Top 5 Celebrities Who Look Great Over Age 45

Expert Plastic Surgeon Weighs In on Top Celebrity Instagram Photos:

There are celebrities who seem to get better with age and maintain their
looks while others seem to be at war with aging. From lip injections and
fillers that make faces look oddly distorted; to full face lifts that lead
to slanted eyes and an expressionless appearance, we can’t help to notice
when celebrities get it so wrong. In a sea of over-the-top plastic surgery,
there are many celebrities who may have had a procedure or four, but
managed to preserve the integrity of their faces. Dr. Kirk Brandow, founder
and director of the Brandow Clinic for Cosmetic Surgery in Philadelphia;
who has appeared on national programs such as Good Morning America and
20/20, shared his list of the top 5 celebrities who look great over age 45
and explains why.

The best part, these images are from the Instagram accounts of these
gorgeous ladies so the photos are current and in many cases, unretouched.
Let’s begin.

1. Salma Hayek, age 50. *

Latin women with olive complexions age very
well and Salma certainly fits into this category. She was gorgeous at 30
and she’s stunning still. “She looks incredible. She doesn’t appear to have
had anything done. Amazing!” says Dr. Brandow. “For women looking to
achieve this look there are simple things such as Botox to the forehead to
prevent eyes from falling and to keep eyebrows in their natural position,”
he adds. “You want to maintain your natural features and knowing the right
moisturizer, make-up, plus sticking to a healthy diet, helps to maintain a
youthful glow from the inside out. To achieve a look like Salma’s, most
women would have to go the route of a mini face lift in their 40’s which
offers a more natural look for 6-10 years without the distortion of
excessive fillers,” he adds.

*2. Kris Jenner, age 61.*

While the Power “Momager” admits to having cosmetic procedures, she’s
transformed herself into an elegant, age appropriate grandmother. Kris
Jenner is on record saying she’s had a facelift, uses fillers yet, her look
is sophisticated and not at all scary. “She looks great at 61. Her skin is
radiant, her face has expression, there’s great symmetry and her features
are soft. She is an excellent example of someone who has embraced surgery
to improve her eyelids with blepharoplasty, her face with a facelift, and
fillers in a very conservative fashion to get a nice, natural, ageless
look.” explains Dr. Brandow.

*3. Cindy Crawford, age 51. *

Cindy Crawford’s look is iconic. She knows
this and makes sure she keeps things as authentic as possible. “With Cindy,
it’s all about those classic eyebrows and lips. Both have been beautifully
maintained. Her eyebrows aren’t freakishly high. They look the same as they
did in the 90’s. Her lips aren’t any different either. A lot of women over
inject their lips distorting their shape and lose their uniqueness. The
idea is to preserve, not change,” suggests Dr. Brandow. “Again, women often
go too far with fillers leading to a puffy look when they can achieve a
more natural look with a mini facelift which lessens the need for the
fillers making the mini facelift a more cost-effective option over time,”
he adds.

*4. Jennifer Lopez, age 47. *

Jennifer Lopez is another Latina who looks at
father time and gives him a wink. Her body is amazing and you can tell she
has a healthy lifestyle. “I have patients in their 30’s saying they hope
they look like J-Lo when they reach their late 40’s which is why they are
getting procedures now. Jennifer Lopez is truly the hardest working woman
in show biz who looks like she sleeps full 8 hours every night a very
important part of the anti-aging regimen,” Dr. Brandow advises. It is
possible that she does minimal things such as Botox or fillers, but in a
very conservative way.”

*5. Jennifer Anniston, age 48. *

When you see re-runs of the hit 90’s TV
show Friend’s, you can easily compare a 26-year-old Anniston in her role as
Rachel Greene, to how she looks two decades later. You immediately can see
how Jennifer Anniston has aged with grace. “She is another laid-back
celebrity who ages with elegance. Her body is toned and strong and her face
looks fresh and natural. As women age they lose volume in their lips. So,
it is important to keep lip injections subtle and factor the overall shape
of the mouth,” advises Dr. Brandow.
