Does Tom Brady Have Good Genes Or Good Docs? Expert Weighs In

Tom Brady's youthful look is more than meets the eye, at least that's what the experts are saying.

The former NFL star is almost in his 50s, but his looks can pass for someone decades younger, raising questions about how he arrived at such a flawless finish.

Tom Brady has sparked rumors of a plastic procedure in the past, including the 2025 Super Bowl, where people observed his face looking tight and youthful.

The NFL legend intrigued experts when the league made a collage of 13 of his pictures to highlight the changes within two decades of his career. A plastic surgeon, Dr. Smita Ramanadham, went through the images and suggested that the athlete might have discreetly gotten some nips and tucks to stay in shape.

The surgeon affirmed that the procedures were done very well and kept people guessing, but in a very good way. In Ramanadham's words:

"We can't stop aging no matter what we do, but I don't see those changes with Brady that I see with everyone else, even myself, and that makes me suspicious." 

She listed a few procedures he might have done, including excess skin removal surgery around the eyes, a nose readjustment through rhinoplasty, and Botox or fillers to soften fine lines. 

According to Radar Online, Ramanadham added that the athlete also maintains a very strict, clean diet and intense fitness regimen to help him stay in shape.

Brady's presence during the February event sparked several theories about his suddenly youthful appearance, with fans comparing him to a skeleton with his face pulled entirely backwards.

As reported by The Daily Mail, the former athlete's tight face spurred reports of a facelift within three months, leading to the sporting event.

Others guessed that the athlete used Botox to freeze his muscles to keep wrinkles in check. Speculations of a possible laser resurfacing to remove layers of damaged skin and promote smooth skin also came into the conversation.

Several medical practitioners also weighed in on the development, while Dr. Corey Maas noted that Brady's face resembled somebody on a high-intensity aerobic exercise program.

Dr Tijion Esho of the Cultskin company affirmed that the athlete's skin looked like that of someone still healing from an extensive facelift procedure.

Another observer offered insights into the state of Brady's face in April 2024. The lengthy clip posted on Instagram identified several procedures that had been carried out on his face. The post's caption read:

"Over the last 10 years, Tom has maintained his strong, masculine-looking features and is looking as young as ever. What do you think?"

The commentator rewinded 10 years to when the athlete was 36, where he observed his strong, masculine features, namely his cheekbones, square jawline, and broad chin.

He also noted the hair loss and recession that plagued people his age, which all seemed to have stayed the same, with his hairline adjusted to become fuller than it was last year.

Well, fans in the comments showcased diverse thoughts, such as allegations that the first picture, when he was 36, was a result of surgery. Some commenters also agree on the hair transplant bit, adding that he may also be on several supplements to improve his appearance.

"Who cares! He's a great-looking man who has done subtle things to slow down the aging process," another Instagram user wrote in his defense.

His appearance is not the only feature under scrutiny, as Ross expressed his slight disappointment earlier in August that he regretted comments made about his divorce during his Netflix roast.

The Blast shared that Ross was one of the several stars who jabbed the former footballer during the roast, prompting Brady to warn him to mind his utterances at some point.

Months after the event, Ross stated that he respected the former athlete for taking all the jabs in good faith, but found it hard to believe that half his sense of humor probably went away with his divorce.

Ross added that the roast, however controversial it may seem, was very much needed for football fans to take a break and leave politics aside for a minute.

Speaking of the aftermath of the roast and his regret, Brady confirmed that he was a fan of how his friends and acquaintances in the industry made fun of him. However, he wished his kids and estranged wife would be left out of it, regardless of how funny it may come across.

According to him, it was a bittersweet experience, especially seeing how the comments had a significant impact on people in his life and circle. "You realize 'I wouldn't do that again' because of the way it affected, actually, the people I care about the most in the world," Brady added.

The NFL legend finalized his divorce from model Gisele Bündchen in October 2022, months after reports emerged that his marriage was struggling due to his decision to unretire.

Will Tom Brady address the plastic surgery rumors soon?
