As one of the only celebrities to openly acknowledge getting a nose job, she wasn’t trying to conceal it by offering excuses like weight loss or gym work as reasons why.
She has undergone other cosmetic surgeries to alter her appearance, including jawline changes that appear less square and wider, along with potential filler injections to make her cheeks appear fuller. Furthermore, her teeth have also been altered to better align with the new features of her face shape.
