@Oli G yes but you can’t deny the surgery she’s had is very subtle and natural lookinh

People call her plastic and Botox etc. but I genuinely feel that she has great genes, takes care of her health greatly assisted by Botox, professional makeup etc. she is in her mid 50s, but you can’t being hateful and deny she looks like really good for her age. She is talented and always followed her heart. ❤

[@boston1976]

Ppl are goofy and the interwebs is filled with a lot of sad and jealous humans. Not a big fan of hers but she is extremely attractive and takes care of herself through movement and nutrition. People always like to discredit discipline. Plus, her mother looks fabulous so no need for JLo to touch her face. Maybe facial treatments but nothing dramatic.

[@jlofans112]

Always love to see her interviews. She has such a big soul and so excites for the movie and album ❤️

She is aging gracefully. She doesn't look botoxed up - her face moves and her neck is accurate to her age. I like it so much better than a stiff face trying to stay young.

[@FirstnameLastname-nx1oh]

Probably bio stimulating facials like lasers and radio frequency which is and looks natural. She looks amazing.💖

[@claudiaovando8435]

Glad you mentioned that because if you look at on of her cheeks it looks like she had fillers on them. It is so pronounce and her face and neck I can tell you she has some work done big time. Her mother looks more natural than her.
