 Alexa Ray Joel is doing well following a scary incident over the weekend. 
 
 The singer-songwriter collapsed onstage during her sold-out show at the Café Carlyle in New York City on Saturday night. 
 
 The daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley fainted midway through her set and was rushed to the emergency room at New York Presbyterian Hospital, where she was diagnosed with vasovagal synocope—a condition that blocks blood from properly flowing to the brain. 
 
 E! News has learned that the 28-year-old is resting and recovering and her diagnosis will not require any treatment.

 Her rep told the weekly publication that Alexa wasn't feeling well before she took the stage over the weekend. 
 
 "Ms. Joel was taken ill earlier in the afternoon and announced from stage that she pulled out her back and neck, but wanted the show to go on." 
 
 The singer herself also wanted to reach out and thank her fans for their well wishes. 
 
 "I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to support me," Alexa said in a statement. 
 
 "I was excited and determined to fulfill my final performance and I really wanted to end my run with a band, but this was not what I had in mind and hope I have the opportunity to make it up to the wonderful audience very soon. Thanks for all the concern."

 Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley’s daughter Alexa Ray Joel is hard at work launching her music career but her brand new look has led a top doctor to tell RadarOnline.com that they believe the 64-year-old Piano man’s child has undergone several types of plastic surgery to create her new look. 
 
 Often criticized for her looks long before she ventured into the public eye, the supermodel’s oldest daughter faced severe comments about the fact that she isn’t a sun-kissed blonde-hair-blue-eyed beauty. 
 
 When Alexa Ray, 28, took to the stage for a sold-out performance at Café Carlyle in New York City this week she certainly looked different than she has in the past.

 NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman, who has not treated Alexa Ray, speculated to Radar: “She certainly looks like she has “re-created” her look. She admits to having a nose job, but there seems to have been a lot more than that done. Her upper eyelids are wider, suggesting an upper blepharoplsty. Her lips are fuller, likely the result of fillers such as Restylane or Juvaderm.” 
 
 The Uptown Girl’s daughter admitted to a nose job in 2010 and her mother, 60, defended her decision to go under the knife.

 “My daughter is the most honest, open, sensitive and beautiful person and she had a little tweak of her nose, she had a rhinoplasty which she felt she wanted to tell everybody because she wanted other people to feel comfortable if they made that decision for themselves and she did. That’s the only thing she’s ever done,” Brinkley told Anderson Cooper. 
 
 Dr. Schulman described more of the changes he believes Alexa Ray undertook. 
 
 “Her cheekbones are more chiseled and higher, again likely the result of temporary fillers such as Voluma, although I cannot rule out the possibility of cheek implants.

 “Overall I actually think she looks very good, but is clearly treading a fine line and I would hate to see her fall on the wrong side of things like others have.”

 UPDATE: 
 
 Alexa Ray took to her Instagram to deny that she’s had anything more than a nose job done and credited her makeup artist for her “visibly-positive alterations.” 
 
 “I would just like to add that all of the continuously-circulating rumors that I have had extensive ‘face-work’ and undergone breast-augmentation surgery is simply and entirely 100% false. The only thing I have ever had done is my nose, which I have always been completely candid, honest, and open about- and I can swear on my Beloved Gypsy-Stella The Cat that this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God! (But hey, there could be worse rumors circulating, so, I’ll take it). Any visibly-positive alterations in terms of my public-image are an absolute and sole credit to my brilliant makeup-artist and stylist, @darlingcait … Who is a true beauty-wizard and visionary. (That, combined with the fact that I actually have a hearty dose of self-confidence now- which took me a little extra minute or so to find.) ; ) But hey, wouldn’t it be nice if the press could just focus on my music and stage-presence? Because, honestly, I would rather be judged, critiqued, and picked apart for my actual work.” ||||| Alexa Ray Joel collapsed on stage during her sold-out show at Café Carlyle on Saturday night. 
 
 The singer-songwriter was immediately taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital’s emergency room, where she was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, one of the most common causes of fainting. 
 
 Joel, 28, had told audience members that she was feeling ill and had pulled out her back and neck, but wanted the show to go on, before she collapsed. 
 
 “I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to support me. I was excited and determined to fulfill my final performance and I really wanted to end my run with a bang, but this was not what I had in mind and hope I have the opportunity to make it up to the wonderful audience very soon. Thanks for all the concern,” Joel said in a statement Monday. 
 
 Vasovagal syncope causes a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, which leads to reduced blood flow to the brain, resulting in a brief loss of consciousness. The condition is usually harmless and requires no treatment. 
 
 The daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley was performing her closing-night engagement at Café Carlyle on Saturday after a two-week run. Her dramatically changed appearance forced her to deny rumors of extensive plastic surgery. 
 
 In 2009, Joel was rushed to St. Vincent’s Hospital after a reported suicide attempt when she reportedly ingested an excessive amount of homeopathic pills. The incident occurred after a breakup with a former boyfriend named Jimmy Riot, and Joel posted online at the time, “I don’t like dating!!! Wish I could be in a relationship again without having to date. I HATE going out!!” 
 
 She also reportedly passed out at a gig once before, in 2006 before going on stage at Marist College. She posted at the time, “I ended up fainting from stress, lack of sleep and just overall exhaustion.”
– Alexa Ray Joel was playing a sold-out show at New York's Cafe Carlyle when she collapsed onstage and was rushed to the emergency room Saturday night. By the time the news came out yesterday, Joel was already recovering, and the 28-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley says in a statement that she's fine and just feels bad about the show: "I was excited and determined to fulfill my final performance and I really wanted to end my run with a bang, but this was not what I had in mind." Her rep tells People Joel was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, a condition that causes fainting by blocking bloodflow to the brain. Page Six notes that the condition is typically harmless, and E! reports that Joel will not need treatment. She's passed out at a show once before, when she fainted backstage in 2006. Then, in 2009, she made headlines after a suicidal overdose scare (though she later insisted it was neither a suicide attempt nor an overdose). Most recently, she was in the news earlier this month when the media noticed that she looks quite different nowadays (see a before-and-after comparison here) and rumors of plastic surgery surfaced. But Joel put those to bed, insisting all she's ever had done is a nose job.
