Supermodel Cindy Crawford has sensationally credited her enduring good looks with cosmetic surgery rather than natural beauty. The catwalk siren, who turned 40 this year, slams suggestions a youthful complexion can be preserved with diet and skin creams, insisting the only sure-fire way to combat ageing is going under the knife.

She tells Gala magazine, "I'm not going to lie to myself: past a certain age, creams work on the texture of you skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, Botox and collagen. I owe the quality of my skin to a cosmetic surgeon."
