Ariana Grande has got candid about her experience undergoing cosmetic treatments including Botox and lip filler in the past, while reflecting with refreshing honesty on her motivation for altering her appearance.
“I had a ton of lip filler over the years, and Botox,” she said. The comments were made during a video with Vogue, starring Ariana, where the 30-year-old star spoke in detail about her skincare regime and beauty secrets (spoiler alert: she likes a straight, Audrey Hepburn-style brow, and a ‘button nose’ contour. Cute.).

The American singer-songwriter went on to say, while applying her makeup including her trademark eyeliner, that she has since discontinued her injectables – after finding herself dissatisfied with the way they left her appearance.
“I stopped in 2018 because I felt so — too much. For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me and now I feel like maybe it’s not,” she said. She explained that her intention with beauty is now more about “self-expression and accentuating what is there”.
She added: “I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines. I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more. Ageing can be such a beautiful thing.”
As much as Ariana expressed her openness to ageing naturally, she admitted she may well consider future procedures: “Now, might I get a face lift in 10 years? I might, yeah. But these are just thoughts we should be able to discuss. If we’re talking about beauty secrets… Let’s put it all out there.” 10 points for honesty, Ariana.
Not all celebrities have, historically, been so forthcoming as Ariana Grande in admitting to their cosmetic procedures. Take, for instance, Kylie Jenner, who once denied her plumper lips were the result of cosmetic enhancement before admitting to getting “temporary lip fillers” in a 2015 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians – she more recently opened up about her regret about having implants at just 19, too.
