Iggy Azalea is finally answering the question that has been on everyone's mind since she appeared at the Billboard Music Awards back in May: Why does her face look different?

The answer: She had a nose job.

 Opening up for the first time about her changing look, the Aussie rapper tells the September issue of Seventeen, "I'm not denying it. Denying it is lame."

 This isn't the first time Iggy Iggs has had plastic surgery—she's admitted to having breast implants. And as far as she's concerned, there's no reason to hide any of it. "I don't think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I've spoken about the changes I've made, like with my breasts."

 Even if you're not a fan a changing your looks, you gotta love her honesty! But if you're thinking about having surgery, Iggy says don't rush into it.

 "Your perception of yourself can change a lot over time," she explains, "so I think it's important to wait and make sure it's the right choice."

 She even did a lot of research. "I read a lot about nose jobs online. Some women are really happy they got them, and some women changed their noses when they were younger, and when they got older they wished they didn't."

 There's also much more to the process than the physical differences, too. "Plastic surgery is an emotional journey," Iggy says. "It's no easy feat to live with your flaws and accept yourself—and it's no easy feat to change yourself. Either way you look at it, it's a tough journey. There are things that I didn't like about myself that I changed through surgery. There are other things I dislike but I've learned to accept."

 What makes us different makes us special, and if we were all "flawless" how boring would that be, right?

 We think Iggy would agree.  "It's important to remember you can't change everything," says Iggy. "You can never be perfect."
