A leading cosmetic physician has speculated on what Martha Stewart may have done to maintain her ageless looks – and revealed exactly how you can emulate her look.
While the 82-year-old has denied having plastic surgery, Dr. Jen Armstrong suspects that she may have had a few tweaks to fight off Father Time.
Examining before and after photos of the lifestyle icon, Dr. Armstrong pointed out that her brows used to be ‘much lower’.
‘This could be from either a thread brow lift or this could be from an actual surgical brow lift,’ she said.
The aesthetics expert then wondered if Martha had undergone a rhinoplasty – but admitted that it was ‘hard to tell’ for sure.

However, Dr. Armstrong did say that she suspects Martha may have had some lip fillers to plump up her enviable pout.
She then turned her attention towards Martha’s youthful neck area.
‘I think the most shocking part, in a good way, is that in the before picture you see this jowl here and all the neck skin,’ she said while pointing to Martha’s chin and jawline.
‘In her after picture her face looks completely pulled back and snatched,’ she continued.
Dr. Armstrong then joked, ‘Let me tell you – if Botox could do this they’d be the richest company in the history of time.’
She explained that one way for ordinary people to achieve Martha’s signature look would be a thread brow lift, undereye filler, lip fillers, and a thread lift on the lower face.
‘This is not how people age with just some Botox – she’s clearly had some cosmetic work done,’ she said.

The aesthetics expert also said that the lifestyle guru’s neck is suspiciously smooth and taut
The Newport Beach-based aesthetic physician is known as one of the top injectors in Orange County and has had her work published in multiple peer-reviewed journals.
She has a large celebrity clientele, including many of her fellow Real Housewives of Orange County alums like Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson.
Her clinic focuses on ‘extremely natural results so women can achieve anti-aging without looking like they’ve had anything done’.
It comes after Martha opened up about how she maintains her youthful visage – and it involves Botox, filler, and lasers.
On The Martha Stewart Podcast in February, the craft queen spoke to her cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin.
The ageless beauty, who’s famous for her sultry selfies, opened up about working with Dr. Belkin over the last five years, and he revealed her Botox routine and favorite fillers.

Dr. Belkin is a board-certified dermatologist at New York Dermatology Group and appeared on a recent podcast episode on the topic of ‘finding your best face.’
‘Everyone is so interested when they see a selfie of me posted on the internet,’ Martha said, as she regularly goes viral after posting mirror selfies and thirst traps for her two million captivated Instagram followers.
‘So many comments are about my facelift and who did it, when did I have it done, how much retouching is on the photograph, and I just want to set the record straight,’ Martha revealed.
The star complimented Dr. Belkin’s artistry ‘because you have to be an expert, but if you can’t look at me and see that one little thing is more crooked on one side than the other side, then I don’t want to work with you.’
‘I have a very strict artistic eye, and I can see defects,’ Martha admitted.
‘I want my doctor to see the defect also. And you do. You’re one of those guys that can really see a defect and fix it,’ Martha raved.

Dr. Belkin said that what he does with Botox is ‘try to reduce downward pull on the face.’
While they tried it on her upper face, Martha said since she doesn’t have lines on her forehead it looked unnatural.
Dr. Belkin said that he does a little bit of Botox, ‘in the jawline and on the neck so that we can reduce the banding and reduce the downward pull on the face to keep those muscles a little weaker so the muscles of the cheek can pull up more.’
‘The other thing that we use on [Martha] is filler,’ Dr. Belkin admitted, although he clarified it’s ‘conservatively’ and not that often.
‘And for [Martha], I elect to use fillers that are what we call biostimulatory fillers,’ Dr. Belkin explained, adding that many times, clients come in and ask him not to over-fill them because they don’t want to look like The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

He uses Sculptra and Radiesse, which are ‘made of lactic acid and calcium’ and have ‘been shown to stimulate collagen,’ in her cheeks and on the jaw for a bit of plumpness and volume so it’s not hollow.
‘It creates volume by stimulating your own skin cells,’ Dr. Belkin said.
‘I think when you try to start looking younger, you end up looking a little bit uncanny,’ he added said.
‘I don’t think about age, but I really don’t want to look my age at all,’ Martha joked in return.
