Brooks Nader is opening up about the beauty enhancements and industry pressures that have shaped her life in the spotlight. In a newly published interview, the 28-year-old model spoke frankly about the cosmetic procedures she’s undergone over the years and how body standards in the modeling world influenced some of those decisions.
Brooks Nader shared that she has experimented with what she described as “countless injectables” as well as a nose job, joking that the latter has occasionally prompted comparisons to a pop icon. “People say I look like Michael Jackson,” she quipped, acknowledging the scrutiny that often accompanies cosmetic work.
The model also revealed that she wears veneers designed by high-profile cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Apa. Known for transforming celebrity smiles, Apa’s dental makeovers are often priced upwards of $50,000 for a full set.
In addition to injectables and dental enhancements, Brooks Nader said she has tried specialized procedures including the viral “salmon sperm facial” and a “Nefertiti” Botox lift, a technique targeting the neck and jawline. She admitted that her willingness to try new treatments has become somewhat of a holiday tradition. “Every Christmas, you can catch me looking like Freddy Krueger,” she joked, referring to post-procedure swelling and redness.
The model also spoke openly about her use of GLP-1 drugs medications widely discussed in recent months due to their association with rapid weight loss. Brooks Nader said she was prompted to consider the treatment after repeatedly being told to lose weight for modeling jobs.
“If I didn’t get a job, I would say to [my old agency], ‘Can we get feedback from the client?’” she recalled. “The direct feedback was I needed to lose 30 pounds.”
Rather than responding emotionally, Nader approached the instructions as a professional requirement. “I didn’t shed one tear over it. I don’t feel bad for myself. I just say, ‘The facts are they want me to lose weight. How can I achieve that?’”
She emphasized that her comments were not meant to endorse the practice, but said it did influence her career trajectory. “The facts are that when I started GLP-1, my career took off. I’m not saying it’s OK. I’m not saying it’s right,” she said. “I think everybody is different but I lost 30 pounds, and I booked all the jobs.”
Nader’s candor arrives amid a broader cultural shift, as more public figures disclose their cosmetic procedures rather than evade the topic. Earlier this week, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles revealed she has undergone three cosmetic surgeries, including a breast augmentation. In September, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor detailed her series of post-show procedures, while Khloe Kardashian has also outlined her history of nose surgery, fillers and skin treatments.
Meanwhile, Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner recently drew widespread attention after speaking openly about her second facelift a decision she said she chose to share in hopes of encouraging others to feel comfortable pursuing confidence-boosting options.
As for Nader, her transparency reflects a similar sentiment. By sharing her experiences, she appears to be attempting to normalize honest dialogue around beauty standards in entertainment even when those conversations are complicated.
“Looks like Nader is taking notes and maybe sharing them, too.”
