Good plastic surgery is subtle, often completely invisible to the untrained eye. Poorly done plastic surgery, though? It feels almost unmistakable. Even if you struggle to articulate precisely what makes it bad, you simply know it when you see it. The face just looks off.
After seeing a facelift too far, I decided to ask one of the foremost experts in plastic surgery, Terry Dubrow, to explain why some people—specifically, many famous men—appear so odd after returning from an extended trip to Surgical Town. Depending on your taste in television, you may recognize Dr. Dubrow as one of the two surgeons on E!’s Botched (or its spin-off, Botched: Rewind) or as the husband of The Real Housewives of New York star Heather Dubrow.
According to Dr. Dubrow, it’s all in the eyes. “A man at 35 has excess upper eyelid skin—he’s supposed to have lower brows and hooded eyelids,” he told The Daily Beast. After showing me a few examples of plastic surgery gone wrong—including an unnamed A-lister whose newly adjusted face is currently the talk of the town, and not the good kind of talk—I saw it. And I can’t unsee it.
