In 2010, doctors interviewed by Us Weekly claimed that Gosselin had gone under the knife — er, needle — in order to obtain what they considered "botched" Botox treatments.

Dr. Michael Olding, a plastic surgeon, stated, "She looked much better [previously]: great hair, nice smile, and a normal brow position." After undergoing what was said to be a bad Botox treatment, Olding said, "[Gosselin] had the typical appearance of Dysport or Botox poorly placed in the space between the brows where frown lines occur" and that "the lateral part of her brow" was "elevated in an abnormally high position, which my patients refer to as McDonald's arches!"

Later in the year, Gosselin spoke to The View (via The Huffington Post) and slammed any and all surgery rumors that went beyond the boundaries of the well-known tummy tuck. Gosselin, on the offense, said, "Why [are my boobs] so fascinating? I got a good bra!"

As for face-altering injectables, Gosselin said, "Botox? Absolutely not. Boobs? No. Tummy tuck, yes. We all know that. I run every day. I work out, I'm healthy, I want to look as good as I possibly can."

The Botox rumors would continue to plague her transformation, and in 2011, she still continued to fight the good fight of denial. In an interview with People, Gosselin said: "Read my eyebrows: no Botox!"
