Martha Stewart Gets Candid About Getting Cosmetic Work Done: 'I Don't Want To Look My Age At All'

The stigma of aging can cause some people to commit to preserving their youth, and cosmetic procedures are a popular choice for those who want to slow down the signs of aging.

Not everyone openly discloses their beauty secrets, however, and they're not socially obligated to do so.

Unless you're forced to cave under pressure, like Martha Stewart.

The 82-year-old former Chanel fashion model-turned-businesswoman, author, and founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia openly discussed the topic of aging and candidly admitted what's behind her relatively youthful look: Botox and fillers.

Stewart got real on the premiere episode of her second season of The Martha StewartPodcast and admitted:

"I don't want to look my age at all."

The new February 8 episode featured the media mogul's cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin, who was introduced to Stewart by her daughter, TV and radio show host Alexis.

Stewart explained to Belkin what compelled her to open up.

“Everybody is so interested when they see a selfie of me posted on the Internet," she said.

"So many comments are about my facelift and who did it and when did I have it done and how much retouching is on the photograph, and I just want to set the record straight.”

She added:

"I don't think a lot about my age but I don't want to look my age. At all."

Social media users thought there was no need to explain herself but supported her, nevertheless.

Stewart said she works hard to keep her health in check through exercise in addition to a "healthy and normal diet" instead of fad diets.

During the discussion, Dr. Belkin described the types of cosmetic treatments he performs on Stewart, which include aesthetic injections to relax the muscles in her neck and jawline and the use of facial fillers.

Stewart did admit that not every procedure yields perfect results.

“My eyebrows kind of go up in a V and that looks so unnatural," she said.

When asked whether or not she's had her skin tightened, Belkin confirmed that she had through the use of ultrasound a while back.

"We did a little softwave, which is an ultrasound-based tightening device," Belkin explained.

"And we've done a little bit of Ulthera, which is a great ultrasound based skin tightening that works."

Her podcast features deep conversations meant to inspire and intrigue with "fascinating people from all walks of life," including "business icons, entrepreneurs, artisans, old friends, and new friends."

Past guests included Shonda Rhimes, Kris Jenner, Andy Cohen, and Stewart's bestie, Snoop Dogg.
