Jimmy Carr has been open about his surgeries over the years and there is no denying that his appearance has changed drastically since he rose to fame in the early 2000s.
The Channel 4 comedian, 52, has always been a good sport about his love of cosmetic procedures and often becomes the butt of his own jokes.
The 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown host has previously confessed to a series of ‘tweaks’ including a hair transplant, veneers and Botox.
But Jimmy finally seems to be happy with his appearance and revealed that even his plastic surgeon has advised against certain treatments.
In 2021, the star opened up about his ‘mid-life crisis’ and admitted he had been disappointed with his appearance.
Jimmy Carr, 53, has been open about his surgeries over the years and there’s no denying that his appearance has changed drastically since he rose to fame in the early 2000s.
The 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown host has previously confessed to a series of ‘tweaks’ including a hair transplant, veneers and Botox.
In 2021, the star opened up about his ‘mid-life crisis’ and admitted he had been disappointed with his appearance (pictured in 2022).
Speaking on Gabby Logan’s Midpoint podcast at the time, Jimmy said he decided to make some adjustments to his appearance after feeling disappointed that he doesn’t look as good in real life as he does on TV.
He said: ‘I got my teeth done, that was the first thing I did, they’re more than veneers. They did all the teeth in my head at once.
“I was in the chair for 12 hours the first day, then 12 hours the second, it was like a three-day thing where you have temporary things, it’s pretty packed.
‘I think they gave me Rohypnol intravenously in my vein and you’re like off and they do everything and you’re fine. It’s like a dreamy haze, you’re in a strange space.’
Jimmy has also confessed that he wants to maintain his appearance instead of changing it too much.
He said: “I think the age thing is that people don’t really see what’s there, people are good at recognizing patterns, that’s all they do, teeth and hair.”
“The thing is to maintain, I don’t think there’s anything you can do in terms of plastic surgery or augmentation, that will make you look better, you can just order it to stay the same, that’s what you can expect.”
And the star doesn’t seem to mind talking about his procedures, incorporating them into his stand-up routines and even joked that his use of Botox is helpful as a parent.
But the star seems much happier with her appearance these days and previously explained that she had gone under the knife to make her appearance match what she saw in her head (pictured in 2005).
Over the years, the star has undergone a full hair transplant, veneers and regular doses of Botox, but has also said she now exercises more and eats healthily.
He said in 2022: ‘I take a lot of omega-3 fish oils and try to eat well and exercise but, let’s face it, by then I may have forgotten all my wisdom and where I left my keys. At least I’ll still look the part. Thanks to the wonders of my plastic surgeon, I hope my son doesn’t notice that I’m older than the other dads.
“He will come and talk to me about his problems because, unlike other dads, I will never seem surprised or surprised, disappointed or sad, mainly because Botox has robbed me of the ability to move my forehead.” Like everyone else, you know, I’m going to die, although in my case, much of me won’t biodegrade. I imagine my teeth will outlive us all.
The star underwent a hair transplant that same year and joked on the podcast that she was considering transplanting pubic hair onto her head for the operation.
He said: ‘The hair thing, I actually looked into it, I came up with Edward Ball at the Maitland Clinic in Portsmouth. I went to all the places on Harley Street.
‘You walk in there, the front of the office is spotless and the loveliest guy is selling it, the guy selling it has good hair.
“Then you meet the doctor who’s doing it, a GP somewhere who wants to make a few quid and says, ‘I’ll do it.'” No, you need a plastic surgeon who is qualified to do it. The guy I used is a plastic surgeon and has an aesthetic thing.
‘They get it from the back of the head. You shave your head completely, which I loved; A shaved head looked good on me, which surprised me.’
He added: ‘I’ve had the same hairline since I was 17, I had a big widow’s peak. He looked like a vampire’s accountant. It was right after the lockdown that I did it.”
The television personality said that in addition to these physical changes, she has also been exercising a lot and taking a lot of protein and vitamin pills.
Despite the long list of procedures the presenter has undergone, there is one operation that his surgeon refuses to perform: buccal fat removal.
Jimmy has joked that his love of Botox is actually a blessing as a parent because no matter what his kids tell him, he will never seem surprised (pictured with his wife Karoline in 2020).
He said: “The cosmetic thing is kind of nonsense, it’s the feeling of better.” And there is the exercise I do and the pills I take; I take a lot of pills as part of a health review.
But despite the long list of procedures the presenter has undergone, there is one operation that his surgeon refuses to perform.
In March, the comedy quiz show host revealed that his doctor won’t be performing any major treatments.
He told the Happy Hallow Jeans podcast: “I asked him about buccal fat reduction, one of the One Direction guys did it, I think it’s Liam (Payne).
‘I’m sure you can upload a photo, but they remove the fat from there (points to the sides of his mouth) so you go from having, I mean, I’ve always had chubby cheeks.
‘It doesn’t matter how much weight you lose. I could weigh 50kg and still have chubby cheeks. But from here they take out your fat (pointing to his cheeks) so that you look chiseled and model.’
The comedian said his plastic surgeon expressed concern that patients who had undergone the procedure often looked worse in their 50s and advised against it.
But the star seems much happier with her appearance these days and previously explained that she had gone under the knife to make her appearance match what she saw in her head.
He said in 2021: “it’s the illusion of being on TV: you see yourself fully made up looking your best and well lit, then you look in the mirror and say, ‘Ugh, that’s disappointing.'”
