Can you guess the subtle plastic surgery Taylor Swift performed? Leading cosmetic expert refers to megastar’s nip-tuck
A leading cosmetic surgeon has sparked rumors that pop megastar Taylor Swift has gone under the knife to subtly change the shape of her eyes.
Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a London-based aesthetic doctor, shared two images of the singer, before and after the alleged transformation, with his 34,000 Instagram followers.
He suggests Swift’s subtle change is an example of the growing popularity of blepharoplasty, also known as blepharoplasty.
“This is to help cover the eyes and under-eye bags,” Dr. Betteridge says in the clip, before continuing to highlight other popular cosmetic surgery trends of the moment.
The cosmetic procedure, which costs around £6,000, aims to remove excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids – or both.
In older patients, it is used to treat signs of aging such as sagging skin around the eyes and heavy bags under the eyes.
Some younger women opt for the procedure to make their eyes appear wider and less covered.
Dr. Betteridge isn’t the only expert to suggest the star – who turns 35 this week – has had an eyelid job, albeit a very subtle one.
London-based aesthetic doctor Dr Jonny Betteridge predicted that by 2025 there will be a ‘boom of the bleph’ – also known as eyelid surgery. He suggested that Taylor Swift had the surgery
Facial plastic surgeon @drspiegelwhich is based in Boston in the US has also highlighted the strange change in Swift’s face.
He told his 37,000 TikTok followers: ‘Now there is a clear eyelid, where her eyelid touched her eyelashes just like before. This is a sign of an eyelid correction.’
“The procedure takes less than an hour and uses dissolving sutures that disappear within a few days or a week,” he added.
In another video, cosmetic expert @carlytheinjector echoes suspicions of an eye procedure, but is not convinced that she has undergone eyelid surgery.
She told her 23,900 followers on TikTok: ‘I think they did an eyelid crease fix, where they stick the skin back, rather than cutting it away and removing it. At that age she probably didn’t have much excess skin.’
Dr. However, Nigel Mercer, who specializes in facial reconstruction surgery, believes her facial changes could be the result of normal aging.
Referring to the before and after images in Dr Betteridge’s Instagram video, he said: ‘It’s not really fair to compare a child’s face to that of a young woman.’
“In the first photo she is in her late teens or early twenties, and her facial structure was almost mature,” he told MailOnline.
“In the second image, her facial features are just a little longer, which can happen with age.”
Dr. Mercer also explains that eyelid surgery would not be suitable for a woman in her mid-thirties – and if it were performed, the effects would likely be minimal due to the natural shape of her eye.
Facial plastic surgeon @drspiegel told his 37,000 followers on TikTok that Taylor now has more visible eyelids due to the surgery
He added: ‘A 34-year-old has very little excess skin to play with and to move that crease upwards you need a lot of it.’
“She’d probably only get about two millimeters of extra show.”
Professor Ullas Raghavan, a facial cosmetic surgeon at private healthcare clinic Pall Mall Medical, said the Love Story singer’s facial features have become “more refined” over the years.
He emphasized that facial maturity often brings natural changes, including sharper contours and less baby fat.
“As a person ages, their bone structure may appear more clearly defined, especially under the cheekbones and jawline,” he said.
“It’s a natural progression for someone like Taylor, whose facial features were already well proportioned,” he added.
However, rRumors have been circulating for years about a rhinoplasty, also known as a rhinoplasty.
“If she has done any work at all, it has been incredibly subtle,” Professor Raghavan said
‘Her nose now looks a little more refined, which could be the result of surgical or liquid rhinoplasty, or simply the effect of aging and make-up techniques.’
Other speculations include dermal fillers or Botox to maintain her smooth skin and youthful skin.
Professor Raghavan added that these treatments are becoming more common among celebrities.
“There is an opportunity for subtle use of fillers in areas such as the chin, cheeks or lips, which can increase fullness without appearing excessive,” he said.
‘Maybe she also had belly fat removed. But again, these are just possibilities based on observation.”
