Social media isn’t naturally adept at sparing people’s feelings, and that couldn’t be clearer than in the ongoing conversation about Meg Ryan’s evolving appearance. In the years since she’s taken a step back from acting, users have shared their often harsh thoughts about her face, ranging from neutral to downright ruthless. “She would have been gorgeous if she aged gracefully instead of going plastic. Still one of my faves from the past,” tweeted one user on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Looks like she has cheek implants… she was so cute before, she doesn’t even look like the same person!!!,” wrote a second while another tweeted: “Sadly she definitely went to[o] far […] for such a beautiful woman!”

Redditors also shared their opinions about Ryan’s looks. “Do all these celebrities use the same plastic surgeon? Because they all end up looking identical,” commented one user under a discussion about the “You’ve Got Mail” star. Another commenter claimed that they didn’t even recognize the actor anymore due to all the cosmetic surgery she’d supposedly had done. As another user reasoned, “Getting plastic surgery on your face is like buying a shirt online that you have to wear forever once it gets to your house.” One more fan also declared that Ryan would’ve been better off without the alleged tweaks. “Why? Stop trying to be 30. Just be 61. You’d have been a beautiful 61-year-old,” they wrote.
