Natural Beauty! Has Salma Hayek Had Plastic Surgery? Everything She’s Said About Cosmetic Procedures

Salma Hayek has not aged a day since she became a household name following her scene-stealing striptease in 1996’s From Dusk Till Dawn.  

The Mexican actress has attributed her age-defying beauty to years of mediation, telling Kelly Ripa on her podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera” she’s never had Botox. “I do a lot of the frequency machines and they work on me better than on anyone,” Salma explained in July 2023. “And just the meditation itself … sometimes when I’m doing it, people tell me when I come out of the room, ‘Oh my God, you look 20 years old.”

The Fools Rush In star later doubled down on her claims that meditation is her secret, calling it her key to staying youthful during a September 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I really believe it is. People say it’s exercising. I think it’s meditation,” she said. “You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard. It’s really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it.”

During a June 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk, Salma opened up about experiencing menopause and the effects it had on her body.  

“For some women they get smaller, but there are some women that when you gain weight, your boobs grow,” she explained. “In some cases in menopause, they grow again, and I just happen to be one of those women that it happened in every single step – when I gain weight, when I got pregnant, and when I’m in menopause. A lot of people say that I had breast augmentation. I don’t blame them. My boobs were smaller, so was the rest of my body. They have just kept growing, many, many sizes.”

“No surgical tweaks. No Botox either,” the telenovela star told InStyle in June 2010. “I think it is terrible, these girls in their late 20s injecting their faces and lips. One told me, ‘If I kill my muscles now, I’ll never get wrinkles.’ Can you imagine?”

Salma opened up to InStyle about her one and only attempt at injections as she prepared to play beauty mogul Claire Luna in the film Like a Boss. 

“My friend [dermatologist] Dr. [Maurice] Dray said, ‘I don’t know if you’re going to be happy because it’s going to hurt super bad.’ I said, ‘Well, let’s give it a try,’” she said in 2020. “He put the first needle in my mouth, and I immediately said, ‘No! Forget it! I’m done!’ So instead it became, ‘How do I make it look like I have lip injections?’ And we got these huge teeth.”
