The 46-year-old actress is looking good despite her age because of getting some cosmetic help. Since achieving stardom for her role in Mighty Aphrodite at age 29, Sorvino has since looked fabulous because of her involvement with plastic surgery. First, it can be observed that the Mimic actress is a regular Botox user.

In addition to Botox, it can be noticed that she has had something done to her jaw because it looks more defined in the present. With this comes the possibility of a chin implant. Facial plastic surgery expert Dr. Paul Nassif also believes that the actress may have undergone a rhinoplasty procedure as well, in addition to Botox and chin implant.
