Billy Crystal Plastic Surgery

American actor, writer, producer, comedian and film director Billy Crystal (real name: William Edward Crystal) is rumored to have had plastic surgery to turn back the hands of time.


Billy Crystal, 65, at the 84th Academy Awards in 2012 turned heads not just because he was hosting… Crystal showed off a drastically different face than he did back in the past!

In detail, Crystal's eyes, cheeks and lips looked suspiciously puffy. His cheekbones were abnormally large and his forehead was unnaturally smooth without any laugh lines. On the other hand, he sported a sagging neck and jaw line!

It is obvious that Crystal had a botched facelift on his cheeks and eyes while the botox smoothed out almost all visible lines. 

Plastic surgeon experts speculate that Billy Crystal had the following plastic surgery procedures: dermal fillers or fat grafting, facelift, eye lift and botox injections.

The website Plastic Celebrity said: "The allegations suggest Mr. Crystal has undergone a minor facelift, an eye lift and facial fillers, however we strongly believe the culprit in his ever changing appearance is directly attributed to weight gain, which has altered the definition and shape of his face. The eyelids look a bit heavy and his cheeks are more pudgy due to a few extra pounds."

"I think overall Billy Crystal looks pretty good from these pictures," was quoted as saying Dr. Douglas Hendricks, a plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, who nevertheless has some suggestions for him. "He has been able to stave off anyone trying to change the features that make him recognizable as Billy Crystal. I would take special precautions to avoid altering that."

"I suspect he's had a little help from a plastic surgeon, specifically with laser skin tightening treatments," Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not treated Crystal, revealed to RadarOnline.com. "Billy may have undergone some injections of filler like Restylane to smooth out some lines, as well."


 

To Dr. Terry Dubrow, Billy Crystal's look represents an issue often seen in plastic surgery: "A mismatch," the Newport Beach plastic surgeon stated.

Dr. Christopher Zachary, chairman of the Department of Dermatology at University of Califoria, Irvine, claimed: "The only positive thing that can be said about this awful facelift is that Billy Crystal's humor will likely transcend it."

Dr. Vincent Afsahi, a cosmetic dermatologist in Newport Beach and Tustin and a clinical assistant professor at University of Southern California, put it this way: "My advice to Billy Crystal: No more surgery. The goal is to look natural."

Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California revealed: "Billy Crystal does look a bit different, and part of this is due to the normal aging process. He has put on a little weight, as there is some extra fat in his neck area. This can change an individual's appearance significantly. He also may have had a facelift at some point. Overall, any work that was performed was conservative."

Board certified Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr David Shafer was quoted as saying: "Based on the images, Billy Crystal looks to have plumper cheeks which could be from dermal fillers or fat grafting. He also has a smoother forehead, likely due to Botox. If he is looking for any more surgery, he might want to consider a lower facelift for neck lift."

Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer stated: "It looks like Billy Crystal's lower face has lost its definition and shape. This happens as people age loosing elasticity in their skin. Also, a little extra weight in his face is adding to his sagging look . A Neck Rejuvenation procedure could correct all that."


Conclusion: It is clear that Billy Crystal has gone a bit over the top with plastic surgery as his procedures resulted in the reduction of most aging signs and that doesn't make him seem normal looking for a man his age.
