Do you suppose Prince has had plastic surgery in his career? Or done something to his skin color?

You can see in his high school photos, he looked very dark. Then around 1994 ("Love Sign" video) he was quite light.

I honestly believe that sometime in, oh maybe the last 5 years, he's had at least some kind of procedure to reduce the undereye bag situation. This doesn't always mean surgery, per se -- in some cases, you can have a dermal filler injected around the eye bag and the filler plumps up the hollow area below the bag therefore giving a more smooth appearance. then of course there is the regular old nip and tuck bag surgery which he could certainly afford the best doc if he wanted to go that route.

I don't think he's done anything else (but what do I know?) to his face or skin, but to me it DOES look like he's had those bags removed. Otherwise he looks pretty untouched. And btw, I'm talking about the NOT overly photoshopped and retouched pics where I say it looks like he had bags and nowadays doesn't.

Prince looks just fine

It's called make-up! Look how it transforms women. It's almost like sorcery!

I don't think he has had any procedures. I know a lot of people speculate he had rhinoplasty in the early '80s but I don't think so. In the late '70s and early '80s he was still young and still had time to grow into his features. Also factors like weight loss/gain can change the appearance of features.

In regards to him bleaching, I don't think so either. It's just because he spends a hell of a lot of time inside and also, lives in Minnesota. Not the hottest state in the USA. If he lived in California he would probably be more tan but he lives in a white box in the middle of Chanhassen, lol.

he got a couple ribs out so he can give himself a BJ... jesus I love this tabloid bullshit

Prince has taken good care of himself, ate well and exercised, I'd imagine if he had any work done by now (or soon), it would be for (minimal) sagging under the face and the eyes. He has always worn quite a bit of make-up so he's used to concealing and a little nick and tuck has to be right up his alley.

he most certainly has had eye surgery for the bags.

i remember when he came to toronto in the early 00's for a raptors game,

he had the most ridiculous bags under his eyes i've ever seen (and he

wasn't sporting shades either). and then lo and behold, they were virtually

gone during the musicology tour. you can see hints of it still.

but considering he had peculiar sleeping hours, he's bound to get serious

bags under his eyes and it would be no surprise if he gets under his eyes

done from time to time (and take a short break from touring to heal).

all my opinion, though. I know if i don't get a good 8 hours sleep, i look like

hell. now think of a man who notoriously sleeps little. it has to catch up to him,

especially at his age.

Got any pics? I've tried looking for pics from this era (I don't have too many) and you might have a point. He might not have had surgery though it could just be really good concealer. I have bad dark circles under my eyes so I cover it up sometimes with concealer.

I met him a few years back on a hot day and he had on no makeup, though he was dressed to the nines and had his hair up high. He looked like a man in his mid 50's indeed. Healthy, styled, but indeed he has lines around his eyes and that famous mole is far from perfect like in photos or on stage. It made me feel good. Show biz is show biz and stage make up is a miracle worker. I'm an actor and use it myself onstage.

Can you eleborate on the mole?

I dunno I always wondered if he had a nose job...

even though he said he didnt Ive always thought he did.

When I went to see Graffiti Bridge in the theatre,the moment that Prince first appeared,the lady in back of me blurted out "Look at that nose job!" I really don't think that he ever had a nose job,though.His nose has always looked the same to me
