Ever since she rose to international fame (or infamy, more like it), “Teen Bride” Courtney Stodden has been plagued by plastic surgery rumors. Below, embedded at the end, of this article is her latest attempt at putting that rumor to rest once and for all.

Courtney Stodden recently visited Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani to get a proper – and on camera – examination to attest that her drastic new look isn’t down to surgical intervention.

As we also reported a short while ago, right before VH1’s Couples Therapy premiered, on which Courtney and much older husband Dough Hutchinson also appear, the young reality star debuted a striking new look.

The difference was in the makeup mostly, which now seemed to be applied by a professional instead of an amateur (in the dark, with a shovel, one might add) but some also said that she had subtle work done as well.

“People are saying I’ve had everything from a nose job to having my lips done to cheek implants – everything,” Courtney tells Dr. Mani, as the video below will confirm.

Dr. Mani proceeds to examine Courtney’s face for the tell-tale signs of plastic surgery of which, not at all surprising, he finds none.

“Courtney’s smile is very beautiful and very natural. Her lips look very natural and very normal. Sometimes you can tell if someone has had too much filler in the lips – you don’t have that,” he says.

“Let’s see if you've had a facelift at age 18 – it’s happened before. There are no scars. There’s no liposuction scar under your chin – you would have a little scar, but you definitely don’t have it,” Dr. Mani continues with his conclusions.

In the end, his verdict – the short of it – is that Stodden has had no work done, so haters saying she has are either blind to the evidence or set to deliberately tarnish her good name.

“So I looked at all the areas, Courtney, that might tell someone that you have had plastic surgery and it’s pretty clear to me that as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Courtney has not had any plastic surgery,” Dr. Mani concludes.
