Marg Helgenberger Plastic Surgery

American actress Marg Helgenberger, best known for playing Catherine Willows in the CBS drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and K.C. Koloski in the ABC drama "China Beach", is rumored to have gone under the plastic surgeon's knife to turn back the hands of time.  


Helgenberger, 55, is rumored to have gotten botox injections, veneers, facelift, eyebrow lift, eyelid surgery, laser treatments and fillers to her cheeks and lips.

Many gossip columnists and celebrity watchers have accused Helgenberger of her frozen face, which is an indication (as they claim) of tons of botox combined with other surgical procedures such as a facelift, an overzealous dosage of lip collagen and eyelid surgery to make her eyes appear wide opened and wrinkle free. 

Judging by the before and after images, Helgenberger has changed a lot through the years. 

Her forehead appears super smooth and generally her face is shiny for a woman her age. Her skin seems full and tight without signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging and eye bags. There is also a fullness in her cheeks, something quite unusual (and even impossible) because the fat of cheekbones sag with age. So, there is speculation that Marg likely uses fillers or fat grafts to maintain her youthfulness.

Helgenberger's lips are full and luscious, something which is almost close to impossible for women in their fifties. Having lips like that is a common phenomenon to women in their twenties and early thirties. 

We should take into account though that diet and exercise play an important role to the tightness and brightness of the skin, but certainly not to that extent.

We have to note that there is no any scar that has been left behind, which means that the plastic surgeons who have treated the star were experienced and highly skilled in their work.

New York plastic surgeon Dr. David Shefer commented about Marg Helgenberger's plastic surgery: "Marg Helgenberger appears like she has Botox in the medial forehead and not enough laterally - this leaves her with dynamic wrinkles above her lateral brow. Additionally, in some shots, it appears that she has had facelift. Her skin looks tight and cheeks fuller with a slight disconnect with the appearance of her forehead. This is all speculation, since I don't see any incisions in the photos. However, in most shots, she has her hair covering the sides of her face."

Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell J Aston was quoted as saying: "Ms. Helgenberger is a very beautiful woman with distinctive features. I suspect that she has had some plastic surgery to maintain her looks over the years. Based on photographs I estimate she has had lip injections, a Brow lift and also a Blepharoplasty to enhance her eye contours. She also appears to have had Botox too."

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery explained: "Marg has had Botox to her forehead and frown lines in between her eyebrows. She's also managed to maintain the fullness in her cheeks, which often sag as women age. This is likely from injectibles or fat grafting. If you look closely, you'll see that she still has crow's feet, which is often a celebrity request when trying to look au naturel!"

It has to be mentioned that Marg Helgenberger has not confirmed or dismissed the plastic surgery rumors.

Conclusion: Marg Helgenberger's plastic surgery is largely successful, because she still looks beautiful, natural and youthful.
