Brooks Nader’s holiday gift to her parents included a needle.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, who just returned from a trip to Disneyland, immediately headed to the medspa with red sequin Minnie Mouse ears still on her head to dissolve all her lip fillers.
Her sister Sarah Jane, 23, filmed the entire incident on TikTok, posting footage of Brooks leaning back in a doctor’s chair, applying numbing cream to her lips, wearing black sunglasses and appearing completely unconcerned.
“Unusual Aesthetics: Melting Lip Fillers After Disneyland,” she wrote. “Only @BrooksNader🤣”
“Why after Disneyland?” one commenter asked.
“I thought so 🤣,” Sarah Jane replied.
Brooks took it even further on her Instagram Stories, sharing a close-up photo of her newly swollen lips and captioning it, “All my lip fillers have melted. This is my Christmas present for mom and dad lol 😇.”
Since then, the family has turned the sunny skies into a ski resort, arriving in Aspen on Tuesday. “Ready for a white Christmas 🎄,” Nader captioned a mirror selfie, referring to her all-white winter clothes.
The Louisiana native has been unusually transparent about her aesthetic work. Last month, she sat down with Bustle to run through her entire cosmetic surgery resume, which includes a nose job, veneers courtesy of Dr. Michael Apa, a Botox neck lift, and a salmon sperm facial.
“People say I look like Michael Jackson,” she joked.
Nader also quipped about her holiday beauty routine: “Every Christmas, you’ll notice I look like Freddy Krueger.”
The model opened up about the pressure to lose weight in the modeling industry, revealing that she started taking the GLP-1 drug after receiving feedback from her former agency that she needed to lose 30 pounds.
“The fact is, my career took off when I started GLP-1,” Nader tells Bustle. “I’m not saying it’s OK. I’m not saying it’s right. I’m sure it’s different for everyone, but I lost 30 pounds and booked every job.”
Ms. Nader’s transparency about weight loss drugs was featured on Hulu’s reality series “Love Thy Nader,” and her three sisters intervened before her Maxim cover shoot.
As for whether her parents were happy with her unconventional Christmas present? Brooks kept the details to herself, but the angel emoji suggests she hopes to end up on the nice list.
