Injury to her face
The “Before He Cheats” singer revealed that she had a nasty fall in November 2017 while walking her dogs near her Nashville home and was rushed to the hospital at the time for her injuries.
Revealing to her exclusive fan club members at the end of 2017, Carrie listed the extent of the damage: “In addition to breaking my wrist, I somehow managed to injure my face as well. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but when I came out of surgery the night of my fall, the doctor told [her husband] that he had put between 40 and 50 stitches in.”

Fans think Carrie has had plastic surgery
The fall caused her to shy away from the spotlight for a few months while she recovered, with the American Idol alum not even able to use her angelic voice due to the extensive stitches both on her face and inside her mouth.
Speaking to Today host Hoda Kotb at the time, Carrie disclosed her fears after her accident: “In the beginning, I didn’t know how things were going to end up. It just wasn’t pretty… I have a dedicated team of professionals who can spackle and paint and paste.”
This accident caused fans to speculate that she had gotten plastic surgery to try and correct her face post-stitches.

Has Carrie had plastic surgery?
“Carrie Underwood looks great and whilst we don’t know if she has had any treatments to enhance her looks, it looks as though she may have chosen some anti-aging and natural enhancement procedures to maintain her youthful look gracefully” said Dr. Sabina.
The doctor speculated that she may have had “anti-wrinkle injections”, “collagen synthesis treatments”, and “dermal filler”, among other less invasive treatments like laser therapy.

Experts believe Carrie may have had some work
Carrie denied going under the knife in an interview with Redbook in August 2018, blaming the tabloids for stirring up gossip.
“It’s a little sad, because the truth is just as interesting…I wish I’d gotten some awesome plastic surgery to make this [scar] look better. But I try not to worry too much about it. My mom will be like, “Did you see they are saying this about you?” And I’ll be like, “Mama, I don’t care. I’m just trying to raise my son and live my life.””

While it’s unclear whether she has undergone plastic surgery, the singer is still at the top of her game after just wrapping up a Las Vegas residency at Resorts World and is set to take her Reflection Tour on the road in the upcoming months.
