Debra Messingis setting the record straight about whether or not she’s gone under the knife.

TheWill & Graceactress, 50, had fans stirring earlier this week when she posted a photo of herself glammed up before heading to DoSomething’s Gala in New York City.

Noting her appearance, critics began slamming Messing for what they assumed was plastic surgery.

“Why can’t you just age gracefully, like you were?”one asked—another telling Messingshe was using too much “fillers” and therefore “starting to look a bit plastic.”

So what’s behind her fresh-faced look? “Getting tons of facials,” she said, creditingaesthetician Joanna Vargas. “And using every gadget on the market!”

Messing has been open about any cosmetic procedures she’s had in the past.

“I don’t care about that judgment,” she toldGood Housekeepingback in 2017 of her decision to getCoolSculpting(or cryolipolysis) — an FDA-cleared nonsurgical procedure thatcrystallizes fat cells in hard-to-work areas to kill them off and prevent them from growing back.

“Whether or not someone else wants to judge me because I want to go into a dermatologist’s office for an hour and have fat frozen off of my body and three months later I can feel a little bit better in a bathing suit — I don’t care,” said Messing. “I gave birth. I had a little pouch on my stomach that wouldn’t go away. We have hormones. Things happen. Things move. And I’m lazy! I don’t wanna do sit-ups for four hours a day. I’m a single mom and I work full-time.”

“It’s incredibly important to be open about doing things to improve how you feel about yourself,” she added. “The myth that there are people walking around Hollywood who were born perfect and age perfectly is very dangerous, especially for young girls. I’m not embarrassed at all.”
