Who knows exactly what Odo and Kira did in their off time together (cue porn background music).And yet somehow couldn't form the shape of them...
And going be season 2 L'Rell and season 1 L'Rell, Klingons apparently have the ability to elongate their heads at will.Poor, STO they're going to have to remodel their DSC Klingons, mere months after releasing them.
Now we need a bald Worf, complete with elongated head and new makeup, to show up in the Picard show.
Yes, because there is no evidence that in universe surgery is a thing...And going be season 2 L'Rell and season 1 L'Rell, Klingons apparently have the ability to elongate their heads at will.

Why would L'Rell do that though? That's like saying that all Klingons got surgery before we had the Augment virus explanation. Obviously no one rolled with that theory or we wouldn't have had the Augment virus explanation to begin with.Yes, because there is no evidence that in universe surgery is a thing...
DS9's "Blood Oath" did.
Except nowhere in the dialogue is that indicated. The idea was to pretend all Klingons always had ridged foreheads. And presumably we're being asked now to pretend L'Rell's head was always one size.
What was eventually revealed was that the flat foreheads were a disease that Kang, Kor, and Koloth eventually were cured from. That's completely different from L'Rell, whose head size is not indicated to be a disease or anything of the sort.
It's heavily implied, at least.
No, actually, it wasn't. "Trials and Tribble-ations" proved they didn't.
There are some seasons separating blood oath and the tribbles episode. And even then, nothing about surgery was mentioned in the tribbles episode, just a "long story". Using a "long story" to explain L'Rell's change--that could be that Klingons always could stretch their heads on command, or surgery.
And using occam's razor and the fact L'Rell has no need for surgery--well...
I don't have a why. Just an observation that such surgery is available.
Did Pike, Spock and Sarek also have plastic surgery and thus look different than in TOS?
Actually, whatever the Enterprise was up to during the Klingon war was more violent than the crew has let on. Pike, Spock, and Number One had facial injuries that needed to be reconstructed, with the results not turning out quite right. Spock eventually had his normal appearance restored by 2265 however.
I'm sure it will all be covered in that Enterprise tie-in novel. Said novel will also explain that the injuries caused amnesia of the events of Desperate Hours novel, explaining why no one on Discovery mentions it.
As for Sarek and Amanda... well I imagine some Klingons decided to get revenge for the attempted destruction of their homeworld, which involved Sarek, and they needed reconstructive surgery for facial injuries too.
I don't recall any implication of surgery for the classic Klingons who appeared in "Blood Oath."
I do remember reading somewhere that Colicos (or maybe Campbell) asked why they had to wear the ridged Klingon makeup when they didn't look that way in TOS. He was jokingly told that it was because now they were playing old Klingons.

Can't wait for Michael Dorn to ask why he has to have an elongated head for his appearance in the Picard show. Maybe they'll tell him it's because he's now playing an old Klingon.

There are three makeup artists working the whole time on her...I mean, it's okay. It's just another iteration."
