Gwen Stefani is allegedly obsessed with getting facial fillers and her friends are concerned.
In its March 28 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Stefani’s friends are urging her to stop getting facial fillers just because she’s scared of looking old.
“It’s no secret she’s been obsessed with Botox and filters for years, but she’s really gone overboard now. She can’t even move her face and her smile looks distorted because of all the filler,” the source said.
Celebrity plastic surgeon Michelle Yagoda who has not treated Stefani said that the No Doubt singer looks as though she had a lot of things done to her face.
“It looks like she’s had cheek filler, a rhinoplasty to smooth the bump on her nose, Botox to drop her upper lip, and lip injections,” she said.
Another insider claimed that all these could be the reason why Stefani looks so much younger than her age. The singer is already 52 years old, but she doesn’t seem to have wrinkles and blemishes on her face.
“Her friends and even Blake have been on her case to lay off the cosmetic procedures and just be herself. No one would fault her for trying to look young and hip, but she’s getting more and more freakish looking,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt.
There’s no indication that Stefani has been getting facial fillers. And even if she is, there’s no proof that she’s obsessed with it.
It’s not uncommon for celebrities to get facial fillers, but to accuse the singer of being obsessed with it sounds a bit too extreme.
Last year, plastic surgeons also clarified some misconceptions about facial fillers. They said that this type of procedure doesn’t equate to plastic surgery so even if Stefani has gotten fillers, it’s possible that she has never gotten plastic surgery.
But throughout the years, multiple tabloids have been speculating on how Stefani manages to look young even at her age.
Last year, Life & Style also claimed that Stefani has undergone multiple surgeries and procedures. The tabloid also spoke with the same source. However, the singer has never confirmed or denied the rumors.
And even if she has gone under the knife, as long as Stefani feels good and confident in her own skin then there shouldn’t be an issue.
