Country music icon Carrie Underwood is almost unrecognizable today from her time on American Idol almost two decades ago, where she defeated Bo Bice.
After performing at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square, social media exploded, calling her glow “stunning” and “very beautiful.”
But others accused the Before He Cheats singer, 41, of undergoing too much plastic surgery.
You don’t even look like Carrie! one wrote. “Quit the plastic surgery,” said another.
‘How many surgeries have you had since then?’ a third questioned.
The star, who joined American Idol as a judge last year, has been open about undergoing surgery after suffering a bad fall in 2017 that left her needing more than 40 stitches in her face.
However, she never admitted to having any cosmetic work done and exactly what the surgery entailed.
But now experts have weighed in and suggest that Carrie’s face bears the hallmarks of a series of procedures.

in a tiktok videoViewed more than 313,000 times, he said: “If you look at the nose, there is more of a slanted, pinched tip which could indicate a possible rhinoplasty.”
“In my opinion, the lips look like they’ve had some work done.”
“I love Carrie Underwood, but this is my unbiased opinion of what she’s done.”
A rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, involves an operation that is performed from inside the nostrils (a closed rhinoplasty) or by making a small cut in the nose.
By breaking and repositioning the lateral nasal bone, the surgeon can also reduce the width of the nose and achieve a narrower appearance.
“The other thing is that his cheeks look quite full and his forehead is completely flat,” Dr. Barrett said.
“They probably gave him some kind of neuromodulator, like Botox or some filler in his cheeks.”

Anti-wrinkle injections like Botox relax facial muscles to smooth lines and wrinkles.
“I think the chin looks really good,” he added.
“But if you look at her previous photos, her chin is also quite prominent, so I don’t think she had a chin implant.”
Meanwhile, Stacy Silverman, an injection nurse practitioner from Northbrook in Illinois, told tiktok followers Carrie had probably had fillers in her cheeks and lips, as well as Botox.
“I think they also did the nasolabial folds,” he added. “I absolutely love her and she is perfect.”
Nasolabial folds, also known as “smile lines” or “laugh lines,” develop naturally as we age or frequently use our facial muscles to smile or laugh.
Treatment to minimize its appearance may include dermal filler, laser treatment, or chemical peels.

After the accident, which cost her 40 stitches in her face and a broken wrist, the Oklahoma-born singer admitted that she felt forced to speak out to avoid being accused of undergoing plastic surgery for aesthetic reasons.
She told Ellen DeGeneres show in 2018: ‘I feel like I (look different) a little bit. My biggest concern at the time was, if I don’t say anything, down the road… I feel like people are going to say, ‘What has she done to herself electively?’
And it definitely wasn’t a choice. I feel close to myself. I feel pretty close to normal.’
That same year, the Grammy Award winner addressed rumors that she had a “nose job” or “other work” on her face, according to USA Today.
She said: “The truth is just as interesting. I wish I had had amazing plastic surgery to make this (scar) look better, but I try not to worry too much about it.”

American prosthodontist Dr. Sara Hahn, told him 156,000 TikTok followers: ‘Looks like they possibly did some bleaching.
‘I know he fell and had scars on his face, but it doesn’t look like his teeth were affected. These are your natural teeth.
‘You can see the translucency that the teeth have and that they allow light to pass through.
‘This makes the teeth look like teeth. It’s very difficult to do that with veneers because they are a different material. This is an impressive smile.’
