        Before is his (mostly) natural face.

        After looks like he’s wearing a mask of himself over his own face

      There’s a classic survivorship bias where people think all Botox is bad because we always see the obvious gaffs and just assume that good Botox is natural. Botox is a lot more common than people think, it’s usually just a touch-up

      That being said. It puts me off how often you see celebrities with botched jobs. You would think that with all the resources at their disposal they would get the best. And if the best cant do it at least 90% of the time there’s no way you’re putting me under the needle of whoever I can afford.

      Not that I really have a strong desire to get Botox right now, but I don’t know who I’ll be in the future.

        The thing about plastic surgery is that even if it’s well-done, it doesn’t last very long. A person’ face continues to change, sometimes even more rapidly than would otherwise have happened because of all the damage and trauma caused by the surgery itself. So when you see someone with “good” plastic surgery, you’ve really just captured them at that brief moment in time before it all goes to shit.

        If there’s anything other than simply “very damaged personalities,”I think it’s probably a sense that as celebrities they need to freeze time or even turn it back to stay competitive in their field. When cosmetic procedures work, it’s because doctors communicate the limits of what can be achieved while passing for natural, the patient accepts that, and the work is done well. If any of those pillars breaks, it looks bad. If any of them breaks for a celebrity, it goes viral.
