Selena Gomez hits back over cheek filler accusations but admits she's had Botox
Jessica Wood Selena Gomez has revealed she has undergone Botox procedures in the past, but hit back at claims she had cheek filler injections.
The 31-year-old took to social media to correct an internet troll who had claimed she needed to remove the filler from her cheek.

In typical fashion, she laughed off their comment and instead shed some light on one cosmetic procedure she has experimented with, confessing she has had Botox injections before.
"Hahahaha I've had Botox bb girl," Gomez replied in her Instagram comments.
Botox is a common neurotoxin used by celebrities as a tool to fight against ageing, as it prevents muscles from moving for a limited period of time. It can also be injected into glands as a way to limit sweating.
Her revelation came as a surprise to those who know the 'Only Murders in the Building' movie star. In the past, she has kept her cards close to her chest and refused to divulge if she had any cosmetic work done.
Selena Gomez opens up about beauty
Gomez revealed her views on beauty have been affected by her work as a child actor, having starred on TV screens from the age of seven.
Now sporting a new look, with blonde highlights tinting her trademark dark hair, she said she used to spend 'hours' in the chair having makeup applied.
"I think my version of beauty was a bit affected because I've been working since I was seven and I've always had makeup on," she told WWD in a recent interview.
"I can't think about how many hours I have spent in the chair because it kind of depresses me a little."
It is not the first time Gomez has had to defend herself from online trolls. In early December, she was forced to defend her new beau Benny Blanco after confirming she is officially off the market and is now dating the music producer.
Having referred to him as her "absolute everything", her fans questioned her decision to take herself off the market due to his looks.
But the former Disney actress fired back with a defiant response, insisting Blanco, 35, is the "the best thing that's ever happened" to her and is "still better than anyone I've ever been with."
