I Love My Italian Nose’ – Lady Gaga Responds to Plastic Surgery Claims, Silenced Her Critics

Lady Gaga refutes all claims of her ever going for surgery

Lady Gaga is one of the most prominent pop stars in the past 15 years. Her emergence onto the music scene occurred in 2008, showcasing her distinctive blend of dance-pop and avant-garde fashion sensibilities. With each subsequent album and music video release, Gaga’s star power continued to ascend.

Despite her stated message, there’s a prevailing belief that Lady Gaga has undergone cosmetic procedures to alter her natural appearance. Gaga has consistently refuted claims of plastic surgery, but her candid acknowledgment of other enhancements has sparked accusations of hypocrisy, especially in light of her advocacy for self-acceptance.

Lady Gaga Is Rumored To Have Undergone Plastic Surgery

Amid her era marked by Born This Way, Lady Gaga dispelled plastic surgery rumors in a 2011 interview conducted by Harper’s Bazaar.

Gaga said (via Longevita):

“I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”

Nonetheless, those rumors concerning plastic surgery persisted, with the most notable one suggesting that Gaga had undergone a nose job. “No, I love my Italian nose,” she added.

Nevertheless, Gaga openly acknowledged her use of fillers. In a 2013 conversation with Howard Stern, she candidly confessed to receiving Juvederm, a dermal filler commonly used for enhancing cheeks, lips, and the perioral region. This was seen as contradictory by many, considering that Gaga had consistently preached a message of self-acceptance to her devoted fanbase, known as “little monsters.“

Lady Gaga Learned It The Hard Way

Lady Gaga experienced extreme stress and exhaustion from perpetually accepting every project that came her way, eventually leading her to decide to say “no.” When she initially uttered that two-letter word, she discovered the significant power it wielded. The sense of renewal and relief it brought was initially foreign to her.

“So what did I do? I started to say no. I’m not doing that. I don’t want to do that. I’m not taking that picture. I’m not going to that event. I’m not standing by that because that’s not what I stand for. And slowly but surely, I remembered who I am.”

Rather than allowing her fame to become a burden, she leveraged it as a means to elevate herself further. She possessed a clear sense of agency in her decisions, exclusively embarking on projects that genuinely piqued her interest. This approach granted her the chance to expand her horizons without the apprehension of soaring too close to the sun.
