At 61, actress Demi Moore looks as youthful as she did at 30, but a leading plastic surgeon suggests this isn’t just the result of her “incredible natural bone structure.”
The Hollywood actress rose to fame in St Elmo’s Fire in 1985, starred in the smash hit Ghost in 1990 and Charlie’s Angles in 2003.
Now, the A-list actress plays a youth-obsessed character in her new sci-fi blockbuster, The Substance.
But what cosmetic operations are hidden behind her anti-aging face?
Here, MailOnline explores some of the possibilities, from subtle facelifts to lifting procedures and even laser therapies.
Demi, pictured in 1993 (left), has long been known for maintaining an incredibly youthful appearance, having been in the spotlight since the early 90s. Demi, pictured here in January 2021 (right), is also rumoured to have had the sagging skin removed from her knees.
The Hollywood actress is rumoured to have undergone £250,000 worth of surgeries, including breast implants and nose straightening, according to widespread reports circulating in the early 2000s.
But she dismissed such reports as mere speculation, insisting in 2007 that she had “never” undergone any cosmetic surgery.
Experts, however, disagree.
Plastic surgeon Dr Mark Solomos, from Channel 4’s 10 Years Younger, told Hello! magazine he believes she started having surgery when she was young and maintained her youthful appearance with minor interventions.
Praising her “incredible bone structure”, he suggests she may have undergone a lip lift, a youth-enhancing procedure that reduces the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip.
This also softens some of the wrinkles between the nose and upper lip that appear as the face ages.
He also said it was possible she had undergone a face and neck lift or laser resurfacing surgery, a popular anti-aging treatment that works by destroying the top layer of skin, allowing fresh, young skin cells to grow underneath.

Demi, pictured in January 2021 in Paris (left) and in 1996 (right), has long been known for maintaining an incredibly youthful appearance, having been in the spotlight since the early 90s.
Her youthful appearance could also be due to anti-wrinkle injections like Botox around the eyes, Dr. Solomos said, which relaxes the muscles in the face to soften lines and wrinkles.
He suggests she may also have had an eyelid lift, which is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the eyelids to change the shape and eliminate any sagging.
Dr Solomos suggests the actress has “overdone” her cheeks, saying they look “a little too big” for her proportions, either due to fillers or fat transfer to make them look fuller.
Few actresses understand the demand to look “perfect” like Demi Moore.
The Substance opens in theaters on September 20. The film centers on Elisabeth Sparkle, the star of a popular aerobics show who has enjoyed Decades of success.
But the icon faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday when her boss fires her.
In the midst of her anguish, a laboratory offers her a substance that promises to transform her into an improved version of herself.
Speaking to Interview magazine for its September issue, she said she was “moved” by the script.
She said: “It’s a unique way to explore this question of ageing, of social conditioning, of what I also see as the pressure of the idealised woman by the man that we, as women, have adopted.”
