“The Worst Thing That I Ever Did”: 19 Celebrities Before And After Plastic Surgery

Madonna, aged 65, recently confirmed she has undergone cosmetic surgery after persistent rumors, but has not specified the types or frequency of these interventions. A review of her changing appearance by board-certified surgeon Dr. Barry Weintraub led him to identify evidence of at least "twelve cosmetic facial procedures." Dr. Weintraub also suggested these procedures likely cost a sum in the "six-figure" range.

The progressive alteration of Michael Jackson's nose, resulting from several reported rhinoplasties, became a widely discussed and controversial element of his evolving image. Photographic evidence reveals the dramatic extent of these changes, culminating in a highly refined, and arguably over-stylized, nasal appearance. Ultimately, numerous surgical interventions, including rhinoplasty, contributed to a distinct, almost otherworldly look in his later years, starkly contrasting with his earlier features.

Lara Flynn Boyle has not publicly confirmed any cosmetic surgeries, yet noticeable alterations like plumper lips and smoother skin emerged in the early 2000s, attributed by observers to possible collagen and Botox. Further changes by 2006 led experts to speculate about a range of procedures, including rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, fillers, or even a facelift. Her previously defined facial structure has since become puffier, a change some believe could be from fillers wearing off and resulting in sagging.

Zac Efron’s noticeably wider jaw and stockier facial features in 2021 prompted fan speculation, with some jokingly referring to a “chad filter.”

Efron attributed his changed look to a nasty fall in 2013 that “shattered his jaw,” though he appeared with his previous look in films for years after that incident.

Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie expressed skepticism about Efron’s explanation, suggesting the dramatic transformation might be due to cosmetic surgeries and muscle-building drugs.

Priscilla Presley has disclosed that silicone injections from an illegitimate practitioner are responsible for her puffy cheeks. Separately, Dr. Youn posits that her skin's waxy quality might be attributable to a history of multiple laser treatments and Botox applications.

Jocelyn Wildenstein's journey with plastic surgery reportedly began with mutual eye lifts alongside her then-husband, Alec. She continued to have more work done, later stating a motivation for some facelifts was Alec's aversion to aging, as he "hates to be with old people." Her transformed appearance earned her the public nickname "Catwoman," a label she doesn't seem to dislike, while also asserting that some of her features, like her "cat eyes — and high cheekbones," are hereditary.

Formerly a prominent figure in soap operas like Dallas and Knots Landing, Joan Van Ark's appearance has been significantly impacted by numerous plastic surgery procedures. Reports indicate she underwent treatments such as Botox, laser therapy, facelifts, brow lifts, cheek implants, and dermal fillers. The cumulative and reportedly excessive nature of these interventions has rendered her once-celebrated features nearly unrecognizable.

Significant alterations to Donatella Versace's face are evident, particularly her remarkably taut and smooth skin, which could indicate a facelift. Her fuller cheeks might be the outcome of either cheek implants or dermal filler injections. There is also speculation that procedures like lip augmentation have contributed to her current look.

The late Joan Rivers candidly acknowledged her extensive history with plastic surgery, confirming procedures like facelifts, neck lifts, and eyelid surgery without apology. While some might have considered her cosmetic work excessive, Rivers herself remained unapologetic about her choices.

According to dermatologist surgeon Dr. Daniel Lanzer, Courteney Cox likely had filler injected into her cheeks, lips, and around her eyes, and possibly underwent a "mini face lift." Dr. Lanzer explains that this type of facelift offers more natural results by focusing on the lower face and neck. He notes that Courteney's preference for a natural look aligns with a significant trend in cosmetic surgery where patients are seeking more subtle enhancements.

Katie Price, a former glamour model who has been in the public eye for three decades, has had numerous cosmetic procedures on her face and body. Over the years, she has undergone tweakments, Botox, and reconstructive surgeries. Specific procedures include 16 breast surgeries (both augmentations and reductions), three Brazilian bum lifts, a rhinoplasty, and six facelifts.

Sharon Osbourne has expressed significant regret over her most recent facelift, which took place in October 2021. She revealed that the procedure left her with uneven eyes and a misaligned mouth, stating, "That was the worst thing that I ever did. I looked like Cyclops.” Osbourne also mentioned she had to wait for the initial results to heal before undergoing corrective surgery.
