Renee Zellweger was the weirdest for me. Legitimately looks like a different person.

She was absolutely stunning.

Sorry for my post a mod was forced to delete as NSFW. Apparently I'm a complete fucking moron that can't think in terms of an HR rep.

She is 53, that’s how it works

That not Grimes? If so she's 34.

She almost doesn't look like she's had plastic surgery. She only looks like a less good looking woman.

 

[Rest]

The music that put her into the spotlight was a nice listen. Had a very ethereal, bewitching sound to it.




I hope she finds true joy someday. Brief moments of happiness can be purchased with money, but that’s all fleeting. The surgery won’t be enough.

That's gonna be a skip from me. Sounds like bad, generic 80s music.

She looks the same except for the lack of eyebrows and her eyes got smaller. I guess that's due to w facelift or 2?

It's like a Final Fantasy developer was asked to create a generic character to feature in the demo for the new game engine.

Bizarre.

I'm not even joking when I say this, but how is that legal? Is there really no recourse for doctors who are allowed to do this to people?

People are voluntarily asking to get their faces cut up. There aren't ethics or moral hurdles to overcome because it's big business.

He spent years getting his face beat in as an amateur boxer. He doesn't have plastic surgery so much as facial reconstruction.

I though we were talking about Rene Zelwinger

He’s still a man I wouldn’t want to meet in a dark ally. Seems to be one of the real ones in Hollywood and can put a hurt on you.

No man is more fearsome than Mike Tyson tho. Even at his age still.

The sad thing is they probably would have looked good into old age if they hadn't done it.

They still would have been charlatans, but nobody's perfect.

On a long enough timeline, everyone ends up taking the Bog Pill.

It's a fucking fact.

Edit: Also, Grimes is getting fucking stupid. I used to be attracted to her, but, now... I don't even know. Whatever. She does her, etc.

As a straight gentleman, I can see that they were rather handsome gentleman prior, why would they do this to themselves.

I find it genuinely so sad & the people doing this to mentally ill people should be thrown in prison imo.

Without politicizing the subject, I will say that it can be argued (and has been argued for a long time now) that assisted suicide is humane and compassionate. This, however, seems sadistic and immoral. Again, that's just my personal thoughts on the matter.

I wish my mom would grow old gracefully and naturally. Getting hard to look at pictures of her with the botox injections and inches past shoulder length dark brown hair at 67 now.

I'm all for assisted suicide to end pain and suffering. My grandmother on my father's side had reached out to Dr. Jack Kevorkian when she was in the final stages of her colon cancer for a consult but didn't go through with it.

Even thought Escape from L.A. wasnt great, John Carpenter got one thing right in that movie, the future of celebrities will all look like plastic dolls,

Another (semi)famous case of plastic surgery killing a career was Jennifer Grey (of Dirty Dancing and more importantly, Red Dawn and Ferris Bueller, fame). She had a prominent schnozz and after she hacked it down, it totally transformed her look. Kinda hard to find a really good apple to apples photo from when she was young, but this is decent...

And the really sad thing is that she WAS STILL PRETTY, just lost the visual recognition and kinda blurred into all the other hollywood starlets. Even did a TV sitcom where she played herself and mocked it.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I remember seeing HBO docs growing up about people with bifurcated tongues and genitals. I also remember a blurb making the rounds online in the 2000s of a guy who was super into body modification. It was fake but they said he amputated one finger to attach it to the same finger on his other hand, making it incredibly long. He also supposedly amputated his willing brother's arm and attached it to his own chest, creating 3 arms. That stuff messed me up as a kid. I largely forgot about it until more recent stories have popped up about body modification.

Recent example, that for me, is unsettling:

Meet the Men Paying Six Figures to Get Taller—by Having Their Legs Broken

A growing number of men are undergoing a radical and expensive surgery to grow anywhere from three to six inches. The catch: It requires having both your femurs broken. GQ goes inside the booming world of leg lengthening.

www.gq.com

Elf ears, tails, extra limbs... Deus Ex missed the mark slightly, but I do think these things are only going to become more common.

She just look old and is 53 now, it doesn't help that she lost a lot of fat on her face. Not everybody is going to age like Tom Cruise.

See, Tom Cruise is just an example of SUCCESSFUL plastic surgery. All the others are trying to do what he does but fail. Thats the issue here, the results are so inconsistent, the goal is literally unobtainable (to look like you were 18), so it is just an endless pit of damage.

Sure, some folks can age well with strict discipline and great genetics. But I bet even the Elizabeth Hurleys of the world are getting stuff done, they have just dodged the worst of the complications. I used to hold up Sandra Bullock as a great example of surgery with minimal effects but even she has succumbed now.

Rose Mcgowan

The picture on the left is from 1998 and the one from the right is 2020.
Rose Mcgowan was in a car accident in 2007.

It happened in 2007 when a young actress was sitting in the backseat wearing sunglasses. The car got into an accident and the glasses broke damaged the right side of the face and eyes.
“After the accident, my appearance changed so much that I could hardly recognize myself in the mirror,” Rose admitted.

Now McGowan will never look the same again. Due to the fact that the actress’s eyes suffered the most, her facial features lost their former feature.

In addition to physical injuries, the girl went through a long stage of psychological rehabilitation. After a long depression, the actress realized that an accident could put an end to her career.

Has Tom Cruise had work done? It doesn't look like it to me you can see the crows feet around his eyes. I think he just looks damn good for his age, well, that and his Cleared Theta Clear level and the baby blood he drinks daily.

I think it's safe to assume every actor has had some work done, the thing is when it works we don't notice it very much.

I knew posting this there was a big time gap. Celebrities tend to get plastic surgery as they age. I didn't know she was in a car accident, so I looked it up after you posted this and found a Q&A on ew.com
Here is the article, https://ew.com/books/2018/01/30/rose-mcgowan-plastic-surgery-book/

5. She says she lied to the press about the real reason behind her plastic surgery
When McGowan’s appearance changed in the late ’00s, there was widespread media speculation that she had gone under the knife. At the time, the actress explained that the change was a result of reconstructive surgery she underwent following a bad car accident.
But in her new book, she reveals that was not the case. McGowan now says her altered appearance was the result of a medical procedure gone wrong. During an operation to correct a lifelong sinus problem, she says, the surgeon accidentally punctured the skin below her right eye. The mistake forced her to have reconstructive surgery, leaving the eye looking “slightly pinched.” She then had surgery on her left eye to keep the look even.
“I told my publicists what happened and they said to say it was a car accident,” McGowan says. “Looking back, I don’t know why it mattered but I took that advice. And so when I was asked by the press, that became the party line.”

Excuse you. Fillers and Botox are amazing if you’re not an idiot with them!

I didn't know she had surgery until I looked it up either. To me, those pictures look like a woman getting older more then any sort of example of plastic surgery.

He’s got to.

He’s in his late 50s and his cheeks look so unnaturally soft and puffy.

He got a tons of dental work done too. Check out his old pics from the early 80s when he got his first roles.

Some of the celebs who look retarded after tons of surgery may also not even be totally their failt. Their doctor probably shows them some pics of best case scenario, they get surgery, and it turns out it’s joker smile. There’s no way these old bags get shown joker face pics and the actress says ya they still wanna do it.
