How much "work" did Prince have over done the years?

Prince was certainly a "pretty man". So charismatic and just beautiful, but I wonder how much of that was due to genetics and how much due to further improvements, via surgery?

.

He definitely looked like he thinned his nose some from the early days and his jawline jsut looked fiferent. And I remember in 1994, it looked like he had had some work done. And he seemed a bit "pulled back" in the facial area a couple of times.

.

And nothing wrong with that and doesn't make him overly vain. It made him smart because he was a performer and your physical appearance is a huge part of that, and why not just look better if you can.

I don't believe that Prince ever had any work done, of course I do not know for sure. But based on what I know of him, I don't believe so. I do think Prince took care of his appearance, though. I'm 23, but even seeing his first American Bandstand performance video and pictures from back then? Prince was an extremely handsome, beautiful ('pretty'), young man. At all stages of his life, he exhibited that same beauty. I see the growth and difference between the different stages as completely natural. From the photos of him with the afro as a teen to his early 20's: there's a shift but it's all very natural looking, as though puberty was continuing to take course. I also believe when he developed facial hair and grew his hair out after Purple Rain, he looked very different, but just a matured version of himself.

At a certain point in performances and photos/album covers, I think he looks different but I accredit that to eyebrows and clothing styling. All in all, I think he aged just how he was naturally supposed to. If you look up-close as well at certain images you can see that he did in-fact age, but still had his original features. I also think his weight played a role in certain eras. I just think he took supreme care of himself, that's all, and I don't believe that was through the help of cosmetic surgery. Handsome man though, indeed. It makes me wish we could have saw MJ age naturally as well.

I think he definitely had some botox in the past few years, he had wrinkles appearing a few years back that seemed to have gone away later. Other than that I'd have no idea.

It's obviously he's never had surgery. He had some really bad photoshop in the Musicology era. But aside from possibly botox at times (he's always been obsessed with his forehead not having a crinkle, apparently), he's never been under the knife.

People have morphed pics of him from 1977, and pics of him in the last six months, and the nose, lips, and jaw are exactly the same. His eyes match perfectly. People gain and lose weight, and it often shows in their face first. But to suggest he's had surgery is ridiculous.

The fact that Prince has lived a relatively clean life (aside from some wine or port here and there), and the God given gift of 'black don't crack', I don't believe he's had any plastic surgery at all.

--/ He had wrinkles under his eyes when he was on the Grammies last year. I think he had work done to his teeth. His parents were attractive people no reason for him not to look.
