Gone are the days of giant breast implants and frozen faces: today, celebrities opt for more natural looks.
In recent years, many have publicly expressed regret over past extreme plastic surgeries, including Victoria Beckham, who admitted in 2014 that she wishes she had never “messed with” her “breasts.”
But surgeons say this doesn’t mean celebrities are abandoning the procedure, which remains the second most popular cosmetic surgery behind liposuction.
Instead, they are opting for subtle new techniques, costing around $15,000, that add a slight boost, while cleverly disguising the new assets.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, New York-based surgeon to the stars Dr. Marc Everett spoke about the growing popularity of so-called submuscular breast augmentations, which is when the implant is placed under the pectoral or abdominal muscles. chest.
This method is particularly effective, she says, for thinner women, as the position is better. Conceals the telltale edge of the implant while creating a more pronounced appearance to the breast.
But Dr. Everett says there are still telltale signs of the implants in the skin, which only a trained eye can see.
Read on to find out how:
Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo, one of the best singers who recently performed at the Grammy Awards, is said to be one of those joining the trend of undergoing subtle improvements to her figure.
Dr. Everett says the star, 20, likely underwent breast augmentation surgery when she was 18, given the transformation documented in her social media images.
He’s not the first to make such a suggestion: On Reddit forums, fans have recently speculated about the reason behind her seemingly sudden breast change.
Some have expressed concern, writing that she is “too young” for the surgery.

Dr. Everett says Rodrigo’s bikini photos are the clue: “Bikini always force everything up (breast tissue and implants).
“With natural breasts, there is a much more gradual slope from the top of the breast to the nipple.”
‘(But) in this image (right) you can see the entire top edge of the implant.
Comparing two other photos from 2021 (shown above), he added: “You can see that the lift on the left arm doesn’t create that upper fullness that we see in the other photo.
“In the other picture you can see that it looks very full, even though there is no arm to lift it.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved saline breast implants (implants filled with sterile salt water) for women 18 years of age and older.
Silicone breast implants, which use a silicone gel filler, are only approved for women 22 and older, but many plastic surgeons place them in younger women without approval, says Dr. Everett.
Most women prefer silicone implants because they look “more natural” and are less likely to break than saline implants.
Taylor Swift

Another celebrity that Dr. Everett believes may have had her breasts surgically altered is Taylor Swift.
She claims her transformation was initially “modest” in 2012, when she believes she opted for small implants.
Subsequently, he suggests, he underwent a second alleged procedure in 2022.
Taylor is pictured above at the 2022 MTV Music Awards in Dusseldorf, Germany. Dr. Everett said this image shows a triangle shape on her chest, indicating implants.
“In 2022, the implant will be substantially larger,” he said, “to the point that you can see a triangle shape (in your chest).”
Dr. Everett suggested he may have received submuscular implants, which cause tension on the skin. creating a ‘triangle’ shape on the chest (pictured right).
However, fans have previously suggested that Swift’s bust changes may be explained by weight gain.
Dr. Everett disagrees.
“At the time of her supposed first surgery, you can see in the photos that she was quite thin,” he says.
“But there is that forced shape of rounded breasts that have become disproportionate to the rest of your body.”
Taylor is pictured above in 2015 at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dr. Everett said that this image indicates her first implants because she still has full breasts despite having a very slim figure.
He continued: ‘The breast is made up of both glands and fat and, when a certain degree of weight is lost, the breasts will not be as dense.
“(But) we don’t see this with Taylor.”
“You can also see the clear round curve of the implant where the dress pushes the breast in.”
Dr. Everett’s claims follow many years of fan speculation about Swift, 34, and her bust.
One wrote on Twitter in January: “Okay, okay, I’ll say it… Taylor Swift has one of the best boob jobs in the industry and I appreciate the awards shows for that reminder.”
A second tweeter responded; “I think Taylor Swift got a boob job or something,” while a third said: “Taylor Swift’s boob job is masterful.”
Previously, in November 2022, a fan tweeted: “No hate, they look great but Taylor Swift totally got a boob job.”
There was also speculation from fans in 2016 after she appeared with her then-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston.
And several plastic surgeons have also previously suggested that Taylor underwent breast augmentation surgery.
In 2019, after Taylor attended the Golden Globes, New York-based surgeon Dr Norman Rowe said: ‘She underwent breast augmentation. This is the only explanation.
And there was more speculation in 2013, after she get to the red carpet at the Main Awards in Madrid, with Dr. Michael Fiorillo, a plastic surgeon also in New York, saying at the time: “You can see the implants.”
The ‘Love Story’ singer has denied reports that she has undergone plastic surgery.
Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid (left, in 2016 in New York City and right in December 2023) also received breast implants, Dr. Everett suggested.
There are also indications that supermodel Bella Hadid has had breast implants, according to Dr. Everett.
“There is no weight gain here or any other change that would suggest anything other than breast augmentation,” she said.

Speaking about images taken of Ms Hadid in 2021 (right), before the alleged procedure, she said: ‘Some fullness can be seen in the upper part of the breast without displacement of the upper implant.
“But in the other one (from 2023) you can see much more fullness in the areas and contour of the implant.”
He added: “There is also… a difference in size and shape.”
Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Foster, revealed that she had her breast implants removed in 2015, after suffering complications.
Doctors reportedly said one of them had started leaking silicone, which was exacerbating his Lyme disease symptoms.
Hadid previously admitted that she “regretted” getting a nose job when she was 14, saying she felt her nose would have “grown out” then.
Megan fox

Another celebrity who has had subtle touch-ups to her breasts is actress and model Megan Fox, plastic surgeons say, although more recently she is believed to have opted for larger implants.
The American actress was first rumored to have undergone the surgery in 2010.
But when she was photographed at Beyoncé’s 41st birthday party in September 2022, her chest looked even bigger.
Dr Everett said: ‘This is the most dramatic transformation of the group and has the easiest signs to recognize, between the first and second set of photos, that you have undergone breast augmentation with implants.
‘Both the shape and volume of the breasts are noticeably different. The size of the implants chosen for your surgery exceeds the size of your native breast.
He added: “The implant is so wide that it exceeds both what should be the top and bottom of the breast.”
Texas-based Instagram influencer Dana Omari-Harrell, who regularly comments on celebrity surgeries, said: “She had small implants in the past; you can even see the lines of her implants because she was so skinny.”
‘When he started dating Machine Gun Kelly, I noticed a change in them.
“Then around June 2022, I noticed they were a lot bigger, but the photos from Beyoncé’s party REALLY showed the change. This is definitely a review.’
In September of last year, she debuted a facial transformation after being photographed leaving a surgeon’s office.
He had not previously spoken publicly about his surgeries.
