You won’t believe Ada Nicodemou’s dramatic new look—what happened to her face?
- Replies 3
Ada Nicodemou has been a familiar face on our screens for more than two decades, charming audiences as Leah Patterson on Home and Away.
But this week, the beloved Aussie actress had fans doing a double-take after sharing a series of snaps from a romantic weekend away with her partner and co-star, James Stewart.
The 48-year-old star took to social media to post a collection of loved-up photos, showing the couple enjoying some well-deserved downtime on the picturesque New South Wales South Coast.
Ada, who’s been working hard and recently battled a nasty bout of influenza, looked happy and relaxed as she and James soaked up the rural scenery.
‘A well-earned weekend away after working extremely hard for the last few weeks (on top of being really sick with influenza),’ Ada captioned the post, clearly relishing the chance to unwind.
But while many fans were quick to comment on how happy and refreshed the couple looked, others couldn’t help but notice something different about Ada’s appearance.
Several eagle-eyed followers pointed out that Ada’s face appeared noticeably puffier than usual, sparking a flurry of speculation in the comments.
‘What have you done to your face?’ one follower asked bluntly, while another chimed in, ‘Yes, what work have you had to your face?’ The questions quickly snowballed, with some fans wondering if Ada had recently undergone cosmetic procedures.
Of course, not everyone was focused on Ada’s looks. Plenty of supporters jumped to her defence, praising her radiant glow and positive energy.
‘Look at those happy faces. Beautiful. I love seeing happy people,’ one fan wrote, while another added, ‘Wow, looking very refreshed.’ A third echoed the sentiment: ‘That’s lovely. You look both happy and relaxed.’

This isn’t the first time Ada’s appearance has sparked conversation.
Back in 2018, Woman’s Day published claims from cosmetic surgeon Dr Meaghan Heckenberg, who speculated that Ada may have had ‘rhinoplasty, muscle-relaxing injections and dermal fillers’ to maintain her youthful look.
Dr Heckenberg, who has never treated Ada, also suggested that her Mediterranean heritage gives her naturally great skin. Ada herself has previously confirmed undergoing breast augmentation in 2019, after years of public speculation.
It’s worth noting that Ada’s recent illness could also explain her slightly swollen appearance. Anyone who’s battled a tough flu knows it can leave you looking a bit worse for wear—puffy eyes, tired skin, and all.
The conversation around Ada’s appearance highlights a broader issue: the intense scrutiny celebrities—especially women—face over their looks.
Whether it’s a new hairstyle, a bit of weight gain or loss, or the natural effects of ageing, public figures are often subjected to harsh and sometimes unfair commentary. It’s a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, stars like Ada are just as human as the rest of us.

Cosmetic procedures are increasingly common in Australia, with many people—famous or not—choosing to have a little ‘freshen up’ as they get older. There’s no shame in wanting to look your best, but it’s important to remember that everyone’s journey with ageing and self-care is personal.
At the end of the day, Ada and James looked happy, healthy, and in love—and isn’t that what really matters?
