Lauren Sanchez’s throwback picture before plastic surgery reveals drastic transformation over the years

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lauren Sanchez, often in the spotlight due to her relationship with Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, has undergone a striking transformation over the years. A throwback photo from 2002 has fans doing a double-take.

While Sanchez is best known for her high-profile relationship and occasional acting roles, she has also undergone several cosmetic procedures that have played a role in shaping her glamorous persona, as reported by The List.

Lauren Sanchez' stunning transformation over the years

A photo from October 2002, when Lauren Sanchez was 32, shows a noticeably different look compared to an image from October 2024, where at 54, she appears significantly transformed.

Experts, including plastic surgeon Dr Gary Linkov, estimate that Sanchez has spent a significant amount on plastic surgery, potentially totaling around $390,000.

This includes procedures that have subtly reshaped her face, helping to maintain her youthful appearance over the course of two decades.

One of the most noticeable changes is in Sanchez's lips, especially her top lip, which appears fuller and more defined, possibly due to dermal fillers. Her cheekbones are also more prominent, potentially the result of cheek implants or buccal fat removal, a procedure that removes fat from the lower cheek area to enhance facial definition.

Despite the passage of years, Sanchez's complexion remains remarkably smooth, with minimal signs of aging like wrinkles or sagging, sparking speculation that she may have had a facelift to maintain tight, youthful skin.

While genetics likely play a part, it's evident that Sanchez has made significant efforts to preserve her striking appearance, with undeniable results.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez rumored to marry in Italy on $500 million yacht

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are reportedly preparing to take the next big step in their relationship, with sources hinting that the couple could tie the knot in a lavish ceremony aboard Bezos’ $500 million yacht in Italy.

According to a source, the pair might exchange vows sometime in the spring or summer of 2025, adding that the ceremony is likely to take place on Bezos’ luxury yacht, Koru, the world’s largest sailing yacht at 417 feet. The boat, valued at an estimated $500 million, even features a striking wooden sculpture of Sanchez on its prow.

The rumors gained traction after a dinner party hosted by Bezos over the holidays. At the gathering, which took place at the exclusive Matsuhisa sushi restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, several female guests were overheard discussing the possibility of a wedding in Italy.

The source confirmed, "It will involve the boat" and suggested the event could take place in the spring or summer of this year.

The high-profile guest list at the dinner included Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Kevin Costner, Australian billionaire James Packer, and film producer Brian Grazer and his wife, and Veronica Smiley.

This latest speculation comes just a month after rumors circulated that Bezos and Sanchez would wed in Aspen right after Christmas. In November, Sanchez dropped hints about the wedding, revealing that she had already picked out her dress.

Appearing on the 'Today' show, she shared her excitement, saying, "I’m very excited about it," and admitting, "I have a Pinterest. I’m just like every other bride."

Despite the growing buzz, Bezos took to his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to quickly deny the marriage rumors, claiming, "None of this is true."

He also pointed out how unreliable some reports can be, saying, “He old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more relevant today. Lies can travel around the world before the truth has a chance to put on its shoes.” He then warned his followers, “Be careful and don’t be gullible.”

Rumors about Bezos and Sanchez’s romance first started swirling in 2018. Then, in May 2023, he proposed to his beautiful girlfriend while they were aboard his super yacht.
