Bella Hadid (along with her older sister Gigi Hadid) is one of the biggest and most influential models of the moment. Not only does she have a figure to die for (as evidenced by the pictures of her regularly flaunting her enviable curves in one sexy bikini or another) but we regularly find ourselves pretty envious of her beauty too – even on those barefaced and makeup-free days! However, glowing complexion aside, we can’t ignore the fact that the 25-year-old super-in-demand model has undergone quite the transformation over the years (perhaps one of the biggest and most shocking ones ever!) and when side by side before and after pictures are examined, it almost looks like we are staring at an entirely different person!

Let’s take a look at some before and after pictures of the brunette beauty, and also muse over what improvements, shall we say, the internet speculates she may have had done over the years. While the alleged cosmetic procedures (surgical or otherwise) can’t be confirmed, there’s no denying that Bella’s appearance has changed dramatically since she has been in the public eye!

Her lips are so much plumper!

Bella first burst onto the scene back in the early 2010s, when we caught glimpses of her and Gigi when her mother Yolanda Hadid started appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And although some of the changes to Bella’s appearance could be attributed to her getting older, there are some changes that no amount of maturing is responsible for. Take her lips for example. Bella’s lips appear to be much plumper than they were at the start of her modelling career, but she has never admitted to getting lip fillers. In fact, she told InStyle back in 2018: “People think I got all this surgery or did this or that. And you know what? We can do a scan of my face, darling. I’m scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn’t want to mess up my face.” Will we choose to believe Bella’s words, or shall we let the pictures decide for us?

Her cheekbones and jawline are SO sculpted and chiseled!

Around 2017, Bella’s cheekbones started to look a lot more sculpted than they once were, leading fans and plastic surgeons to believe that she underwent a facial sculpting procedure, had dermal fillers to alter and enhance the shape of her cheeks and jawline, and even had fat removed from her cheeks and jaw to give her a more defined face and very sharp and chiseled jawline.

“Her jawline is more defined and her cheeks are less full,” Dr. Matthew Schulman previously told Radar Online. “This can be achieved with buccal fat pad reduction, or removal of some fat from the cheeks. Her chin is more prominent and may be the result of a chin implant as well.” The V shape of her jawline has become more obvious than ever in the past few years alone, which makes us believe the speculation that she also had a chin implant in addition to the previous alleged alterations.

The shape of her face has changed so much!

The position of many of Bella's features appear to have changed over the years, not to mention the actual shape and size of some of her features too. But how is this possible? It's been widely speculated that Ariana Grande is just one of the celebs under 30 who has recently had what is known as a ponytail face lift, which is performed to change the appearance of the face as opposed to eliminate wrinkles akin to a conventional face lift. And fans think that Bella has had one of the most obvious and dramatic ones!

Has Bella had a brow lift and Botox?

The ponytail face lift could also change the position of the eyebrows (not to mention alter the shape of the eyes entirely) but a brow lift could also be responsible for most of these things too. Bella has been rumored to have had a brow lift at least once in her life, as her eyebrows appear to be so much higher than they once were. And as advanced as beauty treatments are these days, that definitely can’t be achieved with microblading and waxing, that's for sure! "Her upper eyelids appear more open and her brow arch has changed," Dr. James Marotta told Page Six. "Her face appears more slender, angular and less rounded. It could be the result of filler injections or facial plastic surgery," he added.

The size and shape of her nose has changed completely!

One of the biggest differences in Bella's face from the start of her career to the present day has to be her nose, as the size and shape has changed completely! The upper portion of the bridge is a lot flatter than it used to be, and there appears to be a lot more definition around the tip, which is even more obvious in before and after side profile pictures.

However, despite the blatantly obvious differences, Bella's mother is still insisting that neither Bella nor Gigi have had any cosmetic procedures – at least back in 2019, anyway! "None of my children have ever done fillers or Botox or put anything foreign in their bodies," the RHOBH alum said on Instagram back in January 2019.

A confirmed nose job!

Fans' speculation that Bella had indeed undergone rhinoplasty was finally confirmed by the half Dutch, half Palestinian model herself in perhaps the most open and candid interview of her life when she covered Vogue's April 2022 issue earlier this year. In the accompanying editorial, Bella confirmed that she had a nose job when she was just 14 years old (we guess we understand why her mom wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible!) but admitted that she now regrets the decision. "I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it," she told the mag. Wow!

We think Bella would have looked gorgeous with or without the now-confirmed surgery; but her fans appear to be loving the way she looks right now, which is interesting as there is more speculation that she has had *even more* work done to her nose, be it surgically or non-surgically. The seven-picture carousel that she posted to her Instagram account on July 11th, which consisted of one stunning picture after another, is very telling, as there is a huge difference in her nose in the fourth picture in particular, which makes people believe that there are some very recent changes to her face. Still, her fans still seem to be as obsessed as ever!

"Bella you’re gorgeous," one fan raved, followed by the heart eyes emoji, while another said that she was "absolutely breathtaking." "Stunning," another fan wrote. "You're such a beautiful angel," added another, followed by the red heart emoji.
