In 2016, Rapper Lil Kim’s sudden new appearance sparked rumors that she may have undergone another plastic surgery. However, her new look is heavily criticized by many as she looks unrecognizable in her pale skin.
The controversy over her enhancement started when fans noticed the once naturally dark singer suddenly became pale. On top of that, Lil Kim has also decided to change the color of her hair to blonde, making her fans wonder why she would enhance something to that extent, seemingly wanting to change her whole being.
GRS is cosmetic. It's changing outer appearance. It's like me saying I want a more aquiline nose and bigger firm breasts then I get them and say well it's not cosmetic because I feel netter about myself now.

Looking at her before and after pics through the years is quite unsettling. Everything from her nose, face, and skin tone has fully changed. According to reports, she had her first plastic surgery in 2004, after she decided to go under the knife to fix her broken nose caused by her then-abusive boyfriend.
Since then from 2013 to 2015, she continued to have various enhancements, causing her appearance to change drastically. However, by 2016, her transformation became so major that some fans couldn’t even recognize her anymore.
Some board-certified plastic surgeons like Jennifer Levine approve of Lil Kim’s plastic surgery rumors, saying it was already easy to spot the differences in her pics through the years. In an interview, Levine stated that the rapper has probably undergone some skin bleaching to lighten her skin overly.

Aside from that, after further analysis, Levine can also say that Lil Kim has also had her eyes done from a more Western feature. The rapper has elongated them, removing some of the fat and skin, creating this Asian-looking eye shape.
Moreover, it is also no secret that Lil Kim has undergone nose augmentation over the years. Aside from that, she has also done many Botox injections and jaw surgery to enhance her facial features.
According to reports, Lil Kim has already spent over $25,000 on these enhancements. However, there are also some instances in which the rapper just uses beauty filters, just like most of us, making her face look more chiseled than it is.
