Bella Hadid got her nose done at 14 because her mother made her feel ugly at home

Bella Hadid regretted the rhinoplasty made when she was (just) 14 years old. The 25-year-old model with blue-green eyes and long dark hair opened up in a long interview published by Vogue USAconfessing that if he could go back, he would do differently. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” commented Gigi Hadid’s younger sister, referring to his resemblance to his father Mohamed Hadid, a real estate magnate of Palestinian origin. The complex of the wrong nose (and, more generally, of an inadequate physical appearance), seems to have been born by dint of hearing its mother Yolanda Hadida typically blonde, blue-eyed former Dutch model, describe Gigi as “the perfect American girl next door in Ralph Lauren style”. If anyone has ever seen the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills he will already know: in the seasons in which Yolanda Hadid appears, all the compliments are addressed to the beautiful eldest daughter Gigi.

Bella Hadid has long felt like the ugly sister

“I was the ugliest sister. I was the brunette. I wasn’t as cool as Gigi, I didn’t have her outgoing personality. I’ve always heard that. And unfortunately when they tell you the same things every day, you end up convincing yourself that that’s exactly how it is “explained Bella Hadid to Vogue USA. Meanwhile, on social media, a debate has ignited among the model’s followers. The key point of the debate is the following: Bella was supposed to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards, denying her Palestinian heritage and traits. As if blonde and with a small nose (like Gigi) were equivalent to a beautiful brunette with an important nose (like Bella) were to be considered as part of the B series.

Bella Hadid and rhinoplasty at 14, the psychologist speaks

As the female doctor Elena Welcomepsychologist and psychotherapist«The age of 14 corresponds to the classic age in which one does not go well, in which the relationship with one’s own image in the mirror is often conflicting, if not painful. Adolescence is the age in which you want a body different from your own, which possibly reflects in all respects the standards imposed from the outside. A supermodel mother, recognized by the world for her beauty and attractiveness, makes the work of adolescence difficult. And this is a first fact of life. Surely continually praise the eldest daughter in front of the youngest daughter as corresponding to classic American beauty it can create enormous discomfort in a young girl whose physical appearance is simply different. It should also be remembered that one of the primary functions of the parent is to be a container: independent and solid. That is to say that a father and a mother should be able to contain the stormy storms of adolescence, not bowing to every request of the teenage son. A (permanent) modification of the body at a very young age must always be evaluated very well: if on the one hand there could be a fact of reality, we must not underestimate how insecurity for the alleged defect can hide important problems of low self-esteem, identity, recognition. Never act on the wave of haste or to silence (by dabbing) the demands of the adolescent child. Obviously the parenting task is the most difficult in the world, but be careful not to be the first to raise inferiority complexes in our children ».
