Zac Efron, once a teen heartthrob, has faced rumors of plastic surgery due to changes in his appearance, especially during his 2023 press tour for A Family Affair. Viewers speculated about his different-looking face, with some pointing to his jawline. However, fans of Efron are aware that the actor suffered a serious accident in 2013 when he slipped at home, causing a shattered jaw that required it to be wired shut. Despite the injury being well-known, rumors about plastic surgery persist. Efron addressed these speculations in a 2022 interview, explaining that his wider jaw is a result of physical therapy following his injury. He noted that the muscles in his jaw, particularly the masseters, grew larger to compensate for the injury, and he continues therapy to correct this. Efron has expressed that the rumors and online comments don’t bother him.
