Aesthetic excesses: if Mickey Rourke goes against natural results

While facial plastic surgery has undergone a profound transformation in recent decades, evaluating more and more natural results, a case attracts attention: that of the actor Mickey Rourke, which is mentioned in many current media as an example of how excessively performed procedures can make an unrecognizable person. Rourke, who was one of the most surprising faces of cinema in the 80s, was subjected to facial transformations which, he said, declared in the interviews, were the consequence of multiple corrective surgical interventions after “boxing lesions”.

“However, the succession of interventions mainly from the fillers in recent years has finally distorted their original strokes, creating an aspect that many consider not very natural”, explains Wellerson Mattioli, plastic surgeon, director of the modern sculpture clinic, a complete member of the Brazilian plastic surgery (SBCP) society. “Today, in plastic surgery, we seek more than simply rejuvenating or altering the traits: the goal is to preserve the patient’s identity, respect their facial proportions and obtain a beautiful, natural and elegant result.”

According to the doctor, unfortunately today many professionals have used exaggerated filler, generating unnatural results. “With this, there is an increase in the demand for plastic surgery on the face, since the technique chooses to bring more harmonious results, highlighting the beauty of the patient,” says the expert.

According to the latest survey of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (Isaps), in 2023, over 800,000 procedures were performed in Brazil, which places the country in the world’s top place of surgical interventions in this category. “The theme is an important debate here, because as a specialist in face surgery, I believe that this type of transformation makes us reflect on the importance of careful planning,” says Wellerson.

The doctor underlines that each face has a unique structure and the function of modern plastic surgery is to enhance (not erase) this individuality. “Other current techniques such as the deep plan faculty allow you to treat the signs of aging with subtlety, preserving the expressiveness and authenticity of the face. Today’s facial aesthetic is based on balance: well distributed volumes, soft contours and natural movements. We do not try to change the face, but to restore their vitality, respecting the patient’s essence.

Cases like Rourke, according to the expert, serve as a warning not only for professionals in the sector, but also for patients: the choice of the surgeon, the understanding of the limits of the technique and clarity in the objectives are fundamental for a good result, according to Wellerson. “Plastic surgery is, first of all, an art – and like all art, should be done with sensitivity, technique and common sense”, concludes.
