i can say she had her eye lids, eye bags, and lips done. i'm sure she does botox too. her face looks fuller at times. but when you're tired, your eyes sink in and they look more hollow, so yea she may have her days where she looks odd.

as for her nose. WTH WHY THIS AGAIN? i know she isn't 100% natural, heck no. but when it comes to her nose, folks, I REALLY DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE in all the years i've followed her since 1999. everything else, yes, but the nose, i never noticed anything changing about it. *facepalm* y'all just cray cray or what?

[ayu-suits]

i think her nose didn't changed at all. her skin got thinner esp on the cheek area, well because of her age i think. lips got fuller but everything can be done in photoshop and makeup and it varies depending on the artist who will do the makeup and edit the photos. it happens to me most of the time so I only trust 1 makeup artist and 1 photographer so my face wont look different on photos.

Unfortunately, her large eyes in most photos taken for magazines/promotion are essentially the main reason why people think she has had so much surgery. The thing is... when would she have had time to do this? In her heyday, she had like no time to heal!

Well, I know at the end of the day she looks like a Japanese woman, what else would she look like? What I was trying to say was that from cover to cover she often looks like a different person. In fact, she never looks like anything but an Japanese woman to me, just a different Japanese woman each time. I was saying maybe her constantly different appearance was what led people to think she's had something done, but I just think that is was photoshop/editing. Although, I do think she's at least had fillers done, like on her lips. Those don't last, though.

I still don't get why her facial features are still under scrutiny. If you look at her earlier pictures, she's always had big eyes and a wide facial structure. After 15 years in the industry, it's obvious she used the lip plumping gloss or botox maybe. But makeup can do WONDERS for the face, even on YouTube people literally transform with the use of makeup, eyelashes, and contacts. The most "surgery" I seen her get was her teeth fixed (we all want that perfect smile ).

But seriously, like many of you said Ayu had one of the most demanding schedules during her career, especially during her peak. She was known to pass out from exhaustion, performing live sick, and even went as far to hold off IMPORTANT MEDICAL situations (ex. her ear) so she wouldn't have to cancel a performance. So please elaborate on how she could put off a few weeks for her nose or whatever plastic surgery that needs extensive healing time when she wouldn't put time off for her well being?

(But then again, I don't live her life but I just wanted to put my two cents in )

here you go xD
look at the left eye.
and to the big eyes comment, look at the creencaps her eyes aren't relly that big...

Spoiler:

she might have some filling to the lips but it's also that stupid "line a milimeter over the natural lip line to make them fuller"

you can even see that in those screencaps up there...lol

[mizuki-7]

Wow it's quite amazing the difference ! like that o_O

[channy]

Just because gossip magazines are promoting "botox" and the like doesn't necessarily mean Ayu and other singer make use of such options. Perhaps she has a herpes or an allergic reaction around her lips every now and then which possibly leads to fancy and fuller looking lips?

Make-up does wonders, especially when it comes to eyes. If you haven't seen those before-and-after photos, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWmOS6zg2VQ

And of course the occasional Photoshop Cream gives the illusion of surgery.

Also a lot of girls just Naturally age beautifully.

[BlackSilence]

Asia is especially crazy when it comes to transforming faces with make-up, they're masters pretty much, with ll the naturally looking false lashes, lenses, eyelid glue and bb creams and god knows what else, not to mention they mastered the art of shadows on the faces, to create whatever shape they want, and the WIGS! oh, the wigs. I have one of them and people who saw pic with it were like "you have nice hair" and i was like "that's a wig lol" you can hardly see a difference from real hair. I personally think it's kind of admirable that they are quite creative tho on the other hand it might be a bit too much. But i've seen very nice natural looking make-up versions with fake stuff, and i gotta say i usually love them xD

And then they all laughed and agreed. Everyone in Japan "knows" she has done plastic. And a lot of it

Yeah is obvious.

Tried to lurk as best as I could but I'll contribute.

Eyes? No. Thats illusion of a very professional make up job. Video some tutorials and you will see females turn their naturaly thin eyes into huge puffy looking glowing eyes.

Teeth? Yes. Its just obvious

Breasts? Only when she does that stupid Walcoal fake bra campaign promotion which I dont agree with. Whats the point really?

Nose? I dont care about her nose. If yes than yes, if no than no.

Rest? Her wardrobe and style changes alot. MS Paint can do unfair amounts of wonders.

I've been listening to Ayumi squeak my ears off for a very long time now I hope to for the rest of my life. Her trance remixes are just that good

[KillTime111]

.. It`s pretty much known that many japanese and korean artists get some sort of plastic surgery.. Personally, I don`t look at ayu any differently if she did or didn`t.. However,.. my opinion is that she had her eyes done, and slightly thinned the bridge of her nose done somewhere after the mid 2000s... I wouldn`t be surprised if she had a small lip injection either, but really, if she did get all this done, I think it was done very well and gradual..

[ayu-fan]

She had tons of activities started at 1999, i wonder how she managed to do a plastic surgery?

And she already have a huge eyes and 'surgery' nose back at 1998 (just look at poker face PV)

[yizhihenanjing]

who cares ? she s beautiful and looks so natural. So many stars have done plastic surgery and looked alike or not unique at all. Ayu s beautiful not just because of her appearance, that s the reason.

Because that's how you sell bras. Bigger boobs are considered sexier by most people, and girls will be more likely to buy a bra that promises bigger boobs. Ayu is friends with a lingerie designer. Simple

Very very nice thought even i like those Big bbs. I have seen girls trying to express them more attractive by just looking more heavy

[ayu-butterfly]

I think she had a nose job, her nose changed a lot over from the start to now. But actually, if she did, I'd like the doc number, cause her nose is perfect. I would also like to do my teeth where she did hers, just saying...

[AyuWorld]

actually i have to say this finally, that now i sometimes stare at her nose and compare to her early days pics, and i think she had job done with it lol,maybe like someone said earlier, she slightly thinned the bridge of her nose, really her nose looked perfect and pointy now especially when look at it from the side angel, hihi

I just had to post this here
