Hollywood is the world unto itself. It has long been known and accepted that women looking to keep their careers in the highly sexualized environment of the film industry have turned to plastic surgery to stem the tide of changes aging brings. Now that movement is apparently spreading to older male actors as well. For a long time, male celebrities were allowed to age without critique. There may have been some remarks about their physiques, but nothing compared to the way older actresses were vilified for the passing of time that showed in their physical appearance. Men were still considered sexually appealing as they aged. Their gray hair made them look “distinguished, ” and any wrinkles made them look “weathered” and worldly, traits that could still be called sexy. But times seem to have changed and today’s crop of aging actors clearly feel the same need to deny the signs of aging as women have.

Ray Liotta Before and After Plastic Surgery
Has Ray Liotta Had Plastic Surgery?
One of those actors is Ray Liotta. The actor, who is fifty-nine, has been around the Hollywood scene for a long time. Known best for his portrayals of Henry Hill in the film Goodfellas, and Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams, Liotta has played some rough characters in his time. But apparently, he’s looking to smooth out some of the rough edges in his appearance these days.
Did Ray Liotta have plastic surgery? Although like many celebrities Liotta denies having any type of cosmetic surgery done, the gossip is that the difference between earlier photos and later ones comes from having a facelift done. Things such as bagging eyelids and sags in areas under the eyes and the cheeks are to be expected as people age. Yet Liotta’s facial features today appear youthful and tighter than in previous photos, giving credence to the idea that he has either had a facelift or had Botox injections to give him a younger appearance.
Some go so far as to say that whatever he has had done did not turn out well, calling his face “frozen and lifeless.” Although he is hardly hideous now, there does seem to be a loss of the natural look.
What Ray Liotta’s plastic surgery says about our obsession with aging?
Turning to plastic surgery to remake one’s appearance does have its risks, and all too often celebrities are gossiped about more for the changes they make than they were for aging naturally. It’s an unfortunate damned if you do and damned if you don’t have mentality.
The sad truth is gossip thrives on any difference it can find and those who critique celebrities are going to do so no matter what they use to try and upgrade their appearance. It is also true that surgery of any kind comes with risks, including the potential for the results to be far less than desired. One should also keep in mind that these procedures are referred to as “plastic” surgery. Ending up with a frozen, lifeless, “plastic” appearance shouldn’t be all that unexpected when you try and change what came naturally.
