Courteney Cox opens up about her regret of plastic surgery
<p>Courteney Cox has opened up to <em>New Beauty</em> about Hollywood’s obsession with looking young and how it led her to make poor choices with her own body.</p>
<p>“I grew up thinking that appearance was the most important thing. That’s kind of sad because it got me in trouble. I was trying so hard to keep up, and I actually made things worse,” she explained, highlighting how doctors would commonly pressure her to nip and tuck here and there.</p>
<p>“Well, what would end up happening is that you go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there.’ So you walk out and you don’t look so bad and you think, no-one noticed — it’s good. Then somebody tells you about another doctor: ‘This person’s amazing. They do this person who looks so natural.’ You meet them and they say, ‘You should just do this.’”</p>
<p>The 53-year-old star revealed that after receiving so many outside opinions, she no longer looked like herself.</p>
<p>“The next thing you know, you’re layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh s**t, this doesn’t look right.’ And it’s worse in pictures than in real life,” Courteney said. “I have one friend who was like, ‘Whoa, no more!’ I thought, I haven’t done anything in six months. I didn’t realise.”</p>
<p>Some of her friends assured her that she looked good but eventually she had enough.</p>
<p>“I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was,” Courteney added. “I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren’t wrinkles — they’re smile lines. I’ve had to learn to embrace movement and realise that fillers are not my friend.”</p>
<p>Courteney also mentioned that she would “love” to have a child with her 40-year-old fiancé.</p>
<p>“I would love to have a baby now,” she said. “I mean, I could carry someone else’s egg.”</p>
<p>The TV star has a 13-year-old daughter named Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette who she was married to from 1999-2012.</p>
<p>“I may be one of the older people doing it, but I would love to, with Johnny that is,” she said. </p>
<p>“He’s younger than me, and with any other guy that would be the hardest thing in the world, but looks are not that important to him or his family. External beauty isn’t even on his radar.”</p>
<p>“I used to worry about the age difference, but I don’t think it matters. He appreciates beauty, but it’s deeper than that,” she said.</p>
