From Botox and lip fillers to boob jobs and butt lifts, it’s no secret that Hollywood’s hottest celebs are obsessed with the nip-tuck life. But these days, it’s not just “stars of a certain age” using cosmetic enhancements to tweak their appearance; many fresh-faced 20-somethings are getting in on the action too!
Think you can tell the natural from the fake? Or are these Hollywood surgeons just *too* darn good at their jobs?
Here are 30 celebrities who have opened up about their experiences with plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures like injectables. Have a read through their stories (both the good and bad) and take a look at their transformations!
Celebrities with Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Procedures
1. Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande‘s defined jawline and youthful glow might seem effortless, but even this pop princess has experimented with injectables. In a candid 2023 Vogue makeup tutorial, Ari spilled the beans about her transformation:
“Full transparency…I’ve had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox. I stopped in 2018 ’cause I just felt so — too much. I just felt like hiding, you know? For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, and now I feel like maybe it’s not.”
2. Kim Kardashian
Kim K is notorious for changing up her look, but despite rumors that she might have been under the knife, she’s been surprisingly tight-lipped about any surgical procedures.
When asked by Allure if she’d ever had cheek or lip filler, she firmly responded, “No filler. Never filled either one, ever.” As for Botox? She’s confessed to having “a little bit,” but has apparently “chilled” on it recently.
Could there be more to Kim Kardashian’s beauty routine than she’s letting on?

3. Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner’s transformation is always a hot topic and she’s made millions thanks to her plump, voluminous pout. But unlike her sis, this Kar-Jenner isn’t shy about owning up to filler. In 2023, the Kylie Cosmetics founder revealed all to HommeGirls, ‘fessing: “I had my one lip insecurity thing, so I got lip filler, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. No regrets. But I always thought I was cute.”
She’s also been open about getting breast implants at the age of 19, and “regretting it.”
We appreciate your honesty, Kylz!
4. Katy Perry
With her glowing skin and incredible physique, it’s almost as if Katy Perry is immune to aging — but has the Hot N Cold singer ever gone under the knife? According to her, it’s a no. Though she has had a few subtle tweaks…
In a 2018 chat with Refinery29, she opened up about having tear trough filler: “I’ve done lasers and got [filler] injections under my eyes for the hollowing — which I’d recommend for everyone who wants a solution for their dark circles — but all of my assets are real.”

5. Cardi B
Although WAP star Cardi B says she’s done with surgery now, she’s been super open about her past cosmetic experiences — horror stories included.
“I did fillers on my nose in 2019. And that s— f—— my nose up,” she confessed on The Jason Lee Show. “When you see stuff on Instagram, it just makes sense. But fillers just made my nose longer and it got wider.” According to the rapper, the botched procedure left her with “no choice” but to get a nose job.
6. Iggy Azalea
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has always had a standout look and even rocked a high-profile modeling career before music took over. Yet, despite her model-worthy physique, she chose to get plastic surgery in 2014. In a chat with Vogue [via BBC], she revealed: “I got bigger boobs! I’d thought about it my entire life.”
The Fancy rapper confessed that she originally planned to keep the surgery hush-hush but changed her mind shortly after, admitting she wasn’t into “secret-keeping.” We respect that!
7. Megan Fox
Beauty queen Megan Fox has been accused of having plastic surgery on multiple occasions, but is there any truth to the rumors?
Spilling the tea during a recent interview for the Call Her Daddy podcast, she shared, “I had my boobs done when I was 21 or 22 and I had them redone after I was finished breastfeeding my kids.” Although the celeb hasn’t shied away from the nip-tuck, she did admit that her body “does not react well to general anesthesia,” so she’s tried to keep procedures to a minimum.
8. Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner doesn’t hold back when it comes to cosmetic upgrades. Not only did she get a facelift on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but she’s also had a bunch of other tweaks over the years. On a 2015 episode of E!’s Good Work, she spilled:
“[I’ve had] Botox and fillers and laser [treatments] and things like that. I had a boob job in the ’80s after four kids because gravity took over.” Momajer also confessed to having a breast reduction because she “felt they were too big.”
9. Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton may be the ultimate country icon, but she’s definitely had some “help” to keep her looking fabulous. In a chat with Saga Magazine, she said, “If something is bagging, sagging, or dragging, I’ll tuck it, suck it, or pluck it.” Over the years, Dolly’s been open about various procedures, including Botox, fillers, breast implants, a brow lift, and eyelid surgery.
That’s a lot of TLC — she’s clearly just as dedicated to her look as she is to workin’ 9 to 5!

10. Bella Hadid
Fashion model Bella Hadid is yet another celebrity who’s been refreshingly open about getting plastic surgery. Most famously, she’s shared her regrets about getting a nose job at age 14.
Speaking to Vogue in 2022, she ‘fessed: “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors.”
Although she’s been accused of getting other work done, she’s firmly shut down these rumors, stating: “Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called — it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book.”
11. Amy Schumer
On the Dear Chelsea podcast in 2022, comedian Amy Schumer opened up about how she initially had mixed feelings toward surgery. “I got liposuction. I never thought that I was going to do anything like that. Like, when I would hear, ‘liposuction,’ I was just like, ‘That’s so crazy to me,’” she admitted.
But after undergoing surgery due to her endometriosis, she changed her mind. “I healed well, and I was like, ‘Can I get lipo?’ And I got lipo, and I’m feeling really good,” she shared.
12. Cameron Diaz
While she’s all for people doing what makes them feel good, Cameron Diaz has a cautionary tale about her own experience with cosmetic enhancements.
Appearing on Entertainment Tonight in 2014, the actress admitted: “I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was like a little tiny touch of something. It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to be like that.’ I’d rather see my face aging than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.”
13. Lala Kent
One celebrity who has no regrets about going under the knife is Lala Kent.
Back in 2022, the Vanderpump Rules star got a breast augmentation after her breakup with Randall Emmett. Opening up on her podcast before the surgery, she revealed, “It may sound like I’m getting my boobs done for men, but it’s getting my boobs done for me.”
How did she feel post-surgery? On cloud nine! “They were massive, and I loved them.” she gushed.
14. Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen is certainly no stranger to plastic surgery. Along with two breast augmentations and liposuction, she’s also one of the many stars who has jumped on the buccal fat removal trend.
Back in 2021, she made an Instagram story to spill the tea: “I did that Dr. Diamond buccal fat removal thing here… And since I quit drinking, I’m really seeing the results, and I like it.” She captioned the post with a cheeky, “No shame in my Dr. Diamond game.”
Looks like Chrissy’s loving her results!
15. Khloe Kardashian
One popular celeb who hasn’t been able to escape plastic surgery speculation is Khloe Kardashian.
Speaking her truth on the KUWTK reunion special in 2021, she shared: “For me, everyone says, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s had her third face transplant,’ but I’ve had one nose job…And everyone gets so upset, like, why don’t I talk about it? No one’s ever asked me…You’re the first person in an interview that’s ever asked me about my nose. I’ve done, sure, injections — not really Botox. I’ve responded horribly to Botox.”
16. Heidi Montag
Imagine undergoing 10 surgeries in one day — sounds wild, right?
Well, that’s exactly what went down for Heidi Montag back in 2009. The Hills’ star went all out with a chin reduction, boob job, lipo, a brow lift, a nose job, facial fat injections, and more.
On the JUST TRISH podcast, Heidi admitted she was “given the surgery for free” when starting her music career. At the time, it seemed like a dream deal for the then 23-year-old, but she ended up regretting it after a terrifying near-death experience. Eek!

17. Jessica Simpson
In her 2020 memoir, Open Book, singer Jessica Simpson shared her emotional experience of undergoing surgery. Reflecting on her two tummy tucks, she shared, “I can tell you that plastic surgery does not cure what’s inside. Really, it’s about how you feel emotionally, and I was still just as hard on myself once those stitches were out.”
Jessica also told Glamour in 2006 that she’d had fillers and regretted it: “I had that Restylane stuff…My lips are back to what they were. Thank God!”
We’re not sure where she stands with the lip filler in 2024, though:
18. Sharon Osbourne
Here’s yet another reminder that plastic surgery is no joke…
In 2021, Sharon Osbourne came clean about her horrifying face lift ordeal in an interview with The Sunday Times:
“I had a full facelift done in October, and I looked like one of those f*cking mummies that they wrap. It hurt like hell. You have no idea. I’m telling you, it was horrendous. I’m like, ‘You’ve got to be f*cking joking’…I looked like a f*cking Cyclops,” she told the newspaper. #Ouch!
19. Victoria Beckham
While former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham hasn’t revealed much about her experience with Botox or fillers, she has made it very clear that she regrets her decision to get a boob job.
In a letter to her younger self for Vogue in 2017, she wrote: “And I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs. All those years I denied it – stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.”
She has since had them removed and returned to her natural size.
20. Olivia Colman
There’s a reason why British actress Olivia Colman always looks so fresh-faced and youthful.
During an interview for BBC Radio 2, The Crown star let it slip that she’d had “loads of Botox.” When asked by TV presenter Vernon Kay if she found the experience painful, she humorously replied, “Yeah, it’s needles in your face.” At least she’s honest!
21. Ashley Tisdale
High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale underwent rhinoplasty in 2007 to correct a deviated septum. Opening up to People, she explained: “I didn’t do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose.”
She further added, “I’m not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me.” Props to you, Ashley!
22. Kourtney Kardashian
Yet another member of the Kardashian clan who has confessed to having surgery is Kourtney Kardashian.
As well as having minor treatments like micro-needling to resurface her skin, Kourtney has admitted to having breast implants put in when she was younger. Speaking to Showbiz Spy in 2011, she shared, “I had my boobs done but if I could go back, I wouldn’t have done it. I was so cute before… I’ve realized that I was made to look a certain way and I’m considering removing them.”
23. Tyra Banks
Supermodel and former ANTM host Tyra Banks is known for her natural beauty, but not all of her features are her own…
Explaining her decision to have a nose job to People in 2018, she spilled, “I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching…I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth.”
According to her, she hasn’t had any “age stuff” done yet… #NeverSayNever
24. Sia
Known for her powerful voice and signature wigs, Australian singer Sia has been upfront about her experiences with surgery. Posting on Twitter in 2023, she wrote: “Had to take a medication that made me put on a lot of weight that I just can’t shift with exercise or thyroid meds so I went in for lipo today.”

The same year she also admitted to a facelift while at the Daytime Beauty Awards: “I got an amazing facelift from Dr. Talei…he is doing so much good work — and not just for the pop stars of the world.”
25. Britney Spears
Britney spent many years in the limelight, and during that time, some couldn’t help but notice a change in her nose shape. Did she ever have a rhinoplasty? Nobody knows, but she has confessed to other small tweaks.
In a now-deleted Insta post, Britney wrote, “I’ve done needles and Botox and have had some really bad experiences.” Looks like she might be steering clear of those “toxic” injectables from now on!
26. Kelly Rowland
In 2013, Kelly Rowland opened up to Shape [via Daily Mail] about how she held off on getting breast implants for a whole decade. The former Destiny’s Child star was all set to get them at 18, but her mom and Bey’s mom (Tina Knowles) had other plans…
“I wanted to get breast implants when I was 18, but my mom and Beyoncé’s mom told me to really think about it first,” she shared. Taking their advice, Kelly decided to wait and finally went through with the surgery at 28.
27. NeNe Leakes
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes has never shied away from discussing her cosmetic procedures. Not only has she previously confessed to having a nose job, liposuction, and breast implants, but in 2022, she also went under the knife for a mini BBL.
Sharing the entire experience with her Instagram followers, she explained: “I’m only looking to fix my problem areas…we called in a ‘professional, mini BBL.’ And, I love it.”
28. Kaley Cuoco
Another celebrity who’s loved her surgery results is 8 Simple Rules star Kaley Cuoco. The actress told Women’s Health that getting a breast augmentation was “the best thing [she] ever did”.
And that’s not all! Kaley’s also been open about getting a nose job and some fillers. Her take on it?
“As much as you want to love your inner self…you also want to look good. I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else, but if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing.”
29. Blac Chyna
While some celebs are getting more work done, others are hitting rewind.

Snooki’s not one to keep quiet about anything, and her surgery is no exception. The iconic Jersey Shore star has had a wide range of treatments including a boob job, Botox, and lip fillers.
And in true Snooki fashion, she’s not apologizing to anyone: “I honestly don’t care what people say about me because they don’t know me,” she revealed to TooFab in 2015. “I always say I’m not living for them, I’m living for myself.”
FR though, would we even recognize Snooki if she wasn’t this open about everything?
And that’s a wrap! It seems that with Hollywood comes the needle and knife! Most stars are clearly not afraid of some nip and tuck — and they’re unashamed to talk about it! But did any of these celebrities with plastic surgery surprise you? Let us know which of their cosmetic enhancements look good (or bad) in the comments below.
