Why She Opted For Fillers
The 58-year-old claims that in her attempts to go back in time as a young lady, she was unable to realize just how far she had gone with fillers.
On Realizing How Fillers Made Her Look
Cox thought she looked OK after getting the fillers at first, but it took her a long time to realize how “wrong” she actually looked.
The Effect Of Fillers
According to the scream actor, she thought she was getting old when she was actually young.
In her words, “That’s just a bummer, a waste of time; it’s a domino effect, it’s like you don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more cause you look normal to yourself and you look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh, that looks good.'”
She’s Thankful Fillers Are Removable
She continued, “You don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person and just doing too many fillers and then having to have them removed, which thank god they are removable, but I think I messed up a lot and now luckily I can, I was able to reverse most of that, and now I’m actually just older.”

She Once Chased Youthfulness
She revealed to the Sunday Times Style magazine that there “was a time when you go, “Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older.” And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years.”
The Injections Made Her Look Weird
She didn’t realize, however, that the injections and other things she was doing to her face were making her seem pretty weird.
