2025

In April 2025, Sánchez drew fresh attention after appearing in a social media video documenting her trip to space, a high-profile milestone that reignited public curiosity about her appearance.

While the moment was meant to celebrate her journey into orbit, it quickly sparked widespread debate online about how her look has changed over the years.

Since then, several medical professionals have weighed in with their opinions on the possible procedures Sánchez may have undergone.

Among them, board-certified plastic surgeon Gary Motykie, M.D., F.A.C.S., offered a detailed breakdown of the visual cues that suggest surgical enhancements.

Dr. Motykie noted that Sánchez, who is now 55, likely had "a breast augmentation, maybe even more than one," citing her athletic build and prominent bust as reasons for that assumption.

He also pointed to signs of facial work, stating, "Her complexion is very smooth, her neck is nice and tight [...]. I don't think it's just olive oil and facial creams."

He suggested she had likely undergone plastic surgery, including an earlier rhinoplasty followed by a possible recent revision.

Further observations included signs of a facelift, particularly a "pixie ear" — a surgical telltale where the earlobe attaches directly to the side of the face, often a result of a facelift.

"She wears her hair down a lot, so there's only some pictures, but we do see that," he explained.

Dr. Motykie also highlighted fullness in the midface and lips, attributing it to possible fat grafting or fillers, along with maintenance procedures such as Botox, microneedling, and facials.

But whether celebrated or criticized, Sánchez's look in 2025 represents a dramatic contrast to her earlier appearance, one that continues to fuel online discourse as viewers scroll through throwback photos.

2024

In 2024, Sánchez continued to make public appearances ahead of her upcoming wedding to Bezos. At nearly 55, she looked polished and glamorous — a consistent extension of the aesthetic she had become known for in recent years.

That same year, she opened up in an interview about her personal journey and wedding plans, sharing that being in her 50s was just the beginning.

2022

In 2022, Sánchez still had her dramatic look. Her facial contours were defined, particularly around the cheekbones and jawline. Her lips appeared plumper than in earlier years, and the area beneath her eyes looked tighter and more lifted.

2013

It was around 2013 that subtle changes in Sánchez's appearance first became noticeable. Her lips looked more voluminous, her cheeks appeared more sculpted, and there was an overall tightened, polished quality to her face that suggested cosmetic enhancements.

Her skin had a smoother texture and a more uniform tone, hinting at professional skincare treatments or early intervention with fillers and Botox.

2007

By 2007, Sánchez's appearance had evolved only slightly from her earlier look. At this point, she still maintained the natural features that initially caught the public's attention — her expressive eyes, full lips, and natural cheekbones remained intact.

The biggest difference was simply time. Her skin appeared a bit more mature, and her overall appearance reflected a few years of aging rather than any dramatic cosmetic changes.

2002

In 2002, Sánchez appeared strikingly different from how she looks today. Her features looked more natural, with softer contours and a visibly different aesthetic than the sharp, stylized appearance she carries in 2025.

Another user bluntly stated, "She was gorgeous. Now she looks like Steven Tyler." Many shared the belief that Sánchez's beauty has diminished over time, calling her transformation "a downgrade" and lamenting, "Such a shame what she has done to herself."

Other commenters said Sánchez looked better and happier in the past, describing her earlier appearance as naturally beautiful.

Several called it sad to see how her looks have changed, suggesting that cosmetic procedures have altered her appearance in ways they find less appealing.
