Hollywood's Youthful Facade: The Shocking Truth Behind Celebrities' Ageless Looks

In an industry where beauty and youth are currency, celebrities have long been accused of resorting to extreme measures to maintain their youthful appearances. And now, a panel of expert plastic surgeons has come forward to reveal the shocking truth behind some of Tinseltown's most ageless faces.

Sabrina Carpenter, the 26-year-old pop sensation, is one such star who appears to have had her fair share of cosmetic work done. According to Dr. David Shokrian, a prominent plastic surgeon in New York City, Carpenter's alleged use of fillers has left her looking at least a decade older than her actual age.

"It's like she's trying to play 30-something," the doctor joked, adding that her "bangs" hairstyle and washed-out hair color also contribute to her mature appearance. Carpenter's reps have yet to comment on the allegations, but sources close to the star claim she has had a nose job and received filler in her lips and cheeks.

But Carpenter is not alone in her quest for eternal youth. Supermodel Bella Hadid, who turned 28 just last October, also appears to have undergone procedures to maintain her ageless look. Dr. Shokrian suggests that her sunken-in cheeks may be the result of buccal fat surgery, a popular procedure in the early 2000s that removes the fat pad from the face to give it a more angular appearance.

"Removing the fat pad gives the face a hollowed-out look, making Bella appear older than she actually is," the doctor explained. Hadid has never confirmed the procedure, but online rumors suggest she may have opted for the surgery to achieve her signature high-fashion aesthetic.

In other shocking revelations, Post Malone, who celebrated his 30th birthday just last week, appears to be aging faster than expected. The 30-year-old rapper's recent 60-pound weight loss has left him looking older, according to Dr. Daniel Kaufman, a plastic surgeon in Miami.

"When you lose weight, you also lose volume in your face, which can make you look less youthful," the doctor explained. Fans may also associate Post Malone's face tattoos and retro clothing choices with older individuals.

Meanwhile, British actress Florence Pugh, who turns 28 this year, appears to have overdone it on the filler front, according to Dr. Kaufman. The actress's dark makeup and light hair dye also contribute to her mature appearance, which has been a subject of speculation in recent months.

Pugh has previously slammed rumors about her appearance, saying she aims to start conversations around this issue to help protect young female actors. "It isn't the first time and certainly won't be the last time a woman will hear what's wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers," she said in a recent interview.

And finally, Timothée Chalamet, the 29-year-old star of Dune and romance with Kylie Jenner, appears to be losing his baby fat faster than expected. Dr. Shokrian suggests that this natural process has left him looking older, although he denies any cosmetic work.

"It's like he's aging like a regular guy," the doctor said. "But I think what made his features look sharper is that he's gone from being a teenager to a young man, and these are some of the changes you would expect to see on the face."
