The Real Housewives of Miami gals haven't been afraid to open up about their plastic surgery horror stories, but Bethenny Frankel wants to make it clear that she is not a regular when it comes to cosmetic surgery.

"I am not doing Botox on the regular because I am not one of those people that walks up to a mirror and says, 'Hmmm...let me look at myself, let me see what I need to fix, let me see what I can do,'" she said on her new talk show, refuting speculation from surgeons that she's had injections. "That's not really me and I believe in everything in moderation."

That doesn't mean she hasn't had any Botox in the past—and isn't opposed to getting some in the future. "I am not saying I haven't ever done [it]," she said. "I am not saying I wouldn't do Botox."

She also isn't discouraging other females to take the plastic plunge if it will help with self-esteem. "If you want to do something to make yourself feel good, do it," she said. "Of course, take precautions, ask your doctor, read up on something. You want to know what you are doing. But I eat Cheetos, I use artificial sweeteners, I don't do it all the time, once in a while and that's what I believe in, balance."
