The trend of transparency has set a new tone in the world of cosmetic surgery. Celebrities who previously maintained aesthetic adjustment words not only talk about the procedures they had, but also share or lack intimate details of the doctor’s names and procedures. On Tuesday, September 23rd, singer Lana Del Rey took her to Instagram to clear up speculation that she went under the knife.
According to a story reported by People, the explanation occurred in the comments section of the Del Rey Instagram fan account. It began with a post that reminded me of the singer’s 2008 EP, Kill Kill. At the time, the singer went with Lizzie Grant and had a different look. The nostalgic photos sparked the argument that Del Rey had a new nose. Below the image, one user commented, “Her natural nose was very pahu.” Comments spurred a new reaction from Del Rey, saying she has never been under a knife or anesthesia in her life. She went on to explain that she has not had a rhinoplasty but has a filler added to the bridge of her nose, making her look taller without bumps.
The procedure Del Rey refers to is a non-surgical rhinoplasty, known affectionately as a liquid nose job, and is in fact very common. “The work of a liquid nose is the use of various fillers to improve the contour and shape of the nose. Unlike traditional nose jobs, it does not involve a cut, but can make a big difference in the appearance of a person.” Dr. Beale explains that it is most often used to improve the bridge of the nose and can also change the nostrils when done by the right surgeon.
According to Del Rey, her procedure was intended to “accumulate” the nose and remove visible humps once. The results are not permanent, but they can provide noticeable and immediate improvements. So, is there a possibility that Del Rey’s past procedures could change her appearance in the long term? The answer is difficult. Dr. Beal says that if the filler is a thick product that is not pushed by the muscles and is relatively quiet, the results of liquid nose work can last for years.
In Del Rey’s case, fans came straight to her defense, straightening her reaction and doubled the fact that she wasn’t going under the knife, acknowledging the work of the liquid nose.
