Lady Gaga: Plastic Surgery Is 'Promoting Insecurity'

By The Editors of StyleList Posted Apr 14th 2011 12:05AM

If you've ever questioned whether Lady Gaga has gone under the knife, she's setting the record straight that she's simply "Born This Way" in the May 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar.

The 25-year-old pop star talks plastic surgery in a candid interview with Derek Blasberg where she opens up about her pint-sized body and having the freedom to decide how the world sees her.

"I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification," Gaga says.

Rocking a pink cotton candy wig, smoky eye makeup, pink berry lips, gray stiletto nails and sharp facial "bones" on the magazine's cover, Gaga also reveals that her sculpted cheekbone structure is an ever-present reflection of inspiration.

"They've always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am."

"It's a performance-art piece. I have never, ever encouraged my fans or anyone to harm themselves, nor do I romanticize masochism. Body modification is part of the overarching analysis of 'Born This Way,'" Gaga adds.

The provocative singer wastes no time dishing about her failure to adapt in Hollywood.

"I had all these number-one records, and I had sold all these albums, and it was sort of this turning point: Am I going to try and embrace Hollywood and assimilate to that culture?"

Needless to say, no one could convince the 25-year-old to go against her instincts.

"I put my toe in that water, and it was a Kegel-exercise vaginal reaction where I clenched and had to retract immediately," she says in a very vivid metaphor. "I ran furiously back to New York, to my old apartment, and I hung out with my friends, and I went to the same bars."

Good for her. She doesn't need a sex change operation. The fans can't even detect her penis tuck.

I think Gaga is CACA..... Plastic surgery done right promotes good looks honey. If you want to age like some old bag lady go for it.

Maybe you need plastic surgery, but most women do not.

I think GAGA is a hermaphrodite. I believe she has sex organs of both sexes. She'll need plastic surgery sooner then she thinks! LOL

"I have never, ever encouraged my fans or anyone to harm themselves, nor do I romanticize masochism. Body modification is part of the overarching analysis of 'Born This Way'"? Sounds like she's also saying that she's against people getting tattoos.

No, it's the other way around.

By teddy Galea

GAGA does not need a face lift, she just needs her belly dropped

GAGA is too too ugly to have a face lift, she/he ought to have her/his belly dropped

I think she must have forgotten that she's already had work done.

Celebrityplasticpics has before and after pics of her nose job-
They won't let me post a link :(

By Chris

She's a liar and a hypocrite. She very obviously had a nose job.

By mem

Never say never, who wouldn't want a tinch of botox or a little nip and tuck when they get older.

By guinevere

hhhmmm..no plastic surgery because she wants to look natural? then lay off the peroxide bottle pumpkin..your hair looks like straw and that awful makeup you insist on wearing doesn't help either
