The former "American Idol" contestant made the shocking confession on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" Tuesday that he's had a little work done.
But don't get the wrong idea. The guy's not vain or anything.

The 33-year-old "Measure of a Man" singer told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen (via Us Magazine) that he decided to get a little touch-up done almost as an afterthought, while undergoing a procedure for a temporomandibular joint disorder.
"I had operative surgery on my jaw for a TMJ thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there," Aiken admitted. "I was like, 'You know what, while I'm already down, go ahead and take the vacuum in there and suck the fat out of my chin.'"
Clay Aiken: Yes, I've Had Plastic Surgery
During his stint on "Celebrity Apprentice" in January, Clay Aiken looked noticeably different than he did during his heyday in 2003 as the runner-up on Season 2 of "American Idol" -- and it turns out it wasn't just the passage of time.
The singer, 33, admitted to Andy Cohen on Tuesday's "Watch What Happens Live" that he did, indeed, undergo plastic surgery.
"I had operative surgery on my jaw for a TMJ thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there," Aiken revealed on live TV, without specifying exactly when the procedure took place. "I was like, 'You know what, while I'm already down, go ahead and take the vacuum in there and suck the fat out of my chin."
What Happened to Clay Aiken’s Face?
It has been nearly 10 years (!) since Clay competed on American Idol and he has drifted in and out of the spotlight since then. Like most men in their 30′s, Clay has gained a bit of weight and lost a little hair, but other then that his facial features look exactly the same. One thing that does make Clay look a little strange and plastic-y is the stage makeup that he tends to wear. Foundation and bronzer on any man looks a bit “off” and it certainly isn’t helping the already awkward singer.
Now that we have cleared that up, perhaps we should address the other Celebrity Apprentice contestants that actually have gone under the knife for a little (or a lot of) plastic surgery? Victoria Gotti, Aubrey O’Day, Debbie Gibson, Teresa Giudice and Cheryl Tiggs are all on this season of Celebrity Apprentice and have all had plastic surgery. More on their plastic surgery transformations coming soon!
Clay Aiken Admits to Having Liposuction
Clay Aiken recently appeared on live television and put to rest the plastic surgery rumors…by admitting that he has indeed had cosmetic surgery! Clay told “Watch What Happens Live” host, Andy Cohen:
Score one for honesty? Well, maybe…Clay’s chin not only looks more defined after having liposuction, but it looks quite a bit larger/wider. It appears that he may be fibbing a bit about his surgery being to correct a “TMJ thing”. Bite correction surgery for TMJ is reserved for severe cases, as there are plenty of non-surgical options. Also, bite correction surgery doesn’t typically result in a visible cosmetic change, and Clay Aiken’s chin has been drastically altered.
