As someone who is more than a little acquainted w/ plastic surgery, I can assure you he's had work done and why not. The legions of men having something done, especially in show business, is very well known. I would venture to say he's had Restalyn for his frown lines, an eye lift and perhaps a brow lift. In the plastic world docs call it "looking refreshed". It certainly helps that he's always been lean so no saggy paunches. But I'm here to tell you ladies and gentlemen one doesn't look like he does at age 63 only eating right and good genes. Plastic surgeons are in abundance out theregive credit where credit is due!

He was naked on Californication last night. He looked ridiculously hot, period. But then I came here and found out he is SIXTY?!?!?! No beep way. I would have put him at about 45 at the most. His face looks young and handsome, that could be due to plastic surgery, but if he had any, that doctor is a genius. But his torso too, no way in hell could plastics make him look that good. It's insane.

Hello, HarlowMGM:
I rather doubt Rick would fess up to going under the knife (if he has) in his autobiography. He's been making the talk-show rounds with his wife at his side. Regardless, the jury still appears to be out on the matter, and fortunately, Rick is still giving us more to focus on than whether he has (or hasn't).

If he has had any plastic surgery it's certainly only been nips or tucks, not the major stuff a lot of celebrities choose. I wonder if he will address the issue in his new book.

Yeah, I really don't know, and I don't particularly care. Of course, I am replying to this thread, so I'll call myself a hypocrite before anyone else does. I rarely see Rick's face anymore except in concert, and then I'm usually not close enough to notice. He's primarily a recording artist to me, and he's still vital in that regard (though I think "Venus in Overdrive" could have been better).
Many other rockers have clearly gone under the knife, with distractingly bad results. I didn't think Rick was one of them until those photos appeared on the Awful Plastic Surgery site, and I'm still not convinced that he has or that he hasn't.
I just wish he'd release another album of new music soon.

According to the pics in this link you provided, he looks natural to me. If someone wants to think he's had plastic surgery (not saying you), that's what they'll see. Some people are genetically lucky as they age and Rick is extremely physically active with his concerts and tours. Really, most male celebs we see his age (and younger) have gained weight and look puffy and older. I don't believe Rick has had plastic surgery. He doesn't need it to keep his fans. He looks natural in all the recent pictures I've seen of him. His longish hair makes him appear younger, too. He would probably look older if he had short hair. He looks great and I think it's ALL him (with some hair coloring, but nothing more)!
I've already seen the worst movie ever made, so it can only be uphill from there.

I have been on this board defending Rick against allegations of plastic surgery, but some of the photos in Awful Plastic Surgery have me wondering:

So how was the show?
I've seen Rick many times, and I'm convinced he hasn't had plastic surgery, though I kind of wonder how he has so much hair. He's a very attractive, very fit 59-year-old who looks a bit younger but not a lot younger. He obviously takes care of himself, and more important, he
rocks.

i looked at him at the concert yesterday and when you look at his body, and hands, they match his faceso for me, that tells me that he hasn't had any at all.
when he joked that he was 30, and then went times 2, none of us believed itbut, wow.he looks fantastic for 60, i tell you..
he definately does keep himself in shape.

I doubt he has had plastic surgery because even though he looks great he does not look "faux young" like stars who have clearly had it. He's handsome still but he definately looks older than he did in the 1980's. I don't think he has lost any major hair, he just does not wear it as long as he used it or mousse it up anymore. Not every man loses hair as they age - I'd say only about 50 percent do (and then it's because it's in their family genes), you only need look around to see that.

Wish I had his or John Edward's genes.
That comment has a slightly different meaning more than six months after you wrote it!
But regarding Rick, he has aged remarkably well, but obviously he works out and eats right. I particulary envy his full head of hair. If he's had any plastic surgery and I really doubt he has it looks completely natural (which plastic surgery usually doesn't).

Wish I had his or John Edward's genes

Yeah, well, I can post my OWN before/after comparison which proves the exact opposite:

Far from having "destroyed the adorable cupid's bow of his top lip with collagen," MY side-by-side clearly shows that RS's "cupid's bow" remains virtually unchanged (aside from NORMAL aging) since he was 22 years old!
(BTW, in case you're wondering, I took the "2006" photo, myself, on July 27, 2006; the photo IS current, and unretouched)
The "Awful Plastic Surgery" site deliberately chose a less-than-flattering photo of RS with an expression on his face which could be then be (falsely) described as depicting the results of a non-existant surgical procedure. In other words, his cupid's bow is less evident in the "after" shot simply due to the way he's tensing his upper lip. Other photos shot that same day show an unchanged, normal upper lip.

My husband might disagree with you. He is 43 and hasn't lost any hair. Not ALL men start losing hair at age 40. (BTW I'm jealous of hubby's hair. It's thicker than mine at any age, and his grandfather hardly had any hair loss at age 80)

ALL men? Excuse me but many Asian men like my dad who is younger than Rick by only a year has kept a very thick amount of hair, the thickness has not changed over the years (I've seen his baby pics). Perhaps you're referring to a lot of Western men but that does not equate to all men, not even all Western men!
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece

Exactly my thoughts!
I think Rick looks good and he's about 90% natural. Everyone puts on make-up, dye their hair, do botox or similar physical enhancements sometime in their lives. So let him be. He looks good and we're all hot and bothered by him. Good deal.
Nothin' but sword.

Very true. His hair has thinned out. But still looks good. I always wonder why so many people worry about this stuff..lol

Again, I direct your attention to the before/after comparison I set up a year ago:
http://www.candibowman.com/19712006a.jpg
. He HAS lost hair, and a lot of it.
Clearly, RS's hair is not as thick now as it was when he was in his 20's and 30's. Also, his hairline has obviously receded significantly from where it was when he was younger. If he were going to wear a rug, or have hair plugs, those issues would no doubt be addressed, because as anyone who's ever been to a Rick Springfield concert knows, brutha is VERY touchy about his hair.
Normal aging. Good genes. Proper diet and exercise. A good stylist. That's it.
