Though she’s never admitted publicly that she’s having or has had any work done to her face, it certainly seems as if actress Heather Locklear has uncovered the fountain of youth, showing off a more youthful, wrinkle-free face on a public outing the other day.

The star, who has always been a very beautiful and stylish woman, is now promoting a made-for-TV film that will premiere on Lifetime.

However, there’s a sharp difference between how she looked one month ago and how she looked the other night, when she stopped by Regis and Kelly for an interview, as Too Fab also points out.

Not only did Heather look slimmer – but just as elegant as ever despite being dressed casually in jeans – but she also appeared about 10 years young. She is 49.

“Heather Locklear reemerged this week in New York – and she was looking better than she has in years!” Too Fab writes in a post simply called “Heather Locklear’s Transformation.”

“Sporting a slim physique and a line-free, flawless face, the 49-year-old looked happy and healthy as she made her way into a Manhattan hotel on Friday morning,” the e-zine says.

“While she’s always looked good, check out the difference just one month made ,” adds Too Fab.

It’s not the only media outlet to pick on the visible transformation either. Fans too are saying on dedicated forums that, while she’s still as gorgeous as before, she hardly resembles the Heather she was.

In fact, many say that she’s “a different Heather,” one for which it’s apparently more important to appear youthful than to grow old gracefully, even if that means losing one’s trademark looks.

In one of her older interviews, Locklear said she hadn’t gotten any work done but admitted that she wasn’t opposed to the idea, sometime further down the road.

“I think [plastic surgery] is great! Especially since I’m at an age now where all my friends talk about it. No one’s done it yet, but it’s all they talk about,” Heather said at the time, as per the Daily Mail.

“Sometimes I look at this [points under her chin]... I think it would be scary, but hey, I’m not against it at all. At all,” she added in the same interview.
