An AI model recently “predicted” how Meg Ryan should look at 64 🤖💻😷
•
The AI version looks like a tired, generic 60-something…the real Meg Ryan looks nothing like that 😎
•
Here’s the problem: facial-ageing algorithms are trained on average faces, not your face. They don’t know your genetics, your sun exposure, your smoking history, your stress levels, your skincare… or whether you’ve had some professional help along the way 👉 So they often “age” people into a rough caricature of what 60+ might look like, rather than what a specific person actually looks like 🪞👀
•
In real life, how we age is shaped by:
• Genetics
• Lifestyle (sun, smoking, weight, sleep, stress)
• Hormones & bone changes
• Skincare, injectables, surgery
• Photography – angle, lighting, makeup, filters 🎬📽️🎥📀
•
As a plastic surgeon, my job is not to judge who has had what done. It’s to help patients understand what’s realistic, what’s safe, and what will actually make them feel better in their own skin 😷
•
Ageing isn’t a moral test you “pass” by staying natural. Some people choose procedures, some don’t. Both are valid!
•
If you’re tempted to trust an AI filter about what you’ll look like in 20 years… don’t. Talk to a human who understands faces instead 🥼🧑⚕️🩻🩺😷
