A Plastic Surgeon Compares Older And Newer Photos Of Natalie Portman In A Viral Post

Dr. Jonny Betteridge is a UK-based plastic surgeon who owns his own aesthetics practice. He's also a viral content creator, often creating Instagram reels analyzing some of today's biggest celebrities and their facial transformations. His videos frequently contain his takes and opinions on what they might have done in terms of surgery or treatments.

 

Recently, he caused a buzz after looking at Natalie's facial transformation over the years, given that she's been in the film industry since she was 13 years old.

 

"At 44 years old, Natalie Portman's age-defying beauty was evident at the Governor's Awards this year," says Dr. Betteridge in his reel. "Looking back four years, there are subtle but noticeable signs of aging...I think Natalie may have had Botox, a temporal brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, lip filler, and a face and neck lift, with skincare and laser work helping to bring everything together."

Fans Weigh In On Natalie's Facial Transformation

The doctor's viral video caused quite a stir online, as it appears there were many users who were under the impression that the Star Wars icon was aging naturally. In the comments section, many noted that they didn't notice many changes in her face throughout the years.

 

"I can't really tell much difference," commented a user. "She looks good to me."

 

"Beautiful with and without the work," added another.

 

One user wrote that if the actress did have work done on her face, it was "better work than others."

 

Although the Oscar winner has never admitted to getting any sort of treatment or surgery, always living a relatively private life off-screen, the consensus amongst fans seems to be that she looks "amazing" either way.
