Jeff Bezos‘s dramatically plumped-up lips and super-smooth, tight cheeks have sparked rumors he has had cosmetic surgery.
The wealthiest person in the world appeared different – mostly puffier – in recent photos and video taken before and after his $5.5billion joyride to space earlier this month.
It’s unknown if Bezos, 57, has undergone any cosmetic surgery. He hasn’t said anything publicly, and there’s been no official statements from Amazon or his media relations team.
Nevertheless, it’s caught the interest of some, including Dr. Corey L. Hartman, a dermatologist in Birmingham, Alabama, who told the Daily Beast, ‘How can you not be obsessed [with how Bezos looks]? It’s such a drastic change.’
‘He’s an easy target,’ Dr. Hartman told the Daily Beast. ‘Clearly he does not care because to me it looks like to me that he went and got his very obvious filler and injectables done right before he burst into the spotlight with this trip into space.’
Hartman posted a photo of Bezos, who is worth an estimated $192 billion, on Instagram last week and said, ‘We see you, Jeff. Next time get the filler a month earlier so that the swelling has time to die down. Keeps people (like me) out of your business.’
Hartman did stress that he doesn’t want to stigmatize cosmetic surgery, especially among men.
‘More men who are into this should go for it,’ he said. ‘So, good for Bezos for stepping out and not being afraid to go for it.’
