For several years now, every public appearance of the Hollywood actress Meg Ryan, who was the star of American cinema in the 90s, has been accompanied by endless discussions of her changed appearance. Ryan's face, which has undergone surgery or cosmetic procedures, is very different from the face that viewers are used to.
Plastic surgeon Mark Youssef said what, in his opinion, Meg Ryan was doing with her face, and what plastic surgery or other procedures could have so dramatically affected her appearance.
In an interview with Hollywood Life, Youssef noted that the actress looked much better before plastic surgery:
“She overdid it and couldn't stop in time. This is why people are so shocked, because she has become unlike the Meg Ryan that we all loved. "
Filler or lipofilling in the cheek area
The most obvious thing that a plastic surgeon says catches your eye is filler or lipofilling (filling with your own fat) in the cheek area. Too much of it, because the cheeks have become massive, overly elastic and too wide.
The so-called clown smile or "Joker smile" was formed. When the actress smiles, the inner filling of the cheeks rises up and widens the face, which deforms the features and makes the eyes smaller. This is also the reason for the appearance of its rough features, which have lost their former smoothness and softness.
Plastic nose and lips
According to the surgeon's remarks, the tip of the actress's nose looks narrower than it used to be, so we can talk about a small rhinoplasty. It is absolutely certain that there was and is contouring of lips, which have acquired a different shape and greater volume.
The lips are the first thing that Meg Ryan corrected before the radical changes in her face. In the early 2000s, her small mouth suddenly became "duck" where the lips didn't just get bigger. The upper lip got inverted and became almost straight. This often happens when genetically small lips receive too much filler for themselves.
Botox in the forehead and brow area
Also, the actress does botox in the forehead and eyebrow zone, which is striking. When she smiles or laughs, her forehead does not move, so the facial expressions of the upper face are frozen. Due to the fact that the cheeks rise, and the forehead does not move upward, the eyes turn into slits, the eyebrows look drooping, and the upper eyelids droop even more. In addition to this, wrinkles around the eyes are accentuated.
Facelift and laser resurfacing
The surgeon does not rule out a general facelift. In all likelihood, Ryan did a facelift, as evidenced by the effect of the mask and the difference in the structure of the skin of the face and neck, which is visible from certain angles.
Actively glowing skin speaks of a possible laser resurfacing procedure, which always gives the skin a strong, almost glossy glow.
Unfortunately, says Mark Youssef, addiction to plastic surgery is a real problem in Hollywood and beyond. It lies in the rejection of their appearance and the fear of aging, which push people to endless transformations of their appearance, from which they never get the full satisfaction.
