Martha Stewart is speaking openly about the cosmetic treatments she relies on to keep her complexion looking fresh at 85.
In a new interview with People published Wednesday, the lifestyle icon insisted she has never had plastic surgery, though she did acknowledge using fillers.
Stewart, who marked her 85th birthday earlier this week, brushed aside speculation that she has gone under the knife, joking: “I have not had any plastic surgery at all. I don’t think I need it.”
The cooking and entertaining mogul pointed to New York City dermatologist Dr. Dan Belkin as a key part of her age-defying skincare routine, calling him “a very superb dermatologist.”
She said her visits typically happen every few months and include modest filler treatments. “I go maybe once every four months for touch-ups,” Stewart explained, adding that she gets “a little bit of fillers.”
Still, Stewart emphasized that more dramatic cosmetic enhancements are not for her, making clear she has no plans for major body procedures: “I’m not getting boobs done and hips and butts and stuff like that.”

The longtime queen of domesticity also credited regular facials and peptides with helping maintain her famously glowing skin.
‘I do facial exercises and have the best facials from Mario Badescu and Georgia Louise,’ Stewart said.
‘Peptides are very good. I take a few peptides. So that’s what I do.
When asked how she stays ‘looking so good’, she praised the genetics she got from her mother.
‘I have good genes. My mom looked great at 95,’ she said.
The entrepreneur then revealed the lifestyle habits she picked up from her mother.
‘We eat well. We don’t drink very much. We don’t smoke. We eat healthy food. We exercise daily,’ she said before adding that she frequently goes horseback riding too.
As she continued about her beauty routine and habits, Stewart admitted she is ‘more a maintenance kind of person.’
It was also previously revealed that Stewart maintains her youthful appeal by eating all-organic food.
As for exercise, she reportedly takes private Pilates classes three times a week.
And she also enlists a masseuse and chiropractor for further self-care.

Is it honest for celebrities to downplay their cosmetic procedures while promoting natural beauty?
Elsewhere in the interview, Stewart dished on a recent dinner party she attended with Meghan Markle and claimed the Duchess of Sussex was ‘talking about’ her family’s trip to the UK to see King Charles.
Stewart said she recently attended the event in California, which the Suits star also went to, and the pair briefly spoke.
It came days after Markle and Prince Harry arrived home from a trip to Britain with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, having gone to visit the Duke’s father, the King.
‘I had dinner with Meghan Markle the other night. We were both guests at a dinner party in California. And she had just gotten back from the palace,’ Stewart said.
‘I didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words, but I know she was talking about it.’
The cookbook author also commented on how she felt about Meghan ‘stepping into [her] space’, following the launch of the Duchess’s cooking show, ‘With Love, Meghan’.
‘If you’re an actress, it’s hard to then transition to a princess and then from a princess into a homemaking guru on a television show,’ Stewart said. ‘It doesn’t sort of follow. So go from there.’
