Plastic surgery rumors seemed to gain traction after social media users shared before-and-after photos of Tom Brady following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl 55 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021. At the time, fans compared his first and 10th Super Bowl appearances, with many speculating he had Botox, a nose job, a hair transplant and jaw surgery, among others.
In the months thereafter, Brady shared photos showcasing his noticeably slimmer face.

Brady debuted a younger-looking face at the Los Angeles premiere of 80 for Brady in January 2023, a month before he announced his NFL retirement.
The plastic surgery buzz started making rounds online again when the official Instagram page of the NFL uploaded a reel featuring the father-of-three. In the September 2023 clip, Brady opened up about whether he thinks the league is “scripted,” but his chiseled appearance garnered attention as fans theorized he either went under the knife or overdid the enhancement with Botox.
A few days later, the former New England Patriots quarterback spoke about his 10-pound weight-loss months after leaving the sport.
“I haven’t had the stress that I had while I was playing so that’s allowed me to focus a little bit more on my physical health,” he said in a February episode of the “Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray” podcast.
Brady added, “Physical and mental health is so important to all of us. Without that, what do we really have? You could prioritize a lot of other things — career, kids, relationships, family, greater good, community. But at the end of the day, physical and mental health should sit at the top of the pyramid.”
Speculations Intensified in 2023

Brady’s “gaunt appearance” sparked further concerns post-retirement, with some fans comparing him to a “wax figure.”
In October 2023, a plastic surgeon claimed the football legend “relaxed the treatments” after reportedly spending thousands of dollars on Botox injections during his time in the NFL.
“Tom looks like he is actually doing less Botox than what he was doing before he retired,” plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Westreich told The U.S. Sun. “He appears to be moving his forehead now and it is not super smooth like it was before.”
He continued, “It is possible Tom does not want that full frozen effect from Botox anymore. Too many injections can also cause droopy eyelids, which he would want to avoid.”
