Joy Behar Denies Getting a Facelift But Admits She’s Had Work Done: ‘Anyone Can Have High Cheekbones’

Joy Behar revealed she has never gotten a facelift — but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t taken steps to make herself look younger.

The View host, 83, spoke exclusively with People about the work she’s had done over the years, specifically shutting down rumors that her high cheekbones are the result of any kind of surgery. Instead, she admitted they’re a specific kind of injection.

“Basically, I just get Botox and filler,” she told the outlet.

The stand-up comedian credits her specific regimen, as well as good genes passed down to her, for people often mistaking her for a much younger woman.

“I happen to have good skin,” she explained. “I inherited that from my mother. I don’t really have a lot of wrinkles. And I’m lucky that I have a lot of hair. I do have a lot of hair; I never lost it.”

“You just have to get Restylane for that. Anybody can have high cheekbones. Because it’s fat or collagen or whatever the hell they put in there. It’s not really bones,” she said. “The filler is actually way better than the Botox. The Botox, I don’t know what that does. It freezes lines on your forehead, I guess.”

Since the TV personality is willing to do certain things to achieve a youthful look, one may wonder why she draws the line at plastic surgery. It turns out, some second-hand experiences in the 1980s are to blame for scaring her off the concept to this day.

“I have one friend who got a facelift when she was 30, and she wanted to be prettier,” Behar explained. “I never heard of such a thing at the time. But remember the work in the ’80s, you looked so strange. But I knew a lot of women who were addicted to plastic surgery.”
