Shakira - Plastic Surgery or Not?

While Shakira claims that her hips don’t lie, that does not mean the singer has been completely truthful about her features. Even though she has (sort of) admitted to one plastic surgery procedure, there is still some speculation surrounding the Colombian singer and possible changes to her appearance through cosmetic procedures.

Shakira – (Kind of) Admits to One Cosmetic Procedure on Her Face

Back in 2009, Shakira discussed the topic of plastic surgery in an interview with a newspaper in Colombia. In the interview, she was asked if she had ever gone under the knife for a surgical procedure to alter her appearance. Her reply was, “Definitely not for my breasts. For my nose, maybe.”

The singer went on to reveal that she did visit a plastic surgeon in the past for a consultation appointment for her nose. However, she also claims she never actually had the procedure. Following that statement, celebrity plastic surgery gossip started to happen including speculation surrounding the idea that she did have rhinoplasty. Shakira quickly clapped back at this claim on Twitter by saying, “So many things going on in the world and yet some invent stories about me getting a nose job. Why would a she wolf want a smaller nose?”

Her fans responded with praise for the singer. One fan responded with, “Omg legend,” while another fan said, “Exactly queen tell them!”

Shakira – Beauty Tip That Keeps Her Youthful

If Shakira has not turned to plastic surgery (as she claims), what is her number one beauty tip to retain a youthful look? According to a 2014 interview with InStyle, the singer said to “wear sunscreen and smile. A good smile shows off confidence and that’s really the best makeup. I’m such a smiler that sometimes photographers have to ask me to stop and give a more serious or sexy look.”

Shakira – Additional Plastic Surgery Procedures?

Much like anyone else as they age, the look of Shakira has evolved and changed over the years. The first images of the singer that were shared with the public showed her with black hair and not much evidence of any type of plastic surgery on her face. As time passed, her features seemed to change a bit and there is some debate on whether these changes were due to the aging process or due to cosmetic help. It has even been suggested that she spent more than a million and a half pesos on cosmetic surgery (which is almost $80,000 in US dollars).

The singer has not admitted to any of the procedures that are listed below but there is some ongoing speculation that she had the following plastic surgery treatments performed on her body:

• Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option where custom-made tooth-colored materials, which are usually made of porcelain, are placed on the front of the teeth in order to change their shape and size as well as the color of the teeth.
• Liposuction is able to give the targeted part of the body an improved contour and shape by eliminating excess and hard to remove fat from the body for a slimmer look.
• Rhinoplasty (AKA a nose job) is performed to make alterations and changes to the look of the nose including the size and shape of the nose. The surgeon makes changes to the cartilage, bone, and skin of the nose to give it an enhanced look and even improve the ability of the patient to breathe easier on a daily basis.
• Botox is a noninvasive procedure that lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face for a younger and smoother look. Botox is injected into a muscle located near a wrinkle so neuromuscular blockers can work to limit the amount of muscle contractions in the targeted area.
• Bichectomy (AKA Buccal Fat Pad Removal) is a procedure that removes some of the buccal fat pad in order to reduce the look of prominent cheeks.
• Tummy Tuck (AKA Abdominoplasty) is performed to improve the look of the abdomen. The enhanced look to the abdomen is achieved by removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen in order to give the area a look that has a better tone and improved contour.
• Gluteoplasty (AKA Butt Augmentation or Gluteal Augmentation Surgery) is performed to increase the roundness and fullness of the butt as well as give the treated area a better balance through the placement of butt implants or the transfer of fat into the buttocks during a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).

Shakira has not admitted to having any of the procedures discussed above even though there has been some speculation about these treatments on the part of her fans and the media. The singer often remains silent on her evolving look which means she is not likely to make a statement at any point in the near future confirming the gossip about changes made to her appearance through the help of plastic surgery.
