Iggy Azalea graced the cover of Seventeen magazine’s September 2015 issue and in her spread she opens up about getting plastic surgery. If you’ve seen her in the past few months, this may not come as a shocker, there have been many visible changes to her face, especially.
On her recent nose job Iggy says, “I’m not denying it. Denying it is lame. I don’t think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I’ve spoken about the changes I’ve made, like with my breasts.”
Iggy goes on to give teens advice on plastic surgery, urging them not to rush into it. “Your perception of yourself can change a lot over time,” she explains, “so I think it’s important to wait and make sure it’s the right choice. I read a lot about nose jobs online. Some women are really happy they got them, and some women changed their noses when they were younger, and when they got older they wished they didn’t.”
Iggy also advises that surgery is much more than a physical change, “Plastic surgery is an emotional journey,” Iggy says. “It’s no easy feat to live with your flaws and accept yourself—and it’s no easy feat to change yourself. Either way you look at it, it’s a tough journey. There are things that I didn’t like about myself that I changed through surgery. There are other things I dislike but I’ve learned to accept.”
Lastly, when it comes to getting work done, know your limits. “It’s important to remember you can’t change everything,” says Iggy. “You can never be perfect.”
