Pop superstar Christina Aguilera has been open in the past about her penchant for Botox, while maintaining an air of subtlety in her appearance.
But fans are now noticing more drastic changes in the ‘Genie in a Bottle’ singer’s appearance, including a slim figure that could be linked to weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, sculpted cheekbones, and raised fox-like eyes.
Cosmetic surgeons told DailyMail.com that over the years, the singer had had Botox expertly applied to smooth wrinkles, plump her lips and a possible face lift to sculpt her face and lift her eyes.
Fillers have become extremely popular over the years, thanks in part to their famous fans, perhaps most notably the Kardashian/Jenner family.
According to doctors who spoke to DailyMail.com on the subject, Aguilera has achieved a more natural look in which her augmented features blend beautifully.
Plastic surgeons told DailyMail.com that Aguilera likely had a facelift to sculpt her cheekbones and smooth the lines between her nose and lips. Chances are you’ve also had filler there, as well as your lips.
Doctors have described the ‘Beautiful’ singer as “ageless.”
Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, told DailyMail.com: “It looks amazing.”
“I think his face now looks a little more mature compared to 1999. He’s always had a lot of volume in the middle of his face, so his cheeks were always quite full, and he had a very strong jaw and chin, which now they look even more, I think, accentuated.’
The pop singer has probably enjoyed Botox or Dysport expertly placed on her forehead and eye area to refine her complexion and smooth fine lines.
Botox and Dysport work by relaxing the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles, which softens the skin.
However, they are not a permanent solution to wrinkles. The effects last between three and four months.
Dr Bassiri-Tehrani added: “What’s really different is the top third of her face, and she’s doing what a lot of people have been doing in recent years, which is making the forehead more angular and more strong”.
“That will draw attention and make it look like there’s a little more fox eye.”
More and more high-profile celebrities, including Kendall Jenner and Megan Fox, are sparking rumors that they have undergone a ‘fox eye lift’ to achieve almond-shaped eyes.
Dr. Thomas Barnes, a board-certified surgeon in Newport Beach, California, said you may have had a deep facelift to lift your eyes.
The procedure is more advanced than a traditional facelift and involves lifting and repositioning deep layers of facial tissue. This method avoids the dreaded artificial pulling appearance of some traditional facelifts.
He told DailyMail.com: ‘You’ll notice that the nasolabial folds in the image are very flat, and the only way to really change that is with a deep facelift.
“And you’ll notice that in front of your tragus, which is in front of your left ear area, it looks like a little crease, which is very common after you’ve had a facelift in that area.”
Dr. Brian Reagan, a plastic surgeon based in San Diego, California, noted that she does not have the typical folds between her nose and mouth, and suggested that filler might be involved. He made this comment while referring to a 2016 photo of Aguilera dressed in a Rosie the Riveter-inspired outfit.
He said the sides of his eyes appear raised several millimeters, his cheeks are higher and his nasal-labial folds (the vertical lines that form between the bottom of the nose and lips) are softened.
Dr. Brian Reagan, a plastic surgeon in San Diego, California, echoed Dr. Barnes’ sentiment, although he added that filler could also be at play, referring to a 2016 photo of Aguilera in a Rosie-style ensemble. the Riveter.
He added that his upper lip is more heart-shaped than when he was younger.
Your upper lip has a slight upward twist, which can be achieved with Botox, often called a “lip flip,” to enhance the appearance of the lip and add volume.
The image of her with the red scarf is a good example of that technique, Dr. Reagan said. Additionally, your bottom lip appears fuller, especially in the center.
Comparing these photos, it seems likely that she has filled in her lips and it looks well done, as her upper lip was quite thin in photos of her from the ’90s and early 2000s.
In it, he said he could notice a lack in some of the facial distinction lines, specifically the nasolabial fold, also known as smile lines or laugh lines.
Dr Reagan said: ‘This is sometimes associated with excessive use of filler. “I can’t comment for sure, but it appears his facial volume has increased.”
Dr. Thomas Barnes, a board-certified surgeon in Newport Beach, California, said Aguilera likely had surgery to reduce the roundness of the tip of her nose. Doctors can achieve this look by shaving the cartilage on the sides of the tip of the nose.
Dr. Barnes said he also appears to have had at least one procedure to reduce bulbosity, or roundness, on the tip of his nose by shaving the sides.
He added: “She has had a nose job but it is very subtle, giving her nose a more pointy look and a slimmer appearance.” Their nostrils are different and a little thinner. The width of the nose is smaller.’
Her lips are also considerably fuller than when her career took off, suggesting to Dr. Smita Ramanadham that she has strategically placed fuller lips on the sides and center of her upper and lower lips to give them volume.
She said: ‘Obviously she’s layering (her lips) in that photograph, but if you really look at the lip itself, there’s volume everywhere.
‘Fillers can be used in a very complex way to augment certain areas or not. But I think for her, she definitely had an overall area increase.”
Aguilera has said that she values maintaining expressiveness in her face. Women rarely walk into plastic surgeons’ offices with the request to appear constantly frozen and surprised.
Christina Aguilera has surprised her fans lately with her weight loss. Plastic surgeons said this probably influenced the change in his face, for example making it more angular.
Dr. Craig Blum, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Charleston, South Carolina, echoed Dr. Ramanadham’s sentiment, saying that Botox gives Aguilera “a more youthful appearance while maintaining expressiveness.”
Microblading your eyebrows is also a very popular way to lift your eyes by creating realistic hair-like strokes through the use of semi-permanent tattoo ink.
Aguilera’s cheekbones are high, further accentuated by her almond-shaped eyes. Losing weight is one of the most effective means of achieving defined cheekbones, and Aguilera is rumored to have used Ozempic or Wegovy to lose weight.
Dr. Rukmini Rednam, a Houston-based plastic surgeon, said the singer’s sculpted face is most likely thanks to a combination of healthy weight loss and non-invasive treatments with some more minor procedures.
The star has appeared slimmer than she has been in years in recent social media posts, following a period of weight gain that began in the early 2010s.
She told DailyMail.com: ‘As an expert in post-weight loss treatments, I’ve seen first-hand the power that weight loss can change a face.
“In addition to comparing a photo of her from her youth to her adulthood, there are benefits related to aging, a more defined face and more feminine rather than childlike features that occur naturally.”
