Now cosmetic doctors have weighed in, suggesting that the singer’s new look is likely the result of a “miracle” weight loss injection, as well as facial surgery.

“Best Ozempic results. She looks amazing,” agreed another, while a third added: “That’s Ozempic Aguilera.”
Cosmetic doctors have now spoken out, suggesting the singer’s new look is likely the result of a “miraculous” slimming injection and facial surgery.
London-based aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr Jonny Betteridge suspects the mother of two has undergone a facelift, eyelid surgery and extensive dental work.
“The weight change in such a short time can be attributed to the use of Ozempic. I also believe she dissolved all the fillers in her face before she had to undergo some surgical procedures,” he said.
In a TikTok video that has been viewed more than 400,000 times, the former emergency room doctor says doctor commented on the big difference between Aguilera’s current look and her ‘pillow face’ in 2022.
“A few years ago she had too much filler, which gave her a pillowy face,” he said.
‘We could see this especially in the center of the face, on the cheeks and on the lips.
‘Over time, a combination of too much filler and an overall change in her weight led to this fullness of her face.’
Medications such as steroids, which are used to suppress inflammatory conditions, can also cause fluid retention and swelling in your arms, hands, ankles, legs, face and other parts of the body.
Betteridge added: ‘If we compare her at 18 to her current 43-year-old self, the main changes I see straight away are her nose: it’s much sharper and lifted.
“She has more proportional lips, both in relation to her upper and lower lip. We can attribute that to the fillers and also to the dental treatment with veneers.
‘The most notable is an upper eyelid correction to remove excess skin from the eyelid and I think an endoscopic facelift.’
An upper eyelid correction, or blepharoplasty, is an invasive procedure in which surgeons Make an incision along the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin, giving you a tighter, wrinkle-free appearance.
In the UK, treatment costs around £4,600 privately.
In a TikTok video that has been viewed more than 400,000 times, the former emergency room doctor commented on the stark difference between Aguilera’s look now and her “pillow face” appearance in 2022.
Betteridge also added: ‘If we compare her 18-year-old self to now at 43, the main changes I can see straight away are her nose — it’s much sharper and lifted. She’s got more proportional lips, both in relation to the upper and lower lip, so we can put that down to filler and also the dental work, with veneers.’
In an endoscopic facelift, incisions are made in the hairline and a flexible tube with a camera is inserted to move the facial tissues and muscles.
“One of the hallmarks of this procedure is the lifted brow and eye shape. It gives a much sharper look,” said Dr. Betteridge.
“Her work is a 10 out of 10 and she looks incredible.”

She added: ‘I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f*** about your opinion. I’m not going to deal with it.’
