26-year-old Ireland Baldwin revealed that she recently underwent a FaceTite procedure, or a โ€œmini facelift,โ€ with her cousin 29-year-old-cousin Alaia Baldwin. Some say this revelation speaks to a larger trendโ€”younger patients undergoing facial plastic surgery. And they are not happy about it.

Since the post, the 26-year-old has received backlash claiming that she is โ€œtoo youngโ€ to be getting procedures. In response, she said, โ€œIโ€™m not underage. Iโ€™m a consenting adult who made this choice, and I couldnโ€™t be happier.โ€

In response to the backlash about her being open about plastic surgery, she posted a video on TikTok, saying, โ€œYou have to pick one. Either youโ€™re going to get mad at people who arenโ€™t open and transparent about the work theyโ€™ve had done to themselves. Or youโ€™re going to get mad at people for getting work done to themselves. You donโ€™t have both.โ€

Baldwin went on to talk about how she would have been criticized for not sharing that she had undergone a treatment, and that she felt she needed to be transparent to the young girls who follow her. Plus, she has a history of using social media to share about her experiences with anxiety and eating disorders. She explained, โ€œI choose to be as open and transparent about these kind of things because I donโ€™t want to be misleading.โ€
