Jane Fonda has been in the acting business since the 1960s and became a cultural icon in the 80s. Back then, Jane ushered a fitness revolution with the release of her exercise videos that sold millions of copies worldwide.
Now at 81, the public often wonder how Jane looks so good. Her face doesn’t age much and one could argue that she has a body of a 50 year old, at worst. This led to many plastic surgery speculations.
Despite a few wrinkles on her face today, people speculated that the “9 to 5” actress had a facelift and gets regular botox.
With an illustrious Hollywood career and a keen business sense, Jane certainly has the money to find a great doctor to make her look ageless.
But did she?
Before & After Photos
Has Jane had cosmetic surgery long before it became the norm in Hollywood? Let’s compare some photos of the superstar to validate.
Did Jane Fonda Have Facelift?
Jane’s face has obvious lines and wrinkles, so it can’t hide the fact that she’s truly aging. But after comparing these before and after photos, we can see that the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth have greatly reduced. So this suggests to us that she might’ve had a facelift to smoothen those areas.
Her facial skin clearly looks tighter too so whatever she’s done, have reversed her age by as much as 15 years.
Did She Get an Eye Lift?
Based on this photo evidence, we think there’s a good chance Jane had an eye lift.
The loosened skin around her eyes seems to have tightened. Her eye bags have also faded.
If true, then her plastic surgeon didn’t overdo it because there are some leftover fine lines which made it look natural.
Has Jane Fonda Had Botox?
We can see signs that Jane may have used botox injections to keep her skin stretched and taut. At her age, her face cheeks should be drooping but you don’t see it here.
If you look closely, her cheek area looks especially plump and this is often the result of face fillers.
What do you think?
Does Jane Have Breast Implants?
While it might be surprising for a woman in her 70s or 80s to get breast implants but the chance is there.
If you look at the comparison above, her after photo shows a much fuller chest than before, where she hardly had boobs or even a cleavage.
Some may argue that this could be her choice of outfit that shaped her body this way. We certainly wouldn’t disagree because for someone her age to get a boob job is quite risky, don’t you think?
Jane Fonda: Then and Now
Let’s see how Jane has transformed over the past 80 years of her amazing life.
Early Childhood
By Harriet Warren, Los Angeles TimesHere’s a black and white photo of Jane when she was young, with her dad. As a child, she was not only cute, she was pretty!
1950s

1960s
Source: PinterestDuring the ’60s, Jane did at least two films a year and thus became one of the biggest stars of that decade. Color photographs became the norm then, which highlighted her beauty even more.
The actress with an attractive face shape looked so alluring this photo with her lush cheekbones and big beady eyes, which we doubt needed enhancement like an eyelid surgery. Jane also has imperfect big teeth, which we think makes her smile look sexier.
1970s

1980s

Her wavy hair and gorgeous blue eyes were on most home’s television as women everywhere followed her aerobics routines to obtain her body.
The actress had prominent laugh lines on her face back then. We think this made her look very authentic and approachable.
Year 1990

At 53 years old, she still looks young for her age, however, the talks of plastic surgery became louder. People also grew curious of Jane’s skincare routine.
Year 2000

But would Jane, the health buff, get a liposuction in her ’60s?
We highly doubt it.
Year 2005
Photo Credit: GettyDespite her retirement, Jane did another movie with Jennifer Lopez in “Monster in Law.” She showed up at the premiere with a chic cut for her hair. Though she had fine lines around her eyes, Jane still managed to look younger than her 63 year old self. Obviously, she had help from quality cosmetics and skincare products to look this great.
Year 2010
Photo Credit: GettyNow 73 years of age, signs of aging on her skin has definitely caught up with time. Jane’s face registered deep lines and wrinkles, as well as obvious crows feet all around her eyes.
Year 2013
Photo Credit: GettyBut a few years later, Jane reversed her age by having her skin tightened with a possible facelift. Does this look like a 76 year old woman to you?
Some experts believe Jane also had an eye lift and a neck lift to achieve this younger look.
It’s quite possible she wore the collar in this photo to hide the scar from the procedure. Clever woman!
Year 2017
Photo Credit: GettyJane Fonda stunned the crowd when she attended the Oscars in a hot pink gown and ponytail hairstyle that belied her age. She also changed her hair color to a lighter shade, matched her lipstick to her dress and finished off her makeup with fake eyelashes.
It’s amazing how a woman her age could get away with this look!
Year 2018
Photo Credit: Getty ImagesAt 80, Jane looks at least 2 decades younger than her real age. Her skin looks nearly flawless, apart from some lines around her eyes.
What Did Jane Say About Plastic Surgery?
Speaking with The Guardian, Jane Fonda admitted she had cosmetic procedures and she’s grateful for it.
I wish I were brave enough to not do plastic surgery but I think I bought myself a decade.
But if people wonder why she’s not completely wrinkle-free, Jane said she did not try to hide some of the lines on her face.
I made sure that they kept my lines. I didn’t want to lose my wrinkles; I just wanted to lose the bags under my eyes. I don’t like it when it’s overdone, but we do live in a time when, if you can afford a good doctor, you can have subtle plastic surgery.
In terms of her breasts, she revealed she did not get breast implants in her ’70s but she temporarily had protheses on her body and loved the reaction she got from people for her fake breasts.
