Plastic surgery experts weigh in on This Country star Daisy May Cooper’s dramatic transformation – after she admitted she could no longer use Botox

Fans of TV favorite Daisy May Cooper will know her as the unfiltered talented actor and hilarious comedian.

But these days she seems somewhat unrecognizable from her days as lovable idiot Kerry Mucklowe in the BAFTA-winning comedy This Country some seven years ago.

At a recent appearance, Cooper, 38, was seen looking noticeably different from her former self: She had a more defined bone structure and a crease-free forehead.

The actor has previously admitted to having cosmetic ‘tweaks’ including fillers, and this year she said she was advised to stop getting Botox injections for wrinkles as the effect on her facial expressions could limit acting roles.

Now experts have weighed in and speculated that a series of procedures, including skin remodeling and ‘under the chin’ treatment, are the likely explanation for her new appearance.

Dr. Fadi Hamadani, an aesthetic doctor, told MailOnline: ‘Daisy May Cooper has admitted to having Botox and filler treatments in the past, but it is likely that she has also had other aesthetic procedures.

‘Her skin looks tighter and firmer than before, suggesting she may be undergoing advanced skin remodeling treatments such as Morpheus8.

‘This popular treatment uses radiofrequency microneedling technology to lift, tighten and contour the skin, complementing the visible improvements in her skin tone and overall more sculpted appearance.

‘Daisy’s ‘under the chin’ area also seems more defined.

This could be the result of minimally invasive treatments such as FaceTiteTurbo, which works by delivering radiofrequency energy under the skin, melting fat and stimulating collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more sculpted appearance.”

She added: ‘The treatment is particularly effective for reducing sagging and sagging skin, especially in areas such as under the chin.

‘Because it is a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional facelift, it requires less downtime and leaves minimal scarring.’

Fillers – usually injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid – are offered in beauty clinics for as little as €75 to reduce wrinkles and add volume to the face.

The supposed age-defying procedure is becoming increasingly common among younger women.

Earlier this year, Cooper said she’d had fillers, but admitted it left her with “terrible pillow face” – when the face looks swollen – and left her “couldn’t move.” [her] sight’.

Meanwhile, Dr Paul Banwell, an award-winning plastic and cosmetic surgeon from Sussex, suggested Cooper may have undergone ‘collagen-boosting treatments’ such as polynucleotides.

‘Medical-grade skin care and injectable skin boosters – such as Profhilo and polynucleotides – have always been popular among celebrities and non-celebrities alike because they can be performed quickly with minimal recovery time.

‘They provide a more youthful appearance and shine.

‘Often with celebrities this involves a number of adjustments and/or surgical procedures combined with tailor-made skin care.’

Proponents say polynucleotides offer a “natural” alternative to other traditional “touch-ups” such as Botox and filler.

It typically uses purified and sterilized DNA molecules extracted from salmon or trout sperm, known as polynucleotides, which have anti-inflammatory effects.

When polynucleotides, DNA molecules extracted from fish sperm, are injected into human skin, fibroblasts are activated.

Fibroblasts are stretchy molecules found in the skin that help maintain the structural framework of the tissue. As we age, these fibroblasts decrease.

So when the polynucleotides are injected under the eyes, into the cheekbones or into the neck, it theoretically ‘rejuvenates’ the skin.

Dr. Banwell added: ‘Daisy has said she had a weight loss transformation during the Covid lockdown, which would also have caused changes to her face.

‘For example, weight loss can make our cheekbones and chin more noticeable, which may also have caused some changes in Daisy’s facial features.’

“I think she looks fantastic.”

In June she told the BBC podcast How to be in the spotlight her agent forbade her from having any more Botox or fillers because she was afraid she “wouldn’t be able to act.”

She said: ‘I had Botox and then fillers.

‘It was just the worst, I looked terrible. There I am on the One Show and I have this horrible pillow face. I can’t move my face.

‘My agent said to me, ‘You have to quit because you can’t fucking act.’

‘I literally couldn’t move my eyebrows. It killed me because I loved not having creases in my forehead.

‘I stopped doing that. But I haven’t had any surgery.

‘I went in for a consultation for a tummy tuck and the surgeon just scared me.

“There’s that dog-ear thing you can get: these flaps that come from the side.

‘I just thought: I can’t do that. I’ll use my Spanx to hold all of that in.”

Discussing her weight fluctuations, she also told the podcast, “It got to the point where I was so overweight at the time that I was really miserable.

‘I wasn’t happy with that weight.

‘I was given medication for depression, Quetiapine. It slows your metabolism to a crawl and keeps you hungry 24/7.

‘I was put on it just before I started This Country. What people didn’t know is that I was always a size 8 to 10.

‘When I started taking that medicine, I got a balloon.

‘It wasn’t until I made the decision to come off that people said, “Oh my God, she’s so different and she’s losing all this weight.”

“That was always who I was, so it was great to lose all that s***.”
