The 'new face' of Tom Cruise, under review: what has been done? The experts answer
Talking about the abuse of injectables in Hollywood has gone from news to tradition, but Tom Cruise's last appearance was so striking that his new face needs to be analyzed by specialists
Baseball night in the United States and, among the public, the one who was a face known throughout the world, Tom Cruise. What began as a quiet sports day for the actor ended up being a flood of comments and threads on Twitter discussing his renewed appearance. Is it Tom Cruise or is it the double of him? They mocked when analyzing his features with more volume and his forehead free of any line of expression, something at least striking in a 59-year-old man.

In this new face with full cheeks and a certain air of swelling, it was difficult to recognize the actor's features, which is why many of those attending the match discovered that the one they had by their side was the interpreter of 'Mission Impossible' thanks to the video markers they placed a luminous sign with the name of Tom Cruise under the image of the actor. Tom, however, seemed delighted to be surrounded by Giants and Dodgers fans, unaware that the nets 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: tweaks. Already in 2016 his appearance was highly commented. Tom resorted to several injectable fillers to go to the BAFTAs with the same look as when he shot 'Top Gun', what he doesn't seem to have counted on is that if he doesn't allow a little time between retouching and the red carpet , the ultra-padded face effect is too conspicuous. His slanted eyes disappeared and his skin shone like TikTok makeup dreams of shining.
On this occasion, having learned his lesson, 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 all how well I am', but a 'what a surprise, you have recognized me but why am I great?'.
However, there were those who did not believe that he was Cruise himself, if it were not for his son Connor accompanying him. Many Twitter users recalled that these caught red-handed with the newly done retouching have become a very repeated practice in baseball games, pointing to Rob Lowe, Cruise's generation mate, who has also been seen with a stretched skin in the stadiums. Because yes, they also get touch-ups, although his face is not scrutinized as hard as that of women.
What has Tom Cruise done to his face then?
The verdict of the experts is resounding: obviously, the fillers have made a dent in the actor's face. That feeling of swelling would correspond to a more than recent step through the consultation. "There is clearly an inversion of what we call 'the triangle of beauty', it has gone from having a triangular and very masculine and attractive face, with the angle of the jaw and chin marked, to having a square and feminized face" , explains Dr. Virtudes Ruiz, surgeon and aesthetic doctor, president of the Murcian Association of Aesthetic Medicine (AMMECC), The loss of definition in her angular features would be an immediate side effect of infiltrations, probably with hyaluronic acid (HA), recently made or poorly managed, as the doctor points out.
In addition to an effect of recently made or poorly managed fillers with AH, there are other possible explanations that the aesthetic doctor recalls: "Weight gain along with sagging due to age and a 'heavy face' with thick skin like yours " are factors that contribute to that full-volume face effect. As the doctor explains, in the case of Tom Cruise, the touch-ups that are carried out have given him "a more feminized aspect of 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. "She has no wrinkles around her eyes because she has also been treated with botulinum toxin," says the doctor, who indicates the probability that she has undergone the so-called 'full face', which consists of getting all the touch-ups done 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 attracted the attention of those attending the match and social networks.
