Plastic surgery fan Melanie Griffith looks surprisingly fresh faced

Make-under: Melanie Griffith was pictured looking remarkably fresh-faced and natural on the set of her pilot The American Housewife this week


Her trout pout has made her a cautionary tale for anyone considering plastic surgery.

But Melanie Griffith has now landed herself a starring role in a TV series and embraced a fresher look to go with her all-American part.

The 54-year-old looked uncharacteristically natural when when she was spotted on the set of the new show This American Housewife in Vancouver, Canada.


After overcoming her long-running addictions to drink and drugs with a stint in rehab in April, the former Working Girl starlet looks happier and healthier than she has in a long time.

Plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn told RadarOnline: 'She seems to be letting some of her overdone plastic surgery fade, along with getting a small nip here, or a tuck there to keep looking youthful.

'Her face, although likely smoothed with injectable fillers like Restylane and laser treatments, looks less puffy than before.

'I suspect she's had some Botox to her forehead and had an upper eyelid lift, both of which have contributed to a refreshed, youthful appearance.'

Miss Griffith appears to have made frequent trips to the plastic surgeon over the years and has become notorious for her over-plumped 'trout pout' lips.

But she looked remarkably low-key when she was seen filming the new drama with Fox Television Studios in the U.S.

'I think overall Melanie looks better than she has in years,' added Dr Youn, who said that the next move for her should be to take out the implants from her lips.

This American Housewife, in which Melanie stars as Leila alongside husband Antonio Banderas, is due to be released in 2012.

She plays a happy housewife who lives with her up-and-coming politician husband and three successful grown children.

Her perfect life is disrupted by conversations with an inner voice that tell her the things she does not want to know.
