I think in all the current pics, Elfman looks great. Her body is still gorgeous and her face just radiates health. I think it could be the way she’s gotten all her engrams out of her face. That or the bukkake films she did in Japan between season of Dharma and Greg. ---

It’s far more likely that the culprit for her nosebridge’s “weight loss” is the angle of the light, than Slim Fast. Well, I can’t read **DSYoungEsq** ’s mind, but I would think s/he meant by that was some of her other facial features would have changed, making the nose look different because of the change in the rest of her face. ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > She looks fine to me there, are you guys confusing her with Kate Jackson? I think it’s more a result of a bad picture - she looks way too smooth and tightened - but I think it’s because her face is overexposed and there are no shadows to make her look normal. Her mouth however looks quite wonky in my opinion. ---

Different hair styles can have a significant effect on how someone looks. On some people it doesn’t matter. On others, it really does. Jenna has a long, narrow face. The difference between the short poofy hair and the long hair really makes a difference. Add in the eyebrow change that **WVMom** mentioned, a few years of age, and different makeup, and the big change in looks doesn’t seem unreasonable. Her lower cheeks do look a bit less full than they did in the Dharma and Greg days. That could be attributable to weight loss or age. She could possibly have had some minor surgical contouring done, on her cheeks or elsewhere. But if she has, it’s made less of a difference in her looks than the other factors. She looks very pretty in the links that **Shayna** posted. She looks not so good in the publicity shot that the OP linked. Her hair color looks harsh, and her makeup looks garish. But as others have said, everybody looks weird in those pictures. ---

I also don’t think Janine looks bad in either of those picture. Just please don’t tell me she’s a scientologist… ---

It’s far more likely that the culprit for her nosebridge’s “weight loss” is the angle of the light, than Slim Fast. You are very mistaken if you do not think that you can have fat pockets to the sides of the bridge of the nose that would affect the look of the nose bridge. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > Her face is maturing. I think she looks better than she ever did. > > Also, re: those without/with pictures. I can’t help but wonder how much of the “before” is airbrushed/photoshopped just to accentuate the negative. If half those girls were as unattractive as they appear, worlds woud collide! I know make-up makes a difference (I see it every day in my own mirror!) but we’re talking the difference between skid row haggard ho and Hollywood princess perfect! There’s no amount of spackle that can change the basic musculature and skin tone that much. I think this is what’s going on. Her face is a little fuller, and she’s more “grown-up” looking. And just so everyone knows where I stand on it: She’s never over! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-has-jenna-elfman-done-to-her-face/340796.md?page=2)
