Jennifer Lawrence is in the spotlight for a discussion about plastic surgery after her recent photoshoot surprised some fans who found it hard to recognize her. The actress talked about getting breast augmentation after her second child, but attention quickly shifted to her face. Many people are wondering if she might have had other cosmetic work done, especially concerning her eyes. Some observers noted that her eyelids, which were once hooded, appear different in her latest photos, leading to speculation that she may have undergone a procedure known as blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift.
Despite these claims, Lawrence has denied having eye surgery, saying the changes in her look are due to makeup techniques. However, she is not alone in facing scrutiny about her eyes. In Hollywood, even small changes in a celebrity’s appearance often lead to comparisons before and after any procedures. Since the eyes are crucial for recognizing faces, any change in eyelid shape or the amount of visible skin can significantly alter someone’s look. Factors like aging, makeup, lighting, and photography also influence appearances, making it difficult to determine if someone has had surgery based solely on images.
Several celebrities have experienced similar questioning about their appearances. Some have openly discussed eyelid surgeries, while others have not confirmed any rumors. As Lawrence is currently under public examination, here are eight other stars whose looks have led to speculations about blepharoplasty over time.
Bradley Cooper, known for his roles in films ranging from comedies like The Hangover to serious dramas like A Star Is Born, has recently attracted attention for changes around his eyes. This has sparked rumors that he might have had an upper blepharoplasty. There are also suggestions that he could have undergone a facelift, with some comparing his recent appearance to other celebrities facing similar rumors.
During a January 2026 appearance on the SmartLess podcast, Cooper addressed the speculation alongside the hosts. His friend Will Arnett defended him by stating that many believe Cooper has had plastic surgery, but he has not. Cooper seemed to take the attention lightly, mentioning that people often comment on his looks.
Some cosmetic professionals think that the changes around Cooper’s eyes could suggest he had upper blepharoplasty, but others argue that factors like aging, weight changes, and differences in lighting might explain his appearance. Plastic surgeon Dr. Maercks discussed Cooper’s looks with the Daily Mail, mentioning that he seems to show “midfacial descent,” which is the natural sagging of facial tissues. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. John Diaz also commented on the changes, attributing them to aging rather than cosmetic work. He noted that the volume loss under his eyelids and cheekbones creates a shadowing effect that makes him appear different.
