Fans React To Tom Brady's NFL Broadcasting Debut Amid 'Botox' And Plastic Surgery Rumors
More viewers of Brady's on-air moment headed to X (formerly Twitter). One tweeted: "Face looks weird. What is it, botox? Some new rich celeb thing?" as someone else wrote: "Can Tom Brady get plastic surgery on his vocal cords too, or just botox, a new jawline, hair plugs, and a new nose?" One other commented: "Lay off the Botox" as an additional user harshly chimed in: "1. Tom Brady sucks as an announcer 2. Tom Brady has been taking a lot of Botox since he retired."
Certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Linkov, who has analyzed countless celebrity faces over the years, recently went into some detail about the former New England Patriots quarterback's face, and started from way back in 2001 when he was 24 years old.
A Plastic Surgeon Weighs In On Tom Brady's Facial Transformation Over The Years
In a 2022 YouTube video, Linkov discussed Brady's facial features, highlighting a frontotemporal recession and noting that his eyebrows were particularly striking, epitomizing the "ideal" male aesthetic. However, Linkov speculated that Brady might have undergone feminization surgery in 2002, as his once prominent brow ridge appeared noticeably reduced.
Jump ahead to 2022, when Linkov began to speculate that Brady might have undergone Botox treatments. "At the age of 45, now I'm starting to see some signs of Botox," Linkov explained at the end of his video, after noting that the retired athlete had a "smoother appearance to his forehead" and "reduced animation."
On September 5th, 2023, Brady ignited further Botox rumors with his appearance in an NFL promotional video, leaving countless fans convinced that he looked more altered than ever before.
"Dude needs to chill on the plastic surgery," one user wrote in the NFL post's comments section, while someone else said, "Botox city Jesus." Another simply deemed him "Botox Brady." An additional commenter noted: "The plastic surgery is creepy," as one other theorized: "He definitely got buccal fat removal."
For what it's worth, Linkov mentioned in his aforementioned video that Brady had experienced a loss of lateral and middle cheek fat, potentially a natural part of aging.
However, the video, created in 2022, did not reflect Brady's 2023 (or 2024) appearance, leaving room for speculation that he might have opted for the contentious buccal fat removal procedure since then. Brady has yet to respond to these fresh and resurfaced fan accusations and rumors.
