‘Bringing Up Bates’ Did Josie Bates Get Gluteal Augmentation?

Bringing Up Bates star, Josie Bates, is being accused of having work done. The main thing that fans can’t seem to agree on is what she has had cosmetically altered… or not. For a fundamentalist, there is definitely a shock factor for most fans when even considering the possibilities. Continue reading for all the details!

Josie Opens Up To Fans

On the way to their family Thanksgiving celebration, Josie answered follower questions on her Instagram stories. Most questions were fairly similar to those she as received in the past. Do you want more kids? How many kids do you plan to have? Do you really not know what gender your baby is? You get the idea.

One particular follower, however, chose to ask a question outside of the box.

“Botox? Fillers? Injections? Filters on pics?” it read.

Josie responded that she is not against the use of the mentioned products, but she is scared of using them. Fillers have the ability to migrate outside of the area where they are injected. Not only that but she is scared of needles in general. She went on to explain that she is only 24 and feels that she does not currently need the help of any such products. Bates also pointed out that she does have forehead lines, but loves the idea of aging naturally and gracefully. At this time, she does not have any intentions of cosmetically altering her face. Fans speculate otherwise.

Fan Observations

Fans with an eye for detail believe that they have picked up on a few alterations that Josie isn’t admitting to. The original poster shared a side-by-side collage of Josie circa 2020 compared to a recent “Get Ready With Me” she shared. They pointed out that her butt looks much larger, and her hooded eyes don’t appear to be hooded anymore.

A few people quickly pointed out that the first picture was taken when she was only 20 years old, had only had one baby at the time, and was prior to a few lifestyle changes she has recently made. Josie has shared short clips of her workouts with her husband, Kelton Balka. Given the time difference between the two photos in the Reddit post, many believe it’s reasonable that Josie has simply put in the work. Some commenters also mentioned the possibility of Bates wearing butt padding.

In addition to the claims of gluteal augmentation, there was some speculation about her potentially having had a blepharoplasty. According to the Mayo Clinic, this procedure is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. One Redditor shared, “I’m pretty sure Josie uses an eyelash serum with prostaglandin, which can cause orbital eye fat loss as a side effect. So that might be why her eyes look different.”

Good padding or squats??? Also, her eyelids previously were not visible, like they are now (which is why I think she had blepharoplasty).
