What Happened to Bella Hadid's Face? Plastic Surgeon Reacts

[@kathleenwyatt563]

I blame their mother. She has been brutal to those sisters their entire lives. When your own mother constantly points out their flaws and pushing them into modeling, you can see why Bella decided to give in to the pressure to “conform”.

[@paoalexescja]

I’m 38. When I was a child I was called ugly. I would be compared with one of my friends and kids (and adults) would say that I was “the ugly girl”. Fast forward, I accepted that my looks would not get me far, so I focused on studying, and I got good at it. I am aware that these experiences hurt me and left a scar, but I have built a life that does not rely on my appearance. I can’t even imagine what young people are being exposed to…constantly bombarded with beauty standards that are unattainable. I am a new mom, and when I saw my newborn I cried so much thinking…he is beautiful and perfect just the way he is…I wouldn’t change anything…why do I keep seeing flaws in the mirror…they do not exist. I know that anyone can do whatever they want to their bodies, but if no one has told you today: you are beautiful, you’ve always been and will always be. 💜💜💜

[@lilacfunk]

Wow your story mirrors mine! My cousin and I are the same age and we were very close. Growing up, we were best friends. But to everyone around us, she was always the pretty one and I was the smart one. I also focused on my studies (and developed an elitist mentality that I’m trying to work on). Sad thing is, it was all external. We never compared ourselves. I’m 37 this year. And I truly hope to be looking into the adorable face of my newborn by next year too ❤

I thank God I stumbled upon this channel. I am 40 and was bullied a lot in junior high school. I’m a Black woman and as a girl I was constantly teased for having a large flat nose, chubby cheeks. I’ve been in therapy for 3 years I’ve also traveled the world and learned that beauty standards are entirely subjective. In Argentina my face is considered gorgeous because it’s not the norm there. Men stopped on the street and told me how beautiful I was. In Brazil my face was not considered classically beautiful but I saw myself in so many Afro-Brazilian women that I learned to love myself. Now watching this channel I’m thankful that learning to love the face I have is the journey that I’m on. ❤️

[@frontenac5083]

Hmm... Not quite, obviously beauty standards are _not_ entirely subjective at all. Even if it's true that they can vary through regions and time. Still, there is some universal traits to a beautiful face (such as symmetry, balance, regularity, etc.). But of course, saying that a black woman for instance, has to resemble a white woman as much as possible to be judged beautiful is plain wrong and stupid. Yet this is sadly what some people think, and even more sadly, some black women!

[@skierprincessakify]

I was always made fun of for having a larger Jewish nose. I wanted surgery so bad growing up, now I just embrace looking Jewish. I’m in therapy as well. ❤

Fortunately having grown as an ugly girl that had to buy beauty with brain I can say with pride that nothing I said or did could have made anyone feel this way. I've learned not to give unwanted advice unless it's something minute that can be quickly fixed - a leaf in your hair, spinach in teeth or a stain/rip in clothes. Beyond that - I say something nice if situation calls for it or say nothing at all about appearance and just compliment their personality and personal achievement. As long as beauty can buy success,there will be cosmetic surgery but stopping unwanted criticism can help many "average" people avoid becoming self conscious. Excessive criticism, even a single time can even trigger dysmorphia.

[@soph2799]

It’s deeply troubling that Bella had a nose job at 14. In Australia (and I presume it’s the same in the USA), a minor can’t have any cosmetic procedures performed without parental consent. This would mean that Yolanda signed off on it. In fact, I would bet that she encouraged it and was the driving force behind it happening… what kind of 14 year old even thinks to get a nose job, let alone go through with one? I highly doubt it was Bella’s idea. And that thought alone makes me really sad for Bella 😔

Litigiousness. He'll be sued if he says anything definitive about what people have undergone. The surgeon can only speculate. Note that this professional behavior is a safety net, so he focuses on the cost of a general procedure and steps back from direct questions.

[@thelearner9984]

This is where I disagree with your statement. Genetics is strange, and combining it with another person produces interesting offspring. Now not all offsprings come out like their parents; for example, a parent of a child might have a smaller nose, but the child might be born with a more prominent nose (or vice versa) because of a recessive gene carried by the parents, or the child might be born with attributes not found in their parents but in their grandparents. Some people gifted with these attributes by their parents might love it, and some might not, which prompts them to go under the knife. It is not just facial features people go under the knife for; it can be to enhance their breasts after repeated breastfeeding or remove loose skin from pregnancy, or even have their genitals tightened after multiple childbirths. All of these things won't kill you as it is natural, but it doesn't stop people from having them corrected. Cosmetic Surgery has a lot of negative connotations because it is seen as going against nature, and altering your natural-born feature can be seen as an a front to nature. The truth is cosmetic Surgery is neither good nor bad unless you overdo it, which then becomes bad. Ps Besides, if everyone accepted their gifts, people like Dr Linkov would be out of a job so would Stephanie's KZbin channel.

Is it just me or is it outrageous that she was starting her plastic surgery journey at 14?! Nobody actual likes how they look at 14 - that's the pathway of puberty & being a teenager; struggling with comparing your appearance with others, feeling inadequate, unsure & lacking in confidence. If you just opt for surgery to try & fix all your perceived flaws as a young teen - or older teen for that matter - you're not actually resolving the origin of your insecurities. Perhaps her parents should have helped her work on her inner self esteem & self worth before agreeing to allow her to undergo external surgical changes, maybe then she wouldn't feel the need to surgically alter her face so regularly. P.S Love yr videos Dr Gary 😉

Jane Fonda recently admitted to regretting much of the work she had done, but she does look very elegant and balanced.

I wish the curved nose would be seen as beautiful other than the European upturned button nose (that honestly not even many European people have themselves).

[@subliminalfalllenangel2108]

She wanted to be more successful in her modelling career. That's what makes the difference. She wasn't in a position to say that she could look however the hell she wanted. In order to be successful, some standards have to be met. And it worked. She is now one of the most iconic model in the modelling industry. However, her mental state is a mess. I guess being successful doesn't automatically make you happy. If I had as much money as she does, I would have reconstruct my entire body if possible, let alone my face. My mind will probably go insane but at least I will look good every time I look into the mirror.

I agree with you totally. I find Middle Eastern,Jewish, African and Indian people to be very attractive. But I know so many girls of these heritages hate their faces and have work done. It’s not wrong at all, but I find it sad that they want to look more Western. They are beautiful in their own way. We all are. The Western aesthetic was pushed as the “most beautiful” or standard of beauty. Now, beauty is beyond exotic, more catlike, or, dare I say it otherworldly?

[@ritaknk]

@@miask western aesthetics being pushed yes totally ! But not even western women look like that. To have big lips , high cheek bones, slim perfect noses , big eyelids (God forbid hooded eyes) , fox eyes , chiseled jawline etc. How many western women do you see that have all that naturally in a face? Not many if any. Usually nature will pick some of those features but remove others to bring balance to face. Even the western ancestral features are being erased too. I feel like society took all the best features from all ethnicities and put them into one generic face which we see today and tries to erase all other features (like they’re seemed not good enough)

[@miask]

You know, you’re right again! I was thinking back to Christie Brinkley. A lot of girls, big and little wanted to look like her. I would think she would be an ideal of Western beauty. There are many more, but when I was growing up, I wanted to look more like her-I was blonde haired with blue eyes-so in my mind, that was attainable. 😅My downfall was being the strong, hardy daughter of a mother who was exotically beautiful, but never had a nose job. He patrician nose is what was special about her-and set her apart. She constantly dieted to fit in to a 4 or 6. I was hounded to lose 10lbs, 15 would be better, she said. So I grew up believing I was fat and no boy would like me because of it. Not too long ago, I was going through old photos. I saw myself as I looked back then. Not fat at all. Sadly due to an accident, illness and meds, I really am fat now. I hate myself for it too! This is what living up to impossible standards will do to that to a young person. I’m sure you know girls who, for their 16th birthday, got a nose job or breast implants. I’m glad you didn’t change your grandpa’s nose. I’m sure you’re a beautiful lady just as your are. Perhaps Bella was trying to emulate, or surpass Gigi. So sorry, I got a bit carried away!🫶🏼

For most US states, it is not legal to do cosmetic procedures until the person is 18. This includes lip fillers, which the FDA approves for 21+. Surgeries like breast augmentation, liposuction etc. it is firmly set at 18. Special exceptions are sometimes made, and girls as young as 13 have had nose jobs, with the justification that they are being bullied to an extent where they require it. A good surgeon would not take on someone that young, because they know the face has not fully developed. Young celebrities that get these procedures must have gotten parental consent and went to doctor that ignores their better judgement. The laws are in place but they aren't followed as they should be.

[@chococat1313]

@@ultra_cosmic Transitioning before 18 involves no surgery or cosmetics procedures which would be illegal. At this age transitioning consists of wearing gender-confirming clothes, going by preferred pronouns etc. The only approved medical treatment, as recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics, International Pediatric Associations and other medical experts, is puberty blockers (which are reversible). Hormone therapy is not discussed until you are 16, at which point you begin a years long process to get approved for hormones. This process is supervised by doctors, psychiatrist, other mental health professionals. Only at 18 can the person get surgery, but again it is unlikely they are approved at this age, as the person generally have be on 2+ years of hormone therapy before considering surgery.

I have an opinion about the childwood trauma theory, based on my own experience. I had a troubled childwood: lots of family conflicts, psychological abuse, religious abuse, health issues, being bullied at school... When I was 14 I had a traumatic experience, which opened my eyes on the fact my parents were systematically denying my needs. It took me many years to actually realize that experience was a trauma. That experience changed many things about my way of life; among other things, I felt a strong urge to change my appearance, with clothes, with makeup, and if I had the means to resort to plastic surgery I would have done it massively! (I talked about it a lot, even had a clear list of the procedures I desired) At first, I justified it by saying that meeting beauty standards would improve my social life and the chances of being successful. When I grew up I abandoned the wish of surgically alter my appearance, since I realized for me it was just a way to separate myself from my family. It was like saying: "I am repulsed by everything you have given me. I want to dissociate myself from the look you chose for me with the clothes you provided for me. I want to dissociate myself from the image you expect me to maintain in social contexts, from your upbringing. I reject your distorted perception of me as a submissive person, unable to express my will, stand up for my rights, be assertive. I even reject this body, because it comes from your genetics, and I don't want to be known as one of you."

There is definitely a correlation between trauma and changing yourself (just like some turn to drugs, alcohol, etc. others turn to plastic surgery or changing their looks.) I know when I got freed of my experience I changed my hair for safety reasons but oddly after watching this I’m realizing it did a lot for me to move forward and not associate myself NOW to the traumatized old self. I didn’t get surgery but I changed styles, behaviour, and what we all do in a breakup - HAIR ! Also look at trauma survivors and the correlation with the punk goth looks or anything out of the norm.

At 5.5 years old now, she displays emotions she can’t express. She will be one of many with childhood trauma no matter what I do. I will do everything in my power to make sure this doesn’t happen, turning to alternate sources for security whether it be plastic surgery, rebellion, drugs/alcohol, etc. We have to be so mindful of this!

@@sydneyelise7260 Adopted children know (or should know) that they have different genes than their parents. As biological kid it can be heartbreaking that you don't even look related to your parents who had drastically changed their original characters. Another aspect is that you have kids with a person who has the features you like, but instead of the beautiful eyes, lips and nose, you will get a not so attractive kid who looks exactly the same as their parent at that age. Surely you can be prepared for that at some extent, but very drastic changes might be problematic for some.

​@@sydneyelise7260as someone who was adopted myself, I think I can speak to this. I don't feel heartbroken when I look at my parents' faces versus my own.

What I think could be "heartbreaking" as a child is seeing that you and one of your parents share (or shared) a facial feature that your parent has "fixed" or "edited out" with surgery. Knowing that your parent disliked this facial feature enough to get rid of it but YOU still have it could logicslly cause a drop in self esteem and maybe even make a kid wonder if their parent loves THEM because they still have that facial feature?

Bella's natural look reminds me of my childhood friend. I think it's such a beautiful, friendly face. Her face now appears harsh and aged in my opinion. I watch this show all the time thinking of myself as "natural," but I just remembered that I've had a lower eye "lid" surgery in high school. My lower eyelash used to grow upward into my eyes and the eyeballs often get scratched. Eventually, my mom took me to get a surgery to cut the lower eyelids downward a bit. The surgery has changed the shape of my eyes. I don't think I look better or worse, just different. I've never heard of anyone else having this surgery. Just curious if anyone here has had it or know anyone who did ^^

[@thayerwilliams905]

I've heard of it. I don't know anyone whose had it. I'm hoping one day to get surgery on just one eye. My right top eye lid started drooping a bit in between 1st and 2nd grade and got moderately severe by 3rd grade. I had to develop a habit of constantly opening my eyes as wide as I could and raising that eye brow to let that eye lid fold and sit at the normal height of the other one. It's been decades and it's mostly subconscious now, but that doesn't change the inconvenience and physical discomfort when it isn't sitting right. And that eyebrow is now noticeably higher than the other from years of constantly lifting it for the eyelid adjustment. I don't know yet, but I can imagine feeling like getting that fixed would register emotionally as "getting work done". It's an issue I've hated for a long time that's uncomfortable. It's fixing a problem my other eye doesn't have. I love the idea of thinking as little about that eye as I think about my normal one. I'm glad your surgery worked. That condition sounds miserable to live with and pretty important to fix

[@QuirkyQuillify]

@@thayerwilliams905 Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you could certainly find a good surgeon who would be able to help you achieve the balanced look that you desire. I think Forest Whitaker has a similar look to what you described? I apologize if it's nothing alike. But I've always loved Forest's performance. The drooping eye did nothing to hinder his fantastic ability as an actor.

[@mejuliie]

I do know people who had this type of procedure done. It's actually quite common as it seems to be used to combat many different issues, including very dry eyes as well. Personally, I've never felt it made a big difference in people's eye shape. After surgery the eyes do look different, but I've always attributed it to swelling. Once the swelling goes down, I'm already used to how the person looks and therefore don't really noticed any major changes in eye shape. I imagine it being similar to people who are super self-conscious of their uneven nostrils after a rhinoplasty (- myself being one of those lol), yet no one else notices it. It's natural that it would be more apparent to you. Have the results held up well? Or has the lower lid turned a bit more upwards/inwards over the years? Hope those questions aren't too personal. I just find it really interesting. But no pressure to answer :)

[@QuirkyQuillify]

@@mejuliie Thank you for the insight; I never knew it could help with dry eyes too! Before the surgery I have very small eyes (typical Asian monolid eyes). The surgery made my eyes slightly bigger, maybe that's why the change is obvious to me. I hope you are happy with your rhinoplasty; I'm sure people can't tell the slight imperfection that you can see. I had the surgery almost 20 years ago and, and the effect has been permanent. My lower lashes have never been a problem since. 😁

I just recently turned 40. And i never gave aging much thought until that magical number hit me. You just know from here on out there is no turning back to a youthful face. It can be hard to deal with at times because the sudden realisation that life is only going into 1 direction from a time perspective can be difficult to come to terms with. That said, i do not think that medical procedures should be recommend. You might make yourself look a bit younger for the time being but it will have the opposite effect a couple of years later and then it will hit you even harder. One needs to slowly but steadily accept oneself. Aging is for everyone. Its simply nature. Forms that are born will die. The time in between there is a transformation happening. Each life stage has its own challenges and rewards.

Psychological trauma often causes people to feel "not good enough" and plastic surgery can definitely give the impression that with these tweaks, they become good enough. Of course, the healing all has to happen on the inside. There are so many things people resort to in finding somekind of outlet for trauma take gambling addiction, every kind of addiction really, eating disorders, much confusion about identity, so maybe plastic surgery isn't the worst when you can afford it especially considering sadly some don't survive at all.

I always told her that her nose is just beautiful and it fits her. Also I have the nose of my mother and it is not straight like hers. But she is so insecure about it. But when I was 17 and was grocerie shopping with my best friend (who is really pretty) an older woman spoke to me about my nose. And that it was so unfortunately that my nose was so big and that a young girl like me should get it fixed. She gave me a card to call her plastic surgeon. She also just told my best friend how pretty she was. I always felt insecure about my appearance, like many girls I think. But that remark almost made me cry in front of everyone. I was so ashamed! And made me so self aware of my bigger nose. But now I see all these young persons do all these procedures. I have two little girls and I want them to love themselves just as they are. Im so happy I didn't do anything. If my girls would get my nose and they see that I alterated it... that sends a message to them. So please love yourself everybody. Your facial appearance has a history! Wear it with pride ❤

[@MayaMaia311]

Interesting....in addition to Stephanies theory, i also think that looking for perfection in plastic surgery comes from lack of unconditional love in childhood. An adult with unresolved trauma will think that the apperance is their issue, but never get to the sattisfaction they crave...maybe they also feel the pain when they look in the mirror and want to change because it reminds them of the childhood, their parents, and they want to escape that.

It seems that the modelling « industry » rewards the results of the procedures, combined with a complying overall physical (supervised) slenderness. Kendall Jenner is another such example.

I think a lot of pressure was put on her and I think she felt like the ugly duckling, and most of the time people change their outside appearance, thinking that it’s going to go along with their inside appearance, and it doesn’t always work, so you just have to be as healthy on the inside as you are on the outside when you get plastic surgery because the two have to match because one alone will not make you happy. Bella also has talked about her great anxiety that she has and continues to have that she’s an anxious 99% of the time so I feel like her feeling like she looks better, make sure feel a little less anxious but it still hasn’t done that because she still anxious so mental health work is in order along with the plastic surgery

[@z3ina349]

aryan means persian or iranian, it doesnt mean european instead u can just say eurocentric or something, and isnt Bella Hadid half arab? Her mother must have some type of racism in her since she couldnt accept the fact that her daughter had semi Arab features.

[@em6259]

How did this become about race? Bella was unattractive based on her face not her eyes or skin tone. Her skin is white and her eyes ard blue so what is your point anyways? Hair can bleached if one wants to be blonde. She is still unattractive btw.

[@hittheroadjack2014]

​@E M race has a factor because the standard for beauty is the European kind. You're even perpetuating it yourself "Bella was unattractive because of her face" - which was more ethnic and middle eastern, but still pretty- but it didn't fit your and the worlds eurocentrism

[@user_mll374]

@@hittheroadjack2014 I am middle eastern and I can assure you that Bella never looked "middle eastern"... lol Her eyes, eyebrows and lips are also the opposite of our beauty standards. You're actually the one stereotyping people... because I don't even know what you're imagining as "middle eastern"...🙄😂 Bella's face is simply not attractive. In ANY ethnicity. She's just a bone-thin American girl with billionaire family connections that made her a model.

[@hittheroadjack2014]

@UserMll Her nose especially beheld her roots- and the way her face used to be was very cute. I don't disagree that her connections made her a model, nor do I disagree that she's unattractive (to me) now- but it's especially funny how you continue to project those eurocentric standards thinking they're middle eastern to begin with- your entire comment is a riot and its a shame I can't tell you why entirely 🙃

[@archeewaters]

nice commentary. you're always so respectful and informative. thank you.

[@zeekay3205]

For a non professional this girl's assessments were crazy! I've never seen neither her channel nor this surgeon's, but her video merely required a little tweaking ALONE - sometimes none at all. He even said at one point caught off guard, "Oh! Good point!" For bringing up a possible procedure.

[@cassychesser]

It's really sad that she felt the need to completely change her face so much -- and let's be honest, it's because of her mother. What a shame.

[@LunaRose316]

Yes exactly!! Her mom is horrible, she instilled both her daughter’s insecurities. She still controls everything their daughter’s eat etc. Very sad so no wonder she literally changed her face & body to an extreme. I’m not saying she doesn’t look good. She is very pretty now & she seems happy with her surgeries & I respect that but still feel her mom messed with her self esteem.

[@Clavel688]

It could be a great crossover, Dr. Linkov and Stephanie, both explaining the same case from their own professional points of view.

[@1tagardina612]

With all the money her family has, they didn't really think to get Bella a good psychologist to work on her self esteem before going through all these surgeries?

[@snake6706]

Franky, money has nothing to do with it. I see mental and behavior problems the most with filthy rich families. She's technically the one with the least drama in her family. Her dad has rape allegations, her mother Yolanda claims that her son in law hit her, her mother also urged her to get a nose job at 14 and told her sister gigi not to play softball so she doesn't look like a muscular lesbian. There's many compilations of Yolanda telling her kids not to eat. Gigi once called her mother saying she was dizzy from not eating and her mother told her to eat a few almonds lol. Yolanda also got mad at gigi for eating a bite of her own birthday cake. They're the cause of her mental issues. So how can they suggest mental help for her?

[@romulus_]

self-esteem may be part of it but the biggest motivation is keeping the money machine humming along. seems to be working thus far.

[@chelscara]

Honestly! It’s almost child abuse to have a 14 yr old come up to you and say “I’m bullied for my looks, please by me a new face” and then just BUY HER THE NEW FACE??? Not assuring her own beauty, not emphasizing inner beauty, not talking to schools about getting their fucking students in check, not one therapy appointment. Just an agreement.

[@blackiesun]

Her mother is the one who made her feel like shit even more about her looks lol

[@LeyaSardar]

I have seen that girls who are called not pretty or ugly at their teenage time or upto 22 , in mid 20’s or early 30’s they become pretty . So your face will always change will be grown or enhance in natural ways. So, girls save yourself from such insecurities and mental trauma. Focus on your inner goodness and your uniqueness and that will enhance your beauty from inside to outside.

[@mireyacarroll4301]

I agree. It's like when people say "new hair, new me" or when you change part of your appearance, it somehow transforms you into a new or better version of yourself. Like a rebirth in some way

[@winxclubstellamusa]

And the Egyptian actress Zubeida Therawat! But Jennifer Lawrence is the one who looks the most like her, Bella’s previous face only partially looked like her. And Jennifer Lawrence is still an actress right now, and her career began in the early 2000’s, not the 90’s. I personally LOVED when Bella looked like Jennifer, because I think that Jennifer is absolutely gorgeous. I hate how Bella has completely ruined her face and is bound to start to regret this very soon.

[@tacosmargs58]

I've had 3 nose jobs. First was botched, second two were reconstructive. I did have a traumatic childhood to some extent, but I only ever wanted my nose done because it was crooked and had a big hump. The botch turned out to be very traumatic in itself because my nose collapsed. I'm ok now but I wouldn't do any other surgeries.

[@annewalden3795]

Thank you for explaining that surgery can sometimes be a disaster .

[@the_lady_in_black86]

Bella's evolution breaks my heart. She was stunningly beautiful before all the procedures. All it's done is prematurely age her.

[@itskyaaa9058]

I absolutely love how genuine and down to earth your commentary is.

[@myaduro]

👍Very nice

[@kallymcdonnell]

To be fair 16:50, Bella lost about 30-40 pounds. She has been diagnosed with an eating disorder. To say she was always tall and slim is a minor misrepresentation. Note: not saying she hasn’t had fat removal to her face, she possibly could. But I am saying she has had a significant weight loss that can contribute to her appearance.

[@diddlybop]

Think about Bella’s experience as a hadid. Your mother was a super model. Your sister, a natural beauty, tall, blonde, blue eyed. And then there’s you. Your name is BELLA. you HAVE to be beautiful. The world is watching. Your mother and sister are gorgeous. But you have a hooked nose, hooded eyes and a round face. Oh yea, and you live in LA. It’s a wonder she didn’t go so overboard that she ruined her face. I can’t even understand the pressure she must’ve felt.

[@valamoss]

Gigi has a very round face. It was more about the prominent nose and then she couldn't stop.

[@diddlybop]

@@valamoss and i feel like they went too far and basically erased her nose 🥲

[@valamoss]

@@diddlybop Yes now it's like a typical instagram nose. She does have a high fashion face now, more than Gigi. And Gigi is overall prettier. According to me anyway.

[@lindahendricks9965]

What side about this, is that Bella Hadid has been held as the standard for beauty for quite a while. I believe she was listed as the perfect face at one time. Shame on us for falling for this over and over and over again. Including shame on Bella for passing this off as natural beauty.

[@SY-ok2dq]

"They don't last forever. A really good facelift can last maybe 10 years" That immediately made me think of the Radiohead song Fake Plastic Trees: "She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love"

[@SamPan20]

When talking about traumatic childhoods, she should have definitely said those who have had extensive and almost obsessive surgeries fall into this category more, not those who have just had a few enhancements.

[@recordtapesbackward]

yep and she definitely meant that, you can tell from the celebrity examples she showed

[@lolomar]

her surgeries have definitely paid off, although I do think she should’ve at least kept half of her buccal fat, she’s beautiful nonetheless. most celebrities have had something done, we only pressure the ones that are conventionally attractive to come out and say they had something done.

[@TheSwauzz]

Her surgeries have paid off now, but she probably just shortened the length of her modeling career by a lot. Getting major plastic surgery procedures done at such a young age means she will never be able to stop and she will not age naturally in a beautiful way. It's incredibly sad that people permanently change things about themselves on the off chance that it might make them feel better for a limited amount of time.

[@rosequartz7841]

Disagree that it's paid off. You cannot keep holding back the years. It's all very sad. Spend the money on therapy and heal the child within!

[@robynepstein7488]

I had my rhinoplasty (and septoplasty) at 15 - it made sense timing-wise (I was changing schools, no one would know) and I had a severe deviated septum that needed to be fixed so why would I subject myself to two surgeries when they could do it all at once. I know I was young, but I've never regretted it and it improved my quality of life. Actually, my deviated septum was so bad that the surgeon actually told me it was one of the worst ones he'd ever seen and that it was unlikely my nose would ever be perfectly straight. He was correct, I still have a slight deviated, but not one that affects me as much and not one that needs to be surgically corrected.

[@sanjanat1085]

I think even celebrities should hold the right to privacy on this kind of thing since it's essentially medical history. They could just agree that they've had things done and leave it at that if they don't want to disclose the particular procedures because anyone with eyes will be able to see a difference and know what parts have been worked on. And if you want to know because you want it done for yourself, go for a consultation and find out your options, that's inevitable if you're looking into cosmetic surgery.
