In another thread on the “Teen Mom” subreddit, a user shared two photos of Chelsea and Cole DeBoer from two different points in time and speculated on the potential plastic surgery she got, writing, “Chelsea looks so different! […] Anyone else think she’s definitely had work? I think it’s obvious.” Another commenter reasoned, “Drooping face because of filler migration.” This typically happens when the filler moves away from where it was injected, but filler migration is not really that common in general.
One potential reason it happens is if too much filler is injected at once. As Jodi LoGerfo, DNP, clarified to InStyle, “In the instances of true filler migration, it would look like a fullness that’s not where it should be.” Another Reddit user agreed that’s what happened with Chelsea. They commented with a drawing comparing overfilled features to non-overfilled features and wrote, “I feel like this needs to be shared because this explains exactly what’s happening to her face.”
Chelsea’s Instagram comments aren’t free from such speculation either. One critic remarked about potential Botox overuse in response to one of the HGTV star’s Instagram posts from March 2024 (seen above). The commenter wondered, “What the f*** is going on around your mouth and nose area? Looks like it sunk in. Way too much Botox. You will be looking like Farrah soon!” (Farrah Abraham is another, albeit far more controversial, former “Teen Mom” personality).
