30 years younger: how singer Cher manages to look like this at 74 years old

Singer Cher has undergone 60 plastic surgeries over the years.
Few modern stars can match Cher's popularity. She has been on stage for about 50 years and leads a very active life. And the pop diva herself does not hide the fact that plastic surgeons help her look much younger than her age. And in terms of the number of operations already performed, he is second only to Michael Jackson.

Doctors estimate that the singer Cher has undergone about 60 plastic surgeries; let’s look at how her appearance has changed every year using before and after photos.

Features of Cher's appearance in her youth

Looking at the modern Hollywood diva, it is not immediately possible to understand how old she really is. A slender figure, toned skin, delicate facial features - all this reliably hides Cher’s true age, which has already exceeded her seventies. However, in his youth the future star looked different .

Sherilyn Sarkisyan (real name of the celebrity) has been recruited since childhood because of her appearance. Her father’s Armenian genes “stood out” on her face with the characteristic shape of her nose . And in many interviews, Cher admitted that large features greatly influenced her self-esteem in her youth and did not allow her bright personality to fully reveal itself. The “gnome’s nose” that came into the camera’s lens frankly embarrassed and annoyed her at the beginning of her career.

It is therefore not surprising that after receiving her first big paycheck, Cher immediately went to a plastic surgeon to change the size and shape of this “prominent” part of her face.

The operation gave the performer the perfect European look , which her past and contemporary stage colleagues, who still do not use the services of surgeons, could not “afford”. And to the caustic questions of journalists about the advisability of such changes, she answered simply: “Look at my photos at sixteen years old. Could you walk around with a nose like that?”

Thus, rhinoplasty marked the beginning of the pop singer’s acquaintance with aesthetic interventions. And it became a significant step in a dizzying career, because now her self-confidence could open any doors. Cher herself explained her first operation as an opportunity to correct something that nature did not endow her with. That is, to become outwardly the way she always wanted to see herself.

How many operations and which ones did the celebrity have?

Most Hollywood stars try to avoid the topic of surgically changing their appearance. However, Cher does not make her operations a secret. It seems that today she herself has lost count of the interventions that allow her to look younger than her age.

New face

After having a perfect nose, Cher wanted to change the shape of her mouth. Soon she had full lips, and her eye shape became more classic. Then the singer changed the shape of her ears and chin.

But what suffered the most was the face itself. First, Cher got rid of excess fat and made her cheeks more “sunken.” Then she removed several teeth to insert implants and highlight her cheekbones. Over time, she required blepharoplasty as age-related changes to the eyelids began to appear. This was followed by circular facial skin tightening and “beauty” injections.

Perfect body

The surgeon’s hand did not miss the “construction” of Cher’s figure. In her interviews, she said that she had solved the problem of excess fat deposits forever. Therefore, we can conclude that her arsenal of interventions has been expanded with regular liposuction. Another achievement of plastic specialists was the star’s thin waist. They say that to achieve this result, Cher had to part with several ribs .

But she didn’t stop there either. Cher decided to complement her body by changing the shape of her buttocks and reducing the volume of her hips. And the seventy-year-old diva’s latest “acquisition” was a new magnificent bust, which she could not boast of even in her youth.

Of course, such changes did not go unnoticed by the tabloids. But Cher responded to caustic remarks and comments about her neckline in her usual manner: “If I suddenly want to put my breasts on my back or my face on the back of my head, that will be entirely my own business.”

However, Cher does not call for blindly following her experience and repeating a huge number of plastic interventions. Her position on this issue is this: there is no need to change anything if you are happy with everything in your appearance.

However, she herself notes that the artist is obliged to take care of his appearance. And since it is not yet possible to turn back time or drink the elixir of youth, you can turn to plastic surgeons for help. There is nothing sinful or criminal in this.

After years of talk, Courteney Cox finally revealed an open secret - the Friends star finally publicly admitted in 2021 that her entire face was injected with Botox and fillers. In a candid interview with New Beauty Magazine, Courtney said that she understands how far she has come with such procedures.

I grew up with a clear understanding that appearance is the most important thing in life. I thought this: as long as I look good, then I will feel good - this is what caused such problems.

A year ago, Cox “stopped being friends with injections”, getting rid of all (let’s try to believe it) corrective medications for her face.

Result before and after interventions

An impressive number of Cher's operations, and even at such a serious age, cannot pass without leaving a trace. Therefore, along with the artificial “retention” of beauty, one has to take into account side effects.

Cher before and after plastic surgery

Some experts believe that the Hollywood performer overdid it in the pursuit of perfection. For example, although botulinum toxin injections relieved her of wrinkles, they froze her facial expressions. This effect was also enhanced by invisible scars from tightening operations.

Therefore, in photographs, Cher's facial expression often looks unnatural. In addition, the “pumped” upper lip is too noticeable. Against the background of facial features that have changed with age, she looks too unnatural. The intervention and its contour reveal.

But otherwise, the star really looks much younger than her age . And although Cher herself says that she feels thirty-five years old, according to ordinary people, her appearance is quite consistent with 45 - 50 years old. Therefore, stopping visits to the surgeon is not yet part of her plans. Perhaps she will correct something else in her figure or face if the need arises.

It is interesting that the favor for radical changes in appearance through surgery is shared not only by the pop diva herself. Her daughter Chastity underwent gender reassignment surgery and became a man. This transformation made adjustments to the relationship between mother and child. But Cher was able to accept this fact and restored family ties. In the end, everyone spends their money as they see fit.

And here is more information about Katie Topuria before and after plastic surgery.

Fighting against time, women resort to various tricks. In Cher's case, the main battle is fought through plastic surgery. And even though the result is not always ideal, her example shows the effectiveness of this method, albeit for a short time, to delay the onset of old age. The main thing is that this does not reduce the star’s talent and does not hide her inner individuality.

4/9 Nicole Kidman

Nicole, it seems, was most often “caught” by fans for anti-aging procedures. This was evidenced by her motionless face at every appearance. The actress admitted this only in 2011: “Yes, I did Botox, but I refused these injections because I didn’t like the way my face looked after them.”

Now I am “cured” and can raise my eyebrows again!

Naomi Watts, 2010/2018
Watts takes the topic of injections to heart because “it’s hard for her to decide to get Botox injections, but it’s also hard not to do them,” the star said in 2021.

Of course, I want to look my best, but I play characters that must be age appropriate—my facial expressions must be rich. I have to learn to live in my face and tell the story of the character I play. But... I never say never.

2/9 Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz, 2013/2016
Cameron, having written two books on the topic of beauty, health and a better life, is definitely familiar with cosmetology. In 2014, Diaz revealed that she had Botox injections and they changed her face, but not for the better.

I've had [Botox] injections before, but it changed my face in such a way that I said, “No, I don't want to look like that. It would be better for me to see how my face ages than for it not to belong to me at all.”

Despite this, Diaz does not condemn those who want to rejuvenate with injections: “If after these procedures they are more confident in themselves, then it works. But I don't have a problem with that."

Cher's ex-husband Sonny (Salvatore) Bono

He met Cher in the early sixties. Sonny himself worked as an assistant to music producer Phil Spector. And it was Sonny who gave impetus to the beginning of Cher's career. She began working as a housewife for him. But having noticed her interest and talent for music, Bono, in fact, became her guide to the big stage. Beyond the working relationship, personal relationships began to develop.

Sonny and Cher got married, formed a musical duo, and hosted their own show. After five years of marriage, Cher gave birth to his daughter, and after another five, the couple divorced. In 1998, Cher's ex-husband Sonny (Salvatore) Bono died while skiing.

Career

Amber's bright appearance was noticed by agent Margot Wainwright, who worked with the DefJam record label. The company released albums and promoted artists in the R&B, Hip-Hop, and Heavy-Metal genres. The model with a European appearance and an African figure starred in the videos of performers Wayne Jenkins and Ludacris, and collaborated with the notorious female rapper Nicki Minaj. A contract with the Ford Models modeling agency brought the outrageous model a good income, and she regularly appeared in music videos. Walking with Amber Rose Rose's popularity was facilitated by her acquaintance and relationship with hip-hop artist, composer and producer Kanye West. In 2009, she starred naked with him in an advertisement for Louis Vuitton sports shoes. In Kanye's RoboCop video, the actress appeared as a Barbie doll. Also in 2009, Rose was the face of the Boadicea The Victorious perfume house and launched a line of sunglasses. A little later, she expanded her profile to accessories and clothing.

Music

Janet recorded her first song with one of her brothers in 1978. And after concluding a contract with A&M Records, Janet received disappointing news for a long time, because her second album “Dream street” did not bring popularity to the artist, and the first album “Janet Jackson” was criticized by experts.

The singer’s third album, released in 1986, received the symbolic name “Control”, because Janet recorded it herself, refusing the support of her authoritarian father. And her efforts were rewarded: “Control” sold more than 5 million copies.

Janet Jackson in her youth

In subsequent years, the singer rarely delighted fans with new hits, releasing seven albums between 1990 and 2021. It is noteworthy that Janet always preferred that her biography was not connected with her star brother. Even when giving interviews to journalists, she set a condition: Michael’s name should not be mentioned in the article. But the artist did not refuse to participate with her famous relative in his projects.

Janet and Michael Jackson - "Scream"

Thus, Michael Jackson’s “Scream” video, in which Janet participated, became the most expensive video in the history of modern music, despite the fact that it was created in 1995. Its cost was $7 million.

In 2004, during a joint performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII by Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, a funny thing happened: the singer pulled the singer by the top of her clothing. The action was planned according to the show's script; the singer had to expose the artist's bustier.

As a result, the top of Janet's costume fell off, exposing part of her bust with provocative piercings. After the performance, the performers apologized and explained that these actions were unintentional. The moment of the performance became the most requested video in the entire history of digital television (after the broadcast, the number of subscriptions to the TiVo channel increased by 35,000), and the singer herself was included in the Guinness Book of Records.

9/9 Khloe Kardashian

The “before” photos of another Kardashian-Jenner sister are a little scary - Khloe has changed her face beyond recognition. Now, perhaps, the reality TV star refuses Botox and filler injections, but they were definitely present in her life before.

Facial fillers did not work for me. I looked terrible and I think the effects are still visible even though I tried to get rid of the fillers three times.

6/9 Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley, 2010/2018
Brinkley is one of those celebrities who has absolutely no intention of aging. Naturally, this couldn’t be done without “beauty injections,” but it is important that the 80s model found a balance between natural beauty and anti-aging injections. This is why Christie looks incredible at 64 years old.

If you want to refresh your appearance, then [Botox] injections should be carried out with the light hand of an experienced doctor. But you don’t need to change your face - just a couple of wrinkles that irritate you. The main thing is that you must remain like yourself.
