Christie Brinkley Pics That Make Her Plastic Surgery Undeniable

Model Christie Brinkley has always been candid about her cosmetic procedures. In April 2025, the actor and author sat down with People and explained everything she has and hasn't gotten done. "I mainly do lasers," Brinkley began. "I don't try to get rid of every wrinkle." But Brinkley isn't afraid of aging, and doesn't want to look like she's fighting it too hard. "I've dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city," she went on, "I don't want to look 'done' or anything. I just did Fraxel [a skin resurfacing treatment] because I had skin cancer, and that helps get rid of pre-cancerous cells. It's mainly about health for me now."

While Brinkley's focus is on health, the work she's had done has made an impact on her face. Fillers are especially popular for plumping up lost volume due to aging and tackling fine lines. Like Brinkley, many don't want treatments to come off as obvious, so there are tips to make sure that your filler stays undetectable. For all those who don't want something as expensive and intense as a facelift, fillers can also provide facial balancing, an approach that uses fillers to create more symmetry as one ages. It's also worth noting that, should someone want to undo the work that's been done, there are different types of fillers that can and can't be dissolved. All this being said, Brinkley's minimalist approach to plastic surgery has still had a big impact on her look.

Christie Brinkley is aging to perfection. The model herself praised the culture's more sophisticated, inclusive approach to aging and beauty standards. "The most beautiful thing that's happened in our industry of beauty is the expansion of what we consider beautiful," Brinkley told People. "And it includes us 'seasoned' gals." Indeed, aging hasn't stopped Brinkley from doing anything, including modelling. 

In her 2025 memoir "Uptown Girl," Brinkley spoke about her belief that after a certain age, everything would slow down in her career. Thankfully, she was mistaken. "I totally bought into [ageist] thinking when I was younger," Brinkley wrote. "I'd say, 'Well, this is probably my last bathing suit cover I'm going to do,' as if my body had an expiration date. But everyone wants to be represented, and we shouldn't just banish people from the pages once they reach a certain age." So Brinkley, who turned 71 in February 2025, has continued to defy beauty standards, proving that she just gets better every decade.
