Lindsay went back to her redheaded roots at the Mean Girls movie premiere in 2004.

Around the time, she often sported tanner skin for a more bronzed appearance.

Fans also speculated that she had gotten a breast augmentation due to her fuller-busted appearance, though she flatly denied it.

She told The Daily News in 2004: "I would never get breast implants. I just wear fantastic Victoria’s Secret bras.”

Less than two weeks after her release from rehab, Lindsay Lohan was arrested for another DUI, felony possession of cocaine, and driving with a suspended license in July 2007.

A year and a half later, she looked like she had lost weight at the official grand opening party for the Atlantis Hotel on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai in November 2008.

Speculation began that she had gotten a nose job, which she has also never confirmed.

Triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kassir offered his opinions about the celebrity on his .

He said: “It looks like Lindsay’s nose is narrower and more refined. It fits her face better.”

Lindsay was arrested for the second time in July 2010, when her 90-day jail term was cut to 14 days.

In her mugshot, she had thick black eyeliner and bleached blonde hair.

After blogs pointed to a cut on her lip and speculated that she'd had lip filler, Lindsay posted a photo of herself on Twitter denying the claim.

She wrote: "See! My lips are just as they've always been. Lol, it's nuts that I feel the need to give proof! What is this world coming to!!"

Lindsay appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with bright platinum blonde hair in March 2012.

Many noticed that her cheeks appeared fuller, with some saying that they looked "overdone."

Speaking to in 2012, board-certified facial plastic surgeon James Marotta, M.D. agreed that “clearly she’s had some kind of volume added to the cheeks.”

He guessed that it might be fat injections or a facial filler like Sculptra.

New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon Matthew Schulman, M.D. speculated about her look while speaking to Forbes.

“I don’t think it’s any secret that Lindsay’s had some stuff done. Clearly, she’s had some lip augmentation.

"Her skin looks much smoother and lighter, so maybe some Botox and fillers in her cheeks, which is why her cheeks look fuller,” he claimed.

Lindsay was silent on the subject and never confirmed getting injections.

By the mid-2010s, Lindsay chose to live abroad to get away from the spotlight.

Following several stays in rehab and stints in jail, she kept a low profile but would occasionally be seen at chic events around the world.

At an after-party following the screening of La Legende de La Palme d’Or at China Tang in November 2015, she looked noticeably skinnier than years prior and her hair color settled in an auburn shade.

Much of her speculated facial filler appeared dissolved and unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Lindsay moved to Dubai in 2019 but regularly made appearances at fashion and beauty events around the world.

By this point, she went back to her natural red locks and pale skin as talk continued online about whether or not she had gotten plastic surgery done.

“Lindsay's nose appears to be much slimmer than in her early appearances, with a natural slope and point.

"This could indicate that she has undergone a rhinoplasty procedure to achieve this shape,” MYA Cosmetic Surgery surgeon told in 2019.

Lindsay tied the knot in July 2022 with her husband Bader Shammas.

Her face looked very different from her early days as a Hollywood teen queen and many felt the same over the years.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not treated Lindsay, commented on her appearance to the National Enquirer in 2017.

“Lindsay looks a lot different than we remember! Her lips look like they’ve been injected with a stiffer filler, like Restylane Lyft. Her cheeks also look plumped up, possibly due to filler like Voluma,” he said.
