Christina Haack's Face Transformation Is Wild & Side By Side Pics Prove It
Christina Haack has been an HGTV icon for well over a decade, having gotten her start on the network alongside then-husband Tarek El Moussa when their show "Flip or Flop" premiered in 2013. Since then, Haack has undeniably undergone a stunning transformation. The funny thing about transformations is that they aren't always immediately obvious. After all, if you're seeing someone regularly, you might not pick up on some of the subtle changes right away. However, when you see a photo of them from years prior, those changes become so much more glaring. With that in mind, longtime Christina Haack fans can be forgiven for not even recognizing her in footage from her early HGTV days, where she looks almost unrecognizable, and not just because of her shorter hair.
In December 2024, HGTV shared a throwback YouTube recap of the first episode of "Flip or Flop," which originally aired more than a decade prior. When you take a still frame featuring Haack and compare it to one of her 2025 Instagram posts, it really proves just how wild her face transformation has really been. Compared to how she looked when her career with the network began, Haack now has sharper facial features, not to mention whiter and straighter teeth (with some fans speculating that Haack has veneers). Combine that with her aforementioned changed in hairstyle, and Haack almost looks like an entirely different person than she used to. And while this can partially be attributed to natural aging and lifestyle changes, there may be other factors at play, as well.
Christina Haack has been relatively open about her cosmetic procedures
Christina Haack is one of several HGTV stars who just can't escape plastic surgery rumors. However, while it's unclear if Haack has gotten more substantial plastic surgery on her face, she's been fairly open about the less-intrusive cosmetic procedures she's had done. "Nothing a little Botox can't fix," Haack said of turning 40 during an interview with People in 2023. And while Haack may have made this comment in jest, she was very serious just one year prior, when she shared her negative experience with plastic surgery.
In a 2022 post to Instagram Stories (via Business Insider), Haack revealed that she had suffered a bad reaction to under eye filler, which resulted in her face swelling up. She eventually got the fillers removed, and swore off that particular procedure (though Botox is apparently still on the table). This was also far from the only time Haack came to regret undergoing a cosmetic procedure. Speaking to E! News in early 2023, the "Flip or Flop" star also revealed that she was considering getting her breast implants removed, as she believed that they were to blame for a string of health issues she had experienced.
That being said, during that very same interview, Haack also mentioned some other major lifestyle changes she had made, which could also serve to partially explain her drastic change in appearance. "I'm doing supplement detox and there's a local wellness place nearby where I've been doing hyperbaric chambers and IVs," Haack shared.
