One source said Joan Van Ark's face looked like it was melting

Joan Van Ark became famous for her roles on the nighttime soap operas Dallas and Knots Landing between the late 1970s to the early 1990s. From 2004 to 2005, she also joined The Young and the Restless, according to her IMDb credits, expanding her soap legacy to include the daytime portion of the genre. While she was a total stunner at the peak of her acting career, Van Ark has changed dramatically thanks to plastic surgery. One source who saw Van Ark in January 2020 told The Globe that it looked like her face was melting (via Press Reader). "It's just sad to see Joan now," the insider added. "She should have left well enough alone."

Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not worked on Van Ark, told the National Enquirer that Van Ark's drastically changed appearance might, in fact, "be due 
to quite a bit of plastic surgery," he said. "I suspect she's had at least one facelift, if not two, causing her neckline and jawline to look tight," Dr. Youn added. "Her forehead is smooth and wrinkle-free, a possible consequence of a brow lift and Botox." Dr. Youn suggested she stop all invasive treatments except a little Botox here and there.

Of course, as the insider noted, Van Ark's long-term insecurities likely compelled her to embrace plastic surgery "before she'd go on camera" again. "She never truly liked the way she looked ... and once she had money to burn she tried to make herself pretty with plastic surgery. Unfortunately, it does not seem to have worked to Van Ark's benefit.
