In the wake of her star-studded June 27 wedding to Jeff Bezos in Venice, Lauren Sánchez has firmly transitioned into high society. But the public response has been polarizing. Many praised the event’s glamour and intimate feel at iconic venues in the Venetian Arsenal. And over 200 A‑list guests attended. However, critics denounced it as a display of “tacky” extravagance that spotlighted wealth over substance. Meanwhile, Sánchez’s fractured relationship with former friend and yoga instructor Alanna Zabel returned to the spotlight when Zabel filed a lawsuit ahead of the wedding. And Zabel previously commented on Sánchez’s alleged plastic surgery.

Lauren Sánchez’s former friend, Alanna Zabel, claims the new Mrs. Bezos had 6 breast augmentations

Lauren Sánchez’s rise to global prominence hasn’t come without controversy. And one of the most personal rifts resurfaced in a lawsuit from her former friend, yoga instructor Alanna Zabel. Once close confidantes in Los Angeles’ wellness and media circles, the two women reportedly bonded over creative projects and spiritual growth. But their friendship abruptly unraveled in the late 2000s. In 2024, Zabel filed a lawsuit accusing Sánchez of stealing the concept for a children’s book they allegedly discussed together and using elements of Zabel’s life in her own unpublished work. The legal filing also claims Sánchez “ghosted” her after years of collaboration and personal trust.

According to the Irish Star, Zabel has a lot of damning things to say about Sánchez. After Sánchez’s outfit from President Donald Trump’s inauguration was ridiculed online, Zabel took to a blog to discuss Sánchez’s alleged plastic surgery.

“I have been receiving tons of messages about Lauren Sanchez’s tatas in the last few days since the presidential inauguration, so I’m finally going to spill a few beans — not all of them, but a few,” Zabel allegedly posted at the time.

“When I first met Lauren, it was obvious to me, as to everyone else, that her boobs are not real,” Zabel continued, noting that Sánchez denied getting breast augmentations.

“A year later, as we had become closer, she finally admitted that she had breast implants, because she was planning to get them redone for the sixth time,” Zabel alleged, adding that Sánchez once claimed she utilizes “full body camouflage makeup” before getting intimate.

Lauren Sánchez hasn’t stepped forward to address rumors surrounding plastic surgery. However, plastic surgeons have noticed her changing look.

In April 2025, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen told DailyMail.com that it looked as if the new Mrs. Bezos had injectables done. “With the neck, it gets thinner; you can see it loses fat and sags a bit, but this doesn’t happen with other areas,” Katzen said. “So, I think she had something injected into her face — either filler, fat, or cheek implants.”

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Smita Ramanadham noticed that Sánchez appeared to have Botox or fillers around her eyes and eyebrows. “In that case, that does need to be done every three to four months,” Ramanadham said. “That’s typically the duration of Botox. So, that’s something that could have been done between [January] and now.”

Several other plastic surgeons believe Mrs. Bezos has had lip fillers, a facelift, and a rhinoplasty

In 2023, several other plastic surgeons weighed in on Lauren Sánchez’s changing look. “Facelift expert” Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich told Page Six that Sánchez most likely had a facelift to “prevent the sagging of the facial tissue and maintain youthful neck contour.” And Dr. Ramtin Kassir said Sánchez’s “attached earlobe” is a dead giveaway that a facelift occurred.

Other surgeons suggested that Sánchez could’ve had plastic surgery done on her nose. Alternatively, she might’ve opted for filler to give her nose a slimmer appearance.

Pamela Weinberger, founding injector at Plump Cosmetics, believes Sánchez received lip filler. Weinberger suggested Sánchez should dissolve the filler and get it redone, as the filler appeared to migrate.
