CELEBRITIES can appear ageless – and nobody more than Jennifer Lopez as she celebrates her 50th birthday today.
According to an expert plastic surgeon, the Hollywood star still looks as good as she did two decades ago, having the face of a 32-year-old.
British cosmetic surgeon Juilan De Silva analysed photographs of the star from 1999 to today, and with clever mapping software predicted she looked 32.
Leaving him wondering what she would look like if her features matched her aged, Julian used his Future Face Program to predict what she would look like having aged 20 years.
The software used by the Harley Street surgeon has shown what the actress could have looked like if she aged like the 'average woman', by adding signs of ageing to her eyes, cheek bones and frown lines.
Studying how she had developed through the years, the specialist noted that in 1999, Jennifer looked just 26, four years younger than her actual age, and in 2009, aged 40, results showed she was 29.
Julian explained: "'Jennifer Lopez's facial features are nothing short of remarkable. She shows almost no signs of ageing in the past 20 years.
"Our computer mapping software aged her at 32 years, which is 18 years younger than her actual age. She has practically none of the usual signs of ageing for a woman comfortably in middle age.
"The only feature that has slightly changed is that she has a slightly broader and squarer jawline, but these changes are almost imperceptible."
Curious about the effects on other women, the surgeon also studied the faces of Friends actress Jennifer Anniston, who turned 50 in February, and found that she was no older than 39.
Basing them on the ageing of the 'average woman', Julian used his technology to visualise what other famous women could have looked like if they'd aged 'normally'.
Using photographs taken of stars in the 1990s, the surgeon added 20 years of predicted age.
He softened the jaw and neckline, loosened the skin, increased puffiness above the eyes and crow's fee and added lines to snaps of Renee Zellweger, 50, and Tess Daly, 50.
Julian added: "Any women will wonder what is J-Lo's secret to remaining so youthful. Certainly her clean living and sporty lifestyle have made a difference.
"She has no alcohol or coffee, has never smoked, protects her skin from the sun, sees a personal trainer every day, and says she always gets at least seven hours of sleep.
"But although these things will certainly help maintain healthier skin they will not stop the inevitable loosening of the skin and gravity's effects on the face moving downwards.
"It is likely that she has used some non-invasive treatments such as lifting facials to maintain the youthful shape of her face."
