- Mariah Carey denies getting plastic surgery.
- Some experts believe that Carey’s appearance can be attributed to plastic surgery.
- The possibility of Carey using her assistant’s credit card for plastic surgery expenses, as reported by The Daily Mail, adds another layer to the discussion surrounding her looks.
Throughout modern music history, there have been very few artists who were as talented as Mariah Carey. As a result of that and her work ethic, Carey managed to amass a truly incredible fortune throughout her many years in the public eye.
On top of the commercial success that Carey has enjoyed, it also has to be noted that she has had a huge effect on pop culture. For proof of that, all anyone has to do is look at the fact that there is so much interest in Carey that fans want to know how she maintains her looks. One of the main theories about that is the belief that Carey’s looks are linked to plastic surgery.
Has Mariah Carey Gotten Plastic Surgery To Still Look Young?
Since Mariah Carey became a music superstar during the ’90s, she has managed to do the seemingly impossible, by remaining rich and famous. While Carey deserves to be proud of that, her time on top certainly has its downsides too. One example of that is the fact that Carey has been dogged by rumors she’d gotten extensive plastic surgery for more than a decade now.
In 2008, the website Digital Spy published an article in which they quoted Carey talking about whether she’d gotten plastic surgery. According to that piece, Carey denied undergoing plastic surgery while speaking to a publication for her British fans.
“I know the UK is freaking out that I had some crazy plastic surgery done, but… honestly, it’s working out and diet. Look at what I’m eating right now – olives! It makes me upset that people think I’ve had surgery, ’cause let’s discuss how annoying the dieting process was. My girls will eat really good fried food, and I also love sweet plantain and rice and peas, but I can’t eat it! If I eat it, it’s small!”
In 2023, The Daily Mail published an article about celebrities who deny having ever gotten plastic surgery. Since they included Carey, the publication wrote about how the legendary singer has still never admitted to going under the knife.
Mariah Carey Took Control With Stephen Colbert After He Made An Incorrect Statement About Her Christmas Legacy
Mariah Carey cleared the air about her “Queen of Christmas” title while chatting with Stephen Colbert.
In theory, Carey’s consistent denials could be enough to dismiss the idea that the singer has ever gotten a plastic surgery procedure done. However, there are reasons to think that Carey may not be telling the complete truth about whether she has had any procedures done.

The most obvious reason why many people question Carey’s plastic surgery denials is how beautiful she remains. On top of that, some observers believe that Carey’s body has changed in ways that only plastic surgery explains.
Mariah Carey Seemed Insulted By Howard Stern Objectifying Her During An Uncomfortable Interview
Mariah Carey appeared to be extremely uncomfortable because of Howard Stern objectifying her.
On top of all that, many observers point to a 2019 report published by The Daily Mail that, if true, would be proof of Carey’s plastic surgery use. According to this report which cites an “insider”, Carey used her assistant’s American Express credit card to get procedures done.
The Daily Mail’s report makes a secondary claim about Carey’s spending as well. The second aspect of the story is that Carey’s financial managers have tried to curtail her spending by limiting the credit cards she can use. To get around this, if the report is accurate, Carey spends money on everyone in her life’s credit cards and then forces her team to repay them.
“Mariah never wanted people to know about her shopping or surgeries so she would put them on [former assistant] Lianna’s [Shakhnazaryan] card or [former manager] Stella’s [Bulochnikov] cards. She has an AMEX card of her own but her business management team only let her have one because of her spending – she always spent so much on it, it would get maxed out.All the staff, including her security guards and nannies, have to put stuff on their cards and get it reimbursed. Even for things like the children’s McDonald’s. They were never given money up front or petty cash.”
The Way Mariah Carey Looks Can Be Explained By Plastic Surgery According To Experts
When people compare photos of Mariah Carey from when she first became famous to current ones, there is no doubt she looks different. However, the ways in which Carey’s looks have changed are different from what most people expect to see when stars age.
To be clear, most observers believe that Carey is and has always been a beautiful woman. Furthermore, whatever Carey has or hasn’t done to achieve her appearance is her fine if she is happy with herself. That said, people want answers to explain how gorgeous Carey is and, according to some experts, plastic surgery is the key.
In 2017, the team behind In Touch Weekly asked two plastic surgeons to analyze how Carey’s looks have changed over the years. Between Dr. Gary Goldenberg and Dr. Rian Maercks, they suggested that Carey had likely undergone many procedures by then.
Was One Of Jennifer Lopez’s Biggest Successes Stolen From Mariah Carey?
Mariah Carey might have a really good reason to resent Jennifer Lopez which most of both women’s fans don’t know about.
When asked about Carey’s chest, Dr. Maercks suggested, “Her bust appears to be enhanced by high-profile subpectoral breast implants and possibly additional fat transfer.” The same doctor also remarked that it was likely that Carey underwent similar procedures to her rear end.
Later on, Dr. Maercks stated his belief that Carey had likely undergone “liposuction of the abdomen”. Dr. Maercks claimed that the results of the liposuction could have been used to make Carey’s chest and rear end larger.
In Dr. Goldenberg’s case, he claimed that Carey likely had many things done to her face. That is how Dr. Goldenberg explains that it is possible for Carey to still look so young now that she is in her 50s.

“Her forehead is completely smooth, likely result of regular Botox injections and laser resurfacing or micro needling to smooth out fine wrinkles and lines. She’s also had Botox around her eyes — she has no crow’s feet when she smiles. Her cheeks have always been full, but they are likely augmented with filler, such as Juvederm or Restylane. Her eyes a more upturned in the current photo — a result that may be achieved with facial contouring with fillers, such as Radiesse or Bellafill. She’s also rid of her gummy smile — something that can be achieved with Botox. Her lips remain nicely shaped and full — she’s likely keeping up with Restylane or Juvederm injections there. She’s also likely getting regular chemical peels or laser treatment for her skin — it is better now than it was before. Her pores are smaller and there’s no evidence of dyspigmentation.”
