CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Oprah Winfrey made a stunning entrance at the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC), looking as though she had just stepped out of a time machine, appearing 30 years younger.

Spoiler alert: Oprah's secret may involve a little help from her plastic surgeon as board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, Dr Mariano Busso, has spilled the tea on the talk show queen's timeless beauty - but not in the way one would expect.

Oprah's youthful looks attributed to beauty treatments, dermatologist spills 

Though she turned 70 in 2024, Oprah has made fans speculate whether she had discovered the fountain of youth, kept her plastic surgeon on speed dial, or perhaps joined Hollywood’s latest craze with Ozempic.

Here’s the real scoop.

According to Dr Mariano Busso, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist based in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, Oprah’s timeless beauty is likely the result of a few well-chosen treatments over the years - no mystical secrets involved.

While Oprah's impressive $3 billion fortune might not grant her a magical fountain of youth, it does open doors to top-notch cosmetic treatments.

Dr Busso, in an exclusive chat with Nicki Swift, suggests that these enhancements could be the secret behind Oprah’s seemingly ageless appearance.

Dr Busso pointed out that although there are no obvious signs of extensive facial surgery, a keen eye can detect subtle clues.

“Oprah's neck does not reflect the neck of someone that is 70 years old and has been gaining and losing weight throughout her life. Her chin implant is also helping,” he noted, adding, "The position of her eyebrows is high and does not represent the position of a 70-year eyebrow that has been subject to gravity and muscle pull."

Additionally, Dr Busso speculated that Oprah may have had a rhinoplasty, as her nose now appears “less ethnic” than before.

Another key to Oprah’s radiant look? It’s all about playing the long game. Dr Busso suggested that Oprah’s stunning appearance might be the result of gradual, subtle enhancements over time.

“Smart celebrities start their surgical improvements early and gradual so they are not obvious,” he explained. This approach allows for a natural and understated transformation that keeps fans guessing.

Oprah has consistently denied undergoing plastic surgery

Despite persistent rumors over the years, in 2003, during the 18th season of her iconic talk show, she addressed the tabloid gossip head-on.

“According to this I've had a breast lift and liposuction and a chin implant. Why would I want that? It's not true,” Oprah declared as reported by Irish Examiner.

“But, hey, I must be looking pretty good. I will be the first to tell you if I have plastic surgery.” As of now, that revelation hasn’t come to pass.

While Oprah has never admitted to cosmetic procedures, she’s been refreshingly open about her struggles with weight management.

From liquid diets to her role on the Weight Watchers board (which she left in early 2024), Oprah has reportedly tried it all.

She’s also expressed regret over her involvement in diet culture, acknowledging in a YouTube special, “I’ve been a steadfast participant in this diet culture,” and apologized for setting unrealistic standards for her audience.

Today, Oprah focuses on promoting healthier habits and has confessed to using an undisclosed weight loss medication as a tool for managing her weight.

“I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing,” she told People.

“The fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself."

Fans speculate about 'billion dollars' and 'baby blood' behind Oprah's beauty

The moment Oprah graced the stage at the DNC, fans flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to rave about her stunning, radiant appearance.

One viewer expressed, "Never mind Kamala Harris, I want to know where Oprah found the elixir of eternal youth."

Another viewer shared that "a billion dollars helps," to keep Oprah looking young. 

One viewer pointed out, "Why does Oprah look so much younger now than she did 15 years ago? What is she doing to stay so youthful?"

A follower observed, "How's Oprah getting younger? She drinking that good adrenocrhome baby blood again?"

One comment stated, "Don’t forget aborted fetus facial creams."

Another hilarious comment read, "Full body replacement."

"You see she’s worth billions so every few years she spends millions to get her face stretched. Why is only people with money that look younger with age? Get a clue," explained an individual.
