Carrie Underwood feared that people believe that she "optically" changed her face after an accident

There is a reason why Carrie Underwood is open to the world about the terrible accident that led her to get more than 40 stitches.

The 35-year-old woman participated in the show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Wednesday and revealed one of her biggest concerns after suffering a bad fall in November.

"I feel like me [look different] a little, "said the pregnant crooner at DeGeneres, 60.

"My biggest concern at the time was that if I did not say anything later … I feel like people will say," What did she do for herself? " And it was definitely not a choice.

"I feel close to me," Underwood added. "I feel pretty close to normal."

The "Pretty Cry" also explained that she "did not realize how" the accident occurred when she first fell down the stairs of her home in Nashville after missing a step in walking his dogs late at night.

"I feel that every time something happens, its adrenaline or something, you do not really know before you take a second to evaluate … It was one of those random things in my life," she said. declared.

But things look good for alum "American Idol". She and her husband Mike Fisher announced in early August on Instagram that they were expecting their second baby.

Dr. David Cangello, who is not caring for Underwood, told Fox News in May that he did not believe that the singer had gone under the knife.

He explained that when someone experiences a facial injury, the initial swelling may seem more serious than the actual injury. According to Dr. Cangello, this explains why Underwood initially warned fans that "the terrible accident" had left him "not very similar".

"After the injury, there is a lot of distortion of the facial tissue due to swelling and this can give the impression of permanent deformity," he told Fox News. "But in time, when all that swelling goes and the scar has a chance to disappear, you find out that you look perfectly normal."

That's probably what happened with Underwood, he said.

"I do not know the extent of her injuries, but on the fact that she looks pretty good now, I guess the lacerations have been repaired … and once everything has been solved, the fact that [the scar] seems rather banal now, lets me believe that the injury was probably not beyond, "he said.

In April, Underwood revealed on "The Bobby Bones Show" that she "did not know how things were going to end."

"It was important to me as I started to go back to my life, go to the grocery store and take my child to school, and that's it. I said to myself: . & # 39; And you know that people will say to themselves, "What happened?" when they publish it on Instagram, "she said.

After months of hiding her face on social media, following a bad fall that resulted in a broken wrist and 50 stitches, the singer finally unveiled her "new" face during her "Cry Pretty" performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 15th.

Underwood, who is right-handed, has already told Bones that the recovery process was heavy when she had to adapt to life without her dominant hand.

"It has put me in the background," shared Underwood. "The most frustrating part was trying to train with a broken wrist, and how bad it can make you lose your world, with an appendix that's there, but you can not get it." 39; use ".
