It just does something to your body.” Heaton says she was “in the prime” of her career so it just felt better and made me more confident to reconstruct my stomach, take care of all that stuff.”These days, she says she focuses on exercise, a plant-based diet and a little help to stay youthful. “I also love beauty products and I love fillers and Botox,” she says. “If you do it so that you still look like yourself, you just look like your best self. We’ve all seen people who have gone way over the top with that stuff. Obviously, that’s not what you want to look like.
