Lana Del Rey has come on the music scene from nowhere, and poised to be the next celebrity sensation people are already asking if she has had any cosmetic enhancements. Del Rey is a singer from New York with songs like “Video Games” that have garnered her a good deal of attention.
However, despite her rise from the trailer park, as she says that’s where she lived previously, there has been a lot of speculation about the singer’s lips.
They seem fuller now, almost too much, and lots of bloggers have suspected that Lana Del Rey has had lip surgery to improve her pout.
Has Lana Had Cosmetic Surgery?
While discussions of lips often involve other starlets such as Scarlett Johansson, Ms. Del Rey is making her own ripples in the area. Those who believe the rumors claim that it’s entirely possible she’s received lip injections like collagen to add volume, and these are considered non-surgical procedures.
On the other hand it isn’t impossible that she’s lip implants like softform or fat grafting to give her lips that softer, fuller look that she has when she sings.
On the other hand several people have put the question to the singer herself, and while no one has made any claims, Del Rey has vehemently denied that she’s had any work done on herself at all:
“I’m sorry, but I was living in a trailer park for a few years. I didn’t even have enough money to buy Cocoa Puffs. It’s not like I crawled from under the bridge and got surgery,” Del Rey said in an interview with Complex.
Of course, as with pictures of other celebrities, there are clear differences that fans are looking to fill with explanations.
While Del Rey herself may deny that there’s been any sort of surgery, there are very noticeable differences in some pictures from her early career and pre-fame and the way she looks now in interviews and appearances.
And given that it isn’t unusual for young and beautiful celebrities to turn to surgery to improve their looks, that’s one of the first places that fans turn to for an explanation as to what’s going on with Del Ray’s looks.

Judging by the before and after photos which circulate widely on the web, you can't help but notice that Del Rey appears a totally different person compared to what she looked like.
When Lana was asked by reporters about her plastic surgery procedures, she denied having any work done.
To be more exact, firing back claims about plastic surgery, Del Rey told Complex: "I haven't had anything done at all. Anyone who's known me will tell you that. I'm sorry, but I was living in a trailer park for a few years. I didn't even have enough money to buy Cocoa Puffs. It's not like I crawled from under the bridge and got surgery. I'm quite pouty. That's just how I look when I sing."
As for her lips being fake, Lana confessed to T magazine: "They're real lips, I mean. In real life my lips don't look that big. I think because I cartoonized the footage of myself in the video for "Video Games" things look exaggerated."
Celebrity watchers and gossip websites estimate, based on the comparison of before and after pictures, that Del Rey has undeniably had work done on her lips, insisting her new pout could be a result of lip implants.
The question is: "What plastic surgeons reveal about Lana Del Rey's plastic surgery?"
Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer was quoted as saying: "It does appear that Lana Del Rey has enhanced her pout with some type of dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. They are a bit overfilled and disproportionate to her other facial features."
NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Sterry revealed to "In Touch Weekly" : "It looks like she had an entire syringe of Juvederm put in the upper lip."
On the other hand, celebrity plastic surgeon in New York City Dr. David Shafer doesn't seem to agree with the previous statements... "Some people just have large lips. It's hard to see a difference from the historical photos, so likely not injections", Dr. David Shafer told.
Of course, there are people like Dr. David Shafer who think Lana is 100% natural, claiming that Lana's naturally full lips are accentuated or downplayed with lipstick and gloss according to her mood.
The truth is that lip augmentation is very popular among young women looking for a sensual pout while others are born with large lips.
To conclude, the majority of plastic surgeons speculate that in spite of a lip augmentation, Lana might also have gotten some injectables to her face and a nose job as well...
