Amid the plastic surgery rumors, Dr. Onir Spiegel, Director of Aesthetic Services at The Spiegel Center, suggested she may have undergone a deep plane facelift "along with some form of skin resurfacing, such as Ellacor or a CO₂ laser, to smooth fine lines and improve overall skin texture."
"Her jawline appears significantly more defined, and there is noticeable improvement in the cheeks and the area around the eyes. This could be the result of extending the facelift in a more vertical direction, possibly combined with a temporal brow lift," he added.
Dr. Spiegel also noticed Loughlin's smoother appearance, which he believes may have been "influenced by photo filters or lighting, similar to what we've seen in other high-profile cases where results appear more dramatic in images than in real life."
The doctor concluded, "Overall, she looks great, and these types of procedures would be consistent with achieving this kind of refreshed, lifted appearance."
