Miley Cyrus's sister Noah, 25, sparks fresh plastic surgery speculation with dramatic new look
Noah Cyrus stepped out in New York City on Tuesday for an appearance at SiriusXM Studios, where she promoted her latest album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me.
But alongside buzz about her new music, the 25-year-old singer also drew renewed attention over ongoing speculation regarding her evolving appearance.
As she continues her press tour, fans and online commentators have reignited conversations about whether the Grammy-nominated artist has quietly undergone cosmetic surgery.
In response to the artist's dramatic new look, some social media users have theorized that her slimmer nose bridge, more defined tip, fuller lips and enhanced cheek contours could be the result of more than just good makeup.
While Cyrus has not publicly addressed the rumors, her noticeably more sculpted facial features have become a frequent topic of debate across pop culture forums and celebrity commentary accounts.
In a widely-viewed 2024 TikTok video, plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie offered his professional observations on Cyrus's changing looks.
He suggested that her face had taken on what he described as 'verging on the alien look,' due to her overfilled cheeks and more prominent chin.
Dr. Motykie suggested that scaling back on her alleged enhancements might help restore balance and a more natural aesthetic.
It's also worth noting that changes in appearance can also result from makeup techniques, lighting, aging or even natural facial development.
Other factors for Noah, specifically, include how she experiments with different hair colors and even bleached her eyebrows last year.
Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright, told exclusively that she doesn't 'see obvious signs of major structural work like rhinoplasty' (from surgical perspective).
'Noah appears to have the same aquiline nasal bridge,' Dr. Prado-Wright stated. 'What fans are picking up on is likely the result of styling shifts: darker hair, fuller lips, and contoured makeup dramatically change the perception of her features.'
The cosmetic surgeon noted that Noah's 'current look mirrors the 'Instagram face' aesthetic.'
'She has plump lips, sculpted cheeks, fox-eye liner, which is heavily influenced by non-invasive treatments like filler and strategic Botox placement. She's got a totally different vibe without going under the knife,' Dr. Prado-Wright concluded.
Daily Mail has reached out to Noah's representatives for comment, but they have not yet responded.

In 2020, Noah got vulnerable about growing up in the spotlight.
'I struggle with depression and anxiety, and I have since I was very young. And I also have suffered from body and face dysmorphia,' she revealed to NPR.
She continued: 'I just could not look in a mirror and my eyes would water and I would cry and I'd tell my mom how much I hate myself and how ugly I feel and how I just feel like this speck in the universe that didn't matter and that the universe didn't care to hear from me.'
The July singer, who kicked off her acting career at age two with a recurring role on Doc, explained that she was convinced nobody cared what she had to say.
'It's hard because a lot of people around me tell me not to let the public and their view weigh in on my life,' Noah told listeners. 'Obviously I am so blessed, the family that I live. As many pros as that comes with, that the public sees, there's a lot of cons that come with that.'
The star went on to confess that it 'hurt' her being famous for being 'Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter and Miley Cyrus' little sister.'
'I felt as if I lost my own identity. After a certain amount of time that makes you feel like nobody knows who you are, and that makes you feel like no one cares about you or your identity,' she clarified.
In 2021, Noah told her Instagram followers that watching American Horror Story helped her during her mental health struggles.
'I spent my years from 13-17 kinda being the kid that locked herself away in her dark room cause being out in the world made me feel so lost and so insecure,' she revealed. 'My body dysmorphia and depression was just eating away at my soul. it was so much pain for such a little body.'
The performer added: 'But something about the show gave me comfort.. there was something else as painful and f**ked up out there as i felt on the inside.'
Growing up, Noah also admitted she felt 'stripped her of her own identity' living in the shadow of her older sister Miley, who is considered one of the biggest stars of her generation.
Noah previously discussed aging in the public eye while appearing on The Rebecca Judd Show in 2020.
'They were already so terrible to me on the Internet about the way I looked and the way that I grew up. And that was just the way that my face that God gave me,' she recalled.
'And I was so sad that people had such terrible things to say about something I had no control of changing. And it just made me feel like so many people... that I learned to hate myself.
While struggling with body dysmorphia, anxiety and depression as a teenager, Noah recalled her boyfriend giving her anti-anxiety medication.
'[He] was the first person that gave me a Xanax, and it became a way for us to bond,' she told Rolling Stone in 2022.
Noah, who was 18 at the time, said she 'wanted to fit in with him' and just 'wanted to be what he wanted and what he thought was cool.'
Ultimately, she said abusing Xanax helped her 'silence things out for a second and numb' her pain.
'It just kind of becomes this dark pit, bottomless pit,' she continued, sharing that her recreational habit morphed into a full-blown addiction that caused her to sleep through the day, wake up disoriented at 8 p.m. and lose track of time, which was only made worse by the pandemic,' she told the outlet.
At her worst, she confessed that she was 'completely nodding off and falling asleep, and unable to keep' her head up while promoting her 2020 The End of Everything EP.
