Cristiano Ronaldo turned 40 last February. Yet, when he still steps onto the field, he looks like a 25-26 year old running around in a tugging bag. Sometimes, even 20-22 year olds can’t keep up with his speed. Spanish media outlet The Marca wrote, Ronaldo’s age is like fine wine, especially when you compare his teenage photos with his current ones.
When Ronaldo takes a picture of his bare body, it seems like how young he is! His face also exudes youth. But how is this possible at the age of 40? He has spent his entire life on the field. Hard work, discipline, following the rules and a controlled diet have set Ronaldo apart from others. Ronaldo lovers or football fans around the world know this information for now.
However, Ronaldo may hide some secrets for his youthful appearance even at the age of 40. A plastic surgeon has revealed some secrets behind the former Real Madrid star footballer’s youthfulness or eternal youth. He believes that this Portuguese star has clearly undergone some surgeries to achieve his current appearance and youth.

The Daily Mail’s Isabel Baldwin spoke to renowned New York plastic surgeon Dr. Eli Levine about the secret to Cristiano Ronaldo’s youthful appearance. Levine has never worked with Ronaldo, but he believes the Al-Nasr FC star has spent a fortune on numerous surgeries to maintain his youthful appearance.
Now the question may arise, what kind of surgery did Ronaldo have? Dr. Levine believes that CR7 underwent rhinoplasty (also known as a nose job) to improve the shape of his nose. The surgeon believes that Ronaldo’s nasal bone was broken and reshaped.
In addition, it should be added that Ronaldo had previously undergone orthodontics (treatment to change the size of the teeth). However, Cristiano did not hide this early in his professional career. To put it another way, Ronaldo has undergone dental treatment such as veneers, which are used to make teeth look white and straight.
Levine also believes that the Portuguese star underwent surgery to reduce the space above the gums. Overall, Levine claims that Ronaldo’s youthful appearance is not due to his hard work, discipline, adherence to rules and controlled diet. Rather, he has also kept himself attractive through surgery.
