Lana Del Rey Clarifies Cosmetic Surgery Speculations on Instagram
Lana Del Rey recently addressed speculation regarding her cosmetic procedures, specifically responding to claims that she underwent rhinoplasty. On September 24, 2023, the 40-year-old singer clarified her stance during an exchange on Instagram, emphasizing that she has not had any surgical enhancements.
In a conversation initiated by a fan account that reflected on Del Rey’s early career look from her 2008 EP, *Kill Kill*, when she was known as Lizzy Grant, Del Rey made her feelings clear. “Ugh she never went anywhere, no more of that,” she wrote, referring to her previous platinum blonde hairstyle. She continued, “Box dye hair does not [make] a new person,” indicating her ongoing connection to her original persona.
The dialogue escalated when a follower praised her “natural nose” and assumed Del Rey had undergone surgery. In response, she asserted, “To u and dear readers, [I] still never even been under the knife or anesthesia in my life for the 15th year in a row!!” This statement underscores her commitment to transparency regarding her appearance.
Del Rey acknowledged using fillers to enhance her nose, stating that she sought to achieve a taller look without a bump. She explained that the process takes only seven minutes and referenced an incident where an intern from her doctor, Dr. Antel, allegedly leaked unauthorized “before” photos. “Much to my panic so u already know this,” she added, highlighting her discomfort with the breach of privacy.
Fan reactions poured in rapidly, with many expressing support for the singer. Comments included enthusiastic affirmations such as “TELL EM MAMA,” showcasing the strong bond between Del Rey and her followers. Another fan remarked, “Set the record straight, mother!” while one more noted, “You are obviously beautiful with or without fillers,” reflecting the admiration for her authenticity.
Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, transitioned from her early stage name Lizzy Grant to her more glamorous persona in 2011. She fully embraced the name change with the release of the music video for her hit song “Video Games.” The name change marked a significant turning point in her career, contributing to her rise as a prominent figure in the music industry.
Del Rey’s openness about her cosmetic choices resonates with fans who appreciate her honesty. In an age where celebrity culture often emphasizes perfection and transformation, her candidness serves as a refreshing reminder of the complexities surrounding beauty standards and personal choices.
