LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jocelyn Wildenstein, the 84-year-old socialite often called 'Catwoman' because of her feline appearance, has strongly refuted allegations that she has undergone plastic surgery.

Despite her Wikipedia page mentioning her "extensive cosmetic surgery" and her well-documented transformation over the years, Wildenstein insists she has never had any procedures. 

Jocelyn Wildenstein denies getting plastic surgery, shares fears Botox 

In a recent interview with The Sun, Jocelyn Wildenstein stated, "I haven't had plastic surgery."

The socialite, known for her marriage to billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein and their highly publicized divorce, emphasized her fear of surgery and the potential risks involved.

"I’m scared of what can happen when you go under the knife," she said. She also revealed that she is not a fan of Botox, having tried it only twice. “Everyone has a different reaction to it,” she explained. “I don’t know if I am allergic, but when I had it, it did not go well with me. It was not a good result. My face swelled up.”

Wildenstein went on to clarify that she has never used fillers, noting that some of her friends who have tried fillers were not happy with the results. "I never had any fillers," she affirmed. "Some friends of mine did it, but they were not happy with the end result."

Jocelyn Wildenstein addresses small procedures, insists they aren't plastic surgery

Jocelyn Wildenstein did admit to having had a "small surgery", though she does not consider it to be plastic surgery. According to Wildenstein, the procedure was a "light peel" treatment she had done when she was younger to prevent wrinkles, and she continues to receive the treatment periodically.

"When I was younger, I did it to prevent the wrinkles later on, and I’ve had them since then," she explained. "But nothing surgical on the eye."

The socialite also acknowledged having a small eyebrow lift in the past, which she refers to as a “small rectification". She explained, “I had on the eyebrow a little lift, on the top of the eyebrow. Each time it is a small rectification. You can do more if you like it, or not if you think it is too much. It’s a small surgery. It keeps up a little refreshment in your eye. It’s been quite a while since I had it done though – six or seven years.”

Though Wildenstein does not classify this as plastic surgery, the eyebrow lift could be considered a surgical procedure by others. However, Wildenstein maintains that her changes are primarily a result of natural aging and careful maintenance, not drastic surgical interventions.

Internet calls Jocelyn Wildenstein 'delusional' for claiming she hasn't had plastic surgery

Social media users expressed their views on Jocelyn Wildenstein's claim of never having undergone plastic surgery, with many expressing skepticism.

One user wrote, "What a mess. Bad enough facing old age with the body doing the regular breaking down let alone suffering from the side effects of these botched procedures."

Another added, "Clearly has mh issues,and she was really pretty when younger. So sad."

A user said, "The poor woman is seriously deluded, those around her should have been getting her help instead of allowing this to happen, it's just another form of self harm. Unfortunately there are plenty of unscrupulous surgeons out there who don't care what you end up like."

Another added, "Maybe it wasn’t done by a Plastic Surgeon… A Blacksmith, Boiler Maker, Butcher, Tree Surgeon, or Wood Carver could all have been responsible?"

An individual commented, "Medicine should be developed to fix people logic and minds."

Another said, "She means she hasn’t had any this week."

A comment read, "Why lie? We aren’t blind."

"The only other explanation for her appearance is that she got caught up in a fire and was put out with a shovel," said one user.
