Beyoncé may keep her personal life out of the limelight as much as possible, but that won’t stop the masses from trying to dish out as much as they can about her. Recently, people have once again been speculating about whether the 38-year-old superstar has had any plastic surgery.
One plastic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Barrett, has taken to TikTok to give followers his expert opinion. In his video, he compares photos of Beyoncé from the past and present to point out differences in her appearance, and what cosmetic procedures she could have had done to achieve those changes.
How did Beyoncé become famous?

Beyoncé (Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter) has perhaps the largest following out of all her famous peers, but she wasn’t always as popular as she is now. Beyoncé first became famous as a member of the group Destiny’s Child. Along with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Destiny’s Child officially debuted in 1997 with their self-titled debut album released the following year.
In 1999, Destiny’s Child became a huge sensation with their second album The Writing’s on the Wall and hits including “Say My Name” and “Jumpin’ Jumpin’.” From there, the trio was unstoppable. Destiny’s Child was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards (winning three), has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and, although they officially disbanded in 2006, performed together for the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2013.
Beyoncé released her debut solo album in 2003 titled Dangerously in Love. Her hit single “Crazy in Love” took the lead on her debut album, and Beyoncé has been iconic to her fans ever since. She has released six total albums, has been nominated for 70 Grammy Awards (the most for a woman in Grammy history), and has won 26 MTV Video Music Awards.
Has Beyoncé had plastic surgery?
Beyoncé has never officially commented on whether or not she’s had any cosmetic surgery done. For years, fans have speculated that she’s had fillers in her face, at the very least, as well as possibly some liposuction and a butt lift, because her body appears to have changed significantly from her earlier days in the spotlight.
Many suggest, however, that the changes in her appearance stem from simply giving birth to her children. Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, have had three children together: Blue Ivy in 2012 and twins Rumi and Sir in 2017.
It was following the latter pregnancy that the public began suspecting she’d had plastic surgery done to alter her body. Many, on the other hand, responded to her critics by arguing that being pregnant with twins was enough to change her body by giving her more curves.
Dr. Daniel Barrett gives his opinion on TikTok
In a video on TikTok, Dr. Daniel Barrett, a Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon, gave his expert opinion on the matter. He first compares two photos of Beyoncé’s face, stating that it looked as though she had a rhinoplasty done to make her nose appear thinner.
He says: “There’s no way you can go from this [before] to this [after] without a rhinoplasty.” He goes on to agree with many that she’s also had some dermal fillers in her face.
Barrett also suspects strongly that Beyoncé has had a breast augmentation. He points out how rounded her breasts appear, saying that wouldn’t happen naturally. However, she was clearly glammed up for an event in the photo he uses, so maybe it was tape.
Finally, Barrett scrutinizes her body and says that many fans think she’s had liposuction or a Brazilian butt lift. He states that, in his expert opinion, he can’t say for certain if she has had work done in those areas. The changes could be attributed to her latest pregnancy or her vegan lifestyle.
