Vladimir Putin's face displays obvious signs of cosmetic work and the warmonger is known to hit Botox regularly, a military expert has claimed.
Despite the numerous rumours about Russian President Putin's health, King's College London war studies fellow Professor Michael Clarke claimed there is "no convincing evidence" that he is seriously ill.
But, speaking to Sky News, the analyst also said that the dictator has been "known to hit the Botox quite heavily" and his doctors are "never far away".
This is not the first time rumours of Putin's Botox usage have surfaced and it was first bought to light a decade ago when the Guardian published a report suggesting the Kremlin leader was a regular user of the cosmetic injectables.
Professor Clarke said Putin will be 70 in October and believes he is "trying to embalm himself while he is still alive, as he does take a lot of botox."
He continued: "He moves around with a team of doctors and his doctors are never far away. It is said he leaves meetings at frequent intervals.
"I suspect he is only a hypochondriac and it [botox] softens his look."
Russia's New Times magazine spoke to four plastic surgeons, who claimed the Russian president had most likely had undergone some cosmetic procedures.
The Professor says stories about his heath often circulate, such as rumours about pancreatic cancer and Parkinson's disease.
"These stories will circulate but there's no convincing evidence.
"When you see him in these clips, he looks alright. You can't detect Parkinson's from the way someone walks or detect cancer just by looking at photographs", he continued.
He believes if Putin does become ill that would be "one way out for Russia to say that the President has stepped down."
He continued, that the war would then be prosecuted by Nikolai Patrushev, "who is every bit as nasty as he, but is a change of face so the west might be able to do something about it."
His spokesperson has continually denied Botox usage, saying: "It’s probably just how the light fell. The prime minister is tired."
This is in reference to the bruises Putin has been seen with, which some say could indicate needle bruising from the botox.
When he visited Kyiv in October 2011 he showed up to a meeting with huge blue-and-yellow bruises around his eyes.
Professor Clarke's comments come as Putin's health is constantly put under the spotlight, with many suggesting the warmonger is unwell despite Clarke believing otherwise.
The General SVR Telegram channel, reportedly run by a Kremlin insider, claimed Putin was struck down by a "sharp sickness, weakness and dizziness" last week.
Numerous experts believe he may have started treatment for cancer before the war and is currently dealing with the effects of treatment.
A condition where decision-making can be affected is called cancer-related cognitive impairment, it gives people the ability to make "crazy" decisions without cogently thinking them through.
Recent footage of a video call with Putin and Alexey Tsydenov, the Head of the Republic of Buryatia, a Russian republic in Siberia, released by the Kremlin has sparked controversy as it also shows him with “reddened eyes”.
A Russian intelligence FSB agent claimed that Putin has just three years to live and that he has a “severe form of rapidly progressing cancer”.
He said: “He has no more than two to three years to stay alive."
