People have been questioning whether Bella Hadid has had plastic surgery for about as long as she’s been in the public eye. In addition to her trend-setting style, the model is often praised for her classic look and natural beauty, but recently, fans have been looking closely at older photos of her and wondering if some features may have changed with surgery. However, the star has been quick to shut down any rumors about this—aside from one. In an interview with Vogue earlier this year, Hadid admitted she received a nose job at a young age, but now regrets it.
Regardless of whether or not you believe the supermodel has gotten any work done besides her nose job, there’s no denying that her face has gone through a dramatic transformation since she was a young teenager (although, honestly, hasn’t everyone’s?).

When comparing a photo of Bella’s face now to how she looked a few years ago, many fans have said that they think she has had a brow lift. Brow lifts involve tightening the skin around the forehead for a lifted appearance. Most people who opt for this type of procedure do so as an anti-aging precaution. But let’s be honest, Bella probably wouldn’t need to reverse any affects of age—she’s is only 25 years old, after all. Still, fans continue to question whether she had the procedure done.
“Idk why she denies having work done when it’s this obvious lol,” one commenter wrote on a side-by-side post of Bella’s brows.
However, Bella has stayed firm in the fact that these rumors aren’t true. “People think I fully f—ked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenage looking puffy,” she told Vogue. “I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right?” That’s for sure!
“Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever … it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book,” she shared. The star also said she’s never had any sort of filler, although many have speculated she has some in her cheekbones. “Let’s just put an end to that,” the model said. “I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me.”
In an earlier interview from 2018, she took a similar stance in response to the fan speculation. “People think I got all this surgery or did this or that,” Bella said. “And you know what? We can do a scan of my face, darling. I’m scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn’t want to mess up my face.” Noted!

There is, however, one surgery Bella will own up to. The star admits she got a nose job at the young age of 14, although she now regrets it. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she told Vogue. “I think I would have grown into it.”
We have no doubt she would have turned out gorgeous regardless. In fact, if you ask us, we think it’s fair to say that most of the model’s glow-up is thanks to plain old puberty. Just a decade ago, Bella was only 15, so it would make sense that her face has been continuing to develop and mature as she reached her early twenties.
