Dolly Parton's Candid Conversations on Plastic Surgery: 7 Instances Where She Shared Her Past Experiences

The legendary country music artist, Dolly Parton, has always been candid about queries regarding her appearance. The quick-witted, 77-year-old singer, known for her voluptuous figure, has been responding to queries about her iconic looks since her career took off in the late 1950s. Posed with questions about cosmetic surgeries she's had, her take is arranging appointments with the best medical professionals and being careful not to overdo any procedures, as shared in a recent conversation with Howard Stern.

In a 1977 Barbara Walters interview, Parton was asked about the authenticity of her "full figure". To this inquiry, Parton responded that she is often the subject of such speculation, but she'd be the type of person to opt for cosmetic alterations if she hadn't been naturally endowed.

Fast forward to 1992, while promoting the film Straight Talk, Parton confirmed to the Chicago Tribune her non-use of silicone injections. She shared her love for cosmetic surgeries, particularly post-weight loss, and admitted having had her breasts lifted, not injected.

Recognized for her candidness, Parton confirmed her various surgeries to Oprah in 2003. The singer told the host with humor that she won't hesitate to opt for more surgeries when necessary.

In 2011, Parton confidently expressed her voracious interest in looking fabulous, and that she'd carry out any needed procedures if parts of her body started to sag, remarking, “If something is bagging, sagging, or dragging, I’ll tuck it, suck it or pluck it.”

In a 2019 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Parton, agreed her appearance might seem artificial, but she believes herself to be genuine. She stressed she was not a natural beauty, and therefore always made the best out of whatever she got.

In 2020, on an episode of The Oprah Conversation on Apple TV+, Parton asserted that she doesn't perceive her life through the lens of age. She believes that inner beauty plays a significant role in a person's overall image, surpassing any cosmetic changes.

The music icon, in a 2023 interview on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, disclosed her careful and minimal approach to cosmetic treatments. She revealed that she relies primarily on fillers and Botox, opting for bigger procedures only when absolutely necessary.
