Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima, who is called one of the most beautiful women on the planet, has faced accusations of abusing plastic surgery in recent years. Together with a cosmetologist, we figure out how the Victoria’s Secret angel improved her appearance.
The supermodel spent the entire year of 2024 fighting off attacks on her appearance. The thing is that Adriana Lima’s fans are convinced that she has become overly carried away by plastic surgeries, which is why she has lost her zest.
The Brazilian woman herself, who became a mother for the third time in 2022, denies all the accusations. In 2023, she even posted a photo without makeup to prove the absence of any surgical intervention. “This is the face of a tired mother of one teenage girl, two almost teenagers, one active boy, a one-year-old who is learning to walk, and three dogs… Thank you for caring,” Adriana Lima wrote.
Is this really true? We askeddermatocosmetologist, founder of the aesthetic cosmetology clinic LuA.Clinic Maria Arkashina, what plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures did the Victoria’s Secret angel undergo?
What happened to Adriana Lima’s face: what plastic surgeries did the model have
Forehead
You can’t fight age: the forehead area will start to become covered with expression lines and creases over time. At 43, not every woman has a perfectly smooth forehead like Lima’s, so it can be assumed that the model undergoes regular botulinum therapy procedures.
Lips
If you look at childhood or teenage photos of the model, it is immediately clear: the girl has plump lips by nature. However, natural volume is not enough to make lips look sexy. Perhaps Adriana Lima had a procedure to moisturize them or increase them with a filler based on hyaluronic acid ( read also: Very sensual: stars with the most beautiful lips ).
Cheekbones and cheeks
The Brazilian also worked on the middle third of her face: either contouring with hyaluronic acid fillers or vector lifting. The procedure is performed both for volume correction and for lifting.
Leather
The absence of wrinkles, radiant skin, an even complexion and the absence of swelling are the results of a cosmetologist’s work. The quality of the skin can be improved using various hardware techniques: regular photorejuvenation procedures give a Photoshop effect, IPL therapy, like an eraser, erases all the imperfections from the face – spider veins, pigmentation. With the help of biopreparations that increase collagen synthesis and reduce oxidative stress, specialists worked with skin turgor ( read also: A highlight, not a defect: 11 models and actresses with a gap between their teeth ).
Eyes
The periorbital area also looks gorgeous. The wide-open and fresh look, the absence of “crow’s feet” indicate that the model injects Botox in this area as well. You can also work with the eye area using some techniques for lifting the outer corner of the eyebrows, thanks to which the look becomes more expressive and a little playful.
Under eye area
In the area under the eyes, the nasolacrimal groove was most likely corrected. The procedure restores volume and gives the effect of rested eyes, as it camouflages the bruises under the eyes, the cosmetologist believes.
Body
Keeping yourself in perfect shape is the duty of a supermodel. When training in the gym is not enough or gives a slow effect, the deft hand of a cosmetologist comes into play. The cosmetologist is sure that Adriana Lima uses all sorts of methods to always look fit and toned. She works with the quality of the body and carries out general health procedures. The issue becomes especially acute after pregnancy – being a mother of three children and at the same time watching your figure is not so easy.
