UNITED STATES- As US First Lady celebrates becoming 50, she says she would not dismiss plastic surgery.
"Right now, I don't imagine that I would go that route, but I've also learnt to never say never."
She turned 50 on Friday and US First lady Michelle Obama said she intends to make it a banner year.
In an interview with People magazine, she said she had never felt more confident in herself and who she was as a woman.
And one of the first gifts she received after turning 50 was a free membership card, courtesy of the American Association of Retired Persons.
"Excited to join Barack in the 50+ club today… check out my @AARP card!" she wrote on Twitter, next to a photo of herself grinning and showing off the card.
Although her confidence is high, the first lady and perennial fitness advocate said she just cannot rule out any future nips and tucks, the Mail Online reported.
She said in the People magazine interview: "Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves.
"Right now, I don't imagine that I would go that route, but I've also learnt to never say never."
And what is her message to other women her age? Stay healthy.
Mrs Obama said she has not missed a health check-up, including mammograms and pap smears. She has also had a colonoscopy.
With Mr Barack Obama, 52, well into his second and final term, she said she is more relaxed as his days as a candidate are over.
She said: "That layer is gone now. It gives me a little more room to breathe."
Asked whether she has peaked at 50, Mrs Obama joked that being first lady is "pretty high up".
She said she has always felt that her life is "ever-evolving" and she does not have the right to "just sit on my talents or blessings".
She said: "I've got to keep figuring out ways to have an impact, whether as a mother or as a professional or as a mentor to other kids."
She said by the time they leave the White House in January 2017, their eldest daughter, now 15, will be in college. The other daughter, Sasha, 12, will not be far behind.
