Joan Vassos has been candid about aging. But has the Golden Bachelorette star had any plastic surgery done? Keep reading to find out more on the topic.
Golden Bachelorette Star Says Aging Is ‘Very Different’ These Days
Most reality shows focus on young people in their 20s or 30s, but the Bachelor franchise knew there was an untapped market in the older generation. They launched a senior citizen version of ABC’s popular dating show in 2023. Gerry Turner, 72, was the franchise’s first Golden Bachelor. Millions of viewers tuned in to watch him propose and later marry contestant Theresa Nist, 70.
Unfortunately, their marriage ended after just a few months. However, ABC went ahead with plans for a female-led Golden Bachelorette spinoff. They chose one of Gerry’s contestants, Joan Vassos, to lead the first season. The season kicked off on September 18.
Joan is a 61-year-old school administrator from Maryland looking to find the second great love of her life after losing her husband of over 30 years to cancer in 2021.
She told CNN in May that the perception of aging and being old is changing. “Growing old now is very different. We were all very fit, we exercised, we shared great stories about raising our kids and we learned so much from each other. There’s a lot of knowledge that we have inside of us because we’ve lived life,” she said.
The ABC reality star added, “In our culture, I feel like growing old is not a dignified thing. You’re just supposed to kind of fade in the back, take a backseat to the next generation. I’m hoping that we change that a little bit.”
Has Joan Vassos, 61, Had Plastic Surgery?
Joan Vassos may embrace aging, but does that mean she hasn’t had a little nip/tuck here and there? She previously confessed to biyearly Opus fractional laser treatments to reduce “tiny lines” on her face and lightens her “freckles and discoloration.”
Reza Nassab, a consultant plastic surgeon at CLNQ Clinic, told Express that Joan Vassos’ regimen likely goes beyond that. The plastic surgeon praised the Golden Bachelorette‘s appearance. “Joan’s appearance and new fresh profile are very sharp and refreshing. She looks full of energy, healthy, confident and ready for a great season, with little tweaks aesthetically pleasing angles can be enhanced and improved subtlety.”
However, he added, “Subtle aesthetic treatments can include Morpheus8, Micro-needling, dermal fillers, tweakments and more to improve and brighten your complexion.”
