Jennifer Garner Discusses Botox and Embracing Aging at 53

Jennifer Garner is not worried about getting older.

At 53, Garner discussed her experiences with cosmetic procedures during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar on Friday, June 6. “I don’t judge whatever makes anyone look or feel their best,” she began. “I haven’t needed any procedures yet, but I’ve asked doctors before, ‘Do I need this?’ Thankfully, I’ve had very nice doctors who’ve said, ‘No.’”

While Garner hasn’t opted for plastic surgery, she is open to discussing it in about “10 years.” “I’m not there yet,” she stated.

Though she hasn’t undergone surgery, Garner has tried out injectables to help stave off aging signs. “I don’t do much, and Botox doesn’t work that well for me; that’s why I wear bangs a lot,” she clarified. “I want to be able to move my forehead—it’s a big part of my face. I have, like, a five-head.”

As for aging, Garner, who has three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck, is embracing every phase of her life. “I’m not really stressed about aging or changes,” she revealed. “Of course, I have moments when I look at the monitor at work and think, ‘Who is that? Oh, that’s me!’” She continued, “I want to age. I want to live to be 100. I don’t expect to look like I do now at 100. I want to embrace every single one of those 100 years and feel proud of them.”

Garner also believes in minimizing time spent scrutinizing her appearance in the mirror. “I haven’t devoted much time worrying about how I look. I don’t spend a lot of time in front of the mirror,” she admitted. “Sometimes I could probably pay more attention; I’m sure I’ve had things in my teeth or a stray hair. There are pros and cons to that.”
