Bella Hadid confirmed she had a nose job when was 14 years old, a decision she now regrets.- During an interview with Vogue on Tuesday, she said she eventually "would have grown" into her nose.

"I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors," the supermodel, whose parents are Yolanda Hadid and Mohamed Hadid, told Vogue Magazine on Tuesday.
She added: "I think I would have grown into it."
Since Bella followed in her older sister Gigi Hadid's footsteps and signed with IMG Models in 2014, she's publicly denied allegations that she surgically altered her facial features.
Speculation that Bella has used filler, gotten a blepharoplasty to lift her eyes, and undergone jaw surgery have proliferated online throughout the years, often accompanied by a photo of the
But aside from the nose job, Bella said she's had no other cosmetic procedures on her face.
"People think I fully fucked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I'm pretty sure you don't look the same now as you did at 13, right? I have never used filler. Let's just put an end to that," Bella told Vogue.
She continued: "I have no issue with it, but it's not for me. Whoever thinks I've gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it's called — it's face tape! The oldest trick in the book."
The California native previously brushed off chatter about cosmetic procedures during an interview with InStyle Magazine in 2018.
"People think I got all this surgery or did this or that. And you know what? We can do a scan of my face, darling. I'm scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn't want to mess up my face," she told the publication.
Her mother Yolanda doubled down the following year in an Instagram post, telling her followers that none of her children — not Gigi, Bella, nor Anwar Hadid — have "done fillers or Botox or put anything foreign in their bodies."
As a result of conversations surrounding Bella's appearance and people who have made her feel like she "didn't deserve" her success, she told Vogue she's developed a case of "imposter syndrome."
But according to Bella, who has openly discussed her mental health struggles, the sensation is nothing new. The supermodel said she's always been "misunderstood," both inside and outside of the fashion industry.
From a young age, she said she fielded comparisons to Gigi, born just 18 months before her.
"I was the uglier sister. I was the brunette. I wasn't as cool as Gigi, not as outgoing," she told Vogue, continuing, "That's really what people said about me. And unfortunately when you get told things so many times, you do just believe it."
The criticism stayed with Bella as she built her own career, leading her to question why she, a self-described "girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety," was subjecting herself to the cutthroat modeling world.
"Over the years I became a good actress. I put on a very smiley face, or a very strong face. I always felt like I had something to prove," Bella said.
"People can say anything about how I look, about how I talk, about how I act. But in seven years I never missed a job, canceled a job, was late to a job. No one can ever say that I don't work my ass off."
