Bradley Cooper‘s changing appearance is sparking conversation online once again, with fans claiming the actor has lost some of the “beautiful features” he was born with amid ongoing speculation about possible cosmetic procedures.

An X user recently shared side-by-side photos of the 51-year-old’s before-and-after transformation. The post included the caption, “Celebrity plastic surgeons be like ‘yeah you’re beautiful but what if you were perfect?’ removes beautiful features.“

The post quickly gained traction, receiving 97K likes as fans flooded the comments with their reactions.

Fans React To Bradley Cooper’s Transformation

“Think he and Jennifer Lawrence went to the same surgeon. ‘Silver Linings Facelift,'” one person joked.

“It’s bad enough when a woman does it, but when a guy has this kind of eye surgery, it’s feminizing,” another commenter wrote.

“This was a huge mistake for Bradley. This was not an improvement,” someone else said.

“Doing upper blephs on men should be illegal,” another user commented.

“That is so messed up, they really prey on people’s insecurities like that,” one person added.

“They’re all constantly ruining their face cause they don’t want to get old but they get old and look even worse,” another wrote.

“This one hurts,” a fan said, while someone else remarked, “Sadly he looks more like Barry Manilow than Bradley Cooper now.”

Despite the online speculation, Cooper and his close friend Will Arnett previously addressed the plastic surgery rumors during an appearance on the SmartLess podcast. Cooper noted that people had simply been telling him he looked good recently.

Meanwhile, cosmetic surgery experts have also weighed in on the actor’s appearance.

Plastic surgeon Gerard Lambe told the Daily Mail that, in his opinion, Cooper may have undergone several procedures. “In my opinion, there’s a few things he’s had done, including having his jaw tightened, and a lower facelift,” Lambe said.

Cosmetic Experts Weigh In

The surgeon suggested that if Cooper had undergone a facelift, it could have been a SMAS facelift, a procedure that addresses deeper layers of facial tissue rather than simply tightening the skin.

“If you pull on the skin, it just sags back down, but beneath the skin, there’s a fat layer and a fibrousy, tough layer, and underneath that are the nerves that move the face,” Lambe explained.

The expert continued, “There’s different approaches, but I tend to grab it and stitch the SMAS to itself, and that gives volume and lift and it holds very well.”

Lambe also speculated that Cooper may have had his “SMAS pulled up behind his ear,” which he believes could account for the actor’s tighter-looking jawline and neck.

However, Cooper has not confirmed undergoing any of the procedures discussed, and the claims about his appearance remain speculation.
