Model Amelia Gray Hamlin is setting the record straight on her appearance, candidly detailing which cosmetic procedures she’s had – and which popular rumors simply aren’t true.
In a new interview with Variety, the 24-year-old shut down long-standing speculation about lip fillers. “I’ve always had these lips,” Amelia said, explaining that she’s currently doing SkinVive, which she described as a moisturising injection rather than a filler.
The daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin has previously been open about undergoing a nose job, as well as an emergency breast reduction at age 16 after a nipple piercing became infected. Years later, she chose to have a breast augmentation – a decision she now reflects on with honesty.
“I was dating somebody who was older than me when I was younger, and I sort of allowed his beauty perception to affect my choices,” she told the outlet. Amelia explained that she wasn’t happy with the scarring left from her reduction and opted for another procedure, but says the outcome was not what she had agreed to.

Amelia ultimately underwent a 14-hour reconstruction surgery.
She previously detailed the ordeal on the Skinny Confidential podcast in 2020, revealing she was just hours away from sepsis after developing mastitis caused by an infected nipple piercing. “When I tell you, my boobs were this big,” she said at the time, explaining that surgery was the only solution.

Since then, the model has become hot property on the catwalk, walking for everyone from Miu Miu, Chanel, Balenciaga and Off-White, and is as regularly spotted on the front row.

The Beauty airs new episodes Wednesdays on FX.
