Christie Brinkley, 71, breaks her silence on the cosmetic procedures she has undergone

She’s gotten fans wondering about her anti-aging secrets thanks to her stunning complexion. 

Now Christie Brinkley, 71, is lifting the lid on the cosmetic procedures she’s had done to help maintain her youthful appearance. 

In an interview with People, Brinkley, 71, admitted she has tried fillers, lasers, but her main priority now is her health.

‘I mainly do lasers,’ she said. ‘I don’t try to get rid of every wrinkle.’

‘I’ve dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city,’ she continued. ‘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,’ Brinkley, who revealed last year she was diagnosed with skin cancer, said.

Brinkley, who is releasing her memoir Uptown Girl on April 29, has previously said her goal isn’t to eradicate all of her lines.

But in 2023 a filter-free selfie she posted received unkind remarks, prompting her to hit out against the ‘Wrinkle Brigade.’

‘Whoa Nelly ! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread! They are the people that scan celebrities pages, hoping to find some cellulite , wrinkles , or anything that they can point to to to critique. 

‘It must be somd (sic) form of compensation for some thing they are lacking. But when those people appear, there are others who pop up with messages so kind and valuable. 

‘Those are the comments that restore my faith and make my heart sing! Thank you sweet souls. PS I don’t have hair on my chest obviously( I thought!) I phone has a tendency to create weird things in thd shadow. But so what if I did? Havd a great day My Friends !’ 

Brinkley has generally embraced a more natural approach to aging in recent years.  

She previously told People she wanted her face to show ‘a little’ of the life she’s had. 

‘I want to accept certain wrinkles. That’s the way I’m approaching aging,’ she told the outlet last year. 

‘Sometimes when people get older, and they overdo it, they can look waxy and — I don’t know what the word is — preserved or something. I want a little life to show on my face, you know?’

She’s also tried Botox however had mixed results on her first try: ‘I’ve Botoxed my forehead two times. It did look smooth as could be but the first time it gave me a droopy eyebrow.’

While Christie once got injectables on a more frequent basis to ‘fix’ her concerns, she now goes in just once a year to tame lines around her mouth.

‘I’m kind of more comfortable just letting it be,’ she said. 

That same year Brinkley got real with fans about the dilemma of dying grey hair. 

‘Grey sky! Gray hair! The second you see gray hair it raises the question , just like when you cut bangs ..to keep or not to keep?’ she posted to Instagram. 

‘Thank goodness both are just a personal preference or a fun change of pace. My son thinks it looks cool, but I think I may want to wait till it’s more like the silver whitecaps than the grey wave itself! The verdict is still out ! Happy Sunday.’
