After Ben Affleck’s shock face change on Tom Brady’s roast, plastic surgeons reveal actor’s cosmetic surgery secrets

Football legend Tom Brady wasn’t the only star to turn heads after his chilling television show, which aired live on Netflix on Monday.

In addition to watching Brady squirm, the audience was also captivated by the face of Ben Affleck, who modeled a new clean-shaven look.

Rumors circulated online that the 51-year-old actor had undergone a facelift for his age-resistant, wrinkle-free skin.

“Ben Affleck is on stage fresh off a facelift,” one X user wrote, while another commented, “Ben Affleck’s facelift looks insane.”

But what do the experts say? Speaking to DailyMail.com, plastic surgeons have given their verdict and concluded that Affleck’s face is indeed not entirely natural.

Ben Affleck (pictured last week, left and in 2021) has probably had Botox and fillers, according to a plastic surgeon. Dr. Raja Mohan pointed to the fading of the lines on his forehead and the disappearance of his crow’s feet to suggest the shift

However, rumors of a facelift are probably unfounded.

Dr. Raja Mohan, a plastic surgeon in Texas, told DailyMail.com: ‘In my opinion, it appears that he has had Botox and filler treatment to rejuvenate and make his face look younger. [But] it doesn’t look like it’s had a facelift.

‘In the earlier photos he has forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet… which you don’t see at all in his latest appearance, the areas look very shiny and smooth which probably means he has had Botox.

‘And then you don’t see the loss of volume in the jawline and the cheeks as in previous photos, so he probably had some filler there.’

He added: ‘I don’t think he has had a facelift as the change in his appearance is not as dramatic as you would expect with that type of procedure.’

Affleck appeared clean-shaven ahead of his appearance in The Accountant 2, with fans assuming his new frizz-free look would benefit his role.

But even with the beard, photos since 2016 show very little sign of aging on Affleck’s face.

Surgeons also pointed out this 2016 image of Affleck. Sources say he got Botox in July last year after deciding he ‘hated how old and tired he was starting to look’

The star’s sources exclusively suggested to DailyMail.com last night that Affleck had had Botox but shunned fillers.

“Ben looks great,” the source said, “he had Botox – everyone gets it before events. He has had no filler and certainly no surgery.’

In July last year, it was suggested that Affleck had had Botox after his ‘image conscious’ wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, urged him to ‘boost his appearance’.

Botox lasts an average of three to six months.
