Rumors of plastic surgery have surrounded Anderson within the past few years, as she is remembered for her fairly plump face, with soft, rounded features while she was filming The X-Files. These days her face is much narrower, with sharper features, fueling the rumors of plastic surgery.
A few plastic surgeons have said Anderson could have simply lost a bit of weight, resulting in the narrow and sharper facial features, however; there are a few experts who say she may have had a nose job or Botox injections, but little, if any, plastic surgery. One plastic surgeon in Miami says Anderson looks like she takes good care of her skin and that gives her a youthful and healthy look.
Other cosmetic surgery experts have gone on to say that if you look at a recent photo of Anderson, her face does not appear to be smooth and wrinkle-free. Her face wrinkles up when she smiles, and her laugh lines become more apparent. Her face shows no evidence of being pulled or stretched, as is the case after a person has undergone some facial or cosmetic surgery. Her lips do not appear to be any plumper, ruling out any collagen injections she may have been rumored to have.
Whether or not Gillian Anderson has had any plastic surgery remains a mystery, as she has never confirmed nor denied publicly ever undergoing any procedure. Inquiring minds are left to draw their own conclusions.
