Plastic surgery has become a common route for many celebrities seeking to enhance their appearance. However, not all journeys under the knife end with the desired outcome. From facelifts to lip augmentations, numerous stars have experienced unfortunate results, leading to altered looks and, in some cases, regret. Let’s take a closer look at 21 instances where celebrity plastic surgeries went wrong.
Burt Reynolds
Burt has refuted undergoing a facelift, but his tightened skin and smoother forehead are noticeable changes. However, opinions differ on whether these alterations are enhancements.
Reynolds recently attended the Superbowl festivities in Jacksonville, Florida, appearing notably fit for his age from a distance. Yet, upon closer inspection, his appearance was less striking.
According to a party attendee, “Burt’s facial features seem unnaturally stretched and taut, almost to the point of discomfort. His eyes appear tightly pulled and somewhat sunken, with eyebrows seemingly lifted by an unseen force.”
Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton has undergone several cosmetic procedures over the years, ranging from breast enhancements to nose jobs. However, the cumulative effects of these surgeries are starting to show. Despite her previous enthusiasm for cosmetic enhancements, the singer and actress now display signs of excessive Botox use.
During an interview with Saga Magazine last Saturday, the renowned singer confessed, “I haven’t felt the absence of cosmetic procedures as much as I anticipated.” Additionally, Parton openly shared her regret over a specific cosmetic procedure she underwent.
Priscilla Presley
Priscilla Presley experienced unfortunate results from a cosmetic procedure. She underwent a facelift performed by an unqualified practitioner who administered silicone injections, resulting in lasting scars. It raises questions about why someone already naturally beautiful would pursue such interventions.
Unfortunately, she has faced challenges in the past with procedures that didn’t yield desired outcomes. She revealed receiving injections of low-quality silicone, similar to what’s used in automotive mechanics, from an unlicensed provider.
Melanie Griffith
Melanie Griffith underwent cosmetic procedures including Botox injections and facelifts, contributing to a noticeable transformation in her appearance. She has openly shared her experience of receiving critical feedback on social media regarding her altered look.
Griffith also reflected on the repercussions of engaging in cosmetic enhancements, expressing that she became aware of the extent of her changes when faced with negative reactions. She recounted feeling hurt by the commentary and sought corrective measures from another medical professional to mitigate the effects of the previous procedures. She hopes that these adjustments will restore a more natural appearance.
Bruce Jenner
Bruce Jenner underwent multiple facial procedures, including one in the 1980s and another in 2009. Unfortunately, both surgeries didn’t yield the desired results, prompting ongoing efforts to rectify the outcomes.
Cher
Cher was among the first famous people to regularly get plastic surgery. Her appearance changed a lot from being naturally pretty to looking tight and stressed. In a recent photo, we saw she had tape from a facelift, and in another one without makeup, we could see all the years of surgeries and stretching her skin.
Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke has undergone a series of recent unsuccessful plastic surgeries. Mickey explains that he sought to address a boxing-related injury to his nose, but the specialist he selected did not deliver satisfactory results. Subsequent attempts to rectify the situation also fell short. Regrettably, Mickey Rourke’s appearance has significantly changed over time.
Reflecting on his experience, Rourke expressed remorse about his decision to pursue surgery, stating, “I felt some sense of responsibility for its outcome.” In 2009, he disclosed that his altered appearance stemmed from unsuccessful facial surgery. He acknowledged, “Most of it was intended to repair boxing-related damage, but I made an error in choosing the surgeon.“
Jennifer Grey
Jennifer Grey underwent plastic surgery to alter her distinctive button nose, which had contributed to her charm and recognition in “Dirty Dancing.” While her appearance post-surgery is not unfavorable, it has notably altered her recognizable features. Consequently, her recent endeavors in Hollywood have been less successful.
Jennifer Grey has openly discussed her decision to undergo two rhinoplasty procedures. Reflecting on her experience, Grey likened seeing her altered nose to experiencing a disconcerting hallucination. She recounted instances of not being recognized, encountering difficulties in securing work, and feeling a sense of fragmentation, as if reduced to her nose alone.
Carrot Top
Carrot Top underwent some cosmetic procedures, including Botox injections, laser peels, and an eyebrow lift, aiming to enhance his appearance. Regrettably, these alterations resulted in a somewhat unsettling appearance instead.
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling underwent a breast augmentation procedure that didn’t yield the desired results, leading her to file a lawsuit against the surgeon due to asymmetry and drooping.
Tori has openly discussed her decision to undergo breast implant surgery at a younger age and opted for a revision in 2022 upon realizing the potential health risks associated with her 20-year-old implants if left unchanged.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton underwent cosmetic procedures including rhinoplasty, Botox injections, and other enhancements. Her nasal structure seems to be the most distinctive alteration.
Latoya Jackson
Latoya Jackson has undergone multiple plastic surgeries, including a procedure to alter the shape of her nose. This adjustment resulted in a nose with thinner nostrils, reminiscent of her late brother’s.
Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace has undergone several cosmetic procedures, with notable alterations in her lips and nose being the most prominent. Her nose has a downward slope, and her lips appear noticeably fuller, having been augmented two to three times their original size.
Jocelyn Wildenstein
In the 1990s, Jocelyn Wildenstein underwent a procedure to adjust her slanted eyes. Unfortunately, some individuals now unkindly refer to her as the “cat lady” due to her facial appearance, which includes swelling and persistent slanting.
While denying claims of extensive plastic surgery, she attributes her appearance to her Swiss background. She has, however, acknowledged a significant surgery costing millions to give her eyes a more feline-like appearance, which she underwent with her husband. Her husband, Alec Wildenstein, commented that she believed she could alter her face like furniture, not realizing that skin does not respond in the same manner.
Darryl Hannah
Darryl Hannah’s appearance has notably changed since her roles in “Splash” and “Roxanne,” shifting away from her earlier innocent charm. It appears she has undergone procedures like facelifts and Botox injections, but unfortunately, the results have not been as successful as hoped.
Lindsay Lohan
Despite her youth, Lindsay Lohan has opted for plastic surgery, notably receiving several lip-plumping Botox injections. It seems that her lips have been augmented significantly, likely through the use of fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm.
Dr. Steve Falleck, a New York-based Plastic Surgeon and President of the New York Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons, concurs that she may have undergone lip augmentation but comments that the results appear excessive and disproportionate to her lower face.
Renee Zellweger
Renee Zellweger underwent some cosmetic procedures after the sequel. Nowadays, her appearance has notably changed.
Pete Burns
Pete Burns has shown a consistent inclination towards plastic surgery, which has notably transformed his facial appearance permanently. His lips now appear significantly larger than their original size, alongside various other noticeable swellings and scars.
Almost 16 years ago, Burns faced a medical emergency following a problematic lip augmentation procedure. Despite the severity of the situation, Burns managed to recover after a 10-day hospitalization period that required intensive treatment with blood thinners. However, this treatment resulted in lasting damage to his teeth.
Axl Rose
Axl Rose doesn’t appear unattractive. However, his current appearance markedly contrasts with the Axl who performed “Paradise City.”It seems he was discontent with his aging process. He opted for cosmetic procedures to recapture his youthful appearance from his 20s and early 30s. Though he retains some semblance of his younger self, I believe the cosmetic interventions didn’t yield the desired outcome.
Big Ang
Big Ang exemplifies the risks of excessive Botox treatments. Despite undergoing several procedures, an unfortunate Botox injection resulted in significant swelling, enlarging her lips to three times their usual size.
Farrah Abraham
Farrah Abraham recently shared on Twitter that her fifth attempt at lip implants didn’t quite go as planned, leaving her with an unexpected outcome resembling a daffy duck appearance. Known for her frequent cosmetic procedures, she has already undergone multiple surgeries including breast enhancements, a nose job, and chin implants.
Preferring implants over temporary fillers for her lips due to their permanence, she might not need to invest in more lipstick just yet. It seems she experienced either a reaction to the anesthetic or an unusually strong response from her lips to the procedure’s trauma.
