Courteney Cox got candid about her decision to dissolve all her fillers

Actress Courteney Cox recently opened up about getting facial fillers in the past and why she chose to stop.

The 54-year-old "Friends" star told PEOPLE that she wasn't confident in her appearance as she got older.

"I would say it's a common thing you go through as you age, especially in Hollywood," she told the outlet. "You have to accept getting older, and that's something that I had a hard time doing."

"[I tried] to keep up with time in a way that was anything other than maintenance," she continued. Nearly two years ago, she hit a point where she decided it was time to stop, she told the publication.

"I didn’t realize it until one day I kind of stepped back and went, 'Oh s----. I don’t look like myself,'" she shared.

Since dissolving the fillers, Cox has accepted aging and found confidence in her skin.

"So now I just embrace who I am and getting older with what God gave me, not what I was trying to change," she said.

"I kind of own everything. And the things that I am not as comfortable with myself, they're things that I continue to work on to grow and change," she continued. "I am at a stage of my life where it’s very easy to be comfortable with who I am and who I’ve become and who I strive to be."
