Experts Weigh In: Dissolver Fillers or Facelift?
The fashion designer, 70, has admitted to getting Botox in the past, so many fans thought her new look could be a result of getting some of those procedures reversed. Anastasia Koles, Koles, advanced aesthetic nurse and founder of ALTA Medispa, weighed in with her thoughts. “From images, her lips do appear smaller compared to before, which can happen for a few reasons.”
“In the past, she seems to have had permanent fillers, likely silicone, in combination with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers layered on top,” she explained. “If the HA filler has been dissolved or has naturally broken down, that could explain the reduction in volume.”

She also added that she very well could've gotten a facelift. "The initial widening of her lips may also have been due to silicone combined with the effects of a high-tension facelift, where the skin is pulled quite tightly to the sides of the face."
"Her jawline also appears more defined, which could be the result of dermal filler to enhance structure or skin-tightening treatments such as RF microneedling," Koles said. "Both of which are commonly used to create a sharper, more contoured appearance."
Social Media Reactions
Whether Donatella truly dissolved the fillers in her face or simply got ahold of Kris Jenner's plastic surgeon, fans are happy for her, because she looks 20 years younger. "Absolutely stunning!" one person wrote in Donatella's comment section. "Without all the makeup, I can finally see your beauty! You look young, vibrant, strong, warm, and gorgeous. Breath of fresh air!"
"Wow, you look much better," another person wrote. "Great decision!"
"The best she's ever looked," a third comment reads. "Very natural and demure."
"You look beautiful," said another user. "Finally back to the real you!"
"I'm glad she's looking pretty, all that work she had done before seemed to take away from her beauty instead!" reads another comment.
"She definitely got rid of those lips and softened her features," a final fan wrote. "Looking beautiful again!"
