It’s been a long time since Ray Liotta earned his credibility for his role as Henry Hill in the mafia movie “Goodfellas”. Sometimes, we forget what this handsome Jersey man looked like.
Now that Ray is in his ’60s, it’s even harder to look back to his prime. The signs of aging, skin wrinkles and receding hairline are almost impossible to ignore.
Recently, the actor has become the subject of plastic surgery following his red carpet appearance. Fans are saying that he overdid his botox and looks unrecognizable.
While Liotta has never addressed these speculations, we want the truth.
Before & After Photos
In order to find out whether Ray Liotta had any procedures, we examined many pictured before and after he became famous. Here’s what we’ve found so far.
Did Ray Liotta Have Facelift?
It cannot be denied that Ray’s face has undergone a transformation over the years. You can easily notice the difference between his facial skin in these photos.
The before image shows Ray with sagging cheeks and an uneven skin tone. The after photo, however, shows a much-tightened and smoother face. While some may argue that he simply lost weight, a facelift is more likely the case.
What do you think?
Has Ray Had Botox Injections?
For his age, Ray doesn’t have prominent face wrinkles and that’s why we think he might be using botox. You can see his bloated cheeks here and he looks very different too.
The puffiness is more noticeable after he gained weight but made it look more natural.
Did He Get Hair Transplant?
It seems that Ray had a receding hairline problem at a relatively young age.
However, he seems to have addressed his hair loss problem early because he now has more hair. This indicates that Ray might have gotten a hair transplant procedure.
What about His Acne Scars?
It’s no secret that Ray had acne scars even when he was a rising star. Despite his handsome looks, he did not have a flawless skin texture, especially around the lower part of his face. The scars, however, added to his appeal as an actor who could do both good and bad roles.
We’re not exactly sure whether he has sought help from a dermatologist, but he certainly found the best way to hide his scars when he sported a beard to cover up. He looks good
Ray Liotta: Then and Now

We doubt he needed a nose job because he already has a perfect nose.

He showed his sense of style in this movie and there was no evidence of any work done to his jawline and chin. Everything looks natural to us.

Ray in 2002

Apart from the bad skin, aging may have contributed to the sagginess of his face, especially around the mouth area. His lips also looked thinner, thus giving him the unflattering Joker-like smile.

Ray in 2017

He most likely used face fillers to plump up his cheeks in an effort to look younger. Can you see how puffy his face looks?
