When Fans First Noticed Katy Perry's Changing Face (2024)

Katy Perry, like many other celebrities, has been the subject of years of speculation about whether she has undergone plastic surgery. Many people think they can determine what sort of work she has had done by looking at her photos.

Is it a simple case of lighting, angles, hair, and beauty makeup wizardry? Or is her present blonde hair color a deliberate attempt to divert fans’ attention away from more permanent cosmetic procedures? Katy has cleared the air after considerable conjecture, and you might be surprised by what she said.

Katy Perry And Plastic Surgery Claims

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, known professionally as Katy Perry, has been in the public spotlight since she was in her early twenties, and she is now 36 years old, so it's not unexpected that she appears different today than she did then. The alterations in her appearance have sparked a lot of curiosity.

Plastic surgeons have a variety of opinions regarding how Katy may have changed her appearance. Some people believe she has undergone rhinoplasty, or a nose operation, because of changes in her nose. Her cheekbones are also more sculpted, her lips are fuller, and her under-eyes are smoother, according to them.

Dr. Adam Schaffner revealed, “It appears that Katy’s nose is different now than it is in older photos. That would suggest to me she may have had rhinoplasty. In addition, cheeks are also more sculpted now than they were.”

The changes on Katy’s face, according to Dr. Tijion Esho, were made with two types of injections: fillers and Botox. He explained, “Her face is now contoured with a more angular jaw and mid-face. This can be achieved by treating specific areas in the face…with precise injections of Juvederm dermal filler with a cannula.”

Dr. Esho continues, “Katy’s skin appears taught with an absence of lines, suggesting Botox use. There also has been a change in the shape of her lips, as well as an increase in volume. While this can be mimicked by makeup, when looking more closely I suspect that this may have been achieved using dermal fillers.”

Dr. Zara Harutyunyan of Cosmetic Rejuvenation in Los Angeles also believes the pop star has been pricked by the needle more than she has confessed! She said, “It looks like Katy’s had fillers in her lips, around her mouth for her smile lines, underneath her eyes, cheekbones, and jawline contouring. Considering how smooth her upper face is, she has most likely had Botox injections around her eyes to eliminate crow's feet and between her eyebrows for her frown lines, and across her forehead for horizontal wrinkles.”

Katy Perry’s Response to Plastic Surgery Rumors

Their claims, according to Katy Perry herself, are at least partially correct. She is open about the job she's done. She claims she hasn't undergone any plastic surgery, although she has had a few minor procedures done.

She said in an interview, “I’ve done lasers and got (filler) injections under my eyes for the hollowing – which I’d recommend for everyone who wants a solution for their dark circles – but all of my assets are real. People tend to think they are fake, but it doesn’t really matter.”

More significantly, Katy believes that individuals should not feel guilty about their decision to get surgery. She stressed that it is a personal decision. She explained, “We’re getting away from that negative stigma about physical alterations. Of course, always be your authentic self – but if someone wants a nose job that makes them feel better, and they love their profile more because of it, it’s like ‘Go ahead!’ Do whatever makes you feel better about yourself.”

She joins a long list of famous women who have fought the notion that their bodies and decisions are up for debate, which feels especially pertinent in the post-Weinstein era. Courteney Cox, who recently admitted she had her fillers dissolved, Kaley Cuoco, and Sarah Hyland have all lately spoken out against Hollywood's "damned if you do, damned if you don't" mentality.

Fans’ Reaction To Katy Perry Plastic Surgery Rumors

As for the plastic surgery rumors, Katy just rejects them all and states that they are untrue. But there are some people who believe she lied. A critic of her sarcastically tweeted, “Katy Perry said she’d never get plastic surgery. It’s brave of her to settle for perfect, natural boobs that can serve as flotation devices.” Another chimed in, “She’s a f***ing liar.”

However, all her devoted fans believe what Katy has said, claiming that it's all due to her new cosmetic style, which has transformed her look into something more attractive. One of her followers wrote, “Imagine thinking Katy has had plastic surgery…That’s tragic. The fact that she even needs to deny is embarrassing, at least. People need to leave her alone and focus on things that really matter.”

Another commented on the plastic surgery rumors, “Who said she did? She looks fine. I don’t see anything unattractive on her face.” Her fan also adores her for not getting herself under the knife, writing, “Katy Perry is so hot and I totally respect her for not getting any plastic surgery.”

People will most likely continue to speculate about whether Katy Perry, who believes social media is trash, has undergone any cosmetic surgery. She doesn't seem to have anything to conceal, though. If she ever decides to get surgery, she appears to have no qualms with telling her admirers and critics about it.
