Patti Labelle comments on her nose job

#jaiyeorie

Patti LaBelle publicly spoke about her nose job on The Breakfast Club show — what she regretted, why she did it, and how she reflects on it now:

🎤

1. She admits having the surgery

Patti has confirmed that she did have a nose job. She has stated that at the time she believed her nose was “too big,” and that this operation was the only surgery she’s ever had on her face or body.

She felt the pressure of being on TV and worried that a bigger nose would look worse on screen. 

Also, seeing her friend Stephanie Mills get her nose done played a role — she saw it in person and thought, “maybe I could try that.” 

She also has said that a manager in her early days said hurtful things about her appearance, including her nose, which added to her feelings of insecurity. 

Patti has said, looking back, she would tell her younger self not to worry about how her nose looked, and to accept it as it was. 

She’s expressed that although her nose was “bigger,” it was “fine” before she changed it — the issue was her own perception and self-criticism. 

Beyond regret, she frames it more as a learning moment about self-acceptance. 

She doesn’t appear to regret the surgery as a whole (in that she doesn’t deny having done it), but she does wish that she had had more self-confidence back then.
