An old celebrity plastic surgery analysis is suddenly making the rounds again, and this time it has people talking more than ever. Dr. Anthony Youn, a well-known plastic surgeon based in Michigan who often breaks down celebrity looks online, shared his thoughts on Meghan Markle's appearance in a video that was originally posted on YouTube years ago. Now, it's being widely shared across social media after several outlets picked it back up.
According to Dr. Youn's method, he compared photos of Markle at age 17 and again at 25 to figure out what he believes was her natural, unaltered look before any possible cosmetic work. He described the earlier photos as showing features that matched her natural heritage, calling that her true baseline appearance.
Focusing specifically on her nose, the surgeon pointed out that her younger self had a more rounded tip and a bit more width — traits he considered completely natural. Comparing that to how she looks now, Dr. Youn suggested she likely had some kind of rhinoplasty done, though he was careful to note that part of the difference could simply come down to makeup contouring or better lighting in more recent photos. He also floated the idea that she may have gotten a small amount of lip filler at some point, though he downplayed it as nothing dramatic.
Since Markle has never publicly confirmed getting any cosmetic procedures done, all of this remains speculation from outside experts who have never actually treated her. Still, that hasn't stopped the internet from weighing in. Reaction online has been split right down the middle — some commenters think Dr. Youn's read on her transformation is spot on, while others believe there's likely been even more work done than he's giving credit for. One Instagram user even joked that she's probably had more than a single nose job over the years.
This isn't the first time medical professionals have speculated about Markle's appearance. Other surgeons over the years have offered very different takes — some insisting her nose is completely natural, others pointing to subtle refinements they believe were surgically done. It's a debate that has followed her since long before she became a royal, and it doesn't look like it's dying down anytime soon.
