The Confirmed Cosmetic Procedures: What Ariana Grande Has Admitted To
For years, Ariana Grande maintained a vague stance on the persistent plastic surgery rumors, often attributing her changing look to makeup, weight fluctuations, and simply growing up. However, in a candid moment during a lie detector test with Vogue, the singer finally put an end to much of the speculation by admitting to non-surgical cosmetic enhancements.
1. Lip Fillers (Confirmed)
The most noticeable change in Grande’s appearance over the past decade has been the fuller, more defined look of her lips, particularly in recent years. She confirmed that she has used lip fillers, a popular non-surgical procedure to add volume and shape to the lips.
Crucially, she also revealed a change of heart regarding these enhancements, stating that she has since dissolved some of the fillers. Her decision to dissolve them was part of a broader move toward a more natural look, reflecting a desire to be more open and honest about her body image struggles and her relationship with beauty.
2. Botox (Confirmed)
Ariana Grande also admitted to receiving Botox injections. Botox is a neurotoxin used to temporarily relax facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, often used on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabella), and around the eyes (crow’s feet). While she didn't specify the exact areas, the admission confirms the use of a common anti-aging and preventative cosmetic treatment.
Similar to the lip fillers, Grande mentioned that she stopped using Botox in 2018. She stated that she felt like she was hiding something and found the process of continually addressing her appearance exhausting, leading to the decision to step away from the injectables.
The Persistent Rumors: Procedures Ariana Grande Has Denied
Despite her admissions of injectables, the most intense and long-running rumors revolve around surgical procedures that would permanently alter her facial structure. Grande has been unequivocal in her denials regarding these specific surgeries, even under the pressure of a lie detector test.
3. Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
The rumor that Ariana Grande underwent rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is perhaps the most debated topic among fans and plastic surgery experts. Before-and-after photos often highlight a seemingly narrower bridge and a more refined tip compared to her younger years.
Ariana Grande has flatly denied ever having a nose job. She attributes the difference in her nose's appearance to expert contouring makeup, a technique she has mastered and frequently uses.
However, some double board-certified plastic surgeons continue to suggest that the dramatic and consistent change in her nasal structure points strongly toward a surgical enhancement.
4. Bella Eyes / Fox Eye Lift
The appearance of Ariana Grande’s eyes has also been a major source of speculation. Her signature lifted, almond-shaped eye look, often accompanied by her high ponytail, has led to rumors of a "Bella Eyes" or "Fox Eye" lift, which can be achieved surgically or non-surgically with thread lifts.
While she has not addressed this specific procedure directly, her overall denial of major surgical work implies she has not had a permanent eye lift. The dramatic effect is often achieved through her strategic use of makeup, particularly the famous "snatched" eyeliner look, and the tautness created by her extremely high ponytail, which can physically pull the skin on the temples upward.
5. Facial Slimming and Jawline Contouring
The singer's face has appeared significantly slimmer and more sculpted in recent years, leading to rumors of procedures like buccal fat removal or a jawline contouring treatment (such as Kybella or masseter Botox for a slimmer lower face).
Experts have also speculated about a "Trinity Lift" or a subtle facelift due to the overall tightness and definition of her lower face and neck.
Ariana Grande maintains that her facial changes are primarily due to weight loss and the natural process of aging and maturation, coupled with the strategic application of contouring makeup.
Expert Analysis vs. Public Statement: The Disconnect
The ongoing conversation surrounding Ariana Grande’s appearance highlights a common disconnect in the celebrity world: the gap between a celebrity’s public statement and the analysis of medical professionals.
While Grande is commended for her honesty regarding the use of injectables like Botox and fillers—a rare admission in Hollywood—the persistent expert speculation regarding procedures like rhinoplasty or subtle lifts suggests that the full story may be more complex.
- The Makeup Factor: Grande has consistently and correctly pointed out that the power of professional makeup, lighting, and digital photography is immense. Contouring can dramatically reshape the nose, jawline, and cheekbones, creating the illusion of surgical alteration.
- The Aging Factor: As she entered her late twenties and early thirties, her face naturally lost some of its youthful roundness, leading to a more defined, mature appearance that can be mistaken for surgical slimming.
Ultimately, Ariana Grande’s recent admission provides clarity on the use of temporary cosmetic enhancements, while her denials challenge the public and the media to consider the transformative power of non-surgical methods and professional styling. The truth, as she presented it, is a combination of injectables she has since moved past, and the mastery of illusion through makeup.
