Sia Has Gotten Candid About Her Facelift and Liposuction: Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos

2008

A few years after moving to the U.S., Sia released her fourth album, Some People Have Real Problems. It became her first album to chart stateside, reaching No. 26 on the Billboard 200 chart.

2010

Sia started gaining more recognition in mainstream music in 2010 with the release of her fifth album, We Are Born. However, she struggled with her growing fame, as it came with a lack of privacy. The singer began wearing masks to maintain anonymity.

“I just wanted to have a private life,” she told The New York Times. “Once, as my friend was telling me they had cancer, someone came up and asked, in the middle of the conversation, if they could take a photograph with me. You get me? That’s enough, right?”

2014

Sia’s big breakthrough moment came with her hit song “Elastic Heart” in 2013, followed by her 2014 album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. She amped up her face covering, turning those huge wigs into her signature look. In addition to maintaining privacy, the wigs helped prevent people from judging her appearance.

“I don’t want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the internet,” she said on Nightline at the time. “I’ve been writing pop songs for pop stars for a couple of years, and I’ve become friends with them and see what their life is like, and that’s not something I want.”

2016

Sia’s seventh album, This Is Acting, included her first No. 1 single: “Cheap Thrills.”

2019

In 2019, Sia teamed up with Labrinth and Diplo to form the group LSD, and they released their self-titled debut album.

2021

Sia wrote a screenplay for the 2021 musical movie Music. She also directed it and wrote the soundtrack.

October 2023

Sia showed off her facelift at the 2023 Daytime Beauty Awards. Her surgeon, Dr. Talei, told E! News that the key to cosmetic surgery is to keep it looking natural.

“Instead of trying to be creative and make things up, you go back and just learn what people are supposed to look like inside,” he said on the red carpet. “If you know what they’re supposed to look like inside, outside looks normal. Like, beautiful inside, beautiful outside — it’s also natural inside, natural outside. So, you just respect the anatomy and that’s the easiest way to keep people natural.”

December 2023

Sia made another plastic surgery revelation in December 2023, explaining on X that she got liposuction because she was struggling to lose weight after taking a medication that made her put on pounds.

“Please know that I am so lucky to have the resources to change the way I look and that when you see me looking crazy foxy again that I want you to know it did not come from diet and exercise,” she continued. “I want to be truthful about all of my procedures so I don’t contribute to the system that tells us we aren’t enough. I am insecure like most people and being in the public eye gives me anxiety, so I’ve made the choice to alter my appearance for my own confidence issues. Pray for me please! I love you, keep going!”
