Fox.
Rupert Everett could use some help. That picture of him on Queerty makes him seem angry. His face seems to droop around his mouth and eyes. Actually, he looks a bit villainous, which might work well. And, more importantly, plastic surgery can be very dangerous.
Who cares about this talentless old hag?
it’s a sperm facial. Does my face wonders.
I think she looks beautiful. But I gotta say “Who’s that girl?”
She looks nothing like that sexy but not so pretty Italian pixie who showed up in the 80s…
So much work has made her look like an entirely different person (Kate Winslet anyone?)
I heard she booybumps stem cells.
Why can’t a girl look good without some queen squealing about it?
My boyfriend looks way hotter
No, it’s definitely a face lift. I have eyes.
Besides, her brother Chris made a quip about it on the Chelsea Handler show.
Who cares? If I had the money I would be refreshing myself too! Good for her.
@The Gay:
True.
She looks good. Not weirdly tightened like J. Rivers. Natural. It’s fine. Why do people all want to hate?
I would hope she looks better than Joan, she’s at least 25 years younger.
Madonna? – who cares anymore? She’s well past her sell-by date.
I CARE!
She looks great!
I would too if I ate and exercised like her and had all that money and getting plowed by some hot young chap all the time too!
WHAT IS IT TO ANY OF YOU?????????
C’mon, like get over it already, she’s not going to go away because some of you cunts don’t like her.
Holy Christballs!
She looks great. Why is everyone so damned bitchy.
People think I’ve had stuff done. BS. All I do is consume vast quantities of water, exercise and do facial exercises. Oh yeah, and I slather my mug with grease. Add enough sleep, subtract children and husband and you’re there.
@Anonymous: I do, ‘cuz I love my St. Madge. ;-)
@The Gay: Yeah, I wish I’ll be able to look that hot at 50.
@Anonymous: You’re an idiot. Obviously you’re jealous of Madonna in some way. No one can deny that she is extremely talented. Those days are gone.
Why do so many fags have a hard-on for this bitch? I just don’t get it.
While she might look acceptable in this pics, i can only see her getting worse and worse. It’s unfortunate but true. She’s still a good singer but is still trying to be half her age. It’s great she can dance still and is still motivated and all that…
but damn woman…it doesn’t look good.
(what amuses me is if she has gotten work done she’s ignored what i find most distracting, her front teeth)
I’m totally getting shit done when I get old, so I try not to judge them now. I figure let the improve the procedures on these peeps and we’ll all be good to go in a few decades.
Oh, No!
I bet she dyes her hair, too… WHERE will it stop?
@Frank in Miami: Because they’re stupid queens w/testosterone levels so low they have to look to a marketing crone to empower them.
Perhaps her new Brazilian boyfriend is giving her facials?
Bitter much? Whatevs, beyotches….I’ll bet if you had Madge’s $$ you’d do the same damn thing. Get over yourselves.
@Darth Paul: and what sucess have u achieved in your life??????hell u even have to steal peoples name to use as “yours” lol
I will reserve judgement about the success of whatever procedures she uses. Sometimes i see photos like the one above and she looks fantastic, and other times I see pics where she looks phony and fake, but that could just be from no makeup or post workout, etc. If I ever get close enough to her to see her for real then I will decide. In the meantime, I will be positive and supportive.
A belt sander and about a quarter inch of foundation?
@Cam: hey is “cam” short for camera shy??lol,fall back!!!
