Julia Fox Opens Up About Cosmetic Surgeries She Regrets—And Why She’s Done Seeking Men’s Approval
Riley Carter here, and honestly? The way Julia Fox just dropped her truth about cosmetic surgery feels less like a confession and more like a slow exhale after years of holding your breath. You know that moment when someone finally stops performing for the audience and starts living for themselves? That’s where she is now.
Once known as the muse of the Uncut Gems era—her face practically synonymous with downtown New York’s chaotic glamour—Fox has quietly been redefining herself off-screen. In a candid August 2024 interview with Allure, she admitted she sometimes regrets the surgeries she underwent in her early twenties, not because they look bad, but because they were done for all the wrong reasons. “When I see someone and I can tell they’ve never done anything,” she said, “I wish I could go back and be that person.”
She didn’t shy away from specifics: liposuction, rhinoplasty, veneers—all part of a self-imposed transformation to become “attractive to men so that I could survive.” At 21, she started Botox and fillers, chasing an image that wasn’t hers. Now, at 35, she’s clear on one thing: she doesn’t “have to entertain men anymore.” And no, this isn’t some performative feminist rant—it’s a quiet revolution.
Her son Valentino, now four, is a major anchor in her life. As a pansexual woman who briefly dated Kanye West in 2022, she’s also made peace with the fact that romantic validation isn’t a prerequisite for fulfillment. “The way my life is, I can’t see why a man would be beneficial,” she told Allure. Her focus? Being a good mom, a provider, and a creator. “There’s just so much more you can do with your time than waiting around to see if a guy’s going to text you back or not.”
But here’s the twist: she’s not ruling out future procedures entirely. “I probably will [get more work done one day],” she admits, “but I’m just not as concerned with it right now.” That shift—from obsession to curiosity—is what makes this story so powerful. It’s not about rejecting beauty; it’s about reclaiming agency over it. “Am I going to chase the way I used to look, or am I going to evolve and see what’s on the other side?”
She’s not alone in this journey. E!’s Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind has been spotlighting real-life transformations lately—like the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum reversing under-eye fillers at 18, or the 90 Day Fiancé star shedding massive implants (1,500 cc down to 700 cc) and calling it “one of the most liberating decisions I’ve ever made.” Even Shark Tank’s lifestyle expert, once staunchly against Botox, finally gave in—“About a month ago. They gave me a little.”
It’s not just celebrities either. One Tree Hill’s actress confessed she regrets her breast implants—not because they’re ugly, but because they weren’t truly her choice. The pattern is clear: people are starting to question the narrative that beauty must be earned through surgical edits. And Fox? She’s stepping into the unknown with grace. “It’ll definitely be uncomfortable,” she says, “but I think I’m ready for it.”
Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
