Nothing gets people talking like a celebrity transformation—and Christina Aguilera's recent aesthetic evolution is no exception. We’ve already unpacked Lindsay Lohan’s glow-up, but now, it’s Xtina’s moment in the spotlight.

To break down what might be behind her refreshed look, we tapped RealSelf-verified, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Barry Weintraub and aesthetic medicine nurse Mercedes Baez. Press play below to hear their expert takes—or keep scrolling for the highlights.

"Very commonly today, people are doing what's called mini facelifts," says Dr. Weintraub in the video interview. He explains that these aren’t one-size-fits-all procedures; they often involve a combination of subtle techniques that, together, create a refreshed and youthful effect. 

"For example, we can pick up the skin in certain places to soften folds, but we can also radiofrequency microneedle the skin to improve texture and quality of the skin,” he continues. “We can tighten the skin from underneath with Attiva, an Italian device that produces heat and tightens collagen under the skin." Combine that with a solid skin-care routine, and you’ve potentially got a recipe for skin a la Aguilera.

Baez adds that celebrities like Aguilera may not just be adding new treatments—they could be refining what’s already there.

“They’re dissolving their fillers, but they’re also applying filler again because the techniques and products have improved," she adds. "We now know where to place filler so it looks more natural. Sometimes, less is more. We’ve also learned to assess the face in motion because we’re speaking and talking, and our face has to look natural while doing it.”
