Plastic Surgery in 1975..
I am impressed with the number of fans and experts on this website. I love it! Anyway just wondering if you guys could tell a difference in Elvis's features after he a facelift and work done in June 1975? I can most see it on the July tour, just wondering what your thoughts were on it?

didn't know elvis has plastic surgery you lwarn somthing new here everyday with the threads and i have been a fan for 32 years
He had surgery done around his eyes, more specifically, his eyelids I believe. If you notice, they never did look the same after June of 1975, which is a shame.
I recall Billy Smith talking about how the doctor was saying that when Elvis went to have this done the doctor told Elvis how do you make something that is already perfect, better. Guess Elvis wanted a more youthful look, and with him in the spotlight it was probably hard on him getting older and hitting forty.

The difference is quite noticeable, actually. Look around in the gallery and you'll find some evidence of this. Think of the photo on the cover of the Boulevard album, which was taken in June and compare the way he looked then with photos from the July tour and later.

I'll do that , i must admit i have never really looked that closely to see the differance.
March-April 1975 compared to July 1975....look closley and you can tell a slight difference.

He really did? I didn't know this!
I don't think he did have surgery, although I did read in Joe Esposito's book "Good Rocking Tonight" that he had his nose done - just a little to make it look slimmer & he talked his friend George Klein (I think, it's been a while since I read the book) into having surgery also. But I don't notice a significant difference in either area - eyes or nose. He wa just a good looking man anyway you look at him.
Elvis did have the surgery.It's a well known fact.

See, now I've never heard any mention of this either. Nor do I see any difference in any photos. Is there documented proof by the doctor that this was done? Just wondering.
It is a documented fact. On June 15 Elvis was admitted to Mid-South Hospital for what was officially called "an extensive eye examination" but was actually this cosmetic eye surgery. Dr. Asghan Koleyni, after trying to talk Elvis out of it (along with Dr.Nick), performed the surgery. Elvis was released from the hospital two days later.

You can tell the difference alot more in the pictures you have posted Bobby than from the ones I posted...there is a difference, and its definitley noticable.

You can definitely tell a difference from the June tour to the July tour. I think on the July tour Elvis actually had a more youthful look. His eyes don't look as tired and they look more like they did in the 50's and 60's
Im sorry but i can`t see the difference.... because in one picture he look up and the other one he look down so of curse there is a difference there but its not the surgery its the way the picture is taken.
[Royalties come and go....... But there is only one man we always call THE KING
Ok, one question comes to mind here......why would Dr. Nick, who we all know over prescribed people, be so against a little plastic surgery, if it was done?
They weren't the only ones who tried to talk him out of it, some of the MM did too. They all felt he didn't need it.
It was done David.
None of the people around Elvis (including Doctor Nick) wanted this done...it was obvious, it was because Elvis had turned 40 months earlier and was afraid of looking old...but everyone else thought he looked good as ever before, but Elvis still wanted it done.
