Rose McGowan Surgically Altered Face Is Costing Her Movie Roles

Rose McGowan’s career has a lot to suffer from her fondness for plastic surgery, report claims

Actress Rose McGowan has made no secret of her fondness for plastic surgery, especially after being involved in a car accident that left her with scars under the eye, where her broken sunglasses cut deep into the skin. However, she may have gone a bit overboard with plastic surgery, a report in the New York Daily News suggests, and it’s costing her her acting career.

The US publication claims McGowan is now virtually unrecognizable and that her entire face is drawn and puffy. While whatever it is that she’s doing to her face is no one’s business but her own, sources close to the star say, it’s sad to see that it’s also costing her her career, as more and more movie studios are starting to back down at the very thought of working with her. Their main problem is but one: they fear audiences will not be able to tell who she is, which means they’re starting on the wrong foot from the get-go.

“Rose McGowan plays a doctor on this season of ‘Nip/Tuck,’ but it appears the actress may have gone under the knife herself. During the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art’s 30th anniversary gala over the weekend, onlookers were shocked to see the barely recognizable actress sporting a taut, puffy face. McGowan, 36, has admitted to having plastic surgery in the past after a frightening car accident in which her sunglasses had smashed onto her face,” the NY Daily News writes.

“Though she has four new movies in the works, McGowan, who recently finished working on ex-fiance Robert Rodriguez’s new movie ‘Machete,’ may want to consider easing up on her changing look. The actress reportedly lost a role to Christina Ricci in 2007’s ‘Speed Racer’ because of her appearance. ‘The studio felt like she was hard to recognize and worried that by the time the movie hit theaters, fans might not know who she was,’ a source told the Daily News at the time,” writes the same publication.

Unfortunately, the same attitude that the movie studio had towards McGowan at the time can still be seen with major studios that are somewhat reluctant to take a chance on her, and it’s only because they can never know how she’s going to look like in a month’s time, the same report says.

I definitely agree that Rose Mcgowan got very ugly when she got her face altered through a plastic surgery..indeed her angelic face before turned out to be looking like PLASTIC!She used to be my idol in CHARMED days because of her unique and angelic face but now that I am watching her as guest at LAW and ORDER SVU, she looks like EEEWWW! SO YUCKY!...I wish that she will realize that God gave her the most beautiful face that she turns it to a devil face... If it's beacuse of her accident that she got her face altered, she could just have her old face back not change it to the face of like a dinosaur...WAKE UP,ROSE before it's too late and you end up like Michael Jackson! Log on to www. belomedical.com and look for Dra. Vicky Belo, she's a renowned Filipina beauty surgeon...take your old picture to her and tell her that you want your same old, beautiful face back!Honestly, your pouted lips make you very ugly...Goodluck and hope that you will heed my advise as one avid fan of yours that I used to be.And pls, be happy and contented of what and how God created you.

I have to agree with Princess. Rose has done herself a great disservice. She had such a wonderful face....now she just looks awful. I watched that Law and Order episode, too.
At one point, Rose looked just like Octomom!!! I just don't understand why these Hollywood types all go and get the same procedures - eyes, lips, chin, cheeks - that make them look so fake. Really, wasn't seeing pictures of Nikki Cox enough of a warning!

I am watching the Law and Order as i typed this and i was like "who is that..." she looks 20yrs older then she did in Charmed and i remember when she first started Charmed i didn't want to like but she was so gorgeous and such a great actress, i couldn't stop myself. I'm looking at her right now and this is soooooo horrible...i'm so sad for her.

By the way, absolutely everything you said about her is right on...not sure if she can fix this mess but i hope so...she's really hard to look at and i loved looking at her and i'm a chick who's not even gay, SMH

Thanks, Angie ;)

She does look different, and I do not like this look, but she is still recognizable. She was on a new episode of Law and Order: SVU that aired Wednesday March 23 and I knew it was her as soon as they showed her. Hopefully she only had parts on her face done that she really needed done and not extra stuff. She does look pretty at times. She just potted her lips too much on that new episode of Law and Order.

I saw Rose McGowen on Law and Order SVU tonight and didn't even recognize her until she started talking! I used to think she was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, but now she is starting to look like Michael Jackson. She still has the beautiful figure she had before but has ruined her face. I hope she can somehow fix it. Hopefully it is not all permanent, possibly Botox, and her face will somewhat return to normal. If not, I feel horrible for her because she will never look that great. This change makes her look much older and very unhealthy.

Wow Rose what happen? Was it a car accident that caused you to have plastic surgery! I agree with the other comments - you were a beautiful and talented actress in the Charmed TV Show. I wish you could have your face repaired to look the way it did back then - God made you a natural beauty - try to go back to what God gave you!

When she played in charmed, I thought she was gorgious! One of the most beautiful actress's out there. Now that i've seen her with her "new face" she looks like a fake, and old. Parts of her face look like a way older woman, and the other part looks like a bad face job. She even seems like she has trouble talking.

Just saw her on Law and Order SVU and was shocked!!! Everyone needs to stop trying to have Angelina lips. It's outta control.

She's still a beautiful woman -just not by Hollywood standards, which is sad. It's not necessarily her fault that she got injured, and if non-celebs had scars that changed thier appearance, I'm sure they would try to fix it if they could. We should feel a bit sorry for her, at least for having to had to have the surgery to begin with. I'm sure she wouldn't have opted for it quite yet had she not been scarred by her injuries, for she did not need to fix anything in my opinion. I hope things get better for her, and Iam just glad she wasn't more seriously injured in her accident.
