Abbie Chatfield announces plans to get a nose job and insists you can ‘still be a feminist and get plastic surgery’
Abbie Chatfield has announced plans to go under the knife for a nose job despite potential criticism.
The reality star revealed her plans on her Nova podcast It’s a Lot, but admitted that she could be criticised for adhering to patriarchal standards of beauty.
‘So some people on Tiktok are saying that… you know, if you get plastic surgery, you can’t be a feminist,’ Abbie shared.

‘And I think that’s kind of a, that’s a pendulum swing from white feminism and white feminists ideals, that like women could do anything we want and deserve,’ she continued.
‘When I saw these TikToks I was like oh f**k am I gonna get some like backlash for getting my nose job? Are people gonna say that I’m not a feminist?
‘And some people will. But would I rather be all high and mighty on my moral high horse or would I just get a nose job because I want a f**king nose job? So the end of the day, I’m getting this job because I want to get it.’
Abbie also revealed that she’s been getting fillers in her nose ever since watching herself back on The Bachelor.

‘So I’ve gotten nose filler…But I did it as like a trial for a nose job because I was like, I think I want a full nose job,’ she added.
Despite wrestling with the feminist aspects of her surgery, Abbie concluded that she was going to do what she wanted with her own body.
‘Some people have a really nuanced view where it’s like yes these beauty standards are patriarchal but you can acknowledge the patriarchal beauty standards and also just get it done because you want to get it done,’ she said.
