Kate Cassidy Details Being Stopped by TSA After Cosmetic Procedures

by

Kate Cassidy’s cosmetic procedures are causing some challenges. 

The 27-year-old woman, who had been with Liam Payne for two years before he passed away in 2024, emotionally recounted being stopped by airport security. She was informed that the photo on her passport didn’t look like her anymore.

Kate shared in a TikTok video on May 15th that she experienced embarrassment at the Fort Lauderdale airport. She explained that while going through security, the facial recognition system flagged her passport photo as not matching her current appearance, causing a problem at passport control. The system uses a green light for matches and a red light for discrepancies, and she received the red light.

The 27-year-old woman showed her passport photo to airport security, who immediately told her she looked very different from the picture. They pointed out how much she’d changed since the outdated photo was taken.

Kate recounted how a border official examined her passport and then stared at her in disbelief. The official repeatedly said the photo didn’t match her current appearance, pointing out that she seemed to have had a nose job, lip fillers, and possibly some work done on her eyes, as well as a change in hair color.

The influencer was deeply embarrassed when she tried to show an airport employee her ID, but the employee apparently thought the three photos on the ID were three separate individuals.

The model said she was incredibly embarrassed. Apparently, a woman then invited three men to join them. One of the men asked if she had any work identification, and the model responded that she could show him her Instagram profile, feeling unsure of what to do.

She also pointed out that everyone waiting in line could hear the conversation. While she acknowledged they were just doing their jobs, she felt there were more effective and considerate ways to communicate and resolve the issue.

Days later, Kate took it upon herself to detail exactly what procedures altered her appearance.

In a TikTok video from May 19th, she revealed she’d had breast implants – 400cc on each side, placed under the muscle. She also confirmed she’s had lip filler and a nose job (rhinoplasty), though she wasn’t completely satisfied with the results of the nose job, she felt it was an improvement over her natural nose.

She admitted to having fillers in her cheeks and chin, as well as Botox in many areas of her face, to the point where it was difficult to make expressions.

And Kate also detailed her noninvasive treatments. 

She shared that she’s actually a natural blonde, but she dyes her hair brown. To achieve her look, she uses hair extensions and gets fake nails. Because she’s very fair-skinned, she uses spray tans weekly. She also doesn’t have natural freckles anymore since she avoids the sun, so she draws them on each day.

Because for her, honesty is the best policy.

As she added in the post’s caption, “Always gonna be transparent about these typa things.”

After her divorce from Brennon Lemieux, the former star of Love Is Blind season three revealed she had breast augmentation surgery.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2026, she announced she was feeling almost back to normal five days after her surgery. She had a breast lift and implant, and was surprised by how easy the recovery process has been. She explained she’d wanted the surgery for a long time, ever since she finished breastfeeding her daughter, as her breasts hadn’t regained their previous shape.

 

The actress from Uncut Gems has admitted she sometimes wishes she hadn’t had certain cosmetic procedures, like liposuction, a nose job, dental veneers, and injections of Botox and fillers.

In an interview with Allure in August 2025, she shared a longing for the innocence of those who haven’t experienced much in life. She explained that she used to believe her worth, and even her survival, depended on being considered attractive to men.

She acknowledged she might eventually get back to being more productive, but it wasn’t a priority for her at the moment.

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore had under-eye fillers she received shortly after her 18th birthday removed on the makeover show Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind.

Former 90 Day Fiancé star revealed a dramatic new look after getting her large breast implants removed on the July 30, 2025 episode of the TopMob makeover show Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind.

Larissa recently decided to reduce the size of her breast implants, going from 1,500 cc to 700 cc, and she told TopMob News it was a deeply positive experience. She described the decision as ‘liberating and healing,’ explaining that it felt like she was reconnecting with her true self after prioritizing an image and expectations that didn’t actually belong to her.

The reality TV star from Shark Tank revealed in an Instagram post from June 2025 that she’s had several plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures over the years.

Andy Cohen, host of Watch What Happens Live, recently shared that he’d gotten Botox after years of saying he never would. He revealed in March 2025 that he finally decided to try the procedure, which is used to minimize wrinkles.

He revealed on the season 11 reunion of Married to Medicine that he’d experienced something for the first time just a month prior, and received a small amount of it.

In February 2024, actress Sophia Bush, known from One Tree Hill, talked on her Whine Down podcast about the cosmetic procedures she’s had, including Botox and breast implants. She also shared one regret she has about getting her breast implants.

Jana says her biggest regret about getting breast augmentation is not being certain she did it purely for herself. Her main advice to others considering the procedure is to make sure it’s a decision entirely for their own happiness.

In a September 2024 video for Vanity Fair, the actress from Wicked revealed she used to get fillers and Botox, but she stopped about four years ago, and that was all.

The former Teen Mom 2 star, who has seven children, had a Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck in 2016. She then had additional surgery in December 2024, including another tummy tuck, liposuction, and a breast reduction.

A month later, she spoke candidly about wrestling with her body image.

She expressed her hope on Instagram that her children would never feel so insecure about their bodies that they’d consider extreme measures to become thin. While she believes minor cosmetic procedures like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation are acceptable, she feels that undergoing drastic changes solely to achieve thinness indicates a serious mental health issue. She added that she says this with full respect for anyone who is going through such struggles.

In April 2024, three months after being released from prison – where she spent seven years for her involvement in the death of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard – Blanchard had surgery to reshape her nose and correct a deviated septum.

A star from The Real Housewives of Dubai shared photos and updates about her face lift and recovery process on social media in November 2023.

She explained to TopMob News that she wanted people to understand the reality of the recovery process, showing the bruising and swelling that comes with it. She described looking like she’d been in a serious car accident immediately after the procedure, but was able to appear presentable after just five days, and felt completely normal in public after ten.

The reality TV star explained her openness about getting a facelift by saying it would be strange to return to the show looking noticeably younger without explaining why. She admitted she does look about ten years younger now.

Part of the price of beauty for the “Who Says” singer: The occasional dabble with Botox.

In an interview with People magazine published in March 2024, she revealed she’s regained her abdominal muscles. She explained she has visible lines on her stomach, something she hadn’t seen since before her pregnancy. ‘Any mom knows,’ she said, ‘that your skin doesn’t bounce back the same way after having kids.’

She shared in April 2025 that she’s spent more than $113,000 trying to get treatment for an unusual facial parasite.

After an Instagram follower suggested she’d had lip fillers, Botox, jaw contouring with liposuction, and eyelid surgery, Ariana Madix responded by openly admitting to having had all of those cosmetic procedures.

In a July 2024 Instagram post, she revealed what cosmetic procedures she’d had. She confirmed getting Botox (commonly known as ‘tox’) in her forehead (eleven lines), around her eyebrows, and on her neck. She also had a neck lift called Ellevate in 2019, performed by @theneckdoctor, and a small amount of lip filler because of her face shape. She added that she hasn’t had filler anywhere else and hasn’t had eyelid surgery (‘bleph’) yet, and promised to share if she gets anything else done in the future.

In a June 2024 Instagram video, Jill Zarin revealed she recently had a lower facelift and some other cosmetic procedures. She also explained she had a fat transfer to her hands, which she’d always been self-conscious about. Surprisingly, she said the most painful part of the process wasn’t the fat transfer itself, but the liposuction used to remove fat from her leg to fill her hands.

The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the Bravo spinoff.

She recently shared on her “When Reality Hits” podcast that she had a procedure to address fat under her chin, which she jokingly refers to as a “turkey gobbler” because it’s a family trait. She explained that despite her efforts to lose weight and everything else going on in her life, she always felt self-conscious about it.

After splitting from David Harbour of Stranger Things, singer Halsey shared that she had breast augmentation surgery.

She mentioned on her podcast, Miss Me?, in March 2025 that she feels great without a shirt or bra on, but jokingly pointed out there’s a noticeable difference in age between her breasts and her face.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken publicly about her nose job and her breast implants.

The talk show host recently revealed she used Ozempic to lose weight and also confessed her 2021 facelift was a mistake. She described the results, in December 2023, as making her look like the superhero Cyclops.

Lady Gaga revealed in a 2013 interview with Howard Stern that while she’s never had plastic surgery, she went through a period of getting facial injections while she was using marijuana. She described going to a Chicago strip mall, where people thought she was acting recklessly. She admitted she wasn’t in a good headspace at the time, often smoking and drinking before getting fillers like Juvéderm.

She explained that she’d stopped getting cosmetic injections. Before filming the music video for ‘Applause,’ a friend who was a photographer had warned her, saying he loved her, but he was seriously concerned about her health and wished she would stop getting injections.

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

I’m feeling good now,” she shared with Life & Style. “If something bothers you and you have the power to fix it, that’s fantastic.”

The Crown star revealed that she’s a fan of Botox. “I’ve had loads,” the actress told BBC Radio 2.

During an appearance on The Talk in 2013, the co-host shared that she had plastic surgery early in her career to enlarge her eyes.

Once I finished, things started to go my way,” she explained. “But I couldn’t help but wonder if I had simply given the man what he wanted.

I own all of my choices, and they’ve led me to this point. I’m not dwelling on the past.

In a 2002 interview with The Telegraph, the actress admitted to having some cosmetic procedures – a little plastic surgery, liposuction, and Botox. However, she said she didn’t see any positive results from them, stating plainly that ‘none of it works’.

The actress told People magazine in 2007 that having surgery to correct a deviated septum was the best decision she ever made. She said she finally got a good night’s sleep for the first time in years. Regarding other gossip, she stated, simply, that everything people were talking about was still her own – and she hadn’t changed.

In 2010, the reality TV star from The Real Housewives of Atlanta publicly shared that she’d undergone cosmetic surgery, including a nose job, breast lift, and liposuction.

“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”

Back in 2015, the reality star affectionately nicknamed Dr. Lenny Hochstein her “boob God” because she loved the results of her breast augmentation. She’s always been very open about all her cosmetic procedures, including a tummy tuck and lip fillers.

The Beverly Hills housewife got silicone lip injections when she was 24 years old. Later, in 2010, she had some of that filler taken out.

She explained on Today in 2013 that she found it fascinating how popular lip fillers had become, noting she’d seen so many people get the procedure. She felt like a trendsetter, saying she was among the first to openly admit to getting it done. She even stated she’d happily do it again, playfully adding that her lip fillers had become more successful than her actual career before she had one!

Back in 2009, when she was only 23, the reality TV star from The Hills had a dramatic makeover, undergoing ten cosmetic procedures all in a single day. These included Botox, chin reshaping, a nose job, and fat injections to plump her lips.
