Did Simon Cowell get too much plastic surgery?
Recent talk has surrounded his evolving looks throughout the years, with many speculating about the cosmetic procedures the former "American Idol" judge may have undergone.
Even more surprising to viewers was Cowell's appearance on a British television game show last weekend.
A curious individual inquired through X, formerly Twitter, about the extent of procedures Simon Cowell has undergone.
Another social media user remarked, "It's quite astonishing how immobile his face appears!"
In a candid revelation from two years back, the 64-year-old acknowledged that he may have overindulged in Botox and facial fillers. However, he maintained that he had refrained from opting for a facelift procedure.
"I've had a bit of Botox or whatever, but nothing drastic. So when I hear about this stuff, honestly it does make me laugh."
Simon Cowell Plastic Surgery Crisis
A panel of plastic and cosmetic surgery specialists surveyed by Page Six has raised suspicions that Simon Cowell might not be completely transparent about the treatments he has undergone.
Dr. Drakon, a cosmetic surgeon, believes that the unusual appearance of the music judge's face may result from a blend of facial fillers and a subtle lifting procedure.
The renowned surgeon with triple board certification expressed concerns about the excessive fullness in the individual's facial appearance, attributing it to a likely overuse of dermal fillers.
"The filler accumulates and starts getting into your lymphatics and blocks the lymphatic drainage in your face, so the swelling or the lymph drainage and the filler just block the normal drainage and you get a really, really full face and tight face - as if you stuck a needle in it and it would pop."
In his observations, Dr. Ramtin Kassir highlights the visible indicators that suggest Simon Cowell may have undergone plastic and cosmetic procedures, including the alignment of his eyebrows, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
"Some kind of vector force has been put on them, so he's definitely had either a revision lift, facelift, or some kind of a regular skin lift because the skin looks like it's tightly pulled over the underlying contents, which by the way is not a healthy or normal-looking lift," the New York and New Jersey-based expert says.
In the opinion of Kassir, the subtle waves on Cowell's neck hint at prior cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction and neck surgery, that may not have been executed with precision, leading to potential fat removal irregularities and scarring.
Supporting this observation, Pamela Weinberger, a medical injector at Plump in Miami, concurs that there are clear indications of facial surgeries the renowned TV personality has undergone.
Having no experience with Cowell, the Allergan Medical Institute instructor believes Botox injections were likely administered in the forehead and around the eyelid area.
Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, who holds no previous associations with the individual's father, acknowledges that Cowell's altered look can be attributed to excessive use of fillers, notably in the mid-cheek area and along the jawline, resulting in a visibly bloated or swollen appearance.

Simon Cowell: Too Much Botox?
In the view of many experts, the procedures Cowell underwent are generally reversible, albeit with a substantial financial investment.
Weinberger emphasizes the complexities and costs associated with correcting surgical interventions.
According to her, there is hope for Simon's surgical outcomes to enhance as the post-operative swelling diminishes gradually, which may span up to eight months.
"As Botox wears off in three months, Simon can reassess his options, potentially opting for a more natural approach to Botox or exploring alternative medical-grade treatments for subtle wrinkle reduction."
Numerous experts suggest that the alterations made to Simon Cowell's appearance can be undone, albeit at a high price.
The estimated cost of the corrective treatments for Cowell falls in the range of $20,000 to $100,000, with the recommendation that returning to the initial surgeon could offer a cost-effective solution for the client.
