Boris Becker – Facelift or Not?
Step aside Lindsay Davenport because here’s another tennis star who has admitted to getting a bit of help – although he may have been joking. We’ll never know!
Boris Becker made headlines a couple of years ago when he admitted to getting a facelift. He had it done when he was 43 years old, which is few years younger than the average patient who is usually in their late 40s to early 50s. He made the admission on a UK television show filmed at the Olympic venue, O2 arena, where he stated
“It’s a dark arena here so you don’t see my wrinkles. I also had a facelift recently and I colored my hair.”
However, the former Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist said it with a smirk, so we’re not sure if he was joking or not.
Did you know that a facelift can help you look about, on average, 12 years younger? That’s what a US plastic surgeon discovered after studying over a hundred facelift patients.

Asked by Lobb how he managed to look so good for his age, Becker, who was being interviewed in London's O2 Arena, replied: 'It's a dark arena here so you don't see my wrinkles. I also had a facelift recently and I coloured my hair, so...
'I turned 43 this week, and winning Wimbledon was 25 years ago, and I do feel very much like I'm 43 right now.'
The tennis champion was interviewed by Lobb as he searched for the best ball girls and boys for next year's Wimbledon championship at the O2's ATP World Tour finals.
Becker has been enjoying life with wife Lilly Kerssenberg since she gave birth to the German sportsman's son Amadeus in February.
He is also father to sons Noah, 16 and ten-year-old Elias from his marriage to ex-wife Barbara Feltus, as well as a ten-year-old daughter Anna, from an infamous brief encounter with a model at a London restaurant.
Lilly, who married Boris in Switzerland last year, has said she is looking forward to having more children with the German sportsman.
