Ben Affleck’s recent appearance has sparked rumors of cosmetic procedures after the 51-year-old actor showed off a smooth, clean-shaven face that some believe is the result of Botox and possibly fillers. His refreshed look gained attention after his appearance on a Netflix livestream, where Tom Brady was roasted, prompting speculation that Affleck had undergone some form of cosmetic enhancement.
Despite the speculation, plastic surgeons say Affleck’s new look likely isn’t due to a facelift, but rather the use of Botox and fillers. Dr. Raja Mohan, a plastic surgeon in Texas, told DailyMail.com that Affleck’s smoother forehead and absence of crow’s feet suggest Botox treatment. He noted that the areas on Affleck’s face that previously showed signs of aging now look smooth and shiny, consistent with Botox use.
Additionally, Dr. Mohan pointed out that the loss of volume in Affleck’s cheek and jawline areas, often indicative of aging, appears less prominent, suggesting the use of fillers. However, the overall change isn’t as dramatic as would be expected from a facelift, indicating that Affleck likely hasn’t undergone such a procedure.
Affleck’s clean-shaven look could be related to his role in the upcoming film “The Accountant 2,” but even without a beard, his face appears significantly smoother than in previous years. Comparisons with older images from 2016 and 2022, where he shows visible forehead lines and crow’s feet, highlight the difference between his current appearance and earlier ones.
Sources close to Affleck told DailyMail.com that while he had Botox before his recent appearance, he hasn’t had fillers or surgery. According to these sources, Botox is common among celebrities, especially ahead of high-profile events. The same source indicated that Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, encouraged him to “polish his looks,” possibly influencing his decision to get Botox.
