Richie has served as a judge on ABC’s American Idol for the previous six seasons, and he is expected to return for the 2023-2024 season.

In 2018, he won the Ivor Novello PRS for Music Special International Award. The native of Tuskegee, Alabama, is a true music legend.

The 74-year-old music icon has no plans to stop anytime soon. The singer is unconcerned about his age because he does not wish to retire, and admirers have noted that he appears young for his age.

So, what’s the secret behind Lionel Richie’s youthful appearance? Has he had any help from plastic surgery? Let’s find out:

Has Lionel Richie had plastic surgery?

Several fans have noticed that the ‘Penny Lover’ singer does not have any wrinkles on his face, and to express their thoughts on his possible plastic surgery, they have taken to Twitter.

One Twitter user said:

“I think Lionel Richie is happy but I don’t think his face can physically show emotion anymore with that plastic surgery.”

Likewise, another user claimed that too much plastic surgery has made Lionel Richie’s face look a little odd.

In 2006, Guardian reported that a plastic surgeon had been jailed for malpractice.

According to the outlet, Richie was among the list of his clientele.

However, the legendary singer has never admitted to going under the knife, and unless the music icon confirms himself, it’s basically just a rumor.

Here is the list of cosmetic procedures Lionel Richie has had, in accordance with people’s beliefs.

Did Lionel get Botox?

In his younger years, Richie had a more regular contour, but for some reason, his face now appears to be much smoother and line-free.

Individuals do not age in overturned in the same way that “black does not crack.” As a result, why does the “Endless Love” hitmaker appear to be younger?

It’s simple– he has had the help of Botox.

Facelift?

If Richie’s face gets natural Botox, he’ll have a makeover as well.

In this afterimage, his face appears to be both tighter and stretched. A distinct “lift” on the upper portion of his face, particularly the cheekbones and temples, is visible on his face.

Over the years, Lionel has maintained his signature curly and lush hair. However, based on these before and after images, he had some thinning moments.

Was this a precursor to hair loss?

People believe so, and it appears that Richie noticed it early as well, since he was able to repair his receding hairline with a hair transplant.
