Jocelyne Wildenstein, dubbed the ‘catwoman’, has claimed that she has ‘never had plastic surgery and hates botox’. 

The Swiss socialite, 84, was famed for her dramatic transformation – but always claimed her looks were natural. 

And she has reiterated that claim in a new interview with The Sun on Tuesday, stating that not only has she not had work done, but she doesn’t like Botox and fillers made her swell up.

She said: ‘I haven’t had plastic surgery, I am scared of what can happen and I don’t like to have something heavy, sometimes it is a bit heavy and terrible.’

Jocelyne also said she has never had any fillers, and revealed friends of hers who have were not happy with them.

‘I don’t like the botox,’ she added. ‘Everyone has a different reaction to it. I have had Botox only twice. I don’t know if I am allergic, but when I had it, it did not go well with me. 

‘It was not a good result, my face swelled up.’

Jocelyn rose to notoriety in the ’90s during her high-profile divorce from art dealer Alec Wildenstein – and they reportedly received his-and-hers eye-lifts after only a year of marriage, according to a Vanity Fair article from 1998.

In the same VF story, friends mused that she was trying to look more feline and like a ‘jungle cat,’ as she and her then-husband were both fascinated by the creatures. 

At the time, Alec accused, ‘She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen.’

The Swiss socialite, 84, frequently denied getting work done over the years and told DailyMail.com in 2018, ‘I’ve always looked like Brigitte Bardot.’

Last month, Utah-based Dr. Jerry Chidester, or ‘Dr. Chiddy,’ weighed in on claims she had work done, explaining the procedures Jocelyn could have potentially underwent – as well as possible complications.

‘When a patient undergoes multiple or excessive procedures, especially to the face, it can lead to complications that may have both physical and psychological impacts in the short and long term,’ Dr. Chiddy warned. 

While Dr. Chiddy has not treated her personally, based on her visible transformation he believes she may have received repeated facelifts, as well as eyelid surgeries, also known as blepharoplasty, cheek and chin implants, and repeated dermal filler injections.

At one point, Jocelyn admitted to getting a facelift because her then-husband Alec ‘hates to be with old people,’ although she later said he told her ‘that I look very young.’ 

Dr. Chiddy also believes she’s had an upper lip lift, as well as rhinoplasty surgery. 

‘These repeated alterations can eventually disrupt a person’s natural facial proportions, as evidenced by her early pH๏τos prior to plastic surgery,’ Dr. Chiddy said.

‘Additionally, each of these procedures carries its own risks, and performing them repeatedly or in combination can compound those risks, affecting both overall appearance and health.’

‘While advancements in plastic surgery have made incredible transformations possible, it’s vital to recognise limits and respect the body’s natural structures to avoid complications,’ Dr. Chiddy said.

He explained that his role as a surgeon is ‘not just to enhance but also to advise responsibly, ensuring patients understand the long-term implications of any procedure.’
