Has Meryl Streep Had Plastic Surgery?
It is extremely unlikely that Meryl Streep will ever become a candidate for plastic surgery gone wrong!
In Hollywood circles and now the wider ‘blogosphere’, Meryl Streep is well known for her very negative stance towards any type of cosmetic or celebrity plastic surgery.
Meryl Streep was born on June 22nd, 1949 and, given her age, some may have expected the Oscar-winning actress to have at least tried a facelift (see facelift without surgery) in an effort to keep up with some of the younger A-list beauties that now get the top roles in the latest Hollywood productions.
Meryl made her screen debut as long ago as 1977 in The Deadliest Season and then later that year, her film debut in Julia. Following starring roles in Deer Hunter in 1978 and the Kramer vs Kramer in 1979, she was nominated and then won an Oscar for the latter. Meryl Streep is widely respected and revered as one of Hollywood’s all-time female actresses.
Meryl Streep Speaks Out Against Cosmetic Surgery
Back in 2008, Meryl criticized Hollywood celebrities of both sexes for going under the knife, arguing that there are indeed advantages to growing older in Tinseltown as different types of roles are offered. She would no doubt be critical, therefore, of Jane Fonda’s very public decision to have cosmetic enhancements (see also Jane Fonda).
“The good thing about getting older is that when they do cast you it’s often something interesting – you’re no longer asked to be the beautiful leading lady,” she said.
“When actors aren’t hired just for their matinee looks they are given the chance to play roles that “examine all the idiosyncrasies people have.”
Streep clearly understands that it is impossible to hold onto the smooth clear complexions of youth forever.
“I think you have to embrace getting older and celebrate life,” she advised.
That’s may be something Meg Ryan or Jocelyn Wildenstein (Cat Woman cosmetic surgery) should have considered. Those two are considered examples of bad plastic surgery.

So, Meryl Streep has vehemently denied ever having plastic surgery and has spoken out against it. Instead, she prefers to let the ageing process define the way she looks naturally and grow old gracefully.
For now at least, there is no story as far as Meryl Streep plastic surgery goes.

Dude! She has HUGE cheekbone implants. How can you not see it? They hurtin’ mah eyes! Florence Henderson also has them. If you’re not skilled enough to spot them, you can always tell because these old ladies wrinkles everywhere except around the TAUT SKIN AROUND THE SILICONE which stays smooth & wrinkle free.
Nope, Meryl hasn’t had any cheek implants at all. It would make no sense to have the implants done and then leave the wrinkles around her eyes. Meryl has no motive to lie about plastic surgery. She has really nothing more to gain in the world of Stardom, she’s reached the ceiling and proved there is no better actor who’s mastered the craft of acting than she. Meryl is much too classy to put on airs and has no need to impress or compete. As she mentioned, aging has its benefits and different roles are offered that are equally as interesting. For example, twenty or thirty years ago she wouldn’t have been casted as Margaret Thatcher. Helen Mirren wouldn’t have been casted as Queen Elizabeth. Both of these women gave superb performances, and imitating someone so high profile and well known around the world is a very tedious role at best with no forgiveness for mistakes or anything less than perfection. No facades with this beautiful, genuine woman.
No woman in her sixties has a jawline like that. Please.
She said she HATES plastic surgery so please trust her! Open your eyes guys, you see that she still has wrinkles on her all face. You just have to make the difference between real life or event AND films or articles magazines or photoshoots (in which she IS photoshopped AGAINST her willingness)
When I first began dating my now husband in the late 1970′s, he told me once that to him, I resembled a cross between Meryl Streep and Angie Dickenson – wow – if only I could have aged so gracefully~I personally believe Ms. Streep, and have huge respect for her as an actress and as a classy lady all around. In my really younger days, my boyfriend suggested I was a Cybil Shepherd look-a-like – THOSE were the days!!
Meryl doesn’t need plastic surgery to win all the awards… it is just her… try to put anybody instead of her…You cannot…That is why she is the simple Meryl Streep shocked that she’s got another Oscar ! She is genuine ….Is only Meryl…! No matter how she does it…she is excellent, she is in our hearts…Meryl is not winning only for physical qualities, but for her fantastic acting …what every actor should focus on… ildi
