This week, people are paying a lot of attention to Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney. The actor showed off a new hairstyle that made him almost unrecognizable.
The 63 – year – old was seen this weekend with a head of dyed – brown hair. He made this change for an upcoming role in the Broadway show “Good Night and Good Luck”.
However, aesthetics experts have long been interested in Clooney’s appearance changes that are not just about his hair. Top plastic surgeon Dr Jonny Betteridge said that the Oscar – winning actor might have had a face and neck lift to keep looking young.
Dr Betteridge has 323,000 followers on his Instagram page. In a clip he posted there, he pointed out the telltale sign of Clooney’s operation – “characteristic changes around his ears”.
Dr Betteridge said, “What really catches my eye is the distance between the tragus (the flap of cartilage at the opening of the ear canal) and the start of the sideburn. This shows that there has been some repositioning of facial tissue.”
Specifically, Dr Betteridge thought that the “ER” star had a “deep plane” face lift. This kind of face lift moves the ligaments in the face that are under the deep layers of skin and muscle. It can tighten the whole face more effectively.
Traditional face lifts usually focus more on the lower two – thirds of the face and tighten the skin above the muscle.
In the UK, a deep plane face lift can cost between £15,000 and £40,000.
In the clip, Dr Betteridge also said that Clooney’s acting friend and colleague, 61 – year – old Brad Pitt, might have had the same procedure to look younger. He asked his followers, “Are Brad Pitt and George Clooney using the same surgeons? Because they look great for their 60s.”
Dr Betteridge compared pictures of both actors taken 23 years apart. He showed that Clooney’s signs of aging seemed to disappear. He said, “The facial tissues start to sag. Especially, there is looseness in the lower face and neck area.”
Then, the surgeon showed his followers a recent picture of the two men taken last year. In the picture, their skin looks much tighter.
