Fans Comment On Tom Brady's Transformation
"Not even the same guy!" exclaimed one fan on a Twitter post showing his transformation. "Crazy transformation, the shape of his head appears to have changed quite a bit over time," the fan added. "He became a whole different person," commented another fan, as someone else concurred, "Those are two different people from start to finish."
Someone else quipped: "Only career better than Tom Brady is his surgeon." "Had about as many plastic surgeries as years played," wrote another. "Plastic surgery city," said another fan, while many others seemed to think he is getting better with age. "He looked better as he got older. He lost the chub and a jawline appeared. It's the other way around for the rest of us," thought one fan.
"He got better looking and looks younger as he got older," agreed another. "Brady aged like a fine wine," concurred another, which another echoed, writing: "How did he get more handsome the older he got?"
A Plastic Surgeon Weigh In
Certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Linkov, who has analyzed countless celebrity faces over the years, 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. He explained in a 2022 YouTube video that Brady's face had a frontotemporal recession, and said his eyebrows were very distinctive and were the "ideal" aesthetic for men. However, Linkov went on to speculate that Brady may have had a feminization surgery in 2002 after noticing that his prominent brow ridge was shaved down.
Has Tom Brady Had Botox?
Fast forward to the year 2022, when Linkov suspected that Brady may have had some 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 quarterback had a "smoother appearance to his forehead" and "reduced animation."
But Brady sparked even more Botox speculation on September 5th, 2023 in a promo video for the NFL, where he looked more different than ever! And as expected, the change didn't go unnoticed among fans! "Dude needs to chill on the plastic surgery," said one fan in the comments section, while someone else said, "Botox city Jesus," and another simply called him "Botox Brady." "The plastic surgery is creepy," criticized another fan. "He definitely got buccal fat removal," speculated another, which brings us on to our next and final point.
Has Tom Brady Had Buccal Fat Removal?
Earlier this year, after Brady had first announced his retirement, the seven-time Super Bowl champ sported a very different appearance, which the internet believes is down to the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback having the ever-controversial buccal fat removal surgery. Was it his way of having a glow-up following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen? We can’t say for sure, but the difference in his cheeks is hard to ignore.
For what it's worth, Linkov noted in his video that Brady had lost lateral and middle cheek fat, which could just be part of the aging process. However, as the video was taken in 2022, it didn’t take into account Brady's appearance in 2023, so it's possible that he *could* have undergone the controversial buccal fat removal since then.
