Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old actress and singer, has recently addressed plastic surgery speculation on TikTok. In response to a video by Marissa Barrionuevo, a physician's assistant at a plastic surgery office who analyzed Selena's face changes over the years, Selena commented 'Honestly, I hate this. I was on stripes because of flare up. I have Botox. That's it. Leave me alone.'
Selena has been open about her health struggles and previous cosmetic procedures in the past.
In 2014, Selena was diagnosed with lupus and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017. The side effects of her medications have caused weight fluctuations, which may contribute to changes in her appearance.
Despite this, Selena continues to face speculation about plastic surgery from the media and fans alike. In an interview with Women's Wear Daily last year, she reflected on how her career impacted her perception of herself and what it means to be beautiful.
Selena's response to the TikTok video sparked a conversation about body image, privacy, and the pressure celebrities face in regards to their appearance. Marissa Barrionuevo also apologized for any ill feelings her original post may have caused and acknowledged that everyone deserves respect and privacy.
It is important to remember that everyone's body changes over time due to various factors such as aging, health conditions, and lifestyle choices. It is crucial to approach these topics with sensitivity, respect, and factual information.
