Plastic surgeon reveals whether Zac Efron has secretly had work done to his face and jaw

You might have noticed Zac Efron looking a bit different in recent years, speaking rumours he’s had plastic surgery done to his face and jaw. After appearing in Netflix’s A Family Affair fans were quick to point out how much his jaw and face shape had changed since his High School Musical days, but has he actually had work done?

Well, Zac Efron has previously spoken about the claims, explaining that the reason why he looks so different is because of an accident, which affected his face and jaw muscles. He explained to Vanity Fair that in 2013 he was “running through his house in socks and slipped” and as a result shattered his jaw on a granite fountain. Ouch. He explained that as a result of the incident his jaw muscles wouldn’t stop growing because of the trauma, saying: “The masseters just grew. They just got really, really big.”

He also joked that his mum told him about the plastic surgery rumours, explaining: “My mom told me. I don’t really read the internet, so, I don’t really give a f**k. It was funny. It sucks. I almost died, but we’re good.” But we all know celebrities can be a bit deceitful about denying they’ve had plastic surgery done, so has Zac Efron really not had any work done to his face and jaw? Plastic surgeon expert Dr Mark Solomos has revealed his thoughts on Zac’s changing face over the years, and what it could all mean.

He revealed to MailOnline: “As a young boy Zac appears to have more of an oval shaped face which is a combination of square and round. The face is usually longer than it is wide as we can see in this picture from 2010. By 2010 Zac has matured and his face has filled out somewhat accordingly, as we would expect to see. His jawline is perhaps more angular but not due to any interventions- he’s simply “grown into his face. Zac appears to have some displacement or asymmetry; his right side seems to be lower.

“Fast forward to 2015 and that asymmetry has been corrected. His right side is no longer lower than the left and it appears to me that he’ll have had some kind of surgery to correct that, possibly orthognathic with plates and screws or removing part of the bone. In 2022 his jaw looks really square which has changed his oval face shape somewhat. I would suggest that perhaps he wasn’t happy with the previous surgery and so he’s gone back and had his jaw augmented- possibly with a chin implant or further orthognathic surgery.”

As for whether he has had surgery, overall Dr Mark thinks: “He’s had that [issues mentioned from 2022] reversed or removed as the jaw we can see has lost its angular shape and the face is more rounded. It’s also worth noting that Zac’s weight and body shape has changed many times over the years to accommodate various roles- weight loss/gain, diets etc will also have an impact on one’s face- naturally if there’s more weight on a face it will appear softer and rounder too.”

So all in all it seems that whilst Zac might have had some corrective surgery it was all as a result of his accident, and everyone’s face does change naturally as they get older too. Looks like we can put the Botox rumours to rest once and for all.
