Britney Spears has spoken about a botched Botox treatment that left her eyelid drooping for weeks, warning fans to “be careful” with cosmetic procedures.
Singer's ordeal
The singer, 44, described the unwanted after effects of the injections in a social media video, which she captioned “You can't trust anyone!!!”. She could be seen pressing her fingers around her left eye to show her Instagram followers what had happened and said her eye had “drooped down” for a month.
Britney said: “It's just now starting to raise up and be normal again. It's so embarrassing it was like that. Girls, you have to be so careful if you do Botox with these people and these doctors. They can really f*** your eyes up. My eye was down like this for like, four weeks. It's just now starting to be fine again.”
She added: “Be careful with your bodies, because it's yours and you own it. So, that's it.”
Past comments on Botox
The star has also given her thoughts on the cosmetic procedure in the past. Back in 2023, she went on her Instagram account to tell followers that she was “done with Botox”. At the time, she insisted that a recent Botox experience left her looking like she had been “beat up.”
Family and personal struggles
As well as discussing her Botox over the weekend, troubled Britney also used social media to discuss her family and insisted she “failed as a mother” in a heartbreaking post uploaded to X.
Britney shares sons Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. She wrote: “My son told me last week it was all science he didn't personally believe in God … in that moment I believed I had failed as a mother because I know there is a Holy Spirit that sits high in the kingdom of heaven,” adding that she has “been there” and “felt it.”
Britney added: “I wanna tell my kids and people in general that I'm sorry for my mistakes in the past.”
Background
For 13 years until 2021, Britney was in a conservatorship – a legal guardianship under which her finances and personal life were controlled by her father. The singer published a memoir in 2023 titled The Woman in Me, which described her struggles living under the conservatorship.
She returned to rehab earlier this year after she agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge following her March arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
