There have been speculations about Rick Nesss facial changes in season 14 of "Gold Rush". However, there is no official confirmation or concrete evidence to support claims of Rick Ness undergoing any cosmetic procedures or medical treatments that would account for the alterations in his facial features. It is plausible that the changes are a natural outcome of the aging process, weight fluctuations, or lifestyle adjustments. Alternatively, his face might reflect the enduring impact of a severe mining accident during season 10, resulting in a broken jaw, missing teeth, and subsequent surgeries, leading to potential scarring and asymmetry over time. There have also been speculations that Rick Ness may have been addicted to drugs and even engaged in some sort of brawl, leading to the change in his appearance. However, there is no definitive evidence supporting these claims.
