Margaret Cho, the celebrated comedian known for her outspokenness, has recently shared details about her cosmetic procedures at age 56. In a recent Instagram Reel, Cho openly discussed the fillers, Sculptra, and Botox treatments she has undergone, offering a transparent look at her approach to aging in the public eye.
The “Filler Tour”
Cho playfully refers to her reveal as a “Filler Tour,” during which she points out the specific areas where she’s had fillers. These include her chin, cheeks, upper face, and temples. In the video, she credits Sculptra for the majority of her facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra vs. Fillers
While technically Sculptra is a filler, Cho makes a distinction between it and hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Traditional fillers provide immediate volume, whereas Sculptra stimulates collagen production over time, offering a more gradual and natural-looking result.
Botox and Potential Facelift
In addition to fillers and Sculptra, Cho mentioned having Botox injections in her neck and chin. She humorously noted that the chin injections were not particularly effective. While she hasn’t had a facelift yet, she remains open to the possibility in the future, stating, “I’ll lift whatever.”
Embracing Honesty and Normalizing Cosmetic Procedures
Cho’s candor aligns with her history of tackling sensitive topics with humor and honesty. She embraces her choices, stating, “This is what 56 looks like if you have a lot of injections, a lot of Sculptra, and a lot of time to think about this kind of stuff.” Her openness helps normalize cosmetic procedures and encourages others to make informed decisions without shame.
