Sharon Stone was almost persuaded to have a facelift.

The Basic Instinct actress is one of the rare Hollywood stars to have shunned plastic surgery, despite being offered the cosmetic procedure by several surgeons. She feels it’s sexier to look natural at the age of 55.

She told America’s NEW YOU magazine: “I can’t tell you how many doctors try to sell me a facelift. I’ve even gone as far as having someone talk me into it, but when I went over and looked at pictures of myself, I thought, what are they going to lift?

“Yes, I have come close — but frankly, I think that in the art of aging well there’s this sexuality to having those imperfections. It’s sensual.”

The sultry star isn’t worried about her face changing as she gets older because she has gained great cheekbones as she’s aged which compensate for other features that she has lost.

She said: “People are afraid of changing; that they’re losing something. They don’t understand that are also gaining something.”
