Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow reveals the cosmetic mistake male celebrities keep making

Hollywood's leading men are aging in reverse — and everyone is noticing.

As male actors' faces grow more scrutinized over every red-carpet appearance, one celebrity plastic surgeon says the pressure to look youthful has never been greater.

"I think there is," Dr. Terry Dubrow, a celebrity plastic surgeon known for his work on shows like "Botched" and "Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind," told Fox News Digital when asked whether male celebrities are facing increased pressure to age perfectly in the social media era.

"I think the ‘forever 35’ that was just relegated to only female celebrities is now because of… I mean look at Brad Pitt, look at John Stamos… you know, look at these guys who basically look pretty ageless."

"Obviously, I'm not their doctors, so I don't know exactly what they've done, but I think it's pretty obvious that people are sort of trying to get locked into a certain age range and, for a man, it maybe isn't ‘forever 35.’ It might be ‘forever 45,’ but it's not ‘forever 65,’ the actual age these people are."

Dubrow's comments come as conversations about aging, cosmetic procedures and celebrity appearances continue to dominate social media, with male stars increasingly finding themselves under the same microscope long experienced by women in Hollywood.

While Pitt has never publicly acknowledged undergoing plastic surgery, Stamos has been candid about some cosmetic procedures.

The "Full House" star previously revealed that he underwent a nose job as a young actor after breaking his nose as a child.

"When I was a kid, I had a nose job," Stamos said on "The Really Good Podcast," explaining that he decided to have the procedure during his time on "General Hospital" in the early 1980s.

"I broke it when I was a kid. I got hit with a golf club. There's a little scar here," he said. "And I was on 'General Hospital,' which is a soap opera. And I just didn't like the way it looked."

Stamos has also spoken openly about using Botox but has indicated he has no plans to undergo a facelift.

According to Dubrow, the conversation surrounding cosmetic procedures changed dramatically in recent years, particularly after high-profile celebrities began speaking openly about their experiences.

"You know, I really believe that Kris Jenner changed everything, like, overnight with that facelift," Dubrow said.

"And I think by coming out and admitting to having a facelift, it changed the whole thing about whether you're willing to acknowledge that you've gotten older and that you had something significant done."

"It's interesting. When Botox first came out, no one would admit to Botox. And then that became OK… and no one would admit to other procedures. No one would ever admit to a facelift."

"Now, because of Kris Jenner, it's perfectly okay. Rosie O'Donnell, Denise Richards, and everyone else."

But Dubrow believes a growing number of male celebrities are making a critical mistake when pursuing facial rejuvenation.

"The problem is, the same wonderful surgeons who are doing facelifts on A-list [female] celebrities are unfortunately applying those same principles to A-List male celebrities," he said. "And it's looking very feminized."

"They're taking too much skin from the upper lids, too tight in the face and neck. I mean, there is no man over 60 who doesn't have some excess eyelid skin and some laxity in their neck. It just doesn't look normal."

Rather than dramatic transformations, Dubrow said today's most successful cosmetic work often goes unnoticed.

When Fox News Digital asked what procedures leading men are quietly requesting to look refreshed without appearing surgically altered, Dubrow pointed to one common giveaway.

"Well, I'm glad you're asking me that, because when you look at the male celebrities who have obviously done something, the reason it's so obvious is because they've had their upper eyelids done, right?" he said.

Dubrow explained that male facial anatomy requires a different approach than female facial rejuvenation.

"Well, because rather than in a female where you tighten the skin and show all the upper eyelid skin that you used to have when you were younger, men don't have zero upper eyelid skin," he said.

"So, if you take all of the upper eyelid skin in a man, you're taking him to a period, not where he was when he was younger, but to a time that he never had, okay? … even when you look at a guy who's 23, he has excess eyelid skin, so what you want to make sure you don't do is just do too much."

"Don't make the neck too tight. Don't make the upper lids without any excess skin at all. Don't overly feminize, okay? That's the key."

Instead, Dubrow said Hollywood's newest status symbol isn't an obvious facelift — it's maintenance.

"I think the big deal now is, is that there's a new series of non-invasive procedures that all of Hollywood is doing," he said.

"And, you know, you've heard of them, the Xerfs and the radio frequencies and the micro-needling and so on. But the difference now is that we realize they only work if you do them all the time."

Dubrow added, "In Hollywood and Beverly Hills, people really are just committing, almost like it's a diet and exercise program, to doing these procedures like every six to eight weeks. That's when they're really at their sweet spot."

As speculation surrounding celebrity appearances continues online — from facial rejuvenation rumors to discussions about how stars age in the public eye — Dubrow said the industry's focus has shifted away from dramatic makeovers and toward subtle interventions designed to keep people looking like themselves.

The goal, he suggested, is no longer to appear decades younger. It's to look naturally youthful enough that nobody can tell any work was done at all.
