Nicole Kidman wowed fans when she appeared in a plunging black Ferragamo halter gown at the Hollywood premiere of *The Perfect Couple* at The Egyptian Theatre on Wednesday.
At 57, the A-list actress seems to be defying the aging process, with many social media users speculating her youthful glow could be attributed to ‘face tweakments’ ahead of the debut of the much-discussed Netflix series.
To uncover the secrets behind the Australian star’s ageless beauty, FEMAIL consulted leading plastic surgeons nationwide.
“Nicole looks stunning and has reached a new peak in her beauty,” Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar shared with DailyMail.com.
“It’s impossible to say exactly what she may or may not have had done, but for patients aiming for this kind of classic, timeless aging, there are a few things that can help,” Dr. Dugar explained.

The A-list star seems to be aging in reverse, with many fans on social media speculating that it could be due to ‘tweakments’ she may have had before the premiere.
“Nicole looks stunning and is truly at a new peak of her beauty,” Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar shared with DailyMail.com.
“Maintaining a consistent Dysport regimen, particularly for the neck, is helpful in controlling platysmal neck banding as we age,” Dr. Dugar explained, referring to the wrinkle-reducing injection treatment similar to Botox. While Botox is a well-known brand, both involve neurotoxin injections to relax muscles and diminish wrinkles and fine lines.
Dr. Dugar also emphasized the importance of a solid skincare routine, both morning and night, highlighting the need to incorporate ingredients like salicylic acids, ceramides, cholesterols, retinols, and fatty acids.
“Skin-tightening lasers are magical,” he added, comparing them to ab workouts—”the more you do, the more toned you become.”
Additionally, he pointed out that a “clean, healthy diet and avoiding rapid weight fluctuations” has contributed to the *Moulin Rouge* actress’s radiant appearance.
Dr. Dugar also noted that maintaining a stable weight over time helps keep the skin tight.
New York City facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk told DailyMail.com that the *Big Little Lies* star’s “youthful appearance is likely due to a combination of ultrasound skin-lifting treatments, like Sofwave, and surgical procedures such as a vertical deep plane facelift with hidden incisions, along with upper and lower blepharoplasty,” a surgery that enhances the appearance of the eyelids, which are some of the procedures you can find in clinics and hospitals, if you’re interested in working on the field you can find medical residency network here to help you come into this area.
Dr. Rizk added that many patients in their 40s and beyond seek similar treatments to achieve a tighter jawline. “To look less tired, they often focus on eye rejuvenation,” he explained, noting that the procedures seem effective, as many patients bring in reference photos of the Australian actress.

Beverly Hills-based facial plastic surgeons Dr. Patrick Davis (left) and Dr. Gabriel Chiu (right) both commended the actress.
Beverly Hills-based facial plastic surgeon Dr. Patrick Davis of Davis Facials praised Nicole’s appearance at the premiere, noting, “Her cheekbones are elevated, and her neck looks quite stunning for her age.”
He added, “She does not appear to be ‘overly done’ with dermal injectables, which can sometimes lead to an expanded or enlarged face known as ‘filler face.’ This often occurs when layers of hyaluronic acid fillers cause water retention, leading to swelling in the cheeks and nasolabial folds.”
Dr. Davis speculated that a well-executed facial surgical procedure might have been performed within the past five years to address her neck bands, lift her jowls, and enhance her cheekbones, contributing to her youthful appearance.
Dr. Gabriel Chiu, another Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and husband of Christine Chiu from Netflix’s *Bling Empire*, concurred, stating, “She seems to have undergone a facelift and neck lift, with excellent results.” Dr. Chiu suggested it might have been a deep plane face and neck lift, possibly combined with a lateral brow or temporal lift, and perhaps fat transfer or filler to enhance her cheekbones.
Cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Mariano Busso, with practices in Beverly Hills, California, and Miami, Florida, commended Nicole for showing “very little photoaging despite her fair complexion.”
Dr. Busso remarked that “her flawless forehead and the positioning of her eyebrows appear to be the result of Botox treatments,” describing it as “very good work” to “maintain her youthful features” (Nicole seen in 1994).
Cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Mariano Busso, with practices in Beverly Hills, California, and Miami, Florida, praised Nicole for showing “very little photoaging despite her fair complexion, which often makes sun damage common and almost expected.”
Dr. Busso noted that while there are no visible signs of facial surgery like scars or ear deformities, it is likely she has had a facelift. “Her highly defined jawline without jowls and the absence of neck skin laxity are clear indicators of this procedure.”
He also suggested that her youthful appearance may be attributed to fillers, as her face appears slightly rounder, which is a typical sign. “Her flawless forehead and the positioning of her eyebrows seem to be the result of Botox treatments,” Dr. Busso added, praising it as “very good work” to “maintain her youthful features.”
