Iggy Azalea’s newest look is likely the result of plastic surgery, although actual “surgery” per se may or may not have been involved. The 28-year-old Australian-born rapper has been forthcoming about past changes in her appearance, including a nose job and breast enhancement. Recent photos posted on Instagram show larger lips and a slimmer chin and jawline. Plastic surgeons – who did not perform any procedures on Iggy – opined about the rapper’s latest looks.
Plastic surgeons viewing her Instagram photos agreed Iggy’s enhanced lips are almost certainly the result of hyaluronic acid injections. These fillers are especially popular among millennials, and since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, there is little risk of a negative reaction to injections. While Botox is relatively safe, it is deadly botulism toxin after all, and serious side effects can occur. Her slimmed down jawline is also most likely due to fillers, but it’s possible that Botox was used in this situation.
The bigger question with Iggy is whether she underwent a surgical brow lift. Her eyebrows definitely appear enhanced, but it’s possible to achieve that look with injections. If she underwent a surgical brow lift, that’s a much more involved procedure.
One plastic surgeon says it’s possible that Iggy underwent helium plasma skin tightening, also known as J-plasma, although that is mere speculation. At 28, she really isn’t at the age where such tightening is necessary. If she did decide to have such a procedure, it would consist of a device containing helium gas using radiofrequency energy either run over the skin topically or sub-dermally for facial rejuvenation. When used topically, the gas creates a skin mask that is wiped away, sort of like a super-exfoliation. When used sub-dermally, the device pumps up the skin via the gas through small incisions. In either case, the skin looks instantly younger and tighter. This treatment is not used for spots, but for the entire face and neck, and can eradicate fine lines and wrinkles. If Iggy hasn’t used J-plasma yet, odds are she will in the future, because this is a woman who always wants to look her best. She’s very concerned about health and wellness, so let’s give credit to her amazing looks to a good diet and exercise program, and not assume every minute change in her appearance means a visit to a plastic surgeon.
