Rihanna has mentioned that she is interested in getting a breast lift in the future, but no implants. She wants her breasts “pinned back to her shoulders.” She set the records straight on what she exactly wants. The talented singer also pointed at the one procedure she would never consider getting. According to the talented singer, a BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a popular cosmetic procedure among celebrities, was completely off the table for her. She chimed in, saying that she would rather hit the gym and do squats if she wanted to grow her butt. 

Speculations Around Rihanna’s Plastic Surgery


Rihanna has not publicly acknowledged going under the knife. However, rumors continue to circulate that she has surgically enhanced and corrected some of her features to appear more attractive as per the celebrity beauty standard. Let’s take a look at the cosmetic procedures she allegedly opted for:

  • Rhinoplasty: 

While comparing Rihanna’s current nose with her old pictures, many fans can’t help but speculate that the Umbrella singer got a rhinoplasty or a nose job done to obtain a narrower nose bridge. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the celebrity world. The procedure surgically reshapes the nose by reconstructing the bone and cartilage and aims toward giving it a prominent bridge or a tip. It completely transforms the nose by giving it the desired size, width, and nostrils. 

Has Rihanna Had a Nose Job?

The We Found Love singer is yet to confirm whether she opted for a nose job. But the noticeable changes in the tip and width of her nose over the years have compelled the audience to conclude that she has worked on enhancing her nose aesthetics. Her nose appeared more than natural in the photos from her younger self — a wider nose with larger nostrils. Whereas, looking at her pictures today, one can make out the difference.

  • Breast Augmentation:

Rumors that Rihanna surgically enlarged her breasts first started to spread back in 2013. The procedure aims at enhancing the size of the breast and making it look more perky by inserting silicone implants. 

Has Rihanna Had a Breast Enlargement?

In a public discussion with Interview magazine, Rihanna exclaimed that she is very positive regarding her body image. If she would ever give plastic surgery a thought, it would be about getting her breasts lifted instead of getting them implanted. It is a surgery that pulls the breasts higher on the chest. She candidly said that she wants her breasts to be “pinned back to her shoulders.” The rumor about breast enlargement was finally cleared when the musician said she never yearned for bigger breasts with implants, she only wanted to lift them.

Whether it is about getting her breasts lifted or doing a nose job, fans praised her for being so open about the topic.
