The rumor appears to stem from a satirical website.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Fact Check:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Facebook image features two headshot photos, one of a dark-haired man and the other of a man with blonde hair. The two men have noticeably different facial features. \u201cIn 2017, 40-year-old James Mack got 37 plastic surgeries and got his name changed to Jason Monroe just to date his ex-girlfriend again after she filed a restraining order,\u201d reads text included in the image.<\/p>\n<p>This claim, however, is nothing more than a rumor. A reverse image search revealed the first photo, showing the dark-haired man, can be found on the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/facialplastics.com\/before-and-after-gallery\/male-facial-procedures\/#foogallery-6449\/i:25\/p:2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Parfitt Facial Cosmetic Surgery Center<\/a> where it appears as the \u201cafter\u201d photo of a man who received \u201cmale facial procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the second photo included in the post, showing the man with blonde hair, can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drsteinbrech.com\/before-and-after\/male-model-make-over-photos-16250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a> of New York City-based plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drsteinbrech.com\/before-and-after\/male-model-make-over-photos-16250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a> notes the unidentified male had undergone a \u201cmale model make over\u201d procedure and includes a \u201cbefore\u201d image of the man for comparison. Notably, the pre-operation picture of the blonde-haired man looks nothing like the dark-haired man included in the Facebook post.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing on <a href=\"https:\/\/facialplastics.com\/before-and-after-gallery\/male-facial-procedures\/#foogallery-6449\/i:25\/p:2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">either<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drsteinbrech.com\/before-and-after\/male-model-make-over-photos-16250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a> to indicate the two men are related in any way.
