Ariana Grande Opens Up About Her Decision To Ditch Botox And Lip Fillers

In a heartfelt revelation, pop sensation Ariana Grande recently shared her deeply personal journey with cosmetic injectables, shedding light on her decision to bid farewell to Botox and lip fillers. The 30-year-old star opened up about her experience in a candid video interview with Vogue, where she discussed her past encounters with these beauty procedures and the emotional reasons behind her choice to abandon them.

In the intimate interview, Ariana Grande, known for hits like “Thank U, Next” and “Side to Side,” divulged her history with lip fillers and Botox. “Full transparency, as a beauty person, as I do my lips,” she began, “had a ton of lip filler over the years, and Botox. I stopped in 2018 cause I just felt so, too much. I just felt like hiding, you know?” The emotional weight of her decision became evident as she paused, her eyes welling up with tears. “For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me. And now I feel like maybe it’s not,” she confessed, her vulnerability resonating with viewers worldwide.

Grande’s decision to embrace her natural beauty became a turning point in her life. She expressed her support for individuals who choose to undergo cosmetic procedures while articulating her personal choice to embrace the aging process. “Whatever makes you feel beautiful, I do support,” Ariana emphasized. “But I know for me, I was like, ‘Oh, I wanna see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines.’ I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper, and I laugh more and more.”

Ariana Grande, a renowned advocate for self-love and acceptance, emphasized the beauty in aging, describing it as a profound and transformative experience. She acknowledged the potential of aging as a source of wisdom and self-discovery, challenging societal norms that often associate youth with beauty. “And I think aging is such, it can be such a beautiful thing,” she added, her laughter punctuating her words. With a hint of playful humor, she admitted, “Now might I get a facelift in 10 years? Might, yeah,” acknowledging the possibility while embracing the uncertainties of the future.

Grande’s openness extended beyond her personal choices, as she encouraged open dialogues about beauty standards and cosmetic enhancements. “But these are just thoughts that I feel like we should be able to discuss. If we’re sitting here talking about beauty secrets, f–ck it, let’s lay it all out there,” she declared, advocating for transparency and authenticity in conversations about beauty.

The emotional and empowering moment was not confined to the video interview alone; Grande shared her vulnerability with her followers on social media. Posting screenshots from the Vogue interview on Instagram, she reflected on the experience: “Most nervous I’ve been in so long,” she wrote in the caption. “And definitely not the best I’ve ever done my makeup but had a very lovely time 🙂 thank you for having me @voguemagazine and for making space for my very Cancerian humanness.” The post, infused with sincerity, received an outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

Among those expressing support was Ethan Slater, Grande’s Wicked co-star and boyfriend, who quickly liked her Instagram post. The couple’s relationship, which became public in July, marked a new chapter for both, following their respective separations from their former spouses. Ariana Grande and her former husband, Dalton Gomez, confirmed their breakup in July, while Ethan Slater filed for divorce from his wife of four years, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a young son.

Sources close to the couple clarified that Ariana and Ethan were both separated from their former partners before embarking on their relationship. Despite the changes in their personal lives, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez remained friends, demonstrating maturity and respect amidst the transitions.

Ariana Grande’s journey toward self-acceptance and her decision to embrace her natural beauty echo a broader societal shift toward celebrating authenticity and diversity. Her honesty and vulnerability serve as a powerful reminder that beauty comes in various forms and that true self-expression transcends societal expectations. As Grande continues to inspire with her music and openness, her story becomes a beacon of empowerment, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves unconditionally.
