In this new face with full cheeks and a certain air of puffiness, it was difficult to recognize the actor's features, which is why many of those who attended the match discovered that the person they had at their side was the interpreter of 'Mission Impossible' thanks to the video scoreboards they placed a luminous sign with Tom Cruise's name underneath the actor's image. Tom, however, seemed delighted to surround himself with supporters of the Giants and Dodgers, unaware that the networks were beginning to burn. Tom had done it again.
Although for years the actor has condemned the abuse of aesthetic medicine, for a decade his constant pact with the devil that makes his skin not age and we can only see some crow's feet around his eyes has only one explanation. realistic: touch-ups. Already in 2016 the appearance of him was much commented. Tom resorted to various injectable fillers to attend the BAFTA Awards with the same appearance as when he filmed 'Top Gun', what he does not seem to have counted on was that if he does not let a little time pass between the touch-up and the red carpet , the super-filled face effect is too conspicuous. His slanted eyes disappeared and his skin glowed like TikTok makeup dreams of glistening.
On this occasion, the lesson learned, Tom Cruise went to his appointment with the sport with a less bloated face and maintaining a discreet image. It was no longer a 'look at me how good I am', but a 'what a surprise, you have recognized me but why am I great?' However, there were those who did not quite believe that he was Cruise himself, if it were not for his son Connor accompanying him. Many Twitter users recalled that these catches red-handed with the fresh touch-up have become a very repeated practice in baseball games, pointing to Rob Lowe, Cruise's generation partner, who has also been seen with a stretched skin in stadiums. Because yes, they also do touch-ups, although his face is not scrutinized as hard as that of women.
So what has Tom Cruise done to his face?
The verdict of the experts is resounding: evidently, the fillers have taken their toll on the actor's face. That feeling of swelling would correspond to a more than recent visit to the office. "An inversion of what we call 'the triangle of beauty' is clearly appreciated, it has gone from having a triangular and very masculine and attractive face, with a marked jaw angle and chin, to having a square and feminized face" , explains Dr. Virtudes Ruiz, surgeon and aesthetic doctor, president of the Murcian Association of Aesthetic Medicine (AMMECC) Loss of definition in her angled features would be an immediate secondary effect of infiltrations, probably with hyaluronic acid (HA), recently made or poorly managed, as the doctor points out.
In addition to an effect of freshly made or poorly managed HA fillers, there are other possible explanations that the aesthetic doctor remembers: "An increase in weight together with the sagging typical of age and a 'heavy face' with thick skin like yours "are factors that contribute to that effect of a full face of volume. As the doctor explains, in the case of Tom Cruise, the touch-ups that are carried out have given him "a more feminized look on his face." But the thing is not there, perhaps the paralysis of his forehead is the other most striking factor, after the rounding of his features, not to mention the almost total absence of wrinkles around the eyes. "There are no wrinkles around the eyes because it has also been treated with botulinum toxin," says the doctor, who indicates the probability that he has undergone the so-called 'full face', which consists of doing all the touch-ups at the same time "After a few days it is normal to have a small generalized inflammation", he points out. This would explain that swelling that drew the attention of party goers and social networks.
