We will also break down all the details of these procedures.
🧑⚕️ The “Before”: The All-American Model
Chrissy Teigen has always had distinct facial features that make her look fresh and youthful. Even before her procedures, Chrissy had some cheek volume, a strong jawline, and slightly fuller lips. Her unique features are what made her stand out as a model. Moreover, she worked on evolving her beauty through certain procedures to help advance her career in Hollywood.
🏥 What Facial Surgery has Chrissy Teigen had?
Chrissy Teigen’s face has changed drastically since the beginning of her career. If you are wondering about the plastic surgery of Chrissy Teigen, keep reading as we outline all the facial procedures that we think she has undergone:
Chrissy Teigen’s Hairline-lowering Surgery
Chrissy took everyone by surprise as she shared photos of herself after her hairline-lowering surgery, which clearly showed her stitches and her bandaged-up face earlier this year. She was very open about why she underwent this surgery, mentioning that her hair had begun thinning from the front after her pregnancies. Chrissy had shared a photo of her stitches that showed her stitches around the hairline.
Furthermore, she mentioned on her social media, “Lost a lot in the front from babies, and it’s just very thin up there. When you see it on a carpet, it’s ALWAYS extensions.”
Chrissy is one of the very few Hollywood celebs who have been very open about their plastic surgery experience. Now, let’s have a look at what the hairline-lowering surgery is:
📌 The hairline-lowering surgery, also known as the forehead reduction surgery, is a cosmetic surgery that helps make the forehead shorter. It offers a permanent solution to those who want to make their tall forehead shorter. The procedure involves the surgeon creating an incision very close to the hairline. Next, the surgeon will eliminate some excess skin and pull the scalp forward and stitch it in place. This will reduce the height of the forehead, bringing balance and harmony to the face, and also improving the overall symmetry.
Buccal Fat Removal
We can see hollows under Chrissy’s cheeks, which add more dimension and sculpt her cheeks. To add to this, Chrissy mentioned in 2021 that she got a buccal fat removal surgery to reduce the fat in her cheeks and slim them down.
📌 Also known as a bichectomy, buccal fat removal surgery is aimed at people who cannot lose fat from their cheeks even with diet and exercise. This surgery helps to narrow down the lower face by partially or fully removing the buccal fat pads. The goal of this procedure is to eliminate the buccal fat pads to bring more definition to the face. The incision for this procedure is made on the inside of the mouth. Next, the surgeon uses the incision to access the buccal fat pads and remove them. Finally, the surgeon stitches up the incision.
Eyebrow Hair Transplant
Over the years, Chrissy Teigen’s eyebrows have looked fuller. Back in 2024, she shared on her social media that she had gotten an eyebrow transplant. She mentioned, “ I never wear makeup if I can avoid it. So I was excited for this eyebrow transplant surgery”. The procedure gave her much thicker brows than before. She later shared a photo of herself after the procedure, mentioning, “A little dark from the pencil, but it’s so cool to have brows again.”
📌 An eyebrow transplant surgery aims to bring more density to the brows by taking hair grafts from the back of the head. These grafts boast hair follicles. Next, the surgeon transfers these grafts to the eyebrows. As the skin recovers with time, the eyebrows will begin to look more natural and prominent.
Chrissy Teigen’s Lip Filler
When we analyze Chrissy Teigen’s lips over the years, we can clearly see that they have gradually looked more plumped and full. There is more definition in the lips, making them look more youthful. Her lips look more proportional to her sculpted cheekbones and fuller brows. This could be the result of lip fillers.
📌 Lip fillers are a non-invasive procedure to help enhance the lips using injections to volumize the lips. These injections consist of dermal fillers, such as synthetic hyaluronic acid, to make the lips appear more prominent. Lip fillers are especially effective in helping get rid of wrinkles on the lips and remedy any volume loss. Moreover, lip fillers are done in-office by a certified doctor, and the whole procedure only takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Botox
Chrissy Teigen used to have some subtle forehead wrinkles very early during her career. But we can see in her newer photos that her forehead seems very smooth and wrinkle-free. There is also an absence of frown lines on her forehead. This could be the result of Botox injections.
📌 Botox is used as a way to treat horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles. It does this by relaxing the muscles in the forehead and paralyzing them. When the muscles are paralyzed, they cannot form wrinkles on the forehead. Botox includes an ingredient called botulinum toxin type A, which hinders nerve signals to the muscles to paralyze them. Botox must be administered by qualified practitioners. Otherwise, it increases one’s risk of being left with droopy lids or even infection at the injection site.
