Selena Gomez Responds To Plastic Surgery Speculation After A TikToker Discusses Her Facial Transformation: ‘Leave Me Alone’

Selena Gomez has addressed a viral TikTok video that discusses the alleged “changes” in her facial appearance over the years amidst ongoing rumors and speculations about plastic surgery. Over the weekend, the Rare Beauty mogul, 32, left a comment on a video posted by Marissa Barrionuevo, a plastic surgery physician assistant at Farber Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton, Florida.

This resurfaced post, originally shared in April 2023, recently gained widespread attention. In the clip, Barrionuevo responds to a request from a commenter asking her to break down the evolution of Gomez’s facial features and to speculate on the possible cosmetic procedures and treatments the “Love On” singer might have undergone.

In the video, Barrionuevo pulled up two photos of the Only Murders in the Building actress and placed them side-by-side for comparison. One was from the 2010s and the other was taken during her red carpet appearance at the 2023 Golden Globes. The TikTok creator refrained from guessing about any work Gomez might have undergone, emphasizing that the “Hands to Myself” hitmaker has “been through so much in her life, especially medically-related.”

Though Barrionuevo uploaded the video more than a year ago, it appears that Gomez only discovered it recently, as she left a comment on the upload earlier this week. In her response, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum candidly disclosed the cosmetic procedures she has undergone but expressed her disdain for videos that analyze her looks.

“Honestly I hate this. I was on stripes because of flare up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone,” Gomez wrote beneath Barrionuevo’s original video. The physician’s assistant subsequently posted a follow-up video, featuring a screenshot of Gomez’s comment, where she extended her apologies to the actress. “I really hope Selena Gomez does not hate me,” Barrionuevo said in her July 27th post.

The TikToker also explained that she “agrees” with Gomez that people should “leave [her] alone” when it comes to input about her face. Barrionuevo also said she believes that Gomez doesn’t “owe it to anyone to tell us why you don’t look the same as when you did when you were a teenager or in your 20s.”
