Has Mariska Hargitay had Plastic Surgery?

The 51-year-old actress has been on the screen long enough that fans and critics alike witness her practically live her life on television. Thanks to her long-term gig in Law & Order, Hargitay has since become a staple personality on the small screen. As she ages in Hollywood, there comes questions about her possibly going under the knife or undergoing some other cosmetic enhancements. But surely, the actress loves her curves. The mother of three doesn’t seem to be bothered by her body, defying the standards of being thin in entertainment industry. This alone says something about how she loves herself.

However, she’s not closing her doors to the possibilities of surgical enhancements. When asked about plastic surgery a few years back, the actress said: “I used to be against it.” Then she added: “But now that I’m older I think women should do whatever they want to make themselves feel good. I don’t think they should go overboard, and I still think the natural look is the most beautiful. But if you want to do something to help you look more refreshed, I’m all for it.”
