Ariane Grande Transformation
Ariana Grande first walked gracefully into the spotlight on Broadway in the musical “13,” at the tender young age of 15. She stayed in showbiz and landed a role as a Nickelodeon star on the show “Victorious,” from 2010 to 2013. She was a young teen at the time, and it shows. Her curly brown hair and chubby cheeks gave her a cutesy look.
Over the years, Ariana Grande's face has transformed a bit. Her cherub-like features have now become a gorgeous visage that adorns billboards and products around the world. The big question on many people's minds is whether that transformation was entirely natural.
While the feminist pop icon isn’t revealing if she has or has not had cosmetic surgery, we have some Ariana Grande before and after pics that will help you make your own conclusions.

Ariana Grande as a teen is a far cry from the fierce queen we know today. Look at those huge, brown eyes, that adorable smile, and of course, the iconic left dimple. There’s no question that this is natural Ariana.

As a sixteen-year-old, Ariana Grande’s face didn’t really change much from her debut on Broadway. Other than a change in hair colour, she still looks like the same Ariana, with full cheeks and a nose that seems a bit wider than it is today. However, most people undergo massive facial changes when transitioning from teenagers to adults.

Just shy of 17, Ariana Grande seems to have discovered how to use makeup to accentuate her natural features. Her cheeks don’t seem as full as they used to, but that could just be Ari growing up.

Ariana now suddenly looks a bit more familiar. Her face shape has changed significantly and has become a bit more angular. But is that the result of plastic surgery, or has Ari just started to mature physically?
March 31 2012
At the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in 2012, Ariana Grande definitely looks a lot different from her fifteen-year-old self. Her eyes look a bit narrower, as well as her face being thinner in general, but that could just be a result of puberty coming to an end.

With Ariana growing out of her teen years, it's no surprise that she looks a lot more like an adult now. Her lips look a lot plumper than before, which could indicate that lip injections have been used. Her eyes seem to have taken a different shape, so that could be a sign of some work being done on her eyelids.

The 21-year-old Ariana Grande showed up at the MTV EMA awards in Glasgow with a slightly thinner nose. Her lips are also nice and plump with a small increase in size. Couple those with the fact that her eyebrows look like they might have been worked on, and you begin to understand why people think that she might not be all natural.
Of course, makeup and contouring have a lot to do with Ari's look, but could there have been an Ariana Grande nose job?
February 8 2015
We can see in more detail that her nose is definitely thinner than what it was in 2008. Her lips are also definitely fuller too.
February 15 2016
In 2016, Ariana Grande looks very similar to what we know her as today. Her makeup makes it difficult to determine if her face has actually been altered, but the iconic Ariana look is in full swing.
December 2018
The difference in appearance between Ari now and in 2008 is pretty huge but could potentially be explained by puberty. With that said there are some very telling indications of some artificial help.
Regardless, whether or not she has had surgery done, she's still the pop feminist queen, and she still looks stunning.
