JENNIFER Aniston has always been open about her nose job, but an aesthetics doctor says that’s not all the star has had done.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, he pinpointed several cosmetic procedures that he believes shaped the 55-year-old Friends actress’ face over the years.
With speculation about whether she’d had this or that done swirling since the start of Friends, Jennifer admitted to People in 2017 that she’d had work on her nose.
“I had [a deviated septum] fixed — best thing I ever did,” she said.
“I slept like a baby for the first time in years. As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it’s still mine. All of it. Still mine,” she added, addressing rumors about her breasts.
“Short of letting everybody have a feel, I don’t know what else to do. I really am pretty happy with what God gave me.”
In 2018, Jen’s rep told Us Weekly she’d had a second surgery to “correct a deviated septum that was incorrectly done over 12 years ago.”
But Juvly Aesthetics CEO Dr. Justin Harper, 43, insists that’s not all, saying Jen is one of several stars who look “overfilled.”
“She had many nasolabial facial folds when she was young,” he said.
“Now she doesn’t, but the trade-off is this kind of weird, masculine midface.”
“If you would have asked me five years ago or three years ago, I would have said, ‘She’s somebody who had really great work,'” Dr. Harper admitted.
Lip filler isn’t a new practice, and although application methods have changed, celebrities have been getting plumper pouts for decades.
In the past, Dr. Harper said lips were treated around the borders, which is “not correct.”
“The volume should happen inside when you see the line,” he explained.
Treating on the outline borders makes the lips stretch and widen.
Comparing images, he noted that Aniston’s lips are now wider than they used to be.
“That’s from the first lip technique that everybody knew and taught and was trained on,” he said.
Secondly, there is now a “general flatness” around her mouth that he believes is caused by extensive nasolabial filler.
He thinks it makes her look more masculine.
In the past, medical professionals injected the filler straight into the lines, which caused the area to look more boxy.
“If you were to cover all of her upper face and hair, and you were to transpose that with David Beckham or somebody, this middle bit would look the same,” Dr. Harper said.
Dr. Harper explained how you can spot bad cheek filler without being a medical professional like he is.
“When you see a cheek mound or a cheek circle bulging out at rest, this is something we made. That is not a natural thing,” he said.
Similar to how makeup artists apply contour, there’s a highlight area from the corner of the eye down to the mouth that is “almost always flat a rest.”
I am grateful to learn from [other women’s] mistakes because I am not injecting s**t into my face.

“Almost all young, attractive people, both men and women, are flat on their cheek under their eyes.”
Dr. Harper said cheek filler isn’t aren’t aesthetically pleasing for anyone.
Now when Jennifer smiles, Dr. Harper explained that it creates big cheek mounds that look like “chipmunk cheeks.”
Jen, however, has insisted in the past that she’s not one to inject her face.
“There is this pressure in Hollywood to be ageless,” she told Harper’s Bazaar Australia.
“I think what I have been witness to is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves.
“I am grateful to learn from their mistakes because I am not injecting s**t into my face.
“I see them and my heart breaks.
“I think, ‘Oh god, if you only know how much older you look.’
“They are trying to stop the clock, and all you can see is an insecure person who won’t let themselves just age.”
Previously, Dr. Harper revealed the tell-tale signs of filler on Margot Robbie, Hailey Bieber, and Taylor Swift.
From “chipmunk cheeks” to “flattened faces,” he compared their past and present looks, and almost all had one thing in common.
“I think that every few years we come up with a new way to go back into the exact same wrong thing if that makes sense. For a long time we talked about nasolabial folds,” Dr. Harper explained.
Nasolabial folds, or smile lines, are a natural sign of aging, but many people pay big bucks to make them less noticeable, he added.
“It’s very tempting, especially if you’re ultra-wealthy and ultra-famous like these individuals, and they’re saying I want this right now and I have to go on the red carpet right now,” he said.
He believes it’s up to the injectors to say no, which he often does.
“I still am not going to do something that’s going to make you, even in the short term, happy. It’s going to make you fundamentally look worse long term,” he said.
