Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shares She’s Undergoing Cosmetic Surgery
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Announces She’s Getting Cosmetic Surgery
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is experiencing a season of change.
In addition to breaking up with husband Ryan Anderson, the 32-year-old—who was released from prison in December—revealed she’s undergoing a rhinoplasty, a procedure she’s always wanted.
“I’m going through a personal transformation journey currently and that includes a physical one, too,” Gypsy told People in a statement published April 4. “Wish me luck with my surgery and watch the whole thing this summer on Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up.”
While she’s nervous about going under the knife, close friend Nadiya Vizier explained that Gypsy is looking forward to having a “more feminine-looking nose.” As she put it, “She just wants to fix it up.”
Her pal also pushed back on criticism Gypsy faced with her recent decisions.
“People need to let her live, let her experience, if they know that she’s doing something good or wrong, let her experience that,” Nadiya explained. “Let her learn from it. I feel like, in a way, people are still trying to control her.”
Her upcoming surgery isn’t the only cosmetic change she’s made. A month after being released from prison after serving seven years for her involvement in the death of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, Gypsy decided to shake things up with a new hairstyle.

“It’s never too late to start reinventing yourself, even if it is something subtle like a new hairstyle,” Gypsy wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post in January debuting the ‘do. “Enjoy life, express yourself in whatever creative ways that may make you happy.”
It was liberating for Gypsy to take control of her looks, especially since her mother previously forced her to shave her head for a false cancer diagnosis. She explained, “For me, not having hair was really hard on my self-esteem.”

“I have actual abs,” she told People in an interview published March 21. “I have lines on my stomach that I haven’t had since before I got pregnant. I think any mother knows after kids the elasticity of your skin will never be the same.”
Brittany Cartwright
The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the new Bravo series.

“I’ve never had any work-work done, but I went through a phase when I was smoking pot when I was really obsessed with getting facial injections,” the “Born This Way” singer told radio host Howard Stern in 2013. “I was going to this strip mall in Chicago in the back…Everybody was like, ‘You are a nut job.’…I’m telling you, I wasn’t exactly in the best frame of mind, and I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, ‘Oh, let’s go see my girl’ and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvéderm, and then leave.”
She continued, “Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the ‘Applause’ video, [a photographer friend] was like, ‘Gaga, I love you but if you don’t stop injecting s–t in your face I’m going to just kill you.'”

“I really, genuinely care about looking good,” the SKKN founder told Allure for its August 2022 issue. “I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”

During an Instagram Stories Q&A on Aug. 23, the reality TV star didn’t shy away from answering a fan’s question about her boobs. “Gonna keep it real with y’all,” Kristin began her response. “Got a lift after breast feeding all 3 kids.”
While The Hills alum isn’t opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she’s “never done” Botox.
“It’s not for me. But I’ve seen it look amazing on some people,” she wrote. “My concern is that we don’t know the long term effects of it (and I don’t mean 5-10 years, I mean like 20 years) and I think your face is muscle, so we need to work it out the same way we would any other muscle.”
