But the question remains, did she undergo the knife? To answer this question, we need to take a look at how Katie Cassidy’s appearance changed over the years. Let’s dive in.
Let’s start off with Katie Cassidy in 2006. At 20 years of age, Katie Cassidy looked young and promising. Her wide smile and dashing gaze won the hearts of many fans.

By 2008, Katie Cassidy was making a name for herself in horror series. It was announced that she would be part of the mystery series Harpers Bazaar. We still see no evidence of plastic surgery in 2008. But her eye bags were getting obvious:

In 2009, Katie Cassidy played Ella Sims in the reboot version of Melrose Place. In the photo below, she showed that she can be pretty without her blond streaks. And those eye bags just kept growing. By now, you realise that her chin has grown from being very sharp in 2006, to a rounder shape:

In 2010, Katie Cassidy starred in another horror movie – a remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. The photo below showed Katie in shorter hair. Some say that her nose tip looked sharper, but we felt its still of the same shape. What do you think?

Who is Katie Cassidy?
Katie Cassidy is a popular actress in Los Angeles California. Katie Cassidy is also the daughter of David Cassidy, who is a popular singer back in the 1970s. Katie is best loved for her roles on the Nightmare on Elm Street series and shows like Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, Supernatural and Arrow. For her appearances in horror movies, Katie Cassidy also has a reputation for being a “scream queen” for obvious reasons. Katie is also part of the Television series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow as the role of Laurel Lance. With such prominent roles, it is necessary for Katie Cassidy to show flawless complexion and express a beautiful body and face.
Such changes could be due to a strict weight regime leading to drastic weight loss. Weight loss can result in a slimmer face, and a sharper jaw. But weight loss does not usually affect the nose at all. And very rarely does weight loss lead to a complete change in face shape. Moreover, weight loss causes a sag in the cheeks but Katie Cassidy’s cheeks seem to have moved up instead of trending down.
