Lindsay Lohan has recently amazed both fans and professionals with her striking new look, leading to speculation about possible cosmetic procedures. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Barrett expressed his surprise at her dramatic change and even jokingly suggested an otherworldly explanation for the Freaky Friday star‘s transformation.

In a video posted on his Instagram, Barrett, known for his work in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, was asked to evaluate celebrity plastic surgeries on a scale of 1 to 8. Regarding Lohan, 38, the doctor said: “‘I don’t even know if that’s plastic surgery, or if she was abducted by aliens. So you can’t even put that one on there.”

Lindsay Lohan's Allegedly Lifted Face Puzzles A Plastic Surgeon Amid Ongoing Cosmetic Surgery Speculations

Barrett continued attempting to understand the Mean Girls alum's change in yet another Instagram video, as noted by The Daily Mail. He noted that she appeared to be a "completely different person" and also quipped that this could be due to an "alien invasion." He added: "What the eff is going on" while explaining that Lohan looked "a lot different and much improved" throughout 2024.

He shared with his followers: "I personally am stumped here. I don't know what the eff is going on because she looks so dramatically different from even just a couple years ago. You know, overfilled, kind of frumpy facial feature." The expert continued: "I mean, you know, she's still a beautiful woman, but you know there's certain things about her cheek that are just really exaggerated that you typically see, and she has a tired and aged appearance back in 2020, and 2022."

The surgeon added: "And then in 2024 her skin looks completely tight. I don't even see any of the nasal labial folds." He then said he wondered if she "just backed off all the filler, got everything dissolved... and did some dramatic skin tightening, combined with some weight loss, maybe Ozempic, some really good makeup." Regarding the mom of one, Barrett also said that her "eyes are tighter, they look completely different. Eyebrows look completely different. The lips, they look smaller and tighter. The chin looks more defined. This looks like a completely different person."

Earlier this month, Lohan’s dermatologist and “anti-aging specialist,” Dr. Radmila Lukian, posted a new photo with her. In the image, Lohan posed without makeup, putting her glowing, radiant complexion on full display. This came after Dr. Jonny Betteridge, an expert in aesthetics, proposed that the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen actress might have invested as much as $300,000 on various cosmetic treatments.

Dr. Betteridge, the visionary behind JB Aesthetics in London and a professional with extensive experience in Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care, and Anesthetics, elaborated on the potential enhancements in a recent video shared on Instagram. Fans of Lohan in the comments section wrote that her “new face” was “worth every penny” and noted that Lohan seems to be in a “happier place and sober now too, which definitely shows.” In the clip, Betteridge explained why he believed the Parent Trap star recently underwent a face lift, a surgical brow lift, a rhinoplasty procedure and an upper eyelid surgery.

He shared that Lohan might've gotten "some degree of surgical facelift" that was done with a "endoscopic approach." The doctor also noted that Lohan could've gotten "botox, a lip lift, lip fillers, and veneers." He also took a closer look at her glowing, radiant and supple skin, crediting this to "laser resurfacing" and a "dermatologist-led skincare routine." Betteridge added: "And the cost of this, if you combine everything together, would be in the range of $200-300K."

What Lindsay Lohan Has Shared About Her Radiant Skincare Routine

Back in October, Lohan sat down with Allure and opened up about her skincare routine. She stressed that her priority is "taking care of my skin" and noted that she previously experimented with "laser, Morpheus and IPL." Every morning, Lohan revealed that she begins her skincare routine with a chilled face cloth.

Following this refreshing step, she applies either Avène's Redness Expert Soothing Moisturizing Concentrated Cream or their Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream to maintain her skin's calm and hydrated appearance. She said that the latter is "lightweight and hydrating and not overly greasy."

Lohan additionally shared that she relies on Peter Thomas Roth eye patches to reduce puffiness around her eyes. She also mentioned that her preferred makeup style tends to be "pretty light" or subtle. "'If I wear anything, it’s Giorgio Armani Silk foundation or Kevyn Aucoin concealer. Maybe some eyeshadow if I’m going out, and Westman Atelier mascara," Lohan told the outlet. She continued: "One thing I’ve embraced more since becoming a mom is going out naturally and not feeling the need to put something on my face all the time. I think we live under pressure to look made-up, but I don’t feel that way anymore."

"I just want to look at myself and love myself for who I am," Lohan explained. Every night, Lohan said she opts for "Aveeno face wipes, some Avène face wash and then the redness cream at night again because after I take everything off, I get a little pink." The Irish Wish star also said that after the arrival of her son Luai, who is now 16 months old and her child with husband Bader Shammas, she felt a strong resolve to prioritize products made with simple, natural components.
