The lifestyle mogul, 82, has opened up about all the cosmetic procedures she does in order to look and feel youthful. During the season two premiere of her The Martha Stewart Podcast on Thursday (February 8), Stewart was joined by her cosmetic dermatologist. During the episode, the two discussed the Botox, fillers, and skin tightening Stewart has done. “Everybody is so interested when they see a selfie of me posted on the Internet," she says in the episode. The entrepreneur said that all the commentary and questions about her facelift make her want to set the record straight.

Dermatologist Dr. Dan Belkin broke down the treatments Stewart has come to him for. He listed muscle-relaxing injections in her neck and jawline and described the type of fillers he used for her cheeks. Stewart also admits that having Botox on the upper part of her face has backfired on her at times, describing how her eyebrows unnaturally go up in a V shape. Not remembering all of her procedures, she asked Dr. Belkin to help jog her memory. He shared they've explored skin tightening procedures, ultrasound tightening, and softwave (which he describes is an ultrasound-based tightening device), Ulthera (an ultrasound-based skin tightening "that works").
Stewart revealed in the episode how she honestly feels about getting older. Though she says she doesn't "think a lot about age," the television personality doesn't "want to look my age at all. And that's why I really work hard at it," she says. The billionaire isn't only about surface improvements. She says she prioritizes exercise and keeps tabs on her diet in a healthy way. As we reported last May, Stewart made history as Sports Illustrated's oldest model to grace the cover of the annual swimsuit issue.
Martha Stewart Through The Years: Gallery
Martha Stewart was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on August 3, 1941. She is known for being a businesswoman, writer, and television personality. Stewart has written numerous bestselling books, is the publisher of Martha Stewart Living magazine, and hosted two syndicated television programs: Martha Stewart Living (1993-2004) and The Martha Stewart Show (2005-2012).
When Stewart was 10, she occasionally babysat New York Yankees players Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Gil McDougald's children. She also began modeling and at 15 years old, Stewart was featured in a television commercial for Unilever. She even starred in a Tareyton cigarette advertisement in which "Smokers would rather fight than switch!" During her college years, she modeled for luxury French fashion house Chanel. Stewart's family taught her a lot about cooking when she was growing up. Her mother taught her how to cook and sew, while her father passed on his knowledge and expertise in gardening. She learned how to can and preserve foods from her grandparents.
In 1976, Stewart started a catering business in her basement with a friend from her modeling days, Norma Collier. After the two had a falling out, Stewart bought out Collier's portion of the business. In 1990, Stewart signed with Time Publishing Ventures to develop her magazine, Martha Stewart Living. Three years later, Stewart hosted Martha Stewart Living, based on her magazine. By 2001, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) found Stewart had avoided a loss of over $45,000 by selling all 3,928 shares of her ImClone Systems stock after receiving material, nonpublic information from her broker at Merrill Lynch. The day following her sale, the stock value fell 16%.
She was indicted by a grand jury on nine counts, including charges of securities fraud and obstruction of justice on June 4, 2003. In 2004, Stewart was convicted of felony charges and served five months in federal prison. However, this didn't end her media empire; Martha began a comeback campaign, and her company returned to profitability the following year.

See below photos of Martha Stewart through the years:
1999

Already nearing 60 at this point, Stewart first became a billionaire when her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, went public in 1999. The cardigan wrapped around her shoulders just screams rich.
2002

Mixing together warm and cool tones, Stewart paired her brown shirt with a metallic leather jacket. You wouldn't be able to tell that at this time, she had resigned from her position on the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange, which she held for four months.
2004

We love this photo of Stewart wearing a fur scarf, tucking her hair behind her ear with a big grin. Unfortunately, she probably doesn't love this photo. It captured a moment after she was found guilty on all counts and served five months in federal prison.
2007

Looking as though she aged backwards, Stewart had successfully made her comeback. In 2007, she produced a wine brand called Martha Stewart Vintage. She also also signed a contract with Costco to offer frozen and fresh food under the Kirkland Signature label.
2011

Martha looked regal draping this brown jacket over a simple black long-sleeved top. In 2011, she debuted a new 30-minute show called 'Martha Bakes' on the Hallmark Channel.
2015

It is hard to pull off an all-white outfit, yet Martha did just that in her 70s. By this time, she embarked on a new business venture, partnering with eBay to create the American Made Martha Stewart online store.
2018

As one of her best fashion looks in recent years, we love how Stewart was styled for Saint Laurent's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the film ‘Belle de Jour.’ The mixing of different materials and keeping within different shades of brown is a fashion highlight for Stewart.
2020

Looking like a classic beauty, Stewart paired stacked golden pearls with a black dress with mesh sleeves while attending the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. In 2020, she hosted a gardening show called 'Martha Knows Best premiered on HGTV' in which Stewart provided gardening help to individual callers and her celebrity friends.
2023

In her 80s, Stewart appeared on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue' as the cover model, being the publication's oldest model to be featured on the cover. She said, "Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age." In this glittering gold gown, Martha proves you can be as youthful as you feel.
