Ariana Madix has recently joined a growing list of celebrities who openly discuss their cosmetic procedures. As the host of “Love Island,” Madix revealed she underwent a minimally invasive procedure called Ellevate in 2019, designed to support and rejuvenate the neck. This procedure, performed by Dr. Gregory Mueller, creates an invisible support structure under the skin, aiming to redefine and contour the neck and jawline with natural-looking results that can last over five years.
In her detailed disclosure, Madix also mentioned receiving Botox in her 11s (the lines between her eyebrows), her outer brow, and minimal lip filler due to the small size of her face. Additionally, she noted having filler in her chin but emphasized that she hasn’t had any other procedures, including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
Fans have praised Madix for her transparency, recognizing her honesty as a positive step towards normalizing cosmetic procedures and removing stigma. Comments from her followers reflect a supportive response to her openness about her cosmetic enhancements.
Industry experts have weighed in on the impact of such disclosures. Kevin Mercuri, CEO of Propheta Communications, suggests that for reality stars and lower-tier celebrities, discussing cosmetic procedures can be a strategic move to stay in the public eye and maintain a connection with fans. In contrast, A-list celebrities might benefit more from maintaining a sense of mystery.
Dr. Johnson Lee, a board-certified plastic surgeon, notes that the ubiquity of social media and before-and-after photos makes transparency almost inevitable for celebrities, as they are under constant scrutiny. This openness can help demystify cosmetic procedures and encourage responsible decision-making among the public.
Madix’s candidness aligns with a broader trend among celebrities who have chosen to share their experiences with cosmetic procedures. For instance:
– **Kristin Cavallari** has spoken about her breast augmentations, noting that she had the procedure done twice—once after breastfeeding her children and again to address changes from subsequent pregnancies.
– **Megan Fox** addressed several rumors about her surgeries, confirming breast augmentations and a nose job while denying other procedures like rhinoplasty and facelifts. Fox’s approach highlights her cautious attitude towards surgery due to fears of general anesthesia.
– **Dolly Parton** has been notably transparent about her extensive use of cosmetic procedures. She has humorously and candidly discussed her ongoing beauty enhancements and advised careful research and selecting top professionals for such work.
– **Kaley Cuoco** openly discussed her cosmetic procedures, including a nose job and breast augmentation, expressing that these changes have significantly boosted her confidence.
– **Victoria Beckham** had previously denied undergoing breast augmentation but has since emphasized embracing her imperfections and reducing the use of makeup.
These disclosures reflect a growing trend among celebrities to be open about their cosmetic enhancements, aiming to normalize the conversation and encourage informed choices among their audiences.
