Nicolas Cage has been a Hollywood favorite since he starred as the kid from the other side of the hill in the 1983 film Valley Girl. But after his turn in Face/Off, many wondered if Nic has really had plastic surgery.

At 45, Nicolas Cage is still good-looking enough to attract significantly younger women, like his current wife, 24-year old Alice Kim. Many actors begin having plastic surgery in their 30s, to ward off the appearance of aging that is likely to occur in their 40s. However, Nicolas seems to be facial-filler free, but he likely takes good care of his skin.
Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, Nicolas Cages most recent photos do not look much different to me than his images in previous years.He does not have a Botox Look.He does have a better skin tone and looks well rested.
However, just because Nic hasnt been under the knife lately, doesnt mean he hasnt had plastic surgery in the past. Many actors have a nose job early in their careers and Nicolas may be a prime example of this. Nicolas has also been fighting a receeding hairline for sometime and covers it up using a series of hairpieces, like fellow thespian Jeremy Piven. (See Make Me Heals story on Jeremy Pivens hairloss).
According to Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., Nicolas Cage may have had a rhinoplasty a long time ago, as his nose appears to be a little pinched. He could also benefit from hair transplant surgery or a better hairpiece.
Whatever the secret to Nicolas Cages youthful appearance he certainly looks great in his latest film, Knowing
