Sofía Vergara reveals cosmetic procedures she's had done — and which ones she'd never do
View Date:2024-12-24 07:15:55
Sofía Vergara has learned to embrace the changes that come with aging — as well as the ways she can slow down the process.
In an interview with Allure published Tuesday, the "Griselda" star and producer was open about the cosmetic procedures she's undergone, as well as the ones she would do.
"I believe in all of that," Vergara, 51, replied when the subject of Laser skin resurfacing and skin peels came up. "I feel like you have to take advantage of everything that is out there. I mean, if you care about aging. Nothing wrong if you don't care about it. It's not the end of the world. But if you do, now there's so much stuff out there."
The Toty beauty brand founder continued, "I feel like I'm going to do every plastic surgery that I can do when I'm ready. I wish I had more downtime; I would've done stuff already. (But) because I'm in front of the camera, it's not like I can do something and then sit in my house recuperating for weeks."
Sofía Vergara gets Botox – but doesn't believe in filler
The Golden Globe- and Emmy-nominated "Modern Family" star and "America's Got Talent" judge was frank about the work she's had done.

"I've been doing Botox for a long time in my neck, [around] my eyes," she said. "I don’t believe in filler. I feel filler does good when you're really young and you want a little bit more cheeks or to plump your lips a little bit. At my age — 51 — I feel it's not going to make you look younger.
"It is going to make you look more done. And I feel like it actually doesn't pull you up; it kind of weighs [you down]. So I am against that, once you hit a certain age."
Vergara – who played Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on "Modern Family" for 11 seasons, from 2009 to 2020 – admitted that it can be hard to see the difference in how she looked in the early seasons versus more than a decade later.
"You can see the age," she told Allure. "I shouldn't complain because I'm 51 and I'm still healthy, and I'm very active. I still look in the mirror and I see someone beautiful. But sometimes it's like, 'Who are you?' I'm still happy with what it is. I just learn to accept it's not me. It's a new me."

Why it's crucial for celebrities to be honest about their plastic surgery
Experts have previously told USA TODAY that though there's no shame in getting plastic surgery, it's essential for celebrities to be transparent about the procedures they've undergone so as to not create unrealistic expectations.
Daniel Barrett, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, told USA TODAY in 2021, "Many celebrities look good naturally, but many also have work done. And when they're not honest about it, I think they're being unethical because they're in the spotlight.
"They're benefitting from being a celebrity and have a moral obligation to be transparent about anything they've had done that helps them achieve a certain look."
When these influential figures intentionally deceive young, impressionable fans, this can perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards and convey a dangerous message: that fuller lips or slimmer noses are naturally attainable.
But in reality, these "perfect" appearances may have been curated by dietitians, photoshop and even plastic surgeons.
"The psychological pressure to meet societal beauty standards can be difficult to manage, especially because it can leave you feeling like you're never good enough," said Naomi Torres-Mackie, head of research at the Mental Health Coalition, calling these beauty comparisons "a rigged race that's unwinnable."
She added that admitting to cosmetic work "takes a certain level of vulnerability."
"It's a brave thing to do that could potentially help others," she said.
