Brooks Nader has candidly shared her regrets about undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure she wishes she hadn’t.
“I might regret saying this, but it’s the truth,” the 29-year-old model and reality television personality recently revealed to People. “Years ago, I opted for liposuction, and I regret it deeply because it was unnecessary. It left me with dimples and ripples that I didn’t expect.”
The Love Thy Nader star emphasized, “We need to focus less on such procedures and more on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”
Back in February, Nader shared with Us Weekly the encouraging responses she received from fans after choosing to dissolve the lip filler she had initially gotten at 18.
“I honestly felt really good about it, because I feel like I get a lot of the comments that are like, ‘You look 40, you look 40, you look 40,’” Nader said. “I’m like, ‘What? I don’t want to be 40.’”
In the interview, Nader said she was “pleasantly surprised” by the compliments she has received since ditching the filler. “Everyone’s like, ‘Finally, you actually look like 28,’” she said, adding that her parents, Breaux Nader and Holland Greene Nader, said she doesn’t look “blown up” anymore.
Nader said she began experimenting with filler when she was a teenager.
“When I was 18 and I moved to New York, I was like, ‘I’m gonna get filler. I’m gonna do all these treatments, I’m gonna get lipo, whatever it is,’” she said. “My parents gave me, like, $1000 and they were like, ‘Have fun.’ I felt like it was what everyone was doing. I was thrown into this world of Hollywood and chasing perfection. And I thought that getting filler was the answer.”
Now, however, the Dancing With the Stars alum is embracing her “true, authentic self.”
“I never say never to anything because if I age, you never know,” she said of getting more work done in the future.
But she added, “For right now, I’m loving my smile and how I’m looking. I feel like I’m looking like my old self again.”
Nader was recently cast in Fox’s reboot of Baywatch starring Stephen Amell as Hobie Buchanan, the son of David Hasselhoff’s Mitch Buchanan from the original series.

Last week, the reality star told Entertainment Tonight that she was “over the moon excited” to play a lifeguard named Selene in the show.
“My character is Selene and she’s basically me — she’s very sassy — and she is a total boss,” Nader said.
According to Nader, her character is a rival lifeguarding “captain” who will “butt heads” with Amell’s lead character in “good, flirtatious fun.”
Variety broke news of Nader’s casting earlier in March and shared a character description for Selene, which reads, “While she is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction. Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter, Charlie, onto his team… and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding.”
