Duh. Lance Bass's new nose circa 2004.

News Flash: No one looks like they did in 1994, much less 1976.

I had sex with Gaultier at the baths several years ago. He was sexy then.

hells kitchen guy: You are desperate, aren't you…

I like queerty. every morning nyt, bbc, and queerty, but this is not a good queerty story. why kick someone when they are down, even if they themselves are the reason they are down? i get taking a punch at those who take a punch at us ( the religious right and co,) but this is not nice.

Just aging alone does enough to your looks. But bad surgery is really a crime.

Thierry's case is another commentary on gays getting older…he chose steroids and surgery. I think not so much to look younger, but because 50+ gay men are so invisible in our culture. But there is a subgroup that would be attracted to a muscle freak with a monster dick (you left that part of the photo out)and to him that was better then just fading away to grey.

David Gest is another story. The after photo is actually his surgery repair. You need to post a photo of his nose while he was married to Liza. It was much smaller and so DG had his nose made larger to try and fix things.

Weird. Grotesque. Kind of like the "lion lady" Jocelyn Wildenstein. Creepy to touch or have in bed with you.

Charley: Sweetheart, after a few drinks, low lights, and raging hormones, I'm sure you've been with quite a few male Jocelyn Wildensteins…

All of them are hot!

Queerty, you're losing it. This was cheap and mean-spirited, and it exposes your inability to to do actual journalism that zeros in on a complex topic. "Bad plastic surgery that men get" is a great topic, as is "aging in the gay world," but many of these examples are either guys who obviously suffer from mental health issue or guys who are simply older. Mugler, Stalone, Rupert? Really? Of course they don't look like they did 20 years ago. They don't look bad now–and without the help of a surgeon/dermatologist, they might look much, much worse. And Pete Burns? He's not even from this planet, so what's the relevance?

You quick-to-judge whippersnappers are in for a very rude shock around the year 2020 when you look in the mirror. If it even takes that long.

Oh, I know, how about actor Mickey Rourke?

I have mixed emotions about this story. I really don't like things that make fun of peoples appearances but at the same time I find it educational. Now that I am over 40 sometime I look in the mirror and say, hmmm, eye lids are beginning to sag, maybe I will get em fixed, lines in the forehead are getting more pronounced, that can be fixed also. But seeing this makes me back off and say, no thanks. What about good plastic surgery? I have often thought that the problem with surgery is that either people don't know when to stop or the surgeons themselves don't stop cause they are making $$$$. There should be third party consultants that can help people decide what to and what not to do.

I guess I've lived too near hollywood too long. I actually find most plastic surgery weird and surreal. I don't even like dyed hair.
Mind you, I've probably seen too many extreme cases, and in situations where the lighting was not flattering, such as sunny afternoons (nature is the cruelest mirror!).
But really. Aren't men supposed to age more gracefully? A few less cocktails and cigarettes might help, and those pain-killers are very hard on the kidneys and liver, which in turn make the eyes and skin look weary and dull.
But then…perhaps it can function as a sort of social barometer. If you see someone that unhappy with themselves, they're not likely happy to with much else, and you can avoid them.

I see Mugler went for the surgery/steroid combo. so now he has all… that, and a a shrunken penis.

I'm unsure as to what to take from this: My understanding is that far more men, than one would be led to think here have plastric surgery: to put muscles in thier legs even, saying nothing about wrinkles etc.
It might be more relivant and construcive to give time and energy to the lack of community & superficiality which leaves everyone high and dry at some point.
Do you ever discuss healthy lifestyle options which keep people younger longer.

People are bound to be defensive about this story. As we move from living in reality into living propaganda reinforced lifestyles. Conforming your personal image to fit the corporate media is the norm. Nearly everyone on Television is selling something, not the least of which is a fake/plastic appearance. CNN has some of the most ghoulish plastic surgery taking heads out there. John Roberts and Rob Marciano lead the males for the most work done.

NO! Lex! WHY?

Eye. Bleach. Stat.

I think I'll be growing old gracefully now. No nip and tuck for me.

So, those are some examples of plastic surgery gone wrong, but what about the guys that did it right? What about John Schneider, who only had liposuction and still looks hunky as he nears 50? What about sexy Becksy who has Botox with Posh in their LA home?

One of the things about cosmetic surgery I blog about on my site, http://www.superfantasticplastic.blogspot.com, is only addressing the issues that you feel need the most work. Don't let society or a doctor tell you you need a major overhaul if you just want a smaller nose, or to get rid of a frownline or two.

The scary thing is, if you put Mugler in a harness and some buttless chaps, and threw in a sling - I'd probably hit that.

This is what I get for watching too many Titan movies…..

To really do a good article on bad plastic surgery, you need to compare before and after pics that are around the same time.

Everyone ages.

I can't tell from these pictures if the problem is aging or the plastic surgery.

The selected pictures defeat the purpose of the article.

It is also becoming more and more prevailant in the straight male community. Studies are showing that attractive people get the job,
get paid more, and get the promo. at the end of the day and business types are responding with having work done. I think the problem is that if a person does not like themselves they are apt to over do it where a person with a healthier sense of themselves might use it a little just to look there best such as Chris Noth getting rid of the bags under his eyes. He looks great.

Actually, his body is amazing. I would do him in a steam bath on all fours. Just another 100K and his face could look like Michael Jackson.

No David, you can't have it both ways. I appreciate the morning goods, but you can't post them then turn around and mock men who don't live up to those ideals by (gasp!) aging - or much less try and cover by calling it a "critique on gay culture."

What most people don't realize is that narcissism is addictive just like plastic surgery. The person spouting about business people get it done too, is right but it’s the business people that can’t offer ANYTHING else besides their “looks” in the equation. How much work has Warren Buffett and Bill Gates had done? Cosmetic surgery even when “done right” has lots of drawbacks and pitfalls. Your skin permanently loses strength and elasticity with surgery. These celebutards have “work done” because to them evasive surgery under general anesthetic is just like getting a suit dry-cleaned. To them it’s their skin and their body’s main function to get them work or laid or both. Protecting the body’s organs from damage is something they just don’t think about. Plastic surgery is marketed by CCM (corporate compliant media) for plastic surgeons. When was the last time any of them gave out freebes to needy wrinkled people? Remember a few years ago when EVERYONE had to get a tattoo and multiple piercing? Now that they are getting older I wonder how many regret disfiguring their bodies preeminently for a fad? Have you ever seen a flabby 60-year-old with a lot of faded ink covering his pasty body? Not pretty. Does any one know why tattoos were invented in biblical times? It was so members of a certain cult could find each other with out dragging their trailer with them.

preeminently= permanently

This is the big bummer about plastic surgery.
I would have no issue with it if it always worked.

Problem is..that these guys have a shit load of money and this is the BEST they could come up with. I would think with the money they have, they hired the best surgeons.

I agree with David, once you put yourself out there, you are fair game.

I wonder if it is tougher for dudes because we can't cover up all the scars with make up.

"I wonder if it is tougher for dudes because we can’t cover up all the scars with make up."

You obviously haven't seen photos of the many women who've gone under the knife and how ridiculous they look.

You guys needed THIS post to realize Hauslaib is vicious?! He STILL hasn't apologized for his involvement in slandering the innocent Duke lacrosse guys (who never asked to be made public figures).

I think that if plastic surgery makes you feel a little more confident and happier with your appearance, then who am I to criticize?

And Mugler? Yeah, I'd probably hit it.

Mugler's surgery and transformation are testimony to the plight of the aging gay male. That picture tells you all you need to know about our values.

He is 60. What will he do when he is 65 …then 70…then 75?

BTW - Mugler does NOT look good. His skin looks bad and I don't want to think about what his butt probably looks like.

So he gets a few more years of sex with a few pigs. Is that self-esteem? Is that happiness?

I don't think that David posted this to lampoon or make fun of those that go under the knife, but maybe more as a public service to those that may be considering it. A note of precaution if you will.

Stallone and Muglier can blame steroids for their
"harder" looks. Furthermore, if you would have
included the lower half of Muglier's body pic and showed off his huge uncut cock, I bet you wouldn't even have noticed his face was a little swollen.

Stallone looks like his own mother now.

In the end, I guess we have to lay the blame at the doorsteps of Blondie, Superman, and Betty Boop, for setting unrealistic and unattainable standards of beauty.

Al I can say is that Doctors have a long way to go before they perfect plastic surgery.

This is the best they can do in 2008?
