.
Reported by April Taylor
Patti LaBelle recently told “Access Hollywood” that she regrets having plastic surgery done to reshape her nose. LaBelle stated during the interview that it is the only plastic surgery she has ever had done on her face or body and that if she could go back in time and have a conversation with her younger self, she would tell her not to have an issue with the way she looked.
LaBelle added that she felt her nose was too big. She made the following statement: “I was beating up myself for the way my nose looked and my nose was fine before I changed it, but it was my way of thinking that once I got on TV it’s gonna look bigger.” LaBelle also stated that she wishes she would have just embraced being herself.
LaBelle is an award winning singer who has been in the music industry for more than five decades. She spent 16 years as the lead singer of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles.

She is considered one of the pioneers of the disco movement and is listed on Rolling Stones magazine’s 100 Greatest Singers List. Her musical influence has impacted a wide range of artists including Luther Vandross, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, and Whitney Houston.

I think Patti’s nose job looks good. There is never anything wrong with accepting yourself but, if you want to change a little here and there it is okay too.
I think any surgery she has had has enhanced her appearance.

You know it’s funny i remember when sister Patty got that nose job…Some cultural friends were offended….They felt that she didn’t love her African features…I think this is coming out because of the new acceptance movement that is going on with African women,,,This movement seems to be spear headed by Lupida and a few of the dark skinned fashion models.I’m glad our women are beginning to wake up…..I just wish that we wouldn’t wait until we get the thumbs up from other people (whites and the white media) to love ourselves.

Beginning to wake up? I was 20 years old when the Black is Beautiful movement was prevalent. That was 40 years ago. Natural hair, dark skin and negroid features were all embraced. Predictably, it did not last. Now sistah’s have to have that weave and Jet and Ebony have gone back to featuring only light-skinned sisters with straight hair and Euro features. Beginning to wake up? No – we had it and surrendered it.

Why do you generalize white people? I am a white man and I didn’t need a thumbs-up from anyone to find the features of African-descended women to be very attractive, whether they are on Patti Labelle, Serena Williams or Vanessa Williams.

I’m a man that have been question in my pass about my choice in women. I love a beautiful woman, but I do look at certain thing on a woman to encourage my choosing of her. I wish more women would accept themselves, including men to help more of us to be accepted by us. Blacks in particular, and mainly black women are having a hard time accepting themselves and admiring the black man. Seeing pictures of Ms Patti earlier days; I would have rather seen her with her noise before surgery. She’s a beautiful woman over all.

I’m with you jboogie. I liked Patti with her natural hair, dark skin and black nose! I wish black women would learn to love themselves as God made them. There’s not a more “messed around” (aesthetically altered)woman on the face of the Earth than the African American woman.

I don’t blam Patti. She looked good before, and she looks good afterwards. It was her choice and she did what she thought was best for her at the time. I am 59 years old and if I feel that I need a little nip and tuck I am going to get it. I don’t want look 20 or 30, I just want to look as good as I can for my age.

@Daisy, ITA, I see nothing at all wrong with her enhancing her look and marketability via cosmetic surgery.
For those saying, “It’s too bad she wasn’t happy with what God gave her” well, she was, she just enhanced it.
Further, I wonder if Black women who make that statement have NEVER straightened their hair with even a pressing comb, not to mention a perm. Altering the texture of ones hair with even a hot comb would NOT allow it to remain as “God gave it to her”
Patty, you look good and I wish you every happiness.

I like the way Ms. Patti looks. If it made her feel good at the time about herself then who are we to judge. I guess as one blogger put it that a lot of attention has been about Ms. Lupita’s unique looks and has been recognized for her African beauty, it hasn’t always been that way. Just ask a sista, OK! If Ms. Patti didn’t feel good in her own skin as an African American woman who had a rather large nose perhaps she did what she needed to do to survive in this culturely divisive World we live in. However, I must say as an African American woman that if I didn’t wear a wig to these interviews, I really believe that I would not have gotten some jobs. Case in point, the military right now is dictating how African American women should not wear a certain type of braid. The Caucasian race needs to embrace ALL cultures, ethnicities and religion that’s what America is suppose to be an all- inclusive society. Be a representative and recognized as an example to other foreign countries. So you brothers out there, please don’t judge us too harshly because what us sistas have to go thru ain’t cute to be accepted in a predominately White community. Believe that!

Patti — native daughter of Pennsylvania — is a beautiful woman and an extraordinary singer — before and after the nose job. I loved her music “back in the day”, and I still love her music!
May you live long and well, Miss LaBelle!

Patti’s new nose still looks like an African nose — just smaller.

The prevalence of nose jobs indicate the esthete of the subordinated negro of today. African Americans for the most part are a subjugated slave people. The most devastating part is in the area of aesthetics. One reason why African Americans would probably never escape the chains of servitude;

I totally agree with the comments of Jacqueline E. Irons! Your new nose is beautiful and you were empowered by the change.
Love the new you Ms. Patti Girl!

Sorry she felt she had to have surgery, Jews have big noses but you don’t see them running to plastic surgeons, you looked fine just the way God made you. When we as humans learn to accept the way God created us, then and only then will we learn to accept life with class. We need to stop wanting to be White and accept being Black.

What??? For many middle eastern people, girls especially, include Jews as middle eastern get nose jobs all the time. It’s practically a rite of passage for many of them.

Everybody please stop all of this bull****. You did the right thing Patti…if you don’t like something about yourself then you have the right to change it. You shouldn’t regret wanting to make yourself look the way YOU’LL fell comfortable. And ppl..stop using God to guilt ppl. That’s like telling an obese person not to loose weight because God wants you to be fat and get diabetes. Give it a rest.

Ok the new nose looks more proportionate. She didn’t go and get a Caucasian nose. Seriously her small lips and that huge nose looked weird.
