Lana Del Rey Speaks Out on Plastic Surgery Speculations and Her Previous Appearances
Lana Del Rey has clarified her stance on plastic surgery rumors.
The 40-year-old singer responded to a fan on Instagram on Tuesday, September 24, after a fan remarked about her preference for Del Rey’s “natural nose.”
A fan account shared memories of Del Rey’s look from her 2008 Kill Kill EP, when she performed under the name Lizzy Grant. Del Rey commented that the stage name is still a part of her: “Ugh she never went anywhere, no more of that,” referring to her iconic platinum blonde look. “Box dye hair does not [make] a new person.”
The fan account highlighted Del Rey’s response, and the “Video Games” artist reiterated her feelings, saying, “I don’t like it.” She also confronted additional comments on social media, including one fan who speculated she had undergone rhinoplasty.
“Her natural nose was so perfect 🥹,” the fan remarked, prompting Del Rey to respond, “To you and dear readers, [I] still never even been under the knife or anesthesia in my life for the 15th year in a row!!”
She elaborated that she has used filler to “build up the bridge of [her] nose” for a “tall [with] no bump” appearance.
She added, “It takes seven minutes – in fact, Dr. Antel’s intern released those ‘befores’ against [HIPAA] laws years ago much to my panic, so you already know this.”
Fans quickly rallied around Del Rey’s comment, with one writing, “TELL EM MAMA,” another stating, “Set the record straight, mother!” and a third gushing, “You are obviously beautiful with or without fillers.”
Her birth name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, but she initially performed as Lizzy Grant in her early days. In 2011, she transformed her image by adopting the more glamorous name Lana Del Rey.
She fully embraced this new identity when she released the music video for “Video Games.” The “Summertime Sadness” singer first introduced her new stage name in 2010 with the launch of her self-titled album, Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant.
