Ellen DeGeneres Plastic Surgery Before and After Facelift and Botox

Enquirer: Ellen DeGeneres has spent a fortune on lots of “secret” plastic surgery

I’ve never even considered this before, but apparently there were some rumors about this a few years ago. Around 2010, a few sites claimed that Ellen DeGeneres had gotten some subtle tweaking here and there – reducing the bags under her eyes, a small eye lift maybe, but nothing like a full-on facelift. This was around the time when she signed on to American Idol, I guess. You can see some before-and-after shots here and here. Anyway, The Enquirer is polishing up this old chestnut and claiming that Ellen has had a LOT of work done and she continues to get a lot of stuff done, and that she’s secretly very, very vain, and that she spends hours in the makeup chair trying to hide her plastic surgery scars.

Did Ellen DeGeneres Get a Facelift for American Idol? 

Actress, stand-up comedian, and Emmy Award-winning host of the syndicated talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show Ellen DeGeneres has just been announced as the new fourth judge of American Idol. Make Me Heal wonders whether the funny lady has had any more plastic surgery to tackle the task of taking on a second job.

51-year old Ellen DeGeneres wed her longtime girlfriend, Portia de Rossi last summer, when same-sex marriage was still legal in California. At the time, Make Me Heal reported on the couples’ possible plastic surgery refreshments, including Botox, Juvederm and laser treatments and chemical peels (See Make Me Heal’s story on Ellen DeGeneres’ and Portia de Rossi’s plastic surgeries).

As Ellen is older and more regularly in the spotlight, she may have also had more invasive plastic surgery procedures, including: a brow lift, laser peel, neck lift, and Botox. More recently, she may have also had a facelift and eyelift.

Her refreshments may have also helped her become a spokeswoman for CoverGirl cosmetics, celebrating the beauty of a variety of women.

If Ellen has had work, she likely had it over a period of time, allowing fans to grow accustomed to her appearance. Having work over time, rather than all at once helps a patient have a more natural and refreshed result. When too many procedures are done at once, it often results in a more “plasticized” looking face.

Of her new role as judge, Ellen has been quoted as saying, “I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol. I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text my vote.”

DeGeneres, 55, is estimated to have had a nose job, botox injections, facelift, eye lift, lasers, chemical peels, facial fillers,veneers and neck lift.

Around 2010, some gossip websites claimed that DeGeneres had a small eye lift as the bags under her eyes seemed to have been significantly reduced.

The National Enquirer said that Ellen has had a lot of work done and she continues to get a lot of plastic surgery, because she is very vain, noting that she spends hours in the makeup chair trying to conceal her plastic surgery scars.

Judging by the before and after photos, Ellen appears more fresh faced, a sign of face and eye lift, but the result is definitely subtle and seems natural as she was smart enough  to not fix her crow's feet, giving you with the impression she didn't have work done.

Ellen's nose has been reduced a bit in size, but it is still large and bulbous, a subtle and well-executed nose job that only effected the tip. Her nose shape and contour blends well with the rest of her face.

The aging signs around her neck have been reduced in order to match her wrinkle-free forehead.

Ellen DeGeneres is one of the best cases of good / subtle celebrity plastic surgery.  From the before & after photos, her nose job was very subtle and only effected the tip.  She still has a larger / bulbous nose, but it is a bit smaller than it was when she was younger.  Also, the shape & contour works really well with her overall facial structure.  Here's Ellen DeGeneres before & after cosmetic surgery:
