Courteney Cox Had All Her Face Fillers Dissolved Because She Didn’t Want to “Look Fake” Anymore

Last week, Courteney Cox appeared on the Gloss Angeles podcast and talked about about her journey with fillers. The show’s co-hosts, Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan, asked the actor to name and explain her biggest “beauty regret,” and Courteney immediately said “fillers.”

“It’s a domino effect,” the Friends alum began before getting into the weeds about how the injectables affected her, both mentally and physically. “You don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more because you look normal to yourself…and you look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh, that looks good.’ You don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person.” Courteney then talked about all the pressure she put on herself to look younger: “And that’s just a bummer, a waste of time… So I think I messed up a lot.”

Eventually, Courteney decided to remove all the fillers from her face. She even wanted to post before-and-after shots of herself: one with filler and another without. However, her publicist wouldn’t let her. (Sad, because it probs would have been a message well received!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

This isn’t the first time Courteney has opened up about her history of cosmetic work, either. Back in February 2022, she confessed to the Sunday Times that she hated the overwhelming speculation about her appearance, saying, “The scrutiny is intense, but I don’t know if it could be more intense than what I put on myself…There was a time when you go, ‘Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older.’ And I tried to chase that youthfulness for years. And I didn’t realize that, oh, shit, I’m actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now.”

And even back in 2017, she told NewBeauty, “I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was. I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake.”

Fast-forward to now, and the Scream star is much happier going filler-free. Just look at her glow at the Scream VI red carpet premiere alongside her daughter, Coco Arquette! I could not be more obsessed with this woman if I tried.
