In Hollywood circles, there’s an enduring hush surrounding the topic of celebrity plastic surgery. Whether it’s a subtle tweak with Botox or a more dramatic alteration like breast enhancements or facelifts, stars have typically opted for such procedures behind closed doors. Yet, as attitudes evolve, a few courageous celebrities are now breaking the silence, sharing their personal journeys—both the highs and lows—of undergoing plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.
Bella Hadid
Bella shared with Vogue that she got a nose job at 14. She now says it may not have been the best idea, and that keeping the nose her ancestors gave her wouldn’t have been so bad (“I might’ve grown into it” she said). Bella continued that the nose operation was the only thing she had done, despite what people think.
Kim Kardashian
Kim says she’s had “a little bit of botox”, but has toned down her cosmetic procedures in past years. She also says she’s never had eyelash extensions of fillers.
Amy Schumer
In 2022, Schumer disclosed that she underwent liposuction after giving birth to her son. She took to Instagram to share her journey, posting several photos of herself donning a one-piece swimsuit at the beach. In the caption, she mentioned that she currently weighed 170 pounds.
Chrissy Teigen
Teigen has shared 3 procedures she’s undergone. First, she had some underarm fat sucked out. She says she knows it may be silly, but she feels great in any dress she wears now. She’s also confessed to having breast implants (since removed), and buccal fat removal.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe has had one nose job, and has expressed a bit of frustration that people think she’s done more than that. She shared on her talk show as well that she had her facial fillers removed.
Dolly Parton
Dolly knows her figure looks too good to be true, but she assures people she’s not gotten anything done on her figure. The renowned country icon has openly acknowledged undergoing several cosmetic enhancements, including breast implants, a brow lift, and eyelid surgery.
Vanessa Williams
Williams has consistently been transparent regarding cosmetic enhancements, openly acknowledging her use of Botox and undergoing numerous Ultherapy sessions. She recalls the pain after her first session and swore she’d never undergo a procedure again – that was until her makeup artist complimented how “tight” her face looked.
Olivia Colman
Colman made no secret about trying botox, saying she “loved it”. Specifically, she’s careful when she picks dates to have them done, often making sure there’s a lot of free time before another role. Her husband hadn’t caught on when she was initially trying it and regularly said “Hello pretty!”.
Katy Perry
The pop singer has had a couple touches to her eyes. Specifically, lasers and filler injections to deal with dark circles. She’s not had any procedures done on any other parts of her body, though.
Tyra Banks
The fashion icon shared that she had a small procedure done on her nose. Some “small bones” were causing her itching and discomfort, and she felt like getting a nose operation to address everything across the board.
Yolanda Hadid
The 55-year-old had her fair share of procedures she had in the past, but is happy to have a natural body now. She confessed to undergoing a lot of plastic surgery to fit beauty standards, and it got to the point of endangering her health.
Ariel Winter
Ariel Winter underwent breast reduction surgery to alleviate unnecessary discomfort, yet she refuses to tolerate social media trolls falsely accusing her of undergoing surgery for other reasons.
Britney Spears
In a 2013 cover story interview with InStyle, the singer discussed a minor cosmetic adjustment. She’s had lip injections courtesy of a well-known plastic surgeon.
Cindy Crawford
The iconic 90’s supermodel has had shots of botox in her youth. She was a fan of how it helped her skin. Though she does rely on hydration and skin care, most of the credit for her skin’s look goes to the surgeon who worked on her.
Cardi B
Cardi B shared that the cosmetic operations she’s had. The occasional filler and botox, but also liposuction to make her butt look bigger. She admitted some of the procedures weren’t always legal.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Though she presents herself as a champion of all things “natural” per her GOOP brand, Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t keeping it secret at all that she’s had some cosmetic surgery. She’s had laser surgery before.
Nicole Kidman
Kidman has given a botox a try before. Most likely pressure from societal beauty standards. She’s now thankful to not use it anymore, and be able to move her face more freely.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney has had breast implants, and funnily enough, has never kept them secret despite people thinking otherwise.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie has been public about getting lip filler and eventually having it removed. This wasn’t the only enhancement she’s had, though. And she’s gone on record saying she’s not adverse to plastic surgery in general.
Iggy Azalea
Having had breast implants, the rapper made sure to own up to it and not be discreet. “It’s much freer to say it and then you don’t have to worry someone will dig it up” she said.
Jessica Simpson
Like other people on this list, Jessica Simpson did get lip injections once, but didn’t like them. She waited for them to return to their original size on their own, which she was thankful for.
Dianna Agron
The Glee Star has gone under the knife, and the needle, and the stitches. That’s because unlike most of the people on this list, she didn’t get work done for show. She actually broke her nose twice and needed reconstructive surgery.
Nene Leakes
The star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta revealed to People magazine in 2010 that she underwent a nose job, liposuction, and breast implants along with a lift. Her goal was to look like a “better version” of herself.
Kaley Cuoco
The actor from The Big Bang Theory disclosed that she underwent rhinoplasty, breast augmentation (which she described as “the best decision I ever made”), and received a round of fillers. She expressed that her goal to look good outweighed her feelings on being “yourself”.
Courtney Cox
Our Monica wasn’t opposed to getting fillers back in the day, but they’ve since dissolved and allowed her natural face to shine through. Something she’s incredibly grateful for.
Christie Brinkley
Brinkley has had procedures done to address wrinkles and frown lines on her lower face and neck. She feared how it’d be perceived at first, but eventually learned to not care much.
Ashley Tisdale
Like Dianna Agron, Ashley Tisdale’s procedures were done to address a health problem. Our favorite Disney blonde had a deviated septum in her younger years and couldn’t breathe out of one side of her nose. She needed a nose operation to let her breathe properly.
Patricia Heaton
Having become a mom at the start of the century, Heaton had a tummy tuck and breast reduction done. Childbirth and breastfeeding had left their mark on her body, and she wanted a reasonable figure so she could look good in dresses again. Can’t blame her!
Lisa Kudrow
Our Phoebe got a nose job at the age of 16, having been insecure about her nose for ages as a teen. “I went from hideous to not hideous”, she said.
Jamie Lee Curtis
The beloved Freaky Friday and Halloween star says she’s had most forms of plastic surgery you can think of. Though the irony here is that she looks the same before and after because “none of it works”.
Angelina Jolie
The actress discussed her choice to undergo a preemptive double mastectomy and subsequent reconstructive surgery. The procedure’s safer and easier to do now than it was decades ago.
Kris Jenner
The head of the Kardashian-Jenner family showcased a facelift procedure on an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians in 2011. She mentioned undergoing the surgery ahead of her daughter Kim Kardashian’s second wedding.
Cher
Cher has always been outspoken about plastic surgery, but she refuses to acknowledge procedures she hasn’t undergone. She’s had various implants and touch-ups to parts of her body, from breast to buttocks to calves. And she says it’s no one’s business but her own.
Kelly Rowland
The Destiny’s Child member wanted breast implants back in her youth, but both her and Beyonce’s mother assured her to think about it long and hard first. She eventually went through with it 10 years later.
Robin Wright
Wright admits to getting a “tiny” botox shot once or twice a year. She’s said that she doesn’t think it’s a big deal given how widespread it is (as we’ve seen on this slideshow).
