She is universally considered one of Hollywood’s most beautiful actresses, but Cameron Diaz was almost unrecognisable stepping out on the set of her new movie last week. With a swollen face, the 38-year-old star’s famous cherry grin and fabulous cheekbones were nowhere to be seen.

Insiders say that like most celebs she’s determined to stay looking young and sexy, but her strangely plump face suggests she’s fallen victim to the ‘pillow face’ look, a cosmetic procedure popular with the Hollywood A-List, where fillers are used to give the appearance of high cheekbones. 

A source said: ‘’ Her face looked very different. Cameron usually has such a glow about her and such a gorgeous big smile. But on set her face looked very bloated and swollen and her cheeks looked much more pronounced.’’ 

Dermal filler:

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi, Facial Plastic and Laser Surgeon from London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic, explained: ‘’In my opinion, based on experience and those pictures, it looks as if Cameron underwent a dermal filler injected into the cheeks – most likely hyaluronic acid, which is naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps add volume and hydration.’’ 

Dermal Filler:

So why does it look as though her face has somewhat sagged? ‘’In my view it wasn’t injected high enough on her cheekbones,’’ says Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi. ‘’It looks as if her face has slightly dropped and it has deepened her nasolabial fold [the two creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth].

It’s likely they put too much in.’’Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi has seen similar case where fillers have been injected too low in the cheeks. He added: ‘’This is very common treatment , but in this instance it look as if they haven’t injected the acid correctly , making her face look puffy and actually older than she looked before.

This is one of the unfortunate side effects when you put large amount of hyaluronic acid or dermal filler in the wrong part of face. Thankfully, the effect shouldn’t last too long – her face should be back to normal within a few months.’’ The treatment costs up to £800 in the UK, depending on the type of filler used.

It’s usually a one-off session, lasting no more than 30 minutes, giving instant results with no scars or bandages. If Cameron has indeed had the procedure, it’s rare for patients face to seemingly ‘drop’.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi says if the treatment was done properly, patients can go back to work straight after. Thankfully, if Cameron wanted to reverse the procedure, Dr Al-Ayoubi says it’s possible: ‘’If Cameron came to my clinic, I would firstly try to sort out the prominence of her cheeks,’’ he says. 

‘’I’d strongly recommend a long-lasting, clinically proven non-invasive stimulating injectable treatment designed to smooth out and soften soften lines and wrinkles, restore facial volume and contour the face in a natural way. Othervise fillers like the type she seems to have had in her cheeks would need to be regularly maintained every few months.’’

Collagen Stimulation:

Cameron’s friends say they support any procedure she may want, saying she is under huge pressure to appear youthful and is much more afraid of ageing than she lets on. ‘’Believe me, Cameron knows her time as a sexy young thing in Hollywood is ticking,’’ reveals a source.

‘’Her work is based on looks. Yes, she’s a great actress, but roles are few and far between for older-looking woman. We tell her there’s no shame in using this stuff to look your best. It’s really a job requirement for her. She has to do whatever it takes to stay looking young and stunning for as long as she can.”
