Sophie Turnerdismissed accusations that she’s had buccal fat removal.
Buccal fat removal is essentially a cosmetic surgery where fat in the lower cheek isremoved, emphasizing the cheekbones. It’s a procedure that Sophie has beenspeculatedto have had, despite never confirming it.
As part of her May 17Voguecover story, Sophie spoke about the hyper-fixation on her weight that came with being a child star. She explained, “Being a young girl, especially one growing up in the spotlight, you really judge yourself.”
“I know when I’m in a bad headspace that the eating thing will always flare up,” she said, noting that she will take frequent social media breaks. “But now I regulate it by sitting in the discomfort and just getting used to that feeling of being full. It’s all exposure therapy. I think life is exposure therapy.”
Sophie has previously spoken about having an eating disorder that was exacerbated by social media and life in the public eye. She toldElle UKin 2022, “For a long time, I was quite sick with an eating disorder and I had a companion. […] One night, I was playing over and over in my mind a comment I’d seen on Instagram. I was like, ‘I’m so fat, I’m so undesirable,’ and spinning out. She said to me, ‘You know, no one actually cares.'”
