Liam Payne surprised fans when he rocked a drastically different look on Thursday.
The One Direction star, 29, was supporting his former bandmate Louis Tomlinson at the premiere of his new movie All Of That Voices when he stunned with his appearance on the red carpet.
Fans flocked to Twitter to ask what had happened, with many asking if she had had buccal fat removal.
The rapidly growing trend among celebrities and social media personalities trims the fat pads on the inside of a person’s cheek, resulting in a more angular face.
Surprised fans wrote: ‘Liam Payne has had a full job, please respect him’; ‘Liam Payne’s Mouth Fat Removal Is Sending Me To The Royal Moon’; ‘I still can’t believe Liam Payne got his mouth fat removed.’

Surgery? Fans flocked to Twitter to ask what had happened, with many asking if she had had buccal fat removal.
Speaking to MailOnline, cosmetic physician Dr Mo Hamed weighed in on what he thought Liam could have done, saying the singer looked “very good”.
Dr. Mo Hamed, who runs the Dr. Motox aesthetic clinic, speculated: “It looks like she may have had some filler in her jawline to give her a chiseled and contoured side profile.”
‘This is becoming a very popular treatment at my clinic, where men get jawline fillers to masculinize their faces.
“A wider, more chiseled jawline is associated with stronger masculine features.”
MailOnline has contacted Liam’s representatives for comment.
Speaking in 2021, Liam revealed that he was left bloated after going through a “wild booze and pills phase”.
Liam, who said he struggled to stay sober on tour, revealed: “There were some pictures of me on a boat and I was all swollen up and I call it my pill and booze face.”
‘My face was 10 times bigger than it is now. The problem was, the best way to make sure was to lock ourselves in our rooms, and what’s in the room? A mini bar.

‘So I had a party for one that seemed to go on for years. It was crazy, but the only way to get the frustration out.’
Liam went on to reveal that he fell back into bad habits during lockdown and became dependent on alcohol, which led to him gaining weight.
Detailing the impact it had on her waistline, she continued: “I gained a lot of weight, ate poorly, and described it as a period of bulking up: ‘I’m doing it for a movie part! Everything is alright!”
That is the best excuse if someone asks you if you have gained weight. Let’s say it’s for a role, to be released in 2022.
‘I gained a lot of weight. Which got me, I did a TV performance with the BAFTAs and was disappointed. I didn’t look like I wanted to look.
You yourself know how you feel about it. They obviously say the camera adds ten pounds and it definitely did. I realized that I have been carried away by this.
After the country came out of lockdown, Liam worked hard on his physique, got back in the gym and cut back on his alcohol consumption.
He’s been working hard on his solo career, but he showed he hasn’t forgotten his roots by supporting Louis’ new movie.
He seemed in good spirits when he attended the premiere with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, with the pair making a perfect match.
Even though One Direction broke up in 2016, Liam and Louis have maintained a close friendship over the years.
While Liam admitted to not being very close to Louis while in the band, he did share in 2022 that Louis was his “best friend now.”
But sparking controversy while chatting with Logan Paul on his podcast, he also hinted that his solo music had performed better than that of his bandmates.

Defending his former bandmate after the podcast episode, Louis went on to describe interviews as “challenging.”
‘All I’ll say about that is… which one of those pesky Paul brothers was it? [Logan Paul] I knew exactly what I was doing, the buttons I was pressing, and that’s what I took away from it,” he explained.
All Of That Voices hits theaters around the world starting March 22, and the film’s synopsis shares that the film “takes a refreshing, raw and real look at Louis Tomlinson’s musical journey.”
Sharing never-before-seen home movie footage and behind-the-scenes access, you’ll get a glimpse into his life after the band.
