From Make Me Heal
Peter O’Toole, the celebrated thespian who rose to fame in the 1962 film “Lawrence of Arabia”, is rumored to have had a
blepharoplasty (
eyelid surgery) and
Botox. The seventysomething actor manages to have a smooth forehead free of any deep horizontal wrinkles, frown lines, and glabellar lines (the lines between the eyebrows) that typically grace the face of a man of his age. Additionally, O’Toole’s “open” eyes, the lack of undereye bags, and lack of hooding of skin over his eyes suggests that he had a blepharoplasty. Plastic surgeon
Anthony Youn says “Peter O’Toole’s smooth forehead could be a sign of recent Botox injections. In addition to a minimum of wrinkles in the forehead, the Oscar nominated actor also appears to have retraction of his lower eyelids. This can be the result of scar tissue or too much skin being removed during a blepharoplasty. It can create dry eyes and the look of the lower eyelids being drawn downward.” Having inspected various photos of O’Toole from different time periods, it appears that O’Toole’s blepharoplasty was done in the early to mid 1980’s.
