Has Melissa Gilbert Had Cosmetic Surgery?
Even an actress that’s been in show business her entire life isn’t immune to the rumor mill, and one of the results of this is the Melissa Gilbert plastic surgery gossip that’s floating around the Internet and tabloids.
The actress, perhaps best known for her role as Laura Ingles Wilder in the TV series Little House on the Prairie was born in 1964, and she has been acting in one way, shape or form since she was 5 years old.
An acclaimed actress and writer, Gilbert is the mother of two children as well. Despite this though, she looks extremely attractive for her age, which has lead some people to speculate that she’s had celebrity plastic surgery to help maintain her good looks well into her middle years.
A Nose Job & Breast Enlargement Perhaps?
Unlike the bad plastic surgery nightmares that the public has seen from Hollywood, such as the Heidi Montag plastic surgery debacle, if Melissa Gilbert is undergoing cosmetic procedures she’s doing so purely for maintenance of her already good looks.
The rumors, much like those relating to Halle Berry’s plastic surgery gossip you still hear, are that Gilbert has gotten a rhinoplasty (nose job in the common vernacular), breast augmentation and other, less invasive procedures like Botox injections.
However, far from the bad plastic surgery some celebrities have had, if Gilbert is going under the knife it’s with a doctor skilled enough to make his work look extremely natural.
On the one hand, the argument for Melissa Gilbert’s status as a plastic surgery celebrity is that her breasts have grown over time, and that her beauty has clung to her with very little fading over the years.

Since she’s an established Hollywood persona, the logic seems to go that she has access to all the best cosmetic procedures, so she should be using them.
What Do Melissa’s Before and After Pictures Tell Us?
Pictures of Melissa Gilbert throughout her life have shown that she’s aged very, very well.
Pictures today show a woman into her middle years with a smooth face devoid of crows feet and wrinkles, which has lead many to suggest that she’s been getting Botox.
However there are those that have been studying the shape and size of Gilbert’s breasts to try and determine whether or not she’s had an augmentation.
On the one hand her breasts are large, though not too large for her frame. She has had two children, which can increase the size of a woman’s breasts.
Additionally, since the pictures of Gilbert are of her fully clothed it’s possible that tailored clothing and bras help maintain the youthful set of her chest, which can be misleading.
Just as with her nose it’s simply too hard to tell whether or not age has been kind to her and allowed her to change slowly into an older version of the attractive young woman she was, or if she has been getting subtle cosmetic help.
Sadly, without a definite answer either way, Melissa Gilbert cosmetic surgery speculations will likely keep going as long as her career has.

My guess is at the minimum she has had fraxel laser, botox, and fillers especially in the lip area… as for a boob job… yep you bet.
Are you flippin’ kidding? “subtle cosmetic help;” “aged very very well”????? Like so many of these HollyWeird women, she looks like a wax figurine and has ruined her face with that “Joker” effect they all end up with. It’s HORRID!
the before picture looks soooo much better.
