17 Celebrities Who Openly Discussed Plastic Surgery
Gone are the days when celebrities would sneak around with mysterious “vacations” that coincidentally left them looking refreshed and younger. Today’s stars are breaking Hollywood’s biggest taboo by getting real about their cosmetic procedures, sharing everything from their best decisions to their biggest regrets.
This new transparency is changing how we talk about beauty standards and personal choice. Some stars credit their procedures with boosting confidence, while others warn about going too far or choosing the wrong doctor. Here is a list of 17 celebrities who openly discussed plastic surgery and shared their honest experiences with going under the knife.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner transformed from reality TV kid to beauty mogul partly thanks to her famous lip transformation, and she’s surprisingly honest about it. She told HommeGirls in 2023, “I had my one lip insecurity thing, so I got lip filler, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. No regrets.”
However, she’s also admitted to getting breast implants at 19 and later regretting that decision. Recently on TikTok, a fan asked about her breast augmentation details, and Kylie actually responded with her exact specifications and surgeon’s name.
Amy Schumer
Comedian Amy Schumer completely changed her perspective on cosmetic procedures after dealing with health issues. On the Dear Chelsea podcast in 2022, she revealed, “I got liposuction. I never thought that I was going to do anything like that.”
After undergoing surgery for endometriosis, she decided to add liposuction and said, “I healed well, and I was like, ‘Can I get lipo?’ And I got lipo, and I’m feeling really good.” She’s also been open about trying and then dissolving lip fillers, joking that she “looked like Maleficent.”

Kaley Cuoco
The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco is probably one of the most enthusiastic advocates for plastic surgery in Hollywood. She told Women’s Health that getting breast augmentation was “the best thing I ever did” and has been equally open about her nose job and fillers.
Her philosophy is refreshingly practical: “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.”
Dolly Parton
Country music legend Dolly Parton has never been shy about her extensive cosmetic work, delivering one of the most memorable quotes about plastic surgery ever. She told Saga Magazine, “If something is bagging, sagging, or dragging, I’ll tuck it, suck it, or pluck it.”
Over the years, she’s admitted to breast implants, Botox, fillers, a brow lift, and eyelid surgery. In 2019, she told CBS Sunday Morning, “It is true that I look artificial, but I believe that I’m totally real.”
Chrissy Teigen
Model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen wins points for discussing some of the most unusual procedures out there. She told Refinery29 in 2017, “I had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things. It’s a big secret, but I don’t care.”
She explained that the liposuction made her feel more confident in dresses, even though she called it “the dumbest, stupidest thing.” In 2019, she also announced on Instagram that she was removing her breast implants, saying, “I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort!”

Kris Jenner
Momager Kris Jenner doesn’t just talk about plastic surgery – she literally had a facelift filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians. On E!’s Good Work in 2015, she detailed her history: “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.”
She’s also admitted to having a breast reduction because she felt they were “too big,” and recently made headlines by crediting surgeon Steven Levine with her rejuvenated look.
Courteney Cox
Friends star Courteney Cox became a cautionary tale about overdoing cosmetic procedures, but she’s been refreshingly honest about her regrets. She opened up about using too many fillers and ultimately deciding to have them dissolved to embrace her natural look.
“I’ve been trying to undo some of that,” she’s said about her past procedures. Her story highlights how cosmetic enhancements can sometimes lead to self-doubt and the need for reversals.
Jane Fonda
At 86, Jane Fonda is proof that some people are completely satisfied with their cosmetic surgery choices. She’s spoken openly about maintaining her appearance through various procedures and feels confident about her decisions.
The actress has discussed having work done and expresses no regrets, viewing plastic surgery as part of her overall wellness routine. She’s become an example of how some celebrities view cosmetic procedures as simply another form of self-care.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas shared one of the most devastating plastic surgery stories in recent memory about a botched nose job early in her career. She’s described feeling “devastated and hopeless” after the procedure went wrong, which affected her confidence and career opportunities.
Her experience serves as a reminder that even with the best intentions, cosmetic surgery can sometimes have unexpected and difficult consequences. She’s used her platform to discuss the emotional impact of botched procedures.
Bella Hadid
Supermodel Bella Hadid expressed genuine regret about her teenage rhinoplasty in her 2022 Vogue cover story. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she said. “I think I would have grown into it.”
She’s adamant that the nose job at 14 is the only procedure she’s had, despite speculation about other work. Her honesty about regretting the surgery at such a young age has sparked important conversations about cosmetic procedures and teenagers.
Cindy Crawford
Legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford has been surprisingly straightforward about using Botox to maintain her appearance. She told InStyle, “I’m not going to lie to myself, past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, botox, and collagen.”
She credits her cosmetic surgeon for the quality of her skin and sees these treatments as part of her healthy lifestyle routine.

Katy Perry
Pop star Katy Perry keeps her cosmetic treatments relatively minimal but isn’t secretive about what she does. In 2018, she told Refinery29 about getting tear trough fillers: “I’ve done lasers and got injections under my eyes for the hollowing — which I’d recommend for everyone who wants a solution for their dark circles.”
She’s also admitted to trying other procedures but tends to keep her cosmetic work subtle and targeted.
Cameron Diaz
Actress Cameron Diaz tried Botox but quickly decided it wasn’t for her, sharing a cautionary tale about the experience. She told Entertainment Tonight in 2014, “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.'”
She added, “I’d rather see my face aging than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.”
Tara Reid
American Pie actress Tara Reid has been extremely open about both her positive and negative plastic surgery experiences. She’s discussed multiple procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction, and a tummy tuck, but also shared her struggles with botched implants that left her with “uneven boobs.”

Music icon Cher is probably the most unapologetic celebrity when it comes to plastic surgery, freely admitting to extensive work over the decades. She’s been open about her love of cosmetic procedures and has said she would be “first in line to the doctor” whenever she feels she needs something done.
Her honesty about facelifts, cheek enhancements, and breast implants has made her a pioneer in celebrity transparency about cosmetic work.

Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis has talked extensively about her history with cosmetic procedures, including Botox and liposuction. She’s been open about the multiple treatments she’s had while also discussing the pressures that led her to seek these procedures.
Curtis represents the generation of actresses who started getting work done when it was much more secretive, but she’s chosen to be honest about her experiences rather than pretend everything is natural.
Joan Rivers
Though she passed away in 2014, comedian Joan Rivers deserves recognition as the ultimate pioneer of plastic surgery transparency. She was completely open about her extensive cosmetic work long before it became acceptable in Hollywood.
Rivers famously joked about her procedures and never tried to hide the fact that she’d had multiple surgeries. Her honesty paved the way for today’s more open conversations about cosmetic procedures in entertainment.
