Few actors have achieved as much as much as Sydney Sweeney has in just a few short years. Her ascension into the pop culture zeitgeist and ranks of the best performers of her generation has solidified her as a symbol. Not just as a skilled self-starter and entrepreneur, but as a beacon of empowerment. Included in the 26-year-old's list of achievements is becoming a bona fide sex symbol. Everything from her star-making role in Euphoria to her well-paid appearance in the Rolling Stone's 2023 music video for "Angry" proves that.
Because of this, for better or for worse, there has been an intense interest in Sweeney's evolving look. While reports of plastic surgery are just rumors at this point, the Madame Web star has been open about the notable effect one moment of physical transformation had on her.
Sydney Sweeney's Physical Transformation Made Her Feel Ostracized
Sydney Sweeney has been open about the bullying she received after she developed breasts at a young age. In fact, Sweeney was one of the first of her peers to go through puberty. During an interview with The Sun, the Euphoria and Madame Web star claimed that she felt "ostracized" because of it. Not only did it gain her a lot of unwanted attention from boys at school, but girls would tease her about it.
The reality is, that Sweeney suffered numerous traumas when she was young. So, this specific one may have been less severe when compared to the financial turmoil her family went through. However, the bullying she faced in high school after puberty has had a lasting impact on her.
According to Cheatsheet, Sweeney claimed that she was targeted because of her breasts.
"I already was getting horribly bullied in school because — I mean, I had big boobs when I was little, and no one else really did."
On top of this, Sweeney was picked on because of her career aspirations. In numerous interviews, the Euphoria star has explained that many residents of her hometown of Spokane, Washington, were 'naysayers". They didn't believe she could make it as an actor. Her family, on the other hand, did. Unfortunately, they briefly went bankrupt while helping Sweeney pursue her goals. This led to her parents' divorce.
Because of the pain of her father leaving and all of the attention Sweeny was receiving because of her body, she started to "act out" with boys. Not unlike her character Cassie Howard does in Euphoria.
"I would run into the arms of guys to try to fill this void.… I was looking for love to replace the emptiness of a home."
In recent years, Sweeney has been open about her struggles with her body image. But she's also spoken about the empowerment she feels when she owns it on screen. While Euphoria has been subjected to numerous scandals regarding its sex scenes, Sydney Sweeney claims she won't stop doing them.
"I have no problems with those scenes, and I won't stop doing them," Sweeney said to The Hollywood Reporter.

Sydney Sweeney's dog lives an outrageously lavish lifestyle that proves the Reality and Euphoria star spares no expense on her furry best friend.
In the same interview, Sweeney claimed that while she doesn't mind if people see her as a sex symbol, she doesn't want to be taken less seriously as an actor. In numerous interviews, Sweeney has compared how the public treats male actors who do NSFW scenes to women who do them; believing the latter gets the sharper end of the stick.
"When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it's completely different," Sweeney said to Cosmo.
Did Sydney Sweeney Get Plastic Surgery?
Like many women in Hollywood, Sydney Sweeney has faced a barrage of comments about her body. Famously, Sweeney broke down on Instagram Live in 2021 after numerous people called her "ugly". On the flip side of the coin, Sweeney received intense backlash for her appearance at the 2022 MTV Movie Awards.
Sweeney was slammed by some extreme feminist groups for being a "threat to body positivity" simply because she wore an outfit that showed off her figure. So, from every angle, Sweeney's body gets criticized.
Of course, Sweeney is also held up as having one of the best bodies in Hollywood by her rather dedicated fanbase. But people have noticed changes in her physique from when she first became famous in 2019 to today. Naturally, these observations have sparked cosmetic surgery rumors.

According to She World, Sydney Sweeney has been subjected to numerous plastic surgery rumors. This includes rumors of rhinoplasty due to a perceived slight variation in her nose over the years. However, many boil this down to makeup contouring.
Sweeney has also been accused of receiving lip filler and general fillers around her face. This is due to her smooth skin and plumper lips. However, Sweeney has been open about her skincare routine (as well as her acne flare-ups) so this seems unlikely.
Not only has Sydney Sweeney not confirmed that she has received any cosmetic surgeries, but most experts, including TikTok star Dr. Shokrian, believe she has not.
But there has been a change in Sydney Sweeney's body which has affected her face. And that's losing weight. Specifically, Sweeneye has toned up significantly since 2019. This is partially attributed to her workout routine and diet.
Does Sydney Sweeney Workout?
Sydney Sweeney has been into extreme sports since she was young. Not only is she an avid wakeboarder, but she also loves skiing. Most famously, Sweeney is a trained MMA fighter and has been since she was a teenager.
Sweeney shed light on her MMA training in an interview with Marie Claire:
“I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place. Those guys were probably saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,’ but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!”
While she loves how her body and mind feel while fighting, she often has to put MMA aside while filming. This is due to the bruises incurred during the fights that cannot show up on camera.
But that doesn't mean Sweeney stops all physical activity. The White Lotus star has been seen jogging around L.A. with her dog tanks and fiance Jonathan Davino. Sweeney is also keen on the gym, specifically Dogpound. She also likes to do HIIT workouts at home.
Sweeney's diet is also something that's been well-documented, according to Women's Health. This is because Sweeney refuses to drink any alcohol or coffee. Instead, she almost exclusively drinks water. However, she is a self-proclaimed sugar addict and eats a lot of junk food.
