Martha Stewart told 'People' that she hasn't had plastic surgery like a facelift, but did share that she had reconstructive plastic surgery for a split lip about a decade ago.
Martha Stewart has never been shy about dispelling plastic surgery rumors, and she's shutting them down yet again… with some caveats. In a new interview with People, the iconic entrepreneur credits her glowing skin to a healthy lifestyle and quality skin care, but she acknowledges that people have been curious about whether she's undergone any plastic surgery.
'Everybody insists that I've had plastic surgery and I have not ever had plastic surgery,' she told the magazine. “I'm the most honest person on earth—but if they won't take my word for it, I don't know. How can they not take my word for it? That's the truth!” Stewart denies she's gone under the knife for cosmetic purposes, but she did admit that she has seen a plastic surgeon before—for a reconstructive procedure, she says. According to the entrepreneur, the incident happened about 10 years ago; she was on her way to the Today show around 11 p.m. during a blizzard and was going to kiss one of her dogs goodbye before she left. “I put my head down to one of my French bulldogs and I frightened her and she bolted up,” Stewart shared. The dog didn't bite her, but instead “bashed” her lip into her tooth and split it “almost all the way to my nose.” Instead of heading to the Today set, she went to the surgeon's office. 'I get to the hospital and I think they did 16 stitches in my lip,' she told People. Stewart added that she doesn't consider this plastic surgery in the traditional sense, but rather a “repair.” The procedure was a success, as Stewart says you “cannot see” any evidence of the incident. “I healed so well. That is the extent of a plastic surgeon working on my face,' she said. 'That is the only time I've ever had a plastic surgeon touch my face.” This isn't by far the first time Stewart has commented on her aesthetic practices. Back in 2024, Stewart had her dermatologist, Dan Belkin, MD, on her podcast and the two shared a comprehensive overview of what the star says she's had done: some strategic Botox and fillers, lasers, and skin-tightening treatments like Sofwave. She's also said she's not a huge fan of facial Botox, but doesn't mind it on the lower face and neck. Whether or not you take these celebrity confessions at face value, there's no denying Stewart looks great—and we'll have whatever she says she's having when we're 84 years old!
