Under the knife? Modern Family star Julie Bowen is sparking plastic surgery rumors thanks to a drastic change in her facial features over the years — and multiple experts revealed to Life & Style exclusively how she could have obtained her changing looks.
“This surely is a case of Botox gone bad, unless she has recently been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. Her droopy smile is most likely due to incorrect placement of Botox outside the masseter muscle,” said Jennifer Leebow of the LABB. “This technique is used commonly in facial and jaw contouring like we see with the amazing transformations of the Kardashian crew and other celebrities in Hollywood. It can be extremely successful in slimming and softening the jawline while creating a more contoured appearance overall. Results are usually seen in a few months after the procedure, and treatment is ongoing to maintain best results.”

Dr. Gary Goldenberg agreed with the Botox possibility, adding, “Her lips are a bit more full in the current photo, which may be accomplished with lip fillers augmentation. Her cheeks are also a bit more prominent in the current photo, so I would not be surprised if she’s had some contouring with fillers. Lastly, her skin is flawless, which can be accomplished with laser resurfacing or micro needling with PRP or stem cells.”
Julie plays homemaker Claire Dunphy on the beloved ABC series, who is married to Phil Dunphy [played by Ty Burrell] and mother to three children, Haley [Sarah Hyland], Luke [Nolan Gould], and Alex [Ariel Winter]. However, the blonde beauty revealed in a previous interview that she almost didn’t take on the role.
“I wanted to, but I was so pregnant with the twins during the audition that process and then would just bring me in and stare at my stomach — I think that they maybe legally couldn’t say like, ‘What’s that about?’ And I think they thought I was so large that I was going to give birth at any minute and then I could do the show after, but instead they were just playing it very like, ‘Mhmmm,’” she said via People. “I’d go home and cry and think I’m never going to get this — the greatest job in the world — so I took myself out of first place for it, because there was another job that was auditioning where the lady was pregnant.”
Modern Family airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

The claims made by Jennifer Leebow and Dr. Gary Goldenberg regarding Julie Bowen's transformation are rooted in the realm of cosmetic procedures, with a focus on Botox, lip fillers, and other facial contouring techniques. Let's break down the key concepts mentioned in the article:
-
Botox Gone Bad and Bell's Palsy: Jennifer Leebow suggests that Julie Bowen's droopy smile could be a result of Botox gone bad, specifically due to incorrect placement outside the masseter muscle.

Lip Fillers Augmentation: Dr. Gary Goldenberg points out that Julie Bowen's lips appear more full in the current photo, suggesting the use of lip fillers for augmentation. Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic procedure to enhance lip volume and shape.

Cheek Contouring with Fillers: Dr. Goldenberg also notes that Julie's cheeks seem more prominent in the current photo, implying the potential use of fillers for contouring. Facial fillers are commonly employed to add volume and definition to specific areas of the face.

Skin Rejuvenation Techniques: The article mentions Julie Bowen's flawless skin, attributing it to possible techniques such as laser resurfacing or microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or stem cells. These procedures aim to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote a more youthful appearance.
In summary, the experts in the article speculate that Julie Bowen's changing looks could be attributed to a combination of Botox, lip fillers, facial contouring with fillers, and various skin rejuvenation techniques.
