Nene Leakes On Plastic Surgery, 'I Dream of Nene: The Wedding' Star Addresses Rumors
Nene Leakes addressed the recent reports that speculated she underwent plastic surgery in recent months.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star told Huffington Post that she believes because she tried different makeup and wore longer hair extensions, rumors spread that she had work done to improve her looks. Leakes' recent photos she shared on Twitter after her June 22 wedding to Gregg Leakes caused speculation that she had a face lift.
"I'm thinking, 'A face lift, really?'" Leakes said of the reports. "I'm in my early 40s. I don't need a face lift. Honey, I am black, and I don't need a face lift."
She told the website that she is not, however, opposed to getting procedures after age 60.
"I believe in a nip tuck," she said. "I believe you should always look good or however you feel. Whatever makes you feel great."
She then confessed that she underwent plastic surgery in the past but it wasn't on her face, but further south on her body. She confirmed she had work done on her breasts.
"I don't want breasts that hang down. I want them to say hello," Leakes confessed. "And I bought them. If I had a face lift, I would say it."
Leakes admitted to getting work done in previous interviews.
The I Dream of Nene star told People in October 2010 about the amount of work she had done to help her slim down to a size 8-10. She told the magazine that in April of that year she got a nose job, smaller breast implants and a lift, as well as liposuction around her waist.
"I'm very comfortable and confident in myself. I just wanted a tune up," Leakes told the publication at the time. "I still wanted to look like NeNe, the black woman that I am," she says, "but a better version."
She reportedly once told Wendy Williams, "I gotta tell you, I like that liposuction now! I really like it and I would go back when I need it again."
