Has Ariana Grande Had Plastic Surgery? Experts Differed in Their Opinions

Ariana Grande's plastic surgery rumors have been around for a while! The musician is the face of her brand, r.e.m beauty, and has been rumored to have work done on her face. We look at the expert opinions of Dr. Anthony Youn and Dr. Gary Linkov.

Ariana Grande, born Ariana Grande-Butera, is a global superstar singer, actress, and model who gained recognition on Nickelodeon's television series, "Victorious" between 2010 and 2013 before capturing stardom on "Sam & Cat" on Nickelodeon.

There has always been a lot of media attention on Ariana. Earlier in her career, many were glued to the events of her love life, which involved rappers Mac Miller and Big Sean, actor and comedian Pete Davidson, and other prominent figures. Ariana is back in the rumor mill as medical professionals suspect she's done plastic surgery.

Ariana Grande's Face - What Do Plastic Surgeons Say?

On December 12, 2020, Doctor Anthony Youn broke down the evolution of Ariana's face from 18 to 22. The Doctor pointed out that Ariana's face was more round when she was 18. When she turned 20, her face started to look slimmer and perceivably longer than two years before.

Dr. Youn did, however, highlight that this is a standard change when people grow from their teens to their early 20s. He analyzes the areas discussed the most: her lips and nose. He gathers that the bump on her nose from age 20 had never disappeared, therefore rubbishing the rumors of Ariana getting a nose job.

However, Dr. Youn mentioned that her lips have changed since she was 18. He specified that her lips look more outlined and plump than before, deeming it "very characteristic" to appear that way after receiving lip injections.

Dr. Youn clarified that lip injections are not considered to be plastic surgery. However, they are categorized under cosmetic treatments. He does not rule out the possibility of Ariana having botox done and claims that she has had a lot of botox done on her face. The doctor summed up his analysis by saying:

"But I would say, In essence, overall, I don't think she's had any actual surgery; there's no obvious sign of it. So looking at Ariana Grande over the years, if I had to give her a grade from not natural to completely natural, I would give her mostly natural."

Doctor Gary Linkov also gave his analysis via Youtube on January 5, 2022. He said that she seemingly had her first rhinoplasty at 20. He highlighted that the bridge of her nose looked narrower, and her nostrils seemed more exposed due to altering the cartilage on the tip of her nose.

After analyzing her mandible, the doctor suggests that Ariana could have had implants or filler put into that area as it seemed more defined than it was a few years before.

Dr. Linkov mentioned that the singer might have had a brow lift. He justified his assumption by pointing out that the positioning of her eyebrows changed over the years into perfect symmetry.

Dr. Linkov gathered that by the time Ariana was 23, her lips had been filled with, most likely, a hyaluronic acid base filler, as both her lips appeared to be similar in size. However, after looking at pictures of her when she was much younger, he does not believe that Ariana had had a lip lift.

Ariana Grande Never Confirmed Plastic Surgeries, but She Loves Makeup

Ariana Grande is creative at heart. The singer attains joy from the creatively transformative benefits that beauty enhancements provide. The singer feels the same satisfaction from some good make-up that she feels from music. In an interview promoting her brand r.e.m. beauty, she said:

"You can never have enough makeup, just like you can never have enough music."

She founded r.e.m. beauty to provide people with the tools to enhance their beauty and express themselves differently—a gift she does not take for granted. Although it can not be confirmed that Ariana underwent any surgery, it is undeniable that her fans worldwide are drawn to her distinct features.

Twitter Users Complain about Her Look

Ariana, who has "no choice" but to wear high heels because of her height, has not slowed down in growing herself as a brand and professional since her role as Cat Valentine—a redhead sweetheart and Jennette McCurdy's friend, on Nickelodeon's "Sam & Cat."

Ariana then made a name for herself in the music industry with her four-octave vocal range, hitting whistle notes similar to Nick Cannon's superstar ex-wife, Mariah Carey. She bagged many awards, including two Grammys from fifteen nominations. With such great success comes significant criticism.

Ariana's fans feel her appearance has changed over the years and see the resemblance botox treatment results in her features. However, while others are more certain she's had loads of work done, some fans rubbish these claims and marvel at their icon's beauty instead. Similar to Ariana is Hailey Bieber, who was also rumored to have had work done.
