Martha Stewart has firmly decided against undergoing surgical procedures to maintain a youthful appearance. The 81-year-old recently made history as the oldest-ever cover star for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

In an interview with the New York Times journalist Ruth La Ferla, Stewart emphasized her commitment to continuous personal growth, stating, "When you're through changing, you're through."

When La Ferla drew a parallel between Stewart and Madonna, who has faced criticism for her apparent use of plastic surgery at the 2023 Grammys, the lifestyle guru swiftly dismissed any comparison to the iconic performer, acknowledging Madonna's unparalleled talent, stating, "I would never compare myself to someone like Madonna. She is a talent like no other."

"But as a performer, she needs to keep reinventing herself. And it's much more difficult for her to alter herself without altering her face. I don't want to do that," she added.

She noted their divergent lifestyles, saying, "There's another huge difference between me and Madonna: She is wearing pointy bras and weird clothes. I'm teaching you how to roll dough."

In 2022, Stewart addressed the widespread rumors surrounding her alleged facelift, firmly stating, "I have never had plastic surgery. You can say that. No knife on my face, neck, or back."

Contrary to opting for cosmetic procedures, as she previously revealed to Page Six Style, the octogenarian icon attributes her youthful appearance to her regimen of homemade green juices and a diligent skincare routine using Clé de Peau and Mario Badescu products. Notably, Stewart has been a loyal customer of Badescu's salon since 1967, regularly indulging in facials.

Regarding her appearance in photographs, Stewart shared her tips for looking her best, saying, "'Project' the jaw to look up towards the camera." "Also, make sure you are optimizing lighting."
