After seeing the One Nite Alone pics, I can't get over how different Prince looks. I am seriously wondering if he has had some kind of plastic surgery. It's not just that his face has matured, it's different somehow.

There was a time when I thought Prince would never do something like that. Now, I'm not so sure...

Maybe his nose, if that. Just be thankful he didn't get ridiculous about it like MJ did.

Prince is all natural he never would have plastic surgery... He has in the past worn make up that was a shade or two lighter than his actual complexion but that is about it.. The man does not believe in blood transfusions, so for him to have an unnecessary surgery not way.. lol... smile...

I guess this Q will never stop coming up.

NO, he hasn't had any surgery. Angles & lighting folks, that's what it's all about...

he never thought about height growth surgery!??

This seems like a perfectly legitimate question when we see somewhat recent pictures that don't appear to be affected too much by "angles and lighting."

something is up with under his eyes.

did he get surgery? I don't know because I haven't seen him live in person.. BUT the pics of him and Mani at the Timberwolves game.. you can see he had bags!

BUT in the pics they are not there? I think he hasn't and they just "touch up"/airbrush with adobe photoshop ALL his official released photos.

The timberwolves shots were from a newpaper.. NOT npg

Of course we don't know if Prince had
plastic surgery or not, but when I saw him
at the celebration, I thought he looked like
he looked when he was younger, but maybe it
is just expensive creams and makeup.

NEVER!!! He doesn't need it, he is perfection himself and you can't perfect perfection. So there!!!

this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. If you compare the Timberwolves pics with the ONA pics, there is a dramatic difference.

Just an observation.

I'm just not sure the "after" pics are so great. He kinda looks like a doll or something. But, hey, whatever turns his crank.

Of course if you're referring to the ONA pics on his official website, do you really think he'd put pics up that didn't show him in his best light?

The Timberwolves pics were probably not officially sanctioned, the ONA pics definitely were.

Bags under the eyes, yeah, everybody gets them eventually. Some more than others. The guy is notorious for not sleeping much. When you get more sleep the bags seem to be less obvious if they weren't permanently obvious before.

think it is just the make-up when he is on stage. But also think he just keeps himself in fine shape

You're all funny guys.
One one side you want Prince to stay young,
one the other you wouldn't like him having plastic surgery.
If you were 44 & had the money to look like 25,
(& a young woman), would you hesitate ?
There's nothing wrong with "light" plastic surgery I think,
just as long as it doesn't make you look like the other wacko...

I think LOCOARTS is right. You can't really judge by looking at a photo. Any good photographer wouldn't even let a blemish slide. State of the art photo technology can make your face look flawless. As far as the old pics go, I think he grew into his nose.

May be why he's so shy and humble...

All commercially released promotional pictures of Prince are air-brushed. ALL of them. Additionally, the man wears make up. He doesn't wear as much as he used to appearantly, since some of you are shocked by the recent appearance of bags under his eyes, etc. And "angles and lighting" do make all the difference in the world.

who cares!

It really doesn't matter to me whether he has or he hasn't.
I agree that angles and airbrushing can do wonders. Most individuals in the public eye that are conscientious about their appearance only want pictures taken from specific angles, sides, etc. If you are comparing earlier Prince pictures with older ones, you will notice that with the exception of the first two albums, most pictures are angled down rather than straight on which provides a different angle of the nose, chin, etc. Also the manner in which make-up is applied provides shading to either highlight or detract from certain areas.
I don't really think that Prince has had plastic surgery. However, if he has, it has been in keeping with his natural God given gifts and only enhanced. And I see nothing wrong with that.

I don't think so he's just one of those people who age gracefully. You got to admit he looks great for 44.

computers work wonders nowadays.

Man, who cares he is simply beautiful, surgery or not. One thing I did notice about him at the Celebration is that he doesn't seem to sweat on his face as much as he does everywhere else. Maybe he's had some botox injected into his forehead. I'm really happy he never went to the same extreme as MJ. MJ being the same age looks 15 years older than Prince.
