Cheryl Tiegs, age 63, made a recent appearance on the “Oprah” show with other aging supermodels. She still insists that she hasn’t had plastic surgery.
A nonscientific survey of 3,100 readers of “In Your Face” found that 73 percent believe she has had plastic surgery.
Local cosmetic doctors have come down on both sides of the question.
Dr. Christopher Zachary, chairman of the Department of Dermatology at UC-Irvine, believes Tiegs.
Before-and-after photos of her that seem to show dramatic changes aren’t comparable because of differences in expression and lighting, Zachary said a few years ago.
“These differences, although not obvious to the uncritical eye, are of immense importance,” he said. “In this case, you should absolutely believe her.”
“She looks great,” he concluded.
Plastic surgeon and blogger Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente and Orange agrees that Tiegs looks good, but he gives credit to plastic surgery.
He wrote this week, “She has always looked good and to look this good in her sixties, a little maintenance has likely been the order of the day. … Quality, timing and moderation reign king here.”
His evaluation is that Tiegs has had multiple surgeries, including one or more face lifts, nose jobs, and perhaps breast implants.

Cheryl Tiegs denies plastic surgery; local docs disagree
The face of former supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, age 60, is changing as she ages, but she says she hasn’t had plastic surgery.
Local cosmetic physicians are divided about whether Tiegs is telling all.
In a radio interview in Minnesota, where Tiegs was born, she flatly denied that she had altered her face surgically. The denial came in response to a question from radio show host Lori Barghini in March, when Barghini referred to speculation about cosmetic procedures:
“I point-blank asked her on the air and she said no,” Barghini said. “She is afraid of needles and she’s not injecting anything.”
Dr. Christopher Zachary, chairman of the Department of Dermatology at UC-Irvine, believes Tiegs.
Before-and-after photos that seem to show dramatic changes aren’t comparable because of differences in expression and lighting, he says:
These differences, although not obvious to the uncritical eye, are of immense importance, and have been used by some to demonstrate the illusion of improvement. In this case, you should absolutely believe her, and she looks great without any help from the likes of me.
Plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente, however, believes Tiegs has had multiple surgeries, including one or more face lifts, nose jobs (rhinoplasties), and perhaps breast implants:
Since the seventies … I’d wager she’s had a few rhinoplasties. She has probably also had a face lift or two as her cheeks don’t seem to descend the way they should have over time.
I found a few pics online indicating that she may have had breast implants in the late seventies or early-to-mid-eighties. At that time implants were smaller and easier to hide when a lady wanted to do so. She may have had them removed in more recent times as many women of the time did.
I would advise her to take it easy on any large scale further work. Redos can be more difficult. Skin care and sun avoidance do well for all.
Tiegs says she once tried Botox, but stopped after one set of injections. She told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune in February:
The following photos show the changes that have arousing speculation that Tiegs has in fact had plastic surgery.
Has Cheryl Tiegs Had Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery is an effort did by this more than 60 fantastic woman to maintain her perfect performance. Possibly more than two plastic surgeries that she did among others breast implants, nose job, lips job, check implant and more. Well, aging is a natural process, and plastic surgeries are the effort done by Cheryl Tiegs to have a good look.
Many fans and mass media wonder what kinds of plastic surgery procedures she underwent. Chery Tiegs looks so fantastic in her age. She has ever been interviewed by Oprah magazine and she said that all of those she did are a kind of nurturing and paying attention to have spirit. Further, she said that it is something fun to do.
However it is not about the process of beautifying the outside appearance. What the most important is something what’s going on inside. In brief, she stated that she never did any cosmetic surgery. In True Beauty, she openly reveals what’s on her mind about beauty. She said that beauty is skin deep, and she stated that her long-career is the result of what is the so called inner beauty.
Cheryl Tiegs is a talented American supermodel who has a very long career in modeling. She was born on September 25, 1947 and she started her career since she was 17.

Look at her photos since she was young until nearly 70 years now. There are so many changes and there is no people doubt that what she has is unnatural. Her face looks like so artificial. Some parties even extremely comment that what she had after the series of plastic surgery is a ‘disaster’.
