I don’t think she’s had anything done. My kids used to watch The Amanda Show, and even when she was young, she seemed to have full cheeks. I think she just filled out more as her face matured.

Comment by Katy — December 10, 2008 at 10:21 am

Or maybe she just had her wisdom teeth out.

Comment by mytwocents — December 10, 2008 at 12:04 pm

My cheeks looked like that after some dental surgery years ago. She looks more swollen than “full-cheeked” to me.

Comment by Linda — December 10, 2008 at 12:11 pm

I also have always thought she has chubby cheeks. If anything, it looks to me that as she has aged, her cheeks have slimmed out a bit. I’ve always agreed with awful plastic surgery, but today, I can’t.

i agree with the other poster, amanda bynes always had very full cheeks… she looks the same to me

Comment by wendy — December 11, 2008 at 12:32 am

She’s always had full & very cute cheeks. you need to just watch “what i like about you” to see it.
it’s nice to see a young actress without an overly thin face !

Comment by wendy — December 11, 2008 at 12:33 am

ps, i forgot to say, i love your website ! it’s my favorite !

Comment by Nicole — December 11, 2008 at 9:40 am

I never understand why people get cheek implants. I rather not make my face appear fuller. Her cheeks do appear bigger..maybe she did get them.

Comment by Kourtney — December 11, 2008 at 3:05 pm

Maybe it’s birth control. Doubt she had anything surgically done..

Comment by jennifer — December 11, 2008 at 7:17 pm

Her cheeks have always been big…jeesh. The better story here would be why her eyes are so dialated…

Comment by Melissa — December 11, 2008 at 8:22 pm

Maybe her wisdom teeth are coming in? My face swelled up like that when my top wsidoms came through.

Comment by Amy — December 12, 2008 at 3:26 pm

Um… she’s always had full cheeks. I hate her.

Comment by Amy — December 12, 2008 at 3:27 pm

In fact, in that picture, her cheeks actually look smaller than usual.

Comment by IKnowAll — December 12, 2008 at 8:12 pm

Clearly bulimic.

Comment by Arctic Monkey — December 14, 2008 at 3:21 am

About the bulimia-thing. I’ve been struggling with it for the last ten years, and have never experienced swollen cheeks because of it..

Comment by Kitty — December 16, 2008 at 7:40 pm

My money is on dental surgery – she’s at that age where it’s common to have your wisdom teeth removed, and that type of swelling is typical after widsom tooth extraction, especially if they were impacted. Not every change in somone’s appearance is the result of plastic surgery!

Comment by OJsa Bum — December 17, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Foget the cheeks. In a recent magazine cover, she looked to be sporting a new bolt-on rack.

Comment by OJsa Bum — December 17, 2008 at 2:26 pm

She’s chanelling Tara Reid?

Comment by Jess — December 20, 2008 at 7:26 pm

she’s always had huge cheeks on a round face

Comment by hurleygurlie2388 — December 23, 2008 at 12:41 am

her cheeks have always been like that. always.

Comment by hurleygurlie2388 — December 23, 2008 at 12:45 am

RE:Comment by jennifer — December 11, 2008 at 7:17 pm
if you look close it looks like the picture was taken somewhere dark. that’s probably why her eyes are dialated… why do people always have to assume the worst?! just because she’s not snorting coke or getting dui’s… maybe she’s actually a smart girl? : P

Comment by Jessica — December 25, 2008 at 5:47 am

Maybe she has to take prednisone for some condition? I know it makes your face fatter.

Comment by Alyssa — January 8, 2009 at 1:19 pm

she’s always had the ‘cherub’ face. Good when you’re a child actor, not so good if you’re trying to get seriious roles

Comment by Misty — January 9, 2009 at 10:32 pm

Maybe she had her wisdom teeth removed. My cheeks were huge the next few days after they yanked mine out. Love your site, by the way.

Comment by mah — January 17, 2009 at 10:22 pm

I believe her cheeks are bigger, as well as her boobs. Let’s face it, she’s finally gained some weight and has curves now, so bulimia can be ruled out. She’s definitely not as thin as she used to be,but that’s great, I hate stick thin actresses.

Comment by Heather — February 1, 2009 at 10:33 pm

Well I had to be oral steroids because I have an autoimmune disorder and my cheeks were just as big if not bigger! I looked like a chimpmunk. Maybe she has to be on a small dose of steroids for a medical condition, which gives you that moon face. Some people are on steroids for their entire life.

Comment by Amanda — February 8, 2009 at 11:31 am

I’m going to be next of many to say that her cheeks have always been full. I used to watch her as a young teen and have watched her movies (always been a fan) and can see no difference here. If anything, like a few others have stated, her face has filled out more as she’s matured.

Comment by Beckie — February 12, 2009 at 1:59 pm

love your site , but you’re wrong on this one . look back to her oldest tv appearances and pictures , she has alllllways had bigger cheeks , no work done there .

Comment by Jay — February 15, 2009 at 6:45 pm

She looks perfectly fine (except for the red-eye from the flash)

Comment by an — February 27, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Gimme a frickin’ break! EVERYBODY in Ho-llywood doesn’t get (or need) plastic surgery. Amanda Bynes looks perfectly fine and YOUTHFULl. Hell, how old is she–15? I’d like to see how the owner of this site looks (probably NEEDS plastic surgery).

Comment by Ella — March 9, 2009 at 5:54 am

She just has naturally full cheeks. There is so much botched plastic surgery in Hollywood – why do you have to spin stories about blooming rosy-cheeked twenty-somethings just because they’re outside the realm of what is considered ‘normal’?

Comment by Truth — March 17, 2009 at 10:14 pm

Ella, compare pictures. You are crazy. There is something different about here and her cheeks. Get real.

Comment by Pam — March 20, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I don’t think it’s plastic surgery but something is not quite right. Her cheeks were prominent but not like that, it looks wrong. I saw her on a magazine cover recently and thought something was wrong. It reminds me of how the little girl in the movie Poltergeist looked when she got sick. I think she is on some kind of medication.

Comment by shalty — March 22, 2009 at 11:02 am

I don’t know about her cheeks, but check out her lips in recent photos.

Comment by hautlipz — June 13, 2009 at 8:22 am

People born with Type I diabetes can be quite thin with chubby cheeks. Actress Dana Hill (of European Vacation fame) suffered from diabetes and had a very thin body with a chubby face. I don’t think many people knew she had the disease until she died from it at age 32. Is it possible that Amanda Bynes also has diabetes?

Comment by ek — July 12, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I think it’s either because of the bulimia, or weight gain. Definitely natural cheeks though

Comment by Tori — July 16, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Amandas cheeks have always been like that…. i used to watch the Amanda show all of the time!

Comment by Javah — December 30, 2009 at 9:10 pm

She is a lovely girl with full cheeks. Stop looking for things that aren’t there.

Comment by Keith — January 4, 2010 at 9:27 pm

I just saw the cover of Cosmo this month at the newstand and I almost didn’t recognize her. Her cheeks are huge now and it looks unnatural.

Comment by Rose — January 31, 2010 at 4:00 pm

I was wondering why she looked so different to me lately! I saw her on the cover of Cosmopolitan a few months back after watching Hairspray and noticed that she looked very different. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it’s definitely the cheeks. Maybe it’s a dental surgery. I have to get one in a little over a year and I was told that it’ll take about a month or more for the swelling to go down completely.
