Brooks Nader is getting candid on getting a makeover.
In an interview with Bustle published Wednesday, November 5, the model and TV personality opened up about all of the procedures she’s had done by age 28.
“People say I look like Michael Jackson,” she told the outlet of a nose job she had done, revealing that she also got veneers courtesy of Dr. Michael Apa.
The NYC-based cosmetic dentist can cost around $50,000 for a smile transformation, but Nader revealed to Bustle that she got the work done for free in exchange for a collab post on social media.
Nader also shared that she’s had countless injectables, including salmon sperm facials and the “Nefertiti” Botox neck lift.
“Every Christmas, you can catch me looking like Freddy Krueger,” she said jokingly.

In addition, the Sports Illustrated model spoke about her use of weight-loss drugs to aid in her body transformation and help her in her career.
“If I didn’t get a job, I would say to [my old agency], ‘Can we get feedback from the client?’ The direct feedback was I needed to lose 30 pounds,” Nader explained. “I didn’t shed one tear over it. I don’t feel bad for myself. I just say, ‘The facts are they want me to lose weight. How can I achieve that?’”
That’s when she started using a GLP-1. (Nader has previously been open about her experience with Ozempic, which is a type of GLP-1 drug.)
“The facts are that when I started GLP-1, my career took off. I’m not saying it’s OK. I’m not saying it’s right. I think everybody is different — but I lost 30 pounds, and I booked all the jobs,” she revealed.
Nader documented her weight-loss journey on the first season of her Hulu reality show, Love Thy Nader, and was met with a slew of reactions from fans who also use GLP-1 medications to help shed pounds.
“The thing that I was so shocked about with the show was that I had so many people reach out to me saying ‘I’m also addicted to GLP-1. I’m ashamed to talk about it because there’s such a stigma around it. It’s a crutch for me,’” Nader said. “I’m still on it. It’s a crutch for me, too. It’s not healthy. I should get off it; I’ll be honest about that.”
