Jennifer Lawrence gets “baby Botox” but says she keeps it light on purpose: “I need to have movement in my face.” The one thing she really wants, buccal fat removal, is off the table for a reason she can’t get around.
Buccal fat removal takes fat pads out of the lower cheeks for a slimmer face, and Lawrence says she’d love it. “I can’t because everybody would know, but just know that I want that,” she told Vogue in an interview published September 3.
The 36-year-old Oscar winner keeps her actual routine restrained. “I get baby Botox, but I can’t do a lot,” she said. “If my skin is going to be a little saggier than I would like, at least it looks dewy and pretty.”
She’s wary of one trend in particular. “I’m really nervous about these fat transfers,” she said. “I support other people doing them because I want to continue to watch and see what happens, but I don’t know about that.”
