Kim Cattrall admits to using Botox

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall is firm on her stand that people who get plastic surgery look like aliens. She is also determined not to have any cosmetic surgery done on her since she wants to age gracefully and to avoid looking like any plastic girl in town.

The 51-year-old ‘Mannequin’ actress admits that she has gotten Botox injections in order to look younger but adds that this is the extent of all the cosmetic enhancements she has had ever since. Cattrall is scared of getting plastic surgery because she is afraid that she might no longer look like herself after she comes out of a surgeon’s office.

In an interview with The Times, Kim Cattrall has this to say:

“Why would anyone lower themselves to look like an alien? I’m scared of surgery because I don’t want to look in the mirror and not recognize who’s looking back. I don’t want to be in a room, and to have people turn when I leave and say, ‘What happened?’ I’m 51 and I think I look my age, but I don’t want to be 20 any more or even 30 or 40.

Cattrall is firm about not getting any more cosmetic treatments other than Botox. But when one looks at her face closely, it is highly possible that Kim Cattrall may have had chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing based on her still youthful looks. It is quite hard to determine though if Kim had any invasive procedure done on her face since everyone knows the actress is blessed with good genes.

“I don’t look at magazines for my definition of what is beautiful. Is that a heavily retouched 18-year-old or a 40-year-old on the cover? I don’t think so - nobody looks like that. I look at people such as Helen Mirren or Judi Dench, these amazing women who look great, but look their age.”
