Chelsea Houska DeBoer looks like a different person now compared to when she first stepped into the spotlight. Over the last few years, she’s been making bizarre changes to her face that have left her almost unrecognizable.
But what kind of cosmetic procedures has Chelsea had? The truth behind her insane transformation is honestly shocking, so let’s get into it.
When Chelsea first rose to MTV fame on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 2, she was only 18. So it makes sense that her appearance has changed over the years, considering she’s now 32. But the aging process still doesn’t explain why her face looks alarmingly different.
Chelsea used to have natural beauty, but now her face almost looks like it’s made of plastic. She’s always had a slightly oval-shaped face, but it’s extremely elongated now and appears to be drooping down more than ever.
Strangely enough, Chelsea’s jaw and cheekbones look incredibly pronounced, which has made her face appear wider overall. There are also parts of her face, especially near her mouth and eyebrows, that basically don’t move anymore.
Chelsea is no stranger to getting Botox, and her dad has even given her the injections. Since he works as a dentist and has his own office, Randy has been able to help Chelsea keep up with her Botox for a long time.
But over the last few years, it seems like her injections are doing much more than just erasing her wrinkles, and not in a good way. Chelsea has relied so heavily on Botox to keep her looking young that it’s started to have the total opposite effect. Her eyes appear to be drooping down at the outside corners because areas near them have been overfilled.
Chelsea Has Admitted to Having a “Little Bit of Filler”
Botox clearly isn’t the only thing she’s had done, considering her lips have gone from natural-looking to ridiculously large. A few years ago, Chelsea was still denying ever getting lip filler until multiple people pointed out the very noticeable difference in the size of her lips.
So, she finally admitted to having a ‘little bit of filler.’ According to The U.S. Sun, Chelsea even showed herself at a filler touch-up appointment on her Instagram Story in November 2022.
But these days, Chelsea’s lips are starting to look completely unnatural. She’s talked about wanting them to be a little plumper without looking too crazy, but she’s definitely gone too far. She’s had so much filler added to them that they look seriously unbelievable.
Now, Chelsea’s top lip curls up a lot at the corners of her mouth. It looks like there’s an extra fold of skin on the outside corners that was never there before.
Many people believe she’s also had filler injected into other areas of her face. The upper part of Chelsea’s cheekbones has recently started to appear fuller than ever. Some users speculated that she might have had a cheek implant procedure, but it could be just the result of too much filler.
The same can be said for Chelsea’s chin and jaw, which have been constantly morphing over the last few years. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, she revealed that she had recently started getting Botox in her jaw. The reason why was truly bizarre.
Chelsea explained that whenever she was feeling stressed or anxious, she would clench her teeth. Apparently, when she was getting her regular touch-ups, the injector suggested getting Botox in her jaw to help her clench her teeth less.
Fans Suspect That Chelsea May Have Undergone Surgery
But there’s another facial feature of Chelsea’s that seems to look quite a bit different than it used to. Many people have speculated that she’s either had a surgical nose job or a Botox nose job because the tip of her nose appears smaller and the bridge looks narrower.
She also used to have more hooded eyes, but now they look like they’ve undergone an unreal transformation. Now, the space between Chelsea’s eyelids and brow bone appears much larger, and her eyes look more open.
Some people suspected that she might have had a blepharoplasty or surgery to remove extra skin from her eyelids. But she may have had a much simpler and less invasive procedure.

Chelsea might have had a Botox brow lift, which could achieve basically the same results as a blepharoplasty. Considering all the other places on her face she’s injected with Botox, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she’d added her upper eye and brow areas to the list.
Chelsea may not be able to tell how drastically her appearance has transformed solely from Botox and fillers. But even just getting regular upkeep injections done frequently over the years can cause so many unexpected facial changes.
Chelsea Likely Has “Filler Fatigue”
According to an article by HuffPost, ‘filler fatigue’ happens when a person has had so much filler injected that it stretches their facial tissue over time. Michelle Yagoda, a plastic surgeon based in New York, told the outlet that even if someone gets their filler dissolved professionally, the damage has probably already been done.
She explained that every time someone gets filler injected, that area underneath the skin increases in size. Eventually, a big pocket is created. That pocket requires even more filler injected into it just to give the typical desired effect.
But what happens when someone with filler fatigue continues to get more injections over time is honestly insane. Michelle added that sometimes people will try to inflate those pockets with so much extra filler that it results in their faces looking super wide and disproportionate.

When they attempt to balance out their facial features by getting more filler in other areas, it just leads to the same cycle of overfilling. That could explain why Chelsea’s cheeks are starting to appear wider, and her cheekbones have been looking so much more pronounced. It doesn’t help that her teeth also appear whiter and larger than ever, which indicates that she could have gotten veneers.
But it’s not just Chelsea’s face that’s changed a crazy amount over the years. A lot of social media users have speculated that Chelsea has either had a tummy tuck or liposuction.
There’s no denying that her strict diet and extreme exercise regimen have helped her stay in shape. But not everyone is convinced that she’s only taken the natural route to get so fit and toned.
Chelsea Rarely Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors
As weird as it sounds, many people on Teen Mom Reddit forums have pointed out that Chelsea’s belly button has changed so much over time. She used to have a normal-looking belly button, but now it appears as a very small dent on her abdomen.
But that’s not all.
About a year and a half ago, Chelsea’s Instagram followers noticed something crazy. Despite her intense workout routine and her thin frame, her chest suddenly appeared to be much larger than before.
According to The U.S. Sun, Chelsea had been promoting some new clothes from her collaboration with Lauriebelles in photos that she shared on her Instagram Story. The tops she had on were very form-fitting, which made it easy to see that her chest looked much different. Many people began to suspect that Chelsea had recently had work done to enhance the size of her chest.
She rarely addresses any plastic surgery rumors about herself. As of a couple of years ago, she was still denying that she’d ever had any cosmetic procedures done other than Botox and fillers.
Chelsea has been open about the facial treatments that she regularly gets, like micro peels and Broadband Light treatments. Considering how much her face has changed, it’s definitely possible that she’s secretly had some other procedures done.
Even if Chelsea is sticking to only Botox and fillers, she may want to be careful about not overdoing it. Based on how wide and down-turned parts of her face look, she might be dealing with filler fatigue.
So, instead of continuing to overfill her face, Chelsea may need to get some of her fillers professionally dissolved. Otherwise, she’s going to end up looking even more unrecognizable than she already does.
