Caroline Manzohas no problem staying away from plastic surgery and maintaining her “all natural” figure.

During Tuesday’sepisodeof herFood, Love, and Chaoscooking show, theReal Housewives of New Jerseyalum, 61, had a conversation with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi about not participating in the growing popularity of cosmetic procedures.

“This is all natural, thank you so much,” she said with a laugh while showing off her body. Mizrahi quickly added that she “looks amazing,” asking what her secret was.

“Walking,” Manzo replied. “Really just walking.”

Manzo — who shared she did have a tummy tuck in the past after childbirth — and Mizrahi then noted that neither of them have or will ever get any Botox or fillers in their faces.

“There’s a lot of lids for a lot of jars. Just go and be you,” Manzo explained. “I am afraid of it. For one moment I don’t believe that any of that is good for you. When you’re injecting it in your face, it’s just craziness.”

Manzo has often said that she’s never been interested in Botox, fillers or lip enhancements. However, back in 2019, she admitted that she underwent a facelift after losing weight, opening up about the situation during her son’sDear Albiepodcast.

“I’m going to be 58 and so those things start to play on your mind a little bit,” she told her sons, Chris and Albie Manzo, on the show. “Now I started to gain weight in the past year. Probably the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life. So, one day, shortly after New Year’s, I woke up and I decided that, you know what, I was spiraling and going to a bad headspace and I can’t do that for a multitude of reasons. It’s not good for me, it’s not good for the family, it’s not good for a million different reasons. And the first thing I decided to take control of was my weight.”

“I noticed I had on my neck what they call turkey neck, where my skin was just loose under my neck,” she said at the time. “It just freaked me out… I lost all that weight and then I started seeing my face in FaceTimes and I went and said to myself, ‘I’m going to the doctor to see what can be done about this.'”

Manzo said she then turned to her New Jersey-based plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Zubowski, who performed her tummy tuck 18 years prior.

“I went to go see him and he said to me, ‘Your neck is not going to snap back because of your age and it lost elasticity.’ So right then and there I said, ‘OK, let’s do a facelift,'” she recalled.
