“She looks pretty natural at this point as you’d expect in her 20s. By 1987 there is potentially a bit of botox and possibly cheek filler, although she does have quite naturally high cheekbones," the Harley Street Injectables founder explained.
Around 1990
"By 1990 you can tell that she’s had botox because if you look at the angle of the brow, it’s lifted quite a bit," Henshaw admitted.

“Her cheekbones are more prominent, suggesting lip filler and her lips have had filler, giving her the fuller mouth," she continued of Madonna, who was in her early 30s at the time.

“In the early 2010s, the tighter skin suggests a mini facelift and the high eyebrows suggest a brow lift," Henshaw noted.
2009
“The smooth forehead and full lips and cheeks suggest Botox plus fillers," she added.
2018
“As you get towards the end of the decade, there is evidence of a full face lift," Henshaw explained. "The swollen neck, in 2020, would suggest fat-transfer neck surgery, as filler alone would not cause this much swelling."
"Previous suspected facelifts left her looking gaunt but the 2020 pictures and the most recent ones indicate a possible neck lift and fat transfer to the face, resulting in the fuller cheeks," she stated.
2023
"The very taut skin at Sunday’s Grammys, suggests she is post-surgery. You can see the angle of the lateral brow is very lifted. No signs of jowls or marionette lines and very little nasolabial lines," Henshaw concluded.
