Cardi B has never been shy about the plastic-surgery procedures [2] she's undergone. In the past, she's talked at length [3] about getting a Brazilian butt lift [4] and later regretting it, and recently, on a new episode of Revolt's "The Jason Lee Show," [5] the rapper got candid about her nose job — and in a bit of a random twist, Kim Kardashian [6] is involved.
Cardi B started by explaining her reasoning behind the various procedures she's had done, clarifying that none of them had come from a place of disliking herself. "If I wanna correct something, if I wanna do a little something-something. . . I'm gonna do it," she told the show's host, Jason Lee. Then she went into more detail on her decision to get a nose job.
"I always felt like I had a big nose," Cardi B said. She considered getting it done long before being in the spotlight, but in 2018, she was advised by a few friends to try an alternative solution: nose filler (often referred to as a "liquid nose job [7]").
"I did fillers on my nose in 2019. And that sh*t f*cked my nose up," she said. Lee then pointed out that dermal filler [8] is typically used to add volume to the face, such as under the eyes and in the lips, and Cardi B confessed to not fully understanding how it worked.
It's worth noting that dermal fillers dissolve [9] after about six to 12 months, which would have returned Cardi B's nose back to its natural state. By that time, in 2020, Cardi B said, she decided to get a rhinoplasty from a plastic surgeon recommended by Kardashian. "I remember the time we were at Kris [Jenner]'s house and Kim gave you a list of people you could call to get help," Lee said. Cardi B responded: "I called a couple of people that she gave me."
The pair concluded that portion of the interview by agreeing that Cardi B shouldn't get anything else done and is now, in her words, perfect.
