"I've never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers I have. I think promoting insecurity as a plastic surgery is infinitely more damaging than an artistic expression related to body modification."
This is a quote from former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta-a.k.a. Lady Gaga - in an interview in 2011 with Harper's Bazaar. Judge you, but I think it's very interesting to put this kind of statement out there when the photo of evidence says the opposite.
I'll say this: One thing she has for her is her wardrobe. Unlike other celebrities who have to rely on make-up and hairstyles for surgical improvements to offer Camo, Gaga has always been known for their unusual costumes. Do you know how sometimes the red carpet plays the bonuses that appear from afar? Or do you come across a crazy mask that hides your face? There are rumors about these things.
It also makes it harder to see what has changed over half the time it goes around:

Of her "face horns," she again said: "I have never had plastic surgery. [The protrusions are] not prosthetics, they're my bones." Right. Clearly, nothing she says on this subject can be trusted.
But I'll let you decide—let's dive deeper into this week's before and after:
The before
There are a few pics floating around the internet of Gaga when she was still Stefani, including this one—a shot from a high school semi-formal circa 2004:
Lady Gaga, 2004
She looks just like any regular high school girl here. By 2005, she was starting her music career and had a Katy Perry-meets-Ashlee-Simpson thing going on at this BMI event:
Lady Gaga before and after: BMI event, 2005
This was THE look for aspiring female musicians in 2005, obvi. But since the other girls already had this vibe locked down, Stefani decided to transform into Lady Gaga. (Every pop star needs a gimmick, right?) This next shot is from 2008
This one really gives you a good look at her natural nose and lips. Her skin is also super-tanned at this point. And I think there's a bit of unevenness at the bottom of her two front teeth.
This side profile photo is also from 2008:

Take a good, long look at her nose, because things are about to change.
The after
By the time of the Brit Awards in 2009, Gaga's nose was looking decidedly slimmer:
Lady Gaga before and after: Brit Awards, 2009
She's still working the fake tan (and shimmer, ugh). Aside from those, I actually really liked this era of Gaga—remember those enormous bows made of hair? It was kind of like a Flintstones on acid look.
I think it's possible that she had not one but multiple rhinoplasties, because at the 2010 Grammys her nose was looking even further refined:
Lady Gaga before and after: Grammy Awards, 2010
From the front, it's like a baby little nose compared to where we started. I'm also wondering if she's started injecting her upper lip a bit (I know it's also exaggerated with lip liner). Very hard to tell if there's anything going on with the eyebrows, since she was wearing bangs all the time before this. In 2010, she was only 24, so that would be crazy early to start Botox—but you just never know with celebs. At any rate, her brows are extremely arched here. Maybe it's makeup, maybe not.
And here we have another side profile of her nose, from 2011:
Lady Gaga before and after: MTV Europe Music Awards, 2011
I think it's great to see Gaga with a more natural skin finish, neither too pale with heavy foundation nor overly tanned. Also see how her teeth have been filed straight at the bottoms. As for her nose, the side profile—at this point, at least—is actually the same as it was in 2008. So I think her first rhinoplast(ies) addressed the width of it, which you can see front-on, but left the natural bump that's visible here. Very subtle, very clever.
But then she basically disappeared from the public eye for a while, remember? Gaga was basically MIA until this appearance in late 2012 at Harrods:

And suddenly she is a bit hot. It's not the extreme hair and the trick for sure, but is it even more surgical changes? This blur profile of the Summer 2013 shows yes:

The bump is gone and her nose is now fairly clear. From the front it seems a bit different (this is from the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards)

Incredible skin, especially, and I suspect she had laser work to achieve these perfectly impeccable, glowing textures. The tip of her nose looks more refined, and you'll really be a little shaken a few months later on this next image ...

Wait for Heidi Montag? Nope. But it could be. By Gaga gone, well, gaga for the charges, with the lips swollen and I think a little puff in the cheeks. Your nose looks at this shot of a touch (comes from music awards in November), and I wonder if there could be a plant chin from this point too, too. Eeks! In my opinion, the overall effect is very plastic.
