The once-beloved sitcom star — seen here in his 2015 mug shot — has already played the sympathy card by claiming he’s practically blind and an invalid. Now, surgeons consulted by The National ENQUIRER say that Cosby has altered his face! The work is meant to “make him look less like an angry old man,” and win over the jury, said cosmetic surgeon Dr. Lyle Back, who hasn’t treated the accused predator.

“He’s in the fight of his life, so, of course, he’s going to do everything he can to invoke trust,” added the doctor from his practice in Cherry Hill, N.J. — saying that he believes the shamed star has “lightened his skin a bit” with a chemical peel and micro-needling. “A brighter, cleaner, fresher look to the skin is a person people will likely trust or believe more,” said Dr. Back.

“If you look at pictures from last year,” the doctor added, “he was beginning to look dark, menacing, old and grumpy ... maybe even sinister. This procedure is more to create a sense of friendliness.” Cosby may even have had more facial fixes to seem more likable before facing a Pennsylvania jury in June on charges of sexually assaulting Temple University worker Andrea Constand in 2004.

Dr. Back believes the “mess of moles around the lower eyelid and cheek” of Cosby has been removed, along with crow’s feet around the eyes. He also says the uneven pigmentation of Cosby's skin “has been evened out and improved.”

The comic, who's been accused of drugging and raping dozens of women since the 1960s, got some “Botox around his eyes and forehead to take away some of the serious, heavy, angry look he was developing with age,” added Dr. Back. While the makeover is not so extreme that it’s obvious, the nip/tucks are all for the jury, the surgeon believes.

“This is not the time for a full face-lift,” said Dr. Back. “You don’t want to come in with a million-dollar makeover, because you don’t want to look like you’re buying sympathy from the jury. He’s done this to make the best impression on a jury — and maybe save his life!”

Cosby’s rep, Andrew Wyatt, denies the comic has had a makeover, adding, “They’re not moles, but freckles.” But former Brooklyn prosecutor Gerald Allen says the cosmetic improvements follow Cosby’s other strategy to win sympathy as “an infirm, older man. People believe he’s blind and disoriented. But a smart defense attorney will always want his client to look his best for the circumstances of the trial.”
