Before And After Pics Of Adele Show How Much Weight Loss Transformed Her Face

Singer Adele famously lost 100 pounds around 2020, sparking all kinds of interest in her weight loss journey. The transformation particularly changed her face, and we want to talk about that. Her fitness journey was sparked by her divorce from Simon Konecki; the two split in 2019 and share son, Angelo. The divorce stirred up anxiety in Adele, and working out became a solution. "It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better. It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone," Adele told British Vogue in November 2021. "I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day." 

Adele explained that she lifted weights in the mornings, then did something physical like hiking or boxing in the afternoons, followed by cardio in the evenings. And this led to notable weight loss, but not a change in attitude towards loving her body. "You don't need to be overweight to be body positive, you can be any shape or size," Adele told Vogue. But the split also created other changes. Adele went through a stunning style transformation after her divorce, making her part of the list of celebs who've had an epic post-divorce glow up. While the singer seems to be happy with the changes she's made — primarily ones that focus on health and strength — Adele's face looks remarkably different, enough so that the transformation has sparked plastic surgery rumors. 

In side-by-side photos of Adele from before her weight loss to after, the singer looks notably different. There are obvious reasons for this. When someone loses weight, the fat pads in their face and neck shrink, making the facial structure look more pronounced. The cheeks and the temple area can look much more defined, as the scaffolding beneath has grown smaller. It mimics the popular plastic surgery of buccal fat removal, which permanently takes away the fat in one's cheeks and jawline area. On Adele, her cheek and jawline region show the most significant change. 

In fact, her transformation was so epic that plastic surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir spoke to Page Six, hypothesizing that Adele may have had some plastic surgery to supplement her weight loss changes. It's important to note that Dr. Kassir has not treated Adele, nor has she confirmed having any plastic surgery. "It absolutely could be [Adele's] own jawline that was exposed [after the weight loss], but it's so clean-looking now and it's so tight that it just wouldn't shock me if she had a little bit of extra help," he said. Dr. Kassir also noticed that Adele's lips are fuller following her weight loss. Typically, the lips become thinner along with the rest of the face. He suggested that she may have plumped up her lips using filler. Adele looks gorgeous before and after, and we stand with her decision to prioritize her health and wellbeing.
