Venus Williams is serving up her thoughts on plastic surgery.
The tennis star, 45, shared that while she’s remained natural so far, she would undergo cosmetic surgery in the future if she thought it was something that would boost her confidence.
“If I felt like I wanted to feel better about myself, and that’s what made me feel better,” she told Marie Claire U.K. in an interview published Aug. 4., “I would totally do it.”
However, the Wimbledon champ noted that at least for now, she’s content with who she is, adding “I would prefer to keep my look.”
Even if Williams isn’t looking to make any changes to her face or body, she shared that she wouldn’t judge someone who is considering altering their appearance, acknowledging the pressure society puts on people to look their best.
“So many people are judging other people,” she said. “But if it makes somebody feel good that’s all that matters.”

Ultimately, she’s focused on what her body can do rather than how it looks. Despite quipping that her “knees have always been aged 80,” she’s not retiring from the court just yet. In an April 1 interview at the Miami Open, where she attended as a spectator, she shared, “Let’s be honest, I’m still keeping my own game ready, just in case.”
And while she’s not sure of what’s to come, she said that she’s keeping her options open.
“I really don’t have a plan for the first time in my life. As an athlete and a player, there’s a whole plan [like], ‘I’m gonna play this tournament and play these tournaments so I’d be ready for that tournament.'” she explained. “Now it’s like, ‘Oh, I love playing. I’m gonna play every day.’ And if I feel ready to play, then I’ll play.”
