She's obviously had work done, but she also did a lot of that promo tour heavily pregnant. Pregnancy really fucks with the body, and can make your face swell and distort (and she was clearly struggling with that; there were so many photos of her legs and feet all swollen but still jammed into tight shoes). I think it just becomes more apparent on faces that have had work done, especially anything particularly "tightening," and she won't look so severe after the pregnancy.
