Riding a recent wave of plastic surgery confessionals, Debbie Harry confessed that cosmetic surgery was “necessary” for her career as an entertainer.
“As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself,” the Blondie singer, 80, told Vanity Fair.
“Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident,” the hitmaker added, explaining that plastic surgery “was just something that I felt necessary at the time.”
“I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz,” she said. “If you’re going to be in the business, be in it.”
When asked about the pressure of looking “good” in the entertainment industry, the “Heart of Glass” singer also said the topic of cosmetic surgery now comes up at a younger age.
“It’s not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they’re 10, 11 years old,” she said.
“God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.”
The golden-haired singer’s candid confession comes amid a spate of celebrity plastic surgery tell-alls.
On Monday, Khloe Kardashian, 41, took to the comments thread of a reel by Dr. Jonathan Betteridge in which he speculated about what cosmetic procedures and surgeries she might have undergone.
The Good American co-founder replied with a detailed list of her procedures, including a nose job and her infamous salmon sperm facials.
On June 2, cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner, 27, shared the exact details of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user requested information on the “most perfect, natural boob job ever.”
The mom of two replied in the comments thread, “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!”
Meanwhile, mom Kris Jenner, 69, took to the comments thread of a June 4 Instagram post by Kylie’s surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, to share her own experience with him.
“Garth you are a superstar class act!!” Kris commented after the physician gushed via Instagram that he was “honored to be acknowledged by Kylie.”
“You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it’s like and not be afraid,” the reality TV star divulged.
The momager added, “You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!! ❤️🙏🏼.”
Fans are loving Kris’ makeover so much that they’re saying she resembles her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A rep for the reality icon confirmed to Page Six in May that Dr. Steven Levine of New York was responsible for her youthful look.
Also in June, “Honestly Cavallari” star Kristin Cavallari, 38, took to an Instagram Stories Q&A to share her breast augmentation specs after a fan asked “What size🍈 did you get?” and called her their “boob-spiration.”
