Since her debut in 2008, Katy Perry's appearance has undergone noticeable changes. However, the singer recently denied having any cosmetic surgery in an interview with Refinery29.
"I haven't had any. I've done lasers and got [filler] injections under my eyes for the hollowing—which I'd recommend for everyone who wants a solution for their dark circles—but all of my assets are real. People tend to think they are fake, but it doesn't really matter," Perry explained.
In fact, she supports cosmetic surgery if it boosts someone's self-esteem. Perry emphasized that it's important to be your authentic self but added, "If someone wants a nose job that makes them feel better, and they love their profile more because of it, it's like 'Go ahead!' Do whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Stay in therapy, but get it, girl."
During the interview, Perry also touched on Instagram culture and its impact on society. She expressed her concerns about the pressure to conform to an image-driven society, stating, "A lot of us are living for that picture, and then the currency is the 'like.' It's hard because I'd rather not care about that and just live my life. We buy clothing and products or pose a certain way or go to an event to get a picture—it's not good for us as a society."
Regarding her own appearance, Perry has sported the same bleach-blonde severe pixie haircut for over a year, which has boosted her confidence. She shared, "Cutting my hair meant I didn't have to hide behind it. My face really stands out [now], and I actually feel a lot prettier with my short hair. I've really gotten to know my face better."
Perry has also focused on maintaining healthy skin through a strict skincare routine. She revealed her struggles with acne in her early 20s but found success with Proactiv cleanser, which she has been using for 10 years. Perry emphasized that it has been incredible for her skin and has prevented breakouts.
Additionally, she has improved her overall well-being by making dietary changes. Perry has reduced her consumption of high-sugar comfort foods, like McDonald's ice cream, which used to be her favorite. She shared, "In the past year, I've eaten better than I have ever eaten—less fast food, less sugar—and the sustainability of my body is so much better. My face just glows."
Through her journey, Katy Perry has embraced self-care practices and emphasized the importance of feeling confident and comfortable in one's own skin.
