Why Did Moore Look Different In AVTAK?

I thought Roger looked great in FYEO and OP - perhaps eight years younger than he really was.
In AVTAK, however, his eyes seemed wider, somehow, and a brighter blue, whild his hair had blonde highlights (a little like he did in The Persuaders).
Does anyone know why? Different lightning, perhaps? I heard he lose weight, which might have had something to do with it.

fully recovered from the sugery. Proving once again how much of a professional Sir Roger
was -{
"Better make that two."
You think he had a hair transplant? I heard somewhere that he had hair added before scenes or something.
I don't think it was because his facelift hadn't healed. He looks the same several months later when promoted the film on Wogan and Good Morning America.
I'm surprised they let him star, tbh, but maybe it was too late when they saw him.
He did a film between his last two Bonds, 1984's The Naked Face (the ending of which would be interesting to Bond fans), though I can't remember how he looked in it.
I don't think he had a hair transplant either. I heard the same, and they used a lot of product to thicken his hair. Were hair transplants even a thing back then?
He still had the mole in The Naked Face and looks the same as he looks in Octopussy.
The mole was obviously removed so it didnt, er, move
Elton John didn't have a transplant until around 1990, while William Shatner had it for Star Trek 4, so it was achievable. Talking of whom, there's an amusingly analytical site called Shatner's toupee, or something, which is even more obsessive than this thread
What sort of product would have thickened his hair? If anything, that was surely an indicator that his time was sadly up.

(Also, Frank Sinatra had hair transplants in the 60s or 70s)
Thanks, Barbel.
I think Moore had a bit of 'touching up', bit of filler on his hair that's all. He does look different in AVTAK and he does seem leaner imo and often younger, maybe due to a facelift. He denied it at the time.

Here he is minus toupé in 73:
and here with it in 74:
It reminds me of Marlon Brando, saying why he didn't like Sinatra much, 'He's the kind of guy who when he dies gives God a hard time for making him bald...'

He was really almost bald before it.
Assuming that is as he says, a transplant.
