Plastic Surgery

Rumours of possible plastic surgery by Sofia Vergara have always been on and off the spotlight. While many believe her age-defying looks is as a result of the several plastic surgeries she has turned to, others think otherwise.

But generally, experts believe the A-lister has gone under the knife severally just to maintain her appearance. It is believed that she has done cosmetic dentistry, breast enlargement, face lift, brow lift or Botox and even butt augmentation just to stay glowing and far younger than her age.

As one of Hollywood’s sexiest actresses, Vergara has never shied away from professing her love for cosmetic enhancement. But she’s yet to confirm or deny if she surgically enhanced her looks. Until then, we would believe she has a ‘good gene’ and hasn’t gone under the knife, as widely speculated.
