Meg Ryan stunned fans with her latest red carpet appearance, with many questioning whether the beloved rom-com star had gone too far with her cosmetic surgery. Experts believe that the 63-year-old actress has undergone multiple cosmetic procedures and the results have dramatically altered her once natural looks.
In the 1990s, Meg Ryan captivated audiences with her girl-next-door charm. But at the recent Oscars, she looked almost unrecognisable. Her smooth but stiff facial features and prominent cheekbones have led to widespread speculation that she has had excessive fillers, botox and plastic surgery.
One Hollywood insider described her face as “a frozen mask” and her cheekbones as looking “comically exaggerated”. The dramatic change has sparked fears that her cosmetic treatment may be doing more harm than good.
Seattle-based plastic surgeon Dr. Jawad Sajjan believes that Ryan most likely had lower eyelid surgery, but the results of the surgery did not go as expected. He noted an unnatural crease in her neck, a sign of a neck lift that might not have tightened the muscles properly. Dr. Nicholas Jones, an Atlanta-based plastic surgeon, agreed that Ryan most likely had a facelift, nose job, eye surgery and extensive injections of fillers. He noticed that the structure of her nose seemed to have changed, possibly due to cartilage damage from previous nose job surgery.
Experts have also debated whether Ryan’s current appearance is due to overuse of fillers or a failed facelift. Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a plastic surgeon in San Francisco, believes the swelling of her facial structure indicates an over-reliance on fillers rather than a proper facelift. “When you rely too much on fillers, the result is an unnatural, puffy look.” Kaplan explains. He thinks a well-executed facelift, combined with a fat transplant, could have restored her youthful glow without looking overdone.
Ryan has never publicly acknowledged having cosmetic surgery, but fans and industry insiders have speculated about her changing looks for years. In past interviews, she has dismissed the rumours and insisted she doesn’t mind criticism about her appearance. Some Hollywood insiders believe Ryan may be trying to freshen up her image in order to revive her acting career. She was once one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry, but her appearances in mainstream films have dwindled.
A source close to the entertainment industry said her transformation could be part of her attempted comeback. However, they also pointed out the irony of the situation, which is that the drastic changes to her face may only make it worse.
While some fans continue to defend Ryan’s right to beautify her appearance as she wishes, others lament the loss of her natural beauty. Whether she will respond to the constant speculation is uncertain, but this much is clear – her recent image has sparked a fierce debate about Hollywood’s obsession with youth and beauty.
