YouTube Stars Admit to Plastic Surgery: Tana Mongeau and More

Honesty hour! YouTube stars like Tana Mongeau, James Charles, Jordyn Woods and more have openly talked — and posted videos — about plastic surgery.

Makeup artist James said he’s “very open” about procedures he’s had done. He talked about getting lip filler and Botox during a sit-down with model Naomi Campbell for her “No Filter” series in October 2020.

“I don’t have too much of it, but for me, my dad has literally the worst forehead wrinkles you could literally imagine on anybody ever,” the New York native explained at the time. “So, for me, my Botox was very much just preventative, because my dad and I have a very, very similar face.”

Although the iconic supermodel worried the makeup vlogger was “too young” for Botox, James insisted he’s being as careful as possible. “There’s not a lot in there, I promise,” he assured. “I can definitely still move everything around, so we’re very, very good.”

“Literally when I first got it, I was like, ‘Listen, girl, I don’t want any wrinkles but I need to be able to move my eyebrows. And if I’m frozen, we’re going to have a problem,’” he dished about his first experience with injectables. James is an advocate for going under the knife, but he noted he has no intention of going “overboard.”

Of course, being in the public eye, James receives questions about his appearance all the time. He responded to plastic surgery speculation after he jokingly tweeted in May 2020 about getting an “ass reduction.”

“It has come to my attention that people actually believed that my surgery yesterday was an ass reduction. Baby … I would never get rid of this thicker than a Snicker juicy caboose,” he later clarified.

James isn’t the only YouTuber who has faced questions about going under the knife. Jaclyn Hill has received shady comments from fans claiming her appearance has changed through the years. In November 2019, she responded to those wondering.

“Well … this year I have gone from 130 lbs [to] 155 lbs. Also, my nose filler, under eye filler [and] Botox have basically all worn off. So, my face DEFINITELY looks different,” she tweeted at the time.

Tana Mongeau

Tana has been open about getting injectables and Botox through the years and even shared a YouTube video of herself getting cheek and lip filler by Joanna the Nurse.
In a 2016 video, the Las Vegas native revealed she went under the knife to correct a deviated septum in her nose after suffering from breathing problems and nose bleeds. While some people accused her of getting a full-on rhinoplasty, she claimed she did not change the shape of her nose.
Tana also addressed speculation about a getting a breast augmentation in 2017. “I’ve been getting asked [so much] lately if my boobs [are] fake, and they aren’t like THANK U,” she tweeted at the time.

Jaclyn Hill

The makeup guru spoke about why she gets filler in her nose via Twitter in 2018.
“Girl, I’m so open about it! No shade at all! My sister broke my nose when I was 13, so it was crooked AF!!!!” the Florida native tweeted at the time. “So, I had the right side of it filled and it makes it look straighter. I’m too puss to get a nose job so this is my life now.”

Gabbie Hanna

Gabbie Hanna posted a video titled, “I Got a Nose Job!!! (Not Clickbait),” in April 2017 detailing her rhinoplasty.
“I am a Middle Eastern woman and it represents my ethnicity and it looks like the other noses in my family,” she explained at the time. “And I’m proud to be a Lebanese woman, and I don’t want to change that about myself. So I don’t want to make my nose smaller, and I don’t think I’ll ever make my nose smaller.”
“However, I would like it if my nose was straight,” she continued about her reason for getting facial surgery. “’I’m sure you guys always notice: I always film to my left, everything. And it’s because this side I like — I like the shape and everything. And this side, it’s collapsed.”

Jordyn Woods

Jordyn closed her signature tooth gap in 2019. This shocked fans because the California native previously said in 2017 she would “not fix [her] gap to blend in with society.”
“I never disliked my smile or anything — I wanted to try something new and I found the doctor that I trusted,” the fitness babe told Refinery29 after closing her front teeth. “It may take a second for people to get used to it, but life is about evolving. It was a bittersweet thing. I wouldn’t say it’s better or anything — it’s just the new version of me.”

Huda Kattan

“I did my nose and my breasts together because I had breast-fed and felt ashamed to show them to my husband,” Huda Kattan said during an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2019. The beauty mogul has also previously talked about getting filler in her cheeks, face and lips on her YouTube channel.
