Christina Aguilera, now 44, recently graced the pages of Carcy magazine in a new photoshoot that left fans amazed by her youthful appearance. Since early in her career, Aguilera has been open about cosmetic treatments. Yet many viewers wondered how she manages to look so much like her 20-year-old self.
On X, one fan quipped, “She’s in her 20s.” Another added, “I wonder who her doctor is.” Some even called her a modern “Benjamin Button” for appearing to age backwards.
Lindsay Lohan and a Growing Trend
Aguilera is far from alone. Lindsay Lohan, 38, has drawn similar praise after starring in Netflix’s Our Little Secret late last year. Observers note that a growing number of stars show little to no visible signs of aging or cosmetic work.
Welcome to the ‘Invisible Era’
Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Prem Tripathi calls this shift the “invisible era.” In an August video viewed over 6.2 million times, he described it as a time when cosmetic work becomes undetectable. He said this era fulfills a long-awaited goal: making aesthetic enhancements look completely natural.
Experts Say It’s Nothing New
Dermatologists, however, say we’ve already been in this period for some time. Dr. Anthony Rossi, who hosts the “Give Good Face” podcast, explained that today’s treatments are very low-key. He said they avoid exaggerated results and stiff features. “It’s more subtle. It’s sophisticated,” he said, adding that New York doctors led the way and others are now following.
A Shift Toward Natural Beauty
Many specialists hope the invisible era will change how people view plastic surgery. Dr. Brooke Jaffe told USA TODAY that people once saw cosmetic work as a status symbol. Today, she said, most want a natural look. They aim for results that do not scream “plastic surgery.”
Dr. Jaffe also stressed that true, undetectable beauty relies on more than injections. Diet, exercise, and healthy habits matter too. She noted that avoiding smoking and heavy drinking supports long-term skin health.
The Importance of Honesty
As treatments become harder to spot, transparency grows more vital. Mental health experts say celebrities can help by openly discussing their procedures. Psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis warned that secretive cosmetic work can create unrealistic beauty ideals. She urged people to accept themselves rather than compare to polished images.
Dr. Rossi echoed this view, saying no procedure can fix deep self-image issues. “You need to love yourself,” he said. Plastic surgery can boost confidence, but self-worth must come from within.
