Johnny Depp is 2009′s “Sexiest Man Alive,” if you believe People magazine, and those who do include a large part of the populace. Competition included Robert Pattinson, Ryan Reynolds, David Beckham and Bradley Cooper – and the list even found room for Robert Downey Jr.

But, it’s Depp this year, his second win, and the occasion brings rise to questioning the 46-year-old actor’s plastic surgery habits. No sources show that he’s has ever had any. He looks excellent, but he also looks roundabout his age. In 2007, Dr. Anthony Youn told MakeMeHeal.com that at some point, Depp possibly underwent a threadlift procedure – which is basically facelift-lite – but, it hasn’t been confirmed.

“That procedure has very limited results, so whether or not it was actually done we’ll probably never know for sure,” he said.

Youn added that a lot of celebrities have their best plastic surgery before they actually become famous. They get their most image-changing results at a time when no one yet cares what they look like.

“This is when the surgery usually stays secret,” Youn said. “There will always be something new and better on the horizon, and the stars will likely be the first ones to try it out.”

Of course, Depp has been famous for close to 25 years. It isn’t known if he’s had plastic surgery to keep his good looks for more than two decades. But if so, Depp has kept it secret for an admirably long time.
