Simon Cowell is known for his sharp tongue on shows like America’s Got Talent and The X Factor. But lately, it’s his face that’s getting all the attention. Fans have speculated about his changing appearance for years. A plastic surgeon confirmed that the music mogul had a facelift and fillers to achieve his new look.
Dr. Randa Jaafar, a top aesthetics injector and a board-certified pain doctor, exclusively told Reality Tidbit that Simon had several cosmetic procedures.
These included a 21st-century facelift known as a Silhouette Soft Lift. “He could’ve improved the surgeries by having a more precise and efficient placement of filler,” Jaafar revealed, adding, “A professional and attentive plastic surgeon would have also improved his procedures immensely.”
Cowell, who had this non-surgical procedure in 2018, shocked fans with his new look. The facelift, which reportedly cost around £2,000, was designed to smooth out fine lines and give him a more youthful appearance. However, his current look has left many wondering if Simon might have gone too far.
Simon Cowell’s Transformation Cost
Dr. Jaafar says Simon Cowell’s facelift cost $20,000 to $80,000. The price depends on the procedure’s complexity and the surgeon’s skill. Simon has admitted to using Botox. It reduces aging signs by targeting faint lines before they become more prominent. “Preventive Botox could reduce the need for frequent treatments in the future,” Jaafar explained.
Though Simon’s appearance has been a hot topic for years, he has remained candid about his cosmetic enhancements. In a 2018 interview, he revealed, “It hurt like hell but achieved the desired effect.”
However, it seems not everyone is sold on the results. While Simon likely hoped for a refreshed look, some fans and experts believe that his facial work could have been handled differently.
Simon Cowell’s Shocking Pandemic Struggles
While fans and plastic surgeons dissect his new look, Simon Cowell opened up about a different challenge: his mental health struggles during the pandemic. In a candid interview, Simon revealed that the lockdowns took a toll on him. The isolation and anxiety led him to seek therapy.
“At one point, I felt like everything was closing in,” Simon admitted. The usually composed judge explained that his battle with mental health forced him to take a step back and focus on his well-being. Therapy, he says, helped him regain control and return to his many projects, including his judging role on America’s Got Talent.
The Internet Can’t Get Over Simon’s Birthday Serenade
Simon’s appearance kept fans talking. On his 65th birthday, the reality TV king made them smile. Simon went on Instagram to sing “Happy Birthday” to himself. It was a hilarious rendition. He commented, “And that’s why I decided never to be a singer.””
Fans, along with his AGT co-hosts, were quick to respond. Howie Mandel joked, “I bought you something so amazing I kept it for myself,” while Heidi Klum shared a sweet message: “Happy Happy Birthday Simon. Love you with all my heart.”
Former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey also chimed in. He recalled Simon’s signature criticism: “Sometimes you were mean, but I probably deserved it.””
The lighthearted moment showed fans Simon’s playful side. But, it reminded them why he hasn’t performed on stage. He’s stayed behind the judging table.
