The US First Lady garnered attention in 2011, which she started to look younger than her 45 years. She drew criticism for making the Walter Reed Army Medical Center her clinic. Many accused her of using taxpayer’s money for surgical procedures.
She kept visits to the clinic secret, but people noticed the federal agents outside its doors. Gossip circulated about her having fat sucked out from her abdomen, thighs, and hips. There were fierce rumors about Michelle Obama having facelifts, fillers at her eyes and lips, a nose job and even botox injections.
However, Michelle Obama has never admitted to having such plastic surgeries. And we know that this piece of news comes from The National Enquirer, a source where stories can be stretched.
But Michelle Obama did state her stand on plastic surgery at one point, saying “Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves,” the first lady told People magazine around her 50th birthday. “Right now, I don’t imagine that I would go that route, but I’ve also learned to never say never.”

The First Lady is a beautiful woman who puts effort into her appearance. At 51, her skin looks flawless. In fact her skin looks smooth and wrinkle free.
If you take a close look at photographs of her, you will notice that there are no creases around her mouth. The lines could have disappeared because of possible Botox injections (though we can never be sure)
