Ireland Baldwin has spoken openly about why she underwent minimally invasive cosmetic surgery after receiving backlash at such a young age for changing her face.
In a new Instagram video posted Tuesday afternoon, the 26-year-old model explained that last week she underwent a “hour-long in-office procedure” called FaceTite, which doesn’t require anesthesia.
“You’re not going under the knife. Nothing like that. The reason I got it done was because I had this very stubborn fat buildup and extra skin on my face,” she told her more than 691,000 followers.

Before her haters could tell her to just “diet and exercise,” she explained that even though she had “a bunch of eating disorders” and was “scary thin,” she still had “that chin.”
“As I’ve gained weight and I’ve gotten older, it hasn’t gone away at all. It’s only gotten worse,’ she explained. “I’m scared of anesthesia and plastic surgery.”
As she looked at her options for addressing her biggest insecurity, she said she was looking for the “most age-appropriate and minimally invasive option.”

The bombshell also addressed how hypocritical it is for people to get mad at celebrities for being honest about doing their jobs.
“You all are such a riot. let’s talk a little So you have to choose one. Either you get mad at people who aren’t open and transparent about the work they’ve done to themselves. Or you get mad at people for letting them do the work. You don’t have both.
She continued, “I choose to be so open and transparent about things like this because I don’t want to be misleading… I never use filters here. I have had no other modifications made to my body or face.’

WHAT IS FACETITE?
Facetite can deliver mini-facelift-like results without the associated scarring, downtime, and expense.
It is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation in the office’s treatment room with only two to five days of downtime.
The results are immediately visible and continue to improve over a period of 6 to 12 months.

This allows Dr. Kim safely deliver energy that permanently destroys fat cells while tightening the skin of the lower face and neck.

It comes after Ireland shared a candid post about being in the “most liberating mental headspace” since she packed up and left Los Angeles for the Oregon coast, where she now resides with musician boyfriend RAC.
Inspired by an Instagram message Camila Cabello wrote last week, Ireland penned a lengthy post detailing everything from her own body image struggles to toxic online behavior and mental health.
She said: “As I’m a bad b**** and now that I’m sick of people f*cking on the internet I know of course the Heat will never cease to exist. I know the more I put myself out there, the more people will find reasons to pick me apart. But that’s okay!!’
She added: “Obviously I’m nowhere near as famous as Camilla but I relate to every word of her post. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been called some version of fat, ugly, worthless and irrelevant by grown adults on the internet.’
Ireland has been open about its fight against eating disorders in the past, saying it is “sad and pathetic” that people tear others apart online, particularly “women who do this to other women”.
“I’ve spent far too many years starving myself, eating, cleaning, measuring, stepping on the scale, spitting food into my purse, and wrecking my whole body because some troll told me I will never be as thin and beautiful as my mother. ‘

Ireland said that despite having her “bad days”, she loves food “romantically” and is proud of her body the way it is.
“Sure, I have my insecurities,” she continued. “I know a lot of you are happy to assume that I’m stuffed with lip fillers, breast implants and botox, but while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with all of those things, I’m not, but HELL! All you had to do was ask!’
She noted she would try an “in-office procedure” to see if it helped with her insecurity around her chin, and she was “shameless” about the procedure.
“And the most glorious part is that I don’t post revealing pics, get treatment, and fuck some shit for any of you guys. It’s everything to me,’ she said.
