We found pics of Selling The OC’s Polly then vs now, and she’s literally unrecognisable
Is this even the same person?
Polly Brindle’s glow-up on Selling The OC has had viewers doing double takes, and when resurfaced pics from her older Instagram and throwback snaps began circulating, the rumour mill revved up.
Some changes are cosmetic-care real (she’s publicly talked about laser work), while other whispers, about Botox, lips, a nose job or filler tweaks, come from folks comparing headshots and selfies across a decade of photos.
Let’s break down each procedure claim, what’s actually been confirmed, and where the speculation is coming from…
Laser resurfacing and skin treatments
Polly herself shared a detailed post about undergoing a Lutronic laser treatment to improve overall skin texture and brightness, describing swelling and short-term recovery in a public update.
That post is the one solid thing we do know. It’s her openly confirming at least one professional treatment.
Botox and dermal fillers

Now, moving onto the (many) rumours. Folks frequently point to Polly’s smooth-looking forehead and subtly fuller midface as signs of neuromodulators and fillers.
These are common non-surgical treatments used to soften lines and restore volume, and they’re often indistinguishable from great makeup and lighting.
Most of this comes from people comparing old and new photos in roundups and social posts, nothing Polly has ever actually confirmed. So it definitely sits in the ‘rumour, not fact’ category.
The Tab commented on how she literally hasn’t aged over the decades after investigating her Instagram page.
Lip enhancement

People comparing older selfies to current close-ups sometimes speculate that Polly appears to have a slightly plumper lip shape these days.
Lip filler is one of the most commonly suspected tweaks for reality TV faces, but again, lighting, lipstick techniques and natural ageing can all create the same optical effect.
There’s no public statement from Polly confirming lip work.
Rhinoplasty rumours

The “different nose” theory shows up whenever cast members have a decades-spanning photo trail online.
Some folks say Polly’s nasal bridge and tip look refined in recent press shots versus older photos.
Many medical professionals caution that camera angle, contouring makeup, and even weight changes affect perceived nose shape, so without confirmation from Polly, this remains unproven.
Cheek and jawline sculpting

A sharper jawline and lifted cheek can come from weight shifts, makeup sculpting, or injectable cheek and jaw fillers, and many reality stars use combination approaches to maintain a camera-ready profile.
Online roundups of the cast often list cheek or jaw work as a possibility, but reliable confirmation from Polly hasn’t been published.
