Beauty transformations in Hollywood are always a hot topic, and Anya Taylor-Joy has caught the attention of many with her latest transformation. With a wide range of roles and a successful career, The Queen’s Gambit actress, 27, has become one of Hollywood’s most promising young stars.
Unfortunately, she must deal with rumors about her appearance while juggling the demands of fame. Fans were certainly worried about her, particularly since rumors circulated that she had plastic surgery. Buccal fat removal is one procedure that is allegedly responsible for her transformation. With this procedure, fat pads in the cheeks are removed, which helps to define and sculpt the facial features (probably like a Greek goddess).
Anya Taylor-Joy’s Cheekbones Under Scrutiny?
After securing the lead role in Robert Eggers’ 2015 horror film The Witch, Anya Taylor-Joy rose to fame. She discovered that the process of making this flick was immensely instructive (see Independent). The actress also revealed to Interview that she and Eggers had to adjust to stardom overnight because the film was an unexpected hit:
“We didn’t know if anyone was ever going to see it, and, literally overnight, the film exploded.”
Someone who rises to that level of prominence will undoubtedly receive the superstar treatment, which includes regular photo shoots. Having said that, several fans concluded that Taylor-Joy may have undergone plastic surgery after comparing pictures of her through time. Many fans started speculating in a Reddit thread about why they thought Taylor-Joy had surgery to give her cheekbones more of a “sculpted” and “sunken” appearance.
One fan examined a still of her from the 2017 movie Split and said, “I wish she did not do buccal fat removal; she looked so cute.” One commenter stated, “I prefer post-buccal fat removal,” while other admirers speculated that she may not have needed surgery because of her “weight loss.”
In more exact terms, many believe that Taylor-Joy underwent surgery to remove fat from her buccal area. Well, celebrities appear to have taken a strong interest in buccal fat removal surgery over the past few years (see Business Insider).
The procedure alters a person’s cheek appearance, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. More precisely, those who undergo the procedure no longer have round cheeks.
“Buccal fat removal is an elective plastic surgery procedure to remove fat in the lower cheek, which gives the bottom part of the face a narrower shape and emphasizes the cheekbones and jawline… The size and shape of these pads varies from person to person. More fat in the buccal region can give the face a round appearance.”
However, please take note that, aside from fan tweets and rumors, there has not been any solid or conclusive evidence to support her alleged plastic surgery.

As an actor, she has come a long way. And it appears that she will not be stopping anytime soon on her journey. Rather, she wants to continuously challenge herself to try new activities. Apparently, she told NME that her next big goal is to star in a musical:
“The idea of having to push your body through all of that and learn all of those skills really excites me.”
Alright, it appears that Taylor-Joy has no intention of taking a break from her achievements.
It cannot be disputed, however, that she looks amazing both before and after her buccal fat removal procedure. On the work front, we last saw her in an uncredited cameo as Alia Atreides in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, which is currently doing exceptionally well at the box office.
Next, she will play the lead role in George Miller’s action flick, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
