Gwen Stefani Accused of Using a Wig to ‘Hide Face Lift Scars’ After Her ‘Unrecognizable’ Appearance During ‘The Voice’ Return

Fans and a few beauty industry professionals say there may be “no doubt” that singer Gwen Stefani has had some facial work done.

After her spectacular return to host “The Voice”, the leader of a 90s band that mixed rock, pop and hip-hop music, many are saying how unrecognizable she looks.

Even though Stefani has been in the general public eye for over three many years, she’s still one of probably the most beautiful women in Hollywood, but fans think she just doesn’t appear like the person they fell in love with when she was within the group No Doubt or made her debut along with his solo project “I’m Just a Girl” in 1995.

On Monday, October 21, the “Blow Your Mind” singer showed up together with her signature blonde locks, but made her debut with a blunt bang on the NBC competition show.

Her makeup was subtle and included peach shades, but despite her hairstyle change, many individuals speculated that she can have undergone cosmetic procedures.

After posting promotional photos on X, some fans shared their thoughts, with a mixture of admiration and skepticism.

Some admired her youthful appearance, others questioned the changes.

“How can you look younger and younger?” one fan wrote, while one other he said“The Hollywood look is really getting old.”

Experts he said Daily Mail that they believed the singer had work done and based on what they saw, they provided a clinical diagnosis of her face.

Dr. Corey Maas, a facial plastic surgeon in San Francisco, suggested that the fullness of Stefani’s cheeks could also be due to fillers, which help smooth wrinkles and restore volume.

He also noted the tightness of her jawline, noting that “a 55-year-old woman just doesn’t have a jawline like that.”

Maas further suspected that behind her flawless appearance could be a lower face lift, which, if true, would involve tightening the skin round her lower face.

Dr. Maas added that Stefani’s lack of deep wrinkles, which often appear in her late 20s, could also indicate Botox use. Additionally, he noted that while her bangs may distract from any signs of a facelift, it’s unlikely that the fuller appearance of her cheeks is due to the hairstyle change alone.

Another New York-based facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Joel Kopelman, agreed with Maas, suggesting that she could have had a mini facelift, specializing in the looks of her jaw and lower face.

“Looking at Gwen’s recent appearance, especially her smooth jawline and lack of sagging around the cheeks and neck, a mini facelift may have contributed to these results,” he said.

Not everyone criticized the artist. One person criticized the publication, saying: “Two photos taken 18 years apart and MoL says he looks unrecognizable! Most people don’t appear like they did 18 years ago.

Another said: “I think it looks great.”

Other experts also spoke out.

Popular YouTuber Dr. Gary Linkov speculates that Stefani can have spent as much as $428,000 on no less than nine different procedures, including fillers and a brow lift.

Meanwhile, Dr. Michael Bassiri-Tehrani identified that Stefani’s plump cheeks suggest the use of fillers because facial fat tends to decrease with age.

Many people commented on the outlet’s comments section, saying she didn’t need it and sharing their frustrations with celebrities who do unnecessary work.

“I watched The Voice last night and I almost didn’t recognize her,” one person wrote. “My first thought was that he now has bangs to cover the facelift scars.”

Another wrote: “Yes, the (hideous) wig is apparently intended to hide facelift scars before they heal.”

Some people said, “I like Gwen, but she fixes her face too much” and “I went too far, honey.”

“As Joe Gillis from the legendary movie Sunset Boulevard says, ‘There’s nothing tragic about being 50 unless you are trying to be 25.’ I’ll leave it at that,” another person added.

“It’s really sad. “Cosmetic surgery began to be performed on people who needed it, such as those who had been in a car accident or suffered severe burns,” said one commenter, before adding, “Gwen didn’t need it. Her appearance didn’t improve one bit.

Stefani herself hasn’t publicly addressed the speculation, though she did say so once in a 2004 People story interview“I hope my children will protect me from my vanity. If not, cosmetic surgery is an option… Growing up sucks. We all have to accept this.”

Regardless of what treatments she has or has not undergone, the Grammy winner continues to reinvent herself and remains to be a beauty. Her fans could also be divided over her appearance, however the singer’s evolving appearance stays a testament to her status as a popular culture icon.
