Funny, gorgeous and supremely talented Sandra Bullock is a force to be reckoned with. Just Google “why we love Sandra Bullock” and you’ll get 21 million results. Whether it’s her humbleness, generosity or strength of character, whatever Sandra does is accepted with open arms.
One issue regarding her, however, remains contentious: her ageless face. There’s no denying the actress embodies what it means to “age gracefully,” but some suspect foul play (read plastic surgery).
Because her visage remains smooth to date (she’s 58 at the time of writing), it’s suspected that she’s got all sorts of facial plastic surgeries done. Sandra, on the other hand, has denied going under the knife.
But that doesn’t completely rule out the world of cosmetic “tweakments.” While Sandra Bullock plastic surgery rumours may be untrue, she likely gets non-invasive or minimally-invasive work done (she’s even admitted this much).
Who’s Sandra Bullock?
Considering she’s an A-lister, Hollywood icon, Sandra Bullock doesn’t really need any introduction. But for those who don’t know, Sandra was born on July 26, 1964, in Washington, D.C.
Only she didn’t really grow up there. That’s because 12 years of her life were spent in Germany (she’s fluent in German) and Austria. However, in adolescence, her parents moved back to Washington.
After finishing high school, Sandra received a degree in drama in 1986 from East Carolina University in Greenville.
Following that, she moved to New York and started working as a bartender, cocktail waitress (that, too, with White Lotus’ Jennifer Coolidge at one time), and coat-check girl while auditioning for different roles.
Her climb up the ladder finally started with her role in a play called No Time Flat. From there she went on TV and indie films until she finally got her big break alongside Sylvester Stallone, Benjamin Bratt, and Wesley Snipes in the Demolition Man.
After that came Speed (with Keanu Reeves) and several other films before in everyone’s eyes, she was forever crystallised as “Miss Congeniality.”
Since then, the actress has been a part of many other successful productions like 28 Days, The Proposal, The Net, Time To Kill, Gravity, The Heat, Ocean’s 8, The Blind Side (for which she won Oscar for Best Actress), and The Lost City.
In 2022, however, the actress decided to take a hiatus from acting and producing to spend more time with her family.
Has Sandra Bullock Had Plastic Surgery?
While Sandra Bullock doesn’t appear to have had plastic surgery, she may have had cosmetic treatments such as Botox or fillers.
For instance, In 2018, she admitted to getting a “penis facial” or the Hollywood EGF facial treatment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The treatment itself stirred a lot of controversy because the said EGF – epidermal growth factors – in the face are obtained from the foreskins of Korean babies (it was later clarified that only the initial stem cell was taken from there, the rest were cloned in a lab).
However, in addition to using this “EGF serum,” the treatment also involves a chemical peel, microneedling, and an electrifying mask. The goal eventually is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
The thing about these non-surgical anti-ageing treatments is that they actually do work. Chemical peels exfoliate the skin and can remove damaged skin cells.
Microneedling (also used in Vampire facials) creates small wounds in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
A review on epidermal growth factors, published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, also reported that it’s a “promising skin antiaging agent.”
Treatments like these can certainly help you age well, especially when you can afford them. The one that Sandra got cost $650.
And if the foreskin’s still got you shocked, don’t worry, Hollywood beauty hacks also include blood, placenta, leeches, bee venom and tons of other things.
On plastic surgery though, the actress has joked about it on several occasions, but she has denied having surgery (of course, that doesn’t have to include non-surgical cosmetic treatments).
What Plastic Surgery Has Sandra Bullock Had?
Over the years, there have been many speculations regarding Sandra Bullock’s alleged plastic surgery. Let’s take a closer look at the procedures she’s been accused of getting.
Cheek Implants
People were most vocal about Sandra Bullock getting cheek implants after her 2018 red-carpet appearance at the Oscars.
The actress’ cheeks looked notably plump, which many ended up attributing to cheek implants.
Unfortunately, the actress was subjected to a lot of ridicule, with some even calling her a chipmunk because of her cheeks.
On that, Sandra cleared the air herself, saying that her cheeks were swollen because of allergies.
“This past Oscars I was sick and had allergies, but I was like, ‘I’m just going to go.’ It’s part of my job, and I’m happy to be there. Then the next day they were saying, ‘Oh, she has cheek fillers and implants.’
When I saw the photos and how swollen I was, I got it. But I was like, ‘Well, if I got injections, I only got them on the top,’ which was not very good.”
Looking at her photos, it definitely does look like her cheeks are puffier, but as she said, it may just have been the allergies.
Fillers
On her Oscar look, some also said that the actress had fillers to make her cheeks look plumper.
While dermal fillers can certainly help with volume loss due to ageing, again, facial swelling from allergies is common.
But her cheeks aren’t all where she’s been accused of getting fillers. Some believe that Sandra also had lip fillers.
That definitely does seem like it because the actress has a naturally thin upper lip, but it has looked a bit thicker in recent years.
Botox
One of the big reasons why Sandra is accused of plastic surgery is her wrinkles and fine lines-free face.
Along with some anti-ageing facials, it’s possible that she had help from the good ol’ OG neuromodulator: Botox.
It works by stopping muscle movement, which, in turn, helps smooth the skin.
Increasingly, many young people are now getting Botox as a way to prevent wrinkles and fine lines from forming on the face.
It’s possible that Sandra also started getting this treatment way back. It can certainly give you a youthful appearance.
Facelift
Sandra Bullock’s also been speculated to have had a surgical facelift. Again, the idea is to somehow explain the smooth visage of the Hollywood star.
But a closer look at the skin near her ears doesn’t really show any kind of scarring. So, it’s unlikely that she had to have this procedure (especially since she’s already ageing like fine wine!).
Nose Job
From a very young age, Sandra Bullock had a long nose with a hanging columella. Her side profile also shows the presence of a small hump on her nose.
While it still looks more or less the same, many people think the actress had a nose job. Many have even compared her nose to that of Michael Jackson because of how thin it looks.
Although really, it doesn’t look much different from her old photos.
Conclusion
Keeping all the above in mind, it does seem like Sandra Bullock’s plastic surgery rumours are widely exaggerated.
The actress has done well to ensure her youthful appearance, but many still find it hard to believe that it could all be due to diet, exercise, and good genes (which is really important).
And at the same time, it’s also important to remember that if Sandra does decide to do something with her body, it’s 100% her choice. Being an actor doesn’t make her public property!
If you’re also looking for a cosmetic treatment, invasive or non-invasive, and want to get results as good as Sandra’s, make sure to find a qualified medical professional.
