Did Naomi Campbell have plastic surgery?
Fans of the model note that she still looks great. Time seemed to have barely touched her. Naomi is in great physical shape, she is still beautiful and elegant. In the fashion world, Campbell is known as a person with impeccable taste. She is not afraid to experiment with her appearance. She appeared in feathers and fringe, her outfits sparkled with rhinestones. The star loves to shine the most, so she often chooses dresses with sparkling trim.
Naomi has never hidden that she loves wigs. At the same time, she does not hesitate to wear them not only at fashion shows but also in everyday life. It is known that wigs at some point became a salvation for the star. The fact is that by nature she has very weak and brittle hair, which is constantly split and falling out. Naomi tries not to be photographed by journalists without bright makeup and a wig.
The press often wrote that the model resorted to the services of plastic surgeons. Fans noticed that the girl’s facial features became more subtle. No one knows what caused the changes in the appearance of the star – plastic surgery, or time. Naomi herself did not comment on the rumors.
Some believe that she has undergone many plastic surgeries: rhinoplasty, facelift, blepharoplasty, and liposuction.
If you look at the photo of Naomi in her youth and now, it is obvious that the plump lips and the shape of the eyes have not changed.
But, most likely, Naomi Campbell had a nose job. After rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose became much narrower.
Throughout Naomi Campbell’s career, no noticeable changes in her figure have been observed, so rumors about liposuction are most likely fiction.
