Meg Ryan Allegedly Had Botched Facelift; Doc Says Her Face Is 'A Mess'

Meg Ryan may have gotten a botched facelift, a celebrity facial plastic surgeon has claimed.

The 61-year-old actress' appearance in her new movie, "What Happens Later," has become a hot topic on social media recently, with some fans claiming she looks unrecognizable and suggesting that she got work done on her face.

While the "When Harry Met Sally" star has not publicly admitted to getting plastic surgery, Dr. Sam Rizk told the New York Post that he believes Ryan may have gotten a "bad facelift."

"She's a mess," the plastic surgeon told the outlet of Ryan. "I think she had a bad facelift in the wrong direction, sideways, instead of vertical."

Rizk claimed that Ryan's mouth being "twice the size" compared to when she was younger was evidence that she underwent horizontal surgery.

"The only way a mouth can get bigger as you get older . . . is if it's pulled sideways," he noted.

Rizk, who reportedly operated on "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Jennifer Fessler, went on to claim that Ryan may have also gotten fillers injected into her lips and her cheeks.

"She has doughy cheeks that were never there before. Cheeks never get bigger as you get older," the expert pointed out.

Rizk claimed that Ryan's eyes now appear smaller than when she was younger due to her fuller cheeks.

"When you have a lot of filler or fat in your cheeks, and you smile, where does it go? The cheeks go up, and what's above the cheek, the eyes," he told the Post.

Rizk's comments came after several fans called out Ryan on social media for her changing looks following the release of her new film, "What Happens Later," last week.

"I love Meg Ryan, but what happened to her face? She was sooo beautiful with big expressive eyes," one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"Great to see Meg Ryan back with her bread and butter, but lord, I wish she didn't mess with her face," another tweeted.

"Rename the film . . . 'What Happens With Meg Ryan's Face,'" a third person wrote.

Back in 2015, Ryan addressed the plastic surgery rumors, telling Porter magazine: "There are more important conversations than how women look and how they are aging."

She added: "I love my age. I love my life right now . . . I love the person I've become, the one I've evolved into."

In "What Happens Later," Ryan stars opposite David Duchovny as Willa and Bill, ex-lovers who "will see each other for the first time in years when they both find themselves snowed in, in transit, at an airport overnight," according to the movie synopsis via IMDb.

Ryan also directed the rom-com, which comes eight years after her last film, her 2015 directorial debut, "Ithaca."
