Can bad skin/large pores be corrected in post production?

[ImpactPlayer11]

Obviously makeup can alleviate SOME of this but, especially with large pores, is it possible to remove them via post production from an actor's face? If a photo can be airbrushed to perfection, why can't moving footage be as well, since the footage is simply a collection of photos anyway? Would it look silly or is there any validity to this idea?

Its called "Digital Skin Grafting"

don't hold your breath you need a team of highly talented VFX artists, lots of time + $$$

see here as an example:

You can always hide flaws by duplicating the layer. blurring it a bit if needed, off-setting it's position enough to hide whatever and then tracking or keyframing a mask for it. I started doing this about 15 years ago to hide a missing pixel from a betacam and it works fine for skin imperfections, ect.
