Gary Busey Plastic Surgery Before and After Facelift and Eyelid Surgery

Gary Busey’s personal life has made him nearly as famous as his on-screen antics. From arrests to motorcycle accidents, Gary’s active lifestyle has taken a toll on his face that plastic surgery did very little to correct.

While some have speculated that Gary’s uneven eyes are the result of a botched facelift or eyelid surgery, us believes it is more likely that they are a consequence of the motorcycle accident Gary experienced.

On his blog, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn explains:

“I understand that Gary Busey was in a terrible motorcycle accident some time ago, which caused significant brain damage and possibly also facial bone fractures. The head injury could explain his extra-friendly behavior to Jennifer Garner on the red carpet of the Oscars, and an orbit fracture can explain the asymmetry in his eyes. He may have a condition of his left eye called orbital dystopia, which occurs when the floor of the eye socket is fractured, causing the eyeball to migrate downward. It is frequently combined with enopthalmos, where the eyeball becomes sunken in due to similar factors. It can be improved via facial recontruction surgery, often using bone from his skull or a titanium plate to remake the floor of his eye socket.”

While Gary’s eyes certainly give him a jarring appearance, part of his plasticized look come from his apparent dental veneers.

Plastic surgeon Dr Sherrell J Aston says, “It does appear that Mr. Busey has had dental veneers. They may be a little bit large in some people’s judgment.”

Ocbody.com Surgeon John Di Saia MD says, “I think he had them a while ago. They seem too large. Maybe he had them redone.”

While straight, white teeth are often taken as a sign of youth, when they are too perfect they can end up looking like false teeth and actually age a person, as in the case of young Ali Lohan(See Make Me Heal’s story on Ali Lohan’s dental veneers).

New York plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, “It certainly looks like Gary Busey has dental veneers. Veneers can often look strange if they are too perfect.”

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said, “It is likely that Gary Busey had veneers. Veneers can look like perfect teeth, which are evident on Gary.”

I like Gary Busey. Who doesn’t? Well, if you have seen him on Celebrity Apprentice it appears that some people don’t. I’m not sure if they really don’t like him or only get a little frazzled by his unpredictability. I don’t have to make him do anything constructive so I don’t have any problems with his style. This creative spontaneous style is apparently due in part to the brain damage he suffered in a motorcycle accident in 1988 that fractured his skull. Perhaps, part of it is due to the cocaine habit he had for many years or whatever else he did that we don’t know about. Anyway, he is still a likable guy.

Gary’s story is more a before and after motorcycle accident story than it is a before and after plastic surgery story. If he hadn’t had the accident, he probably wouldn’t have done much to his raw tough features. Well, he lives in Hollywood so who knows. The accident clearly damaged the structure and tissue of his face and it is still very noticeable when he is smiling because on the left side around his eye the muscle doesn’t work as originally designed. The doctors I’m sure did their to repair the injury. If Gary has had a few more procedures or will in the future to fix things up a bit who can blame him.

Now, the huge horse teeth porcelain veneers are another story. His teeth may have been damage in the accident too but these ones are just too big. Now that its done, how do you downsize?
