Tom Cruise rose quickly in early 1980s Hollywood, and showbiz insiders say the gifted star remains desperate to maintain his boyish good looks and stay atop of the heap as he approaches his sixties — with the help of plastic surgery! Although the Scientology-loving “Mission: Impossible” actor insists he’s never been nipped or tucked, a snitch claimed, “He refuses to age gracefully — or naturally. People are whispering he’s had a face-lift and maybe even a neck-lift. Everyone’s doing double takes because he looks like he hasn’t aged at all!” The National ENQUIRER consulted a panel of medical experts — who have not treated the “Top Gun” star — to weigh in on “work” Tom may or may not have had done. Read on for their analysis, and click here for more news of celebrity plastic surgery….

THE HAIR “Tom looks like he had some work done on his hairline — it’s possible he’s had some hair transplants,” said Michigan-based plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn. “He also may have undergone less invasive treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections to fill the area out,” adds Dr. Youn, referring to a process in which a patient’s processed blood is injected into the scalp to encourage hair growth.

THE MOUTH In 2002, Cruise’s camp admitted he’d been wearing braces to straighten out his smile, but New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Lyle Back thinks he may not have stopped there. “Between braces, veneers and things of that nature, you can get a nice set of teeth if you have the money. Spending $40,000 to have your teeth look nice is not unheard of, for the amount of work he seems to have had,” he said.

THE NECK New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Yoel Shahar believes: “There has been significant improvement made to Tom’s neck.” Compared to previous photos of the actor, “the wrinkles in the neck, they are now vertical, and the skin is tighter. They did some kind of pull behind the ear.” Noting Tom’s more defined jawline, Dr. Shahar said, “The skin is tighter than it had been in recent years.”

THE CHEEKS “His face looks like he’s had some injections of filler into his cheeks,” observed Dr. Youn. “
He had a very pudgy face for a while,” added Dr. Back. “He had some filler work done and may have overdone it. But it’s gone down now. He looks really good and is aging youthfully.”

THE NOSE “I think he had some real nice work done on his nose,” noted Dr. Back, calling the adjustment “gentle” and “minimal” in nature. “Doctors who do rhinoplasty on women tend to give guys a traditionally feminine nose. His was well done — not overdone! He’s got the right people in his corner.”
