Former “American Idol” contestant Nutsa Buzaladze kicks off 2026 with a “New Year, New Me” vibe.
The 28-year-old singer took to Instagram last week to show off her “Beverly Hills glow-up,” crediting celebrity surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar.
Buzaladze shared a video taken in her car, giving fans a before-and-after look at her transformation.
“Beverly Hills glow-up,” the singer captioned her post. “Closed rhinoplasty with Dr. Dugar @deepakdugarmd and I’m already feeling incredible 4 days post-op. NEW YEAR, NEW ME.”
Dugar is a board-certified surgeon in Beverly Hills, famous for his signature “Scarless Nose” jobs, per The Daily Mail. Some of his celebrity clients include “Vanderpump Rules” alum Dayna Kathan, adult star Mia Khalifa, as well as Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s daughter, Sami Sheen.
‘American Idol’ Star Nutsa Buzaladze Happy With Her New Look
In another post, Buzaladze expressed how happy she is with the results of her nose job. Sharing a close-up selfie, she wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Unbelievable. And this is only after a week [after] my surgery. Can you guys believe it?”
After her full recovery, the “American Idol” alum treated herself to a shopping spree, marking the new chapter of her life.
“This new chapter of my life is starting today, so I decided to celebrate that and go shopping,” she said in a video shared on Thursday, January 22. She also captioned the post with, “Bought my nose some presents.”
Fans React to Her New Look
Meanwhile, fans flooded the comments section with reactions to Buzaladze’s new look.
One fan wrote, “You were beautiful even before the surgery, and you are beautiful even now.”
Someone added, “You have always been a beauty,” while another chimed in, “Truly a perfect result.”
Buzaladze appeared on “American Idol” Season 21 in 2023. She traveled 17 hours from Dubai to audition, and performed a powerful rendition of “Lady Marmalade.”
Her high-energy performance landed her in the Top 12. Unfortunately, she failed to secure a spot in the Top 10.
Buzaladze’s stint on “American Idol” was one of the most memorable ones due to her clash with fellow contestant Carina DeAngelo. She ended up issuing an apology to judge Katy Perry.
Aside from “American Idol,” Buzaladze also represented Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024. She also appeared on “Georgia’s Got Talent,” “The Voice of Turkey,” and the Georgian version of “Dancing With the Stars.”
