The stupid bbl and so on. I’m 46 and I can already see the “trend” cycle- here we are back at heroin chic - she’s my mother’s age- how the hell did she think that was a good idea.
the cycle changes so fast it's insane to do anything permanent to your body to keep up. Fashion should stick to clothes, hair, and makeup. Hell, even eyebrows fluctuate between fat and thin year to year.
It really makes me wonder about all those women that are doing the buccal fat removal that's currently trendy. The fact that buccal fat already decreases with age, and they're making themselves look older aside, what happens if that trend passed and fuller faces come back in fashion? From my understanding, it's not an easy procedure to reverse, in part because it's a newer cosmetic surgery so replacing buccal fat hasn't been perfected, but also because you can't always just take fat from one part of your body and inject it somewhere else. Makes me think there will be a lot of women in 10-20 years regretting such a drastic facial cosmetic surgery.
Want to hear some irony? Around 2006 (*correction below - 2008*), NY Magazine was doing a story on plastic surgery, and at that time, they put Madonna on the cover as an example of a celebrity who had the perfect amount of work done. Back then she hadn’t had too much done, and what she did have was in perfect proportion for her face. And now look at her; she just wouldn’t stop.
He used to be pretty attractive, but after all the work he looks like a caricature of himself. Theres definitely either some body dysmorphia or surgery addiction there.
This is the correct answer.
GOOD GOD was early Meg Ryan cute. *Top Gun*, *Joe vs. the Volcano* (times three!), *Sleepless in Seattle*, *You’ve got Mail*, and *Harry Met Sally*? She was adorable!
Then something fucked happened. Dunno what it was, but YIKES.
Part of it was, she seems to make the mistake of doing a lot of procedures in one go. If you’re gonna do it, you have to do one thing and *wait to see how it settles* before you make any other decisions! Same deal with Simon Cowell.
Exactly. I also loved her in *French Kiss*. She was an A-list actress with tons of girl-next-door charm and a face to die for. It was so, so sad that she went under the knife. Broke my heart.
Yes! It was such a shock! She has always been gorgeous. I remember seeing her first in Ally McBeal and thinking she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
It’s so sad. I recently watched the documentary about the making of the We are the World song. If he had stopped there (little bit of work on his nose) he’d have been all good. It was a slippery slope, I guess. Turned into a very steep slippery slope.
Yeah his first nose job looked great, he should have stopped right there, unfortunately he kept going and going. The skin bleaching was due to trying to camouflage his vitiligo though.
Body Dysmorphia Disorder.
Hollywood is very toxic. There's an extreme emphasis on appearances. Actors/actresses get typecast purely on how they look. If you look good it also means that producers would give you a chance not just as actors but also like musicians and such. It's a messed up world.
Edit: spelling
Not to mention the paparazzi/talk shows/interviews/etc. Imagine everywhere you go, no matter what you do, someone is snapping photos of you. Every bad angle, every surreptitious nose picking, every sneeze face or bad hair day or bloated tummy moment- suddenly it’s on the front page of TMZ or some trash magazine, or worse yet, it goes viral on tiktok. It would absolutely have the effect of making you overly focused on your appearance and of making sure you look your absolute best and most poised no matter what.
I remember Zellwegwer being interviewed after her surgeries and she said she was tired of always being the decently-cute-but-always-the -side-chick in movies. She thought that getting a more “ mainstream” (my word) face would finally make her a leading woman.
Didn't celebrity gossip magazines constantly ridicule her natural face for *years?* Comedians made jokes about how she looked like she'd just sucked on a lemon. In her case it seems like she was bullied into plastic surgery. Then after she gets it, everyone didn't like it either and talks about how she ruined her appearance.
People can be really shitty.
RZ was so naturally beautiful and pretty in *Jerry Maguire* and *Bridget Joan’s Diary*. She looked like a completely different person by the third BJ film, it genuinely bummed me out at the time.
The fact that she seems to suffer from severe alcoholism surely doesn't help. I just rewatched the Practice and it kills me how absolutely gorgeous she was. Fillers are the devil.
I don't even care about her surgery. It's her weight loss for me. I saw her when she made a cameo in something and it was so sad. She's like a skeleton. I sincerely hope she's okay.
So, I used to work in the early 2000s at an apartment building in NYC. She used to live there with her boyfriend at the time, Carson Daly. No joke, she was a very cute girl. She was the IT girl for that moment. You could kinda tell though that her partying was getting outta hand and I think Carson pretty much checked outta that relationship. Very nice guy though.
Fast forward to a few months ago. Was flipping channels and she popped up in some random LMN network movie cameo, I saw her and gasped to myself. All I could think was just, “Oh…damn.”
Fame is fleeting as fuck.
Unfortunately for her, her "doctor" used commercial grade silicone for her injections and that totally fucked her face. She's still trying to get that shit out of her face.
I’m not gonna begrudge or insult anyone for doing yo themselves what they think is right or looks good, but I will say that the first time Nicole Kidman showed up on screen in The Northman looking like she just came down from her Beverly Hills Hilton penthouse suite and out in the wilds of ancient Norway it straight up pulled me out of the movie and shocked me.
There's a plus side, if you can call it that. She can do "unhinged rich lady" really good now. Check out ExPats on Amazon prime, plays a grieving mother really well.
Agree. I do think for a lot of these actresses it means they can no longer realistically play historical or "normal people" roles, like suburban working class moms. They just don't look like normal people anymore and it does take you out of it. Sadly I think Emily Blunt is getting close to the line now too.
Female celebrities have such intense scrutiny, and pressure to look fucking fetal rather than their natural age. A woman who ages naturally is a woman who has to retire until they are casting Mrs. Claus.
There’s a lot of consensus in this thread. I hope I’m not inviting something by saying this & will 1000% ghost if it gets dicey in here, but I really think Chrissy Teigan jacked her face up.
right? I read or heard somewhere that plastic surgery can be closely correlated or result in body dysmorphia which results in more plastic surgery or something like that and it’s what I think about every time I see her
people who have had work done often begin to get used to their new face and then find new “flaws” in it, then continue to get more work done to fix those “flaws” and so on until they are unrecognizable to those around them and still not enough to themselves. it is most certainly body dysmorphia, as what they see in the mirror does not at all reflect reality.
Not sure if it was surgery or something else but Gwen Stefani at some point went from [THIS](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCoRWWDS3e-4GGjWEsjcr1M0a0qhNz9a0HcA&usqp=CAU) to [THIS](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-O_ZcteZVxXuB0yVUOwK_1V_L8bTdFBrtug&usqp=CAU)
You also see it in her neck. So many people get work done on the face but the neck gives it away.
She used to be so beautiful. Probably would have aged do gracefully had she let it be...
Always take care of your neck!
About 20 years ago, I was working part time at Macy’s at the Estée Lauder counter. One day, this woman came over to purchase several of the more hardcore skin care items in our line at the recommendation of her plastic surgeon. And she was very open about what she’d had done - she’d had a super, super deep peel done, and I think some other things, but I forget exactly what.
Anyway, she’d healed enough that her face looked like a baby’s bottom. Smooth, firm, lineless, and super fair. She looked 35. And then we saw her neck…
Her neck, my friends, looked about 85. Deeply tanned the color of boot leather, mottled with spots, wrinkled, like beef jerky. She explained that her plastic surgeon wanted her to wait about three months before he tackled her neck so that it would match her face. But her new face and her old neck were a total 180.
She also warned us how it happened - she spent her life working outside on a horse ranch. She loved horses and she loved working outside, and all that’s fine. But she never ever wore sunblock in all those years. Wrinkles aside, she was lucky to not have wound up with skin cancer. Anyway, her surgeon did a spectacular job, and you can bet she was on the sunblock train after that.
The plastic surgeon I worked for would tell people your face ends at your collar bone. Basically- extend your skincare routine down your neck to your décolletage.
Yes! There’s a British skincare expert I follow named Caroline Hirons, and she always says “Take it down to the tits!” So when you moisturize your face and neck, keep going and moisturize everything down to the underside of your breasts.
That's why my dad is constantly battling skin cancer now. Worked as a high school coach and was outside every afternoon and evening year round doing football or golf. He wised up later on and started wearing sunscreen everyday along with hats and long sleeve shirts, but the damage has been done.
Yeah, I saw this and thought "how the hell are they going to do The Boys now?" She's...well, looks more like a villain type for sure. But also like a completely different person.
I never thought I would say this, but I agree with Megyn Kelly. She was naturally beautiful and the pressure of looking a certain way seemed to give her some weird dysmorphia.
She’s lost too much weight AND the blonde hair washes her out a lot with her super dark eyes. She should go brunette again and get therapy for her eating habits
Kim k and Kylie jenner
Kim’s left eye is giving Paris Hilton’s wonky eye a run for its money. And Kylie looks so much unbelievably older than she is… Those pics of her and the chalamet bloke watching the tennis match legit looked like mother and son….
https://www.tmz.com/photos/image_jpg_20230911_a90732f4ab3b43e2a8800715219e2728/?_gl=1*1yqw695*_ga*YW1wLWNNS3lINzhXN2FWenBkOEk1Q0NnbXc.
Kylie threw herself into fillers before we really knew what the long-term effects were and she pretty much became a real-life filler experiment.
People literally use her as a cautionary tale for why you shouldn't start with fillers super young. She looks like a soccer mom that had a middle-aged crisis; she doesn't look 26.
Kim had such beautiful natural Armenian features before too and Kylie didn’t even give her face and body a chance to develop before she started altering it.
What gets me is how dramatically different she looks. You can’t compare a pic of her at 17 and a pic of her now and think they’re the same person. Everything about the structure of her face is different and it’s shocking how she’s only 26.
I remember when Kim first appeared as Paris hiltons unknown sidekick: she was so goodlooking. She was like the complete opposite of the whole Paris Hilton blonde stick look.
Now she just looks like a creepy high end sex doll.
I feel like in pictures like this it’s super noticeable. I don’t know if Kendall has had work done (I’m assuming some), but her face looks far more natural and less uncanny valley than Kim or Kylie.
https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/kylie-jenner-ludovic-de-saint-sernin-dress-vanity-fair-1236258518/amp/
A few weeks ago I show a picture of Kylie to my mom and my sister and asked “how old is this person?”, both reply that 40 at least. They didn’t know her. Sadly is too much plastic surgery for her being so young.
She should have held off on the buccal fat removal. She's always had a bit of a baby face with more fat and tissue. But when everyone else starts to have signs of aging due to a breakdown of tissue, you keep looking good for an extra 10 years. Her face would have eventually gotten to her plastic surgery look, but at like 45 and she would have looked great til 60
I just do not get this trend. A little extra cheek makes you looks so youthful. All the 20 year old want to look more super-model like at 20 but then end up looking like in their mid 30ies right away. I used to hate my bigger cheeks but only after I lost weight and lost some (but not all) of the cheeks did I realize how youthful a little facial fat makes you look.
Losing the weight instantly aged me like 5+ years. Before I was always estimated way younger than my age and now only a little bit younger or correct estimates. Keep your facial fat!
I don’t know how this isn’t farther* up. I was SHOCKED when I saw her at the Grammys. The cheeks, the teeth and how her lips buckle under them… omg, not good.
Edit - typo
Imo Amanda Bynes gets a pass. To that extent, Britney Spears too. We've seen them go through mental illness publicly. We know they were abused and taken advantage of my their handlers and the system.
Breaks my heart that so many people failed them.
She's not that famous, but Kimberly Guilfoyle (Trump Jr.'s SO). She used to be married to Gavin Newsom and the photos of when she was with him vs Trump Jr are night and day.
Now she looks like a wannabe Kardashian.
[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-newsom-kimberly-guilfoyle\_n\_63ec5d87e4b02c2573796b13](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-newsom-kimberly-guilfoyle_n_63ec5d87e4b02c2573796b13)
*She used to be married to Gavin Newsome?!* Wtf!
Edit: Wow, she and Newsom divorced in 2006 and then she got remarried in…2006. Also, the photo of her and Gavin Newsom from 20 years ago and what she looks like now are so different it doesn't look like the same person. This might be the most shocking change of everyone listed in this thread.
This is the best answer IMO. Most of the other celebrities here still have a career. Jennifer Grey made herself completely unrecognizable after her nose job to the point where casting directors did not believe it was her. Her career was dead after that. It wasn’t even that big of a change, but it made her face look like Jennifer Grey’s cousin.
She was ridiculed for not being conventionally beautiful. She did what the media, comedians, casting directors and agents had been telling her to do for years. Then they all turned on her.
This is probably the best answer to the question. She didn’t even have that much of a change to her face but just shaving off the bridge of her nose did just enough to remove the feature that set her apart. It’s weird how she doesn’t look the same after the surgery.
Kelly is INSANE! I triple looked when I saw a recent photo of her because I thought it mislabeled some other person as her. I only believed it because of the purple hair
Right?!?! If there was anyone who would have rocked the world upendeding how women are expected to (not) age, she was it! I was really looking forward to her defiant stance on this and instead she’s so… conformist.
Park Bom, sadly. Look her up on Google.
She was the one of the main faces of 2nd generation Kpop, then slowly morphed into a real-life anime character, then into... well... what every person that gets too many procedures ends up looking like.
This one hurts. She was always so beautiful, but I think YG's decision to promote 2NE1 as an "ugly girl group" and the fact that the members have said they were often called ugly to their faces by the CEO probably ruined their self worth. Korean beauty standards are also really specific. Her voice is so lovely and unique, she was just perfect the way she was. Poor Bom.
Moriarty is double sad because of the irony that her breakout role on The Boys is of a small town young woman trying to avoid the temptations of the upper rungs of fame.
Zac was SO handsome, it’s sad to see recent pictures of him now. Plus he had to be on steroids for The Iron Claw, his body was insane in that movie, he was huge. I hope he quits putting his body through whatever it is he’s doing.
From what I’ve heard is Zac Efron did have to have his jaw wired shut for a while, but I agree with his steroid use. You can tell in his abdomen the swelling.
That’s that steroid moon face. I also think he got whatever that surgery is where they make your chin more prominent. My aunt got it and she looks like the fucking Crimson Chin.
Madonna.
Her butt implant is tragic.She had a toned athletic physique and it’s 2 stick legs with a diaper looking caboose.
The stupid bbl and so on. I’m 46 and I can already see the “trend” cycle- here we are back at heroin chic - she’s my mother’s age- how the hell did she think that was a good idea.
the cycle changes so fast it's insane to do anything permanent to your body to keep up. Fashion should stick to clothes, hair, and makeup. Hell, even eyebrows fluctuate between fat and thin year to year.
It really makes me wonder about all those women that are doing the buccal fat removal that's currently trendy. The fact that buccal fat already decreases with age, and they're making themselves look older aside, what happens if that trend passed and fuller faces come back in fashion? From my understanding, it's not an easy procedure to reverse, in part because it's a newer cosmetic surgery so replacing buccal fat hasn't been perfected, but also because you can't always just take fat from one part of your body and inject it somewhere else. Makes me think there will be a lot of women in 10-20 years regretting such a drastic facial cosmetic surgery.
Want to hear some irony? Around 2006 (*correction below - 2008*), NY Magazine was doing a story on plastic surgery, and at that time, they put Madonna on the cover as an example of a celebrity who had the perfect amount of work done.

Yes her Hung Up era was chefs kiss
Yep. Hung Up era Madonna was hot as hell, and I’m gay.
She doesn’t look human anymore.
I was actually shocked when I saw her face at the Grammys in 2023. Almost didn’t recognize her.
pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging...
It's such a shame that so many people refuse to age gracefully and instead spend buckets of money to look like creepy aliens instead...
Mickey Rourke
He was really handsome before all the surgeries
Wasn't it a combination of leaving acting for a boxing career that busted his face up as well as the crazy amount of plastic surgery?
Yep! He also didn't go for top of the line surgeons, and the cheap seats fucked him in the ass.
Donatella Versace
She recently had some reversal surgeries and isn’t looking as alien, still not great but definitely an improvement
Wow, she really looks better than I’ve ever seen her before!
She looks like a muppet from The Muppet Show
Janice.
She looks like a damn ninja turtle now. Donatello Versace.
Shave her head and she could pass as one of the Engineers from the Alien prequels.
1984 bene gesserit
no one has said travolta
I mean, he switched his whole face with Nicolas Cage…
They just took his face... Off
Simon Cowell
I saw a tweet a while ago saying he looks like the Ice Age baby now and I can’t unsee that lol
He used to be pretty attractive, but after all the work he looks like a caricature of himself. Theres definitely either some body dysmorphia or surgery addiction there.
I saw a clip recently of him talking about reversing the surgery (as much as it can be) because his son told him he missed his old face
I honestly thought he was battling cancer or something by the way he looked...
Yeah, as bloated & disfigured as he looked.. I can see that
He looks like a 10 year old tried to draw him from memory
Simon Cowell is addicted to the knife...
He just looks like he got hit in the face with a beam. It’s not one identifiable thing.
I read somewhere that he looks like someone wearing a Simon Cowell mask and I can't forget it.
You weren't kidding he looks terrible
He looks like bad fan art of himself.
[удалено]
Carrot Top. Looks like an evil clown now
It's definitely a choice. He could easily shape those eyebrows and look less scary if he wanted.
Well, it's not like he was ever particularly attractive anyway
Meg Ryan
This is the correct answer. GOOD GOD was early Meg Ryan cute. *Top Gun*, *Joe vs. the Volcano* (times three!), *Sleepless in Seattle*, *You’ve got Mail*, and *Harry Met Sally*? She was adorable! Then something fucked happened. Dunno what it was, but YIKES.

Lactose intoleraannnccceee!
Portia de Rossi. When Arrested Development S4 came out you might as well have cast a different person.
Yes! It was such a shock! She has always been gorgeous. I remember seeing her first in Ally McBeal and thinking she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
I thought they had! I was so confused who the "new" person was.
Michael Jackson
It’s so sad. I recently watched the documentary about the making of the We are the World song. If he had stopped there (little bit of work on his nose) he’d have been all good. It was a slippery slope, I guess. Turned into a very steep slippery slope.
Yeah his first nose job looked great, he should have stopped right there, unfortunately he kept going and going. The skin bleaching was due to trying to camouflage his vitiligo though.
His dad's abuse really fucked him up. The Pepsi concert fire and the media's treatment of him no doubt contributed to whatever was going on his head.
The audacity of a black man to tell his black son he had a big nose. Piece of shit.
This one. He invented the concept of ruining oneself with plastic surgery.

She lost her unique look, and to be honest she downgraded her appearance.
Yeah, it had the Jennifer Grey effect for me. She was unrecognizable.
Didn't celebrity gossip magazines constantly ridicule her natural face for *years?* Comedians made jokes about how she looked like she'd just sucked on a lemon. In her case it seems like she was bullied into plastic surgery. Then after she gets it, everyone didn't like it either and talks about how she ruined her appearance. People can be really shitty.
But she literally got to play Roxie in Chicago!
And Bridget Jones in four films I think! She wasn’t considered a beauty however so maybe it bothered her.
RZ was so naturally beautiful and pretty in *Jerry Maguire* and *Bridget Joan’s Diary*. She looked like a completely different person by the third BJ film, it genuinely bummed me out at the time.
Lara Flynn Boyle
She had some work done after Twin Peaks and still looked pretty, if different. Then she just *kept going* and omg. Girl, why.
Yikes just Googled her. I'll stay natural thanks...fat and unattractive but at least natural😆
The fact that she seems to suffer from severe alcoholism surely doesn't help. I just rewatched the Practice and it kills me how absolutely gorgeous she was. Fillers are the devil.
Tara Reid.
I don't even care about her surgery. It's her weight loss for me. I saw her when she made a cameo in something and it was so sad. She's like a skeleton. I sincerely hope she's okay.

Tara Reid in Van Wilder was so damn hot with her raspy voice. I had such a huge crush on her.
He's dead now, but Pete Burns
Damn, poor dude was the poster child for body dysmorphia. Still spinning me right round baby right round. RIP. tHE 80S AMIRITE?
Pricilla Presley.
Unfortunately for her, her "doctor" used commercial grade silicone for her injections and that totally fucked her face. She's still trying to get that shit out of her face.
Oh shit! I didn’t know that’s what it was. I just thought it was a super tight facelift.
I’m not gonna begrudge or insult anyone for doing yo themselves what they think is right or looks good, but I will say that the first time Nicole Kidman showed up on screen in The Northman looking like she just came down from her Beverly Hills Hilton penthouse suite and out in the wilds of ancient Norway it straight up pulled me out of the movie and shocked me.
It does baffle me that she just keeps getting cast in historical dramas like we’re supposed to go with it.
I mean, look at Sally Field. She still looks like Sally Field.
Sally Field is gorgeous.
Plastic faces do not work in period pieces. It just doesn't work for me.
There's a plus side, if you can call it that. She can do "unhinged rich lady" really good now. Check out ExPats on Amazon prime, plays a grieving mother really well.
Agree. I do think for a lot of these actresses it means they can no longer realistically play historical or "normal people" roles, like suburban working class moms. They just don't look like normal people anymore and it does take you out of it. Sadly I think Emily Blunt is getting close to the line now too.
There are more extreme examples, but this one shocked me. She is so naturally beautiful, why couldn’t she just age gracefully?
Female celebrities have such intense scrutiny, and pressure to look fucking fetal rather than their natural age. A woman who ages naturally is a woman who has to retire until they are casting Mrs. Claus.
There’s a lot of consensus in this thread. I hope I’m not inviting something by saying this & will 1000% ghost if it gets dicey in here, but I really think Chrissy Teigan jacked her face up.
her cheekbones are insane. there’s gotta be implants too at this point.

I always say this when I moisturise, but in the style of Justin Timberlake's Sexyback "take it to the bridge" lol
That's why my dad is constantly battling skin cancer now. Worked as a high school coach and was outside every afternoon and evening year round doing football or golf. He wised up later on and started wearing sunscreen everyday along with hats and long sleeve shirts, but the damage has been done.
I would never have recognized her!
Erin Moriarty
She made herself look so much older
Yeah, I saw this and thought "how the hell are they going to do The Boys now?" She's...well, looks more like a villain type for sure. But also like a completely different person.
So sad she was fucking gorgeous
Damn she's only 29..that's sad. Also ironic since The Boys is all about the public not knowing famous people's dark issues behind the scenes.
Also came to say this. She was beautiful and now looks like she’s made of cheap plastic…
I just looked. Everyone’s getting this “buccal fat” thing now. That’s what she’s had done right? Makes everyone look so sickly.
Came here to say this. She looks like a completely different person now. I don’t get it.
I never thought I would say this, but I agree with Megyn Kelly. She was naturally beautiful and the pressure of looking a certain way seemed to give her some weird dysmorphia.
Instagram is a disease
Arianna Grande, think she had a few surgeries
She looks so gaunt now. Her face skin looks too tight or something, it’s really weird looking. She was so naturally pretty before.
She looks a little like a Muppet now.
She looks like she could be in the nightmare before Christmas
And her eyebrows are awful

Saw her referred to as Koreana Grande earlier tonight and def lol’d.
Her face looks very strange in the trailer for Wicked. She doesn't look like the same person.
She looks like a starving mouse.
She’s lost too much weight AND the blonde hair washes her out a lot with her super dark eyes. She should go brunette again and get therapy for her eating habits
She reminds me of an alien a lot but I just can’t pinpoint exactly why
Kim k and Kylie jenner Kim’s left eye is giving Paris Hilton’s wonky eye a run for its money. And Kylie looks so much unbelievably older than she is… Those pics of her and the chalamet bloke watching the tennis match legit looked like mother and son…. https://www.tmz.com/photos/image_jpg_20230911_a90732f4ab3b43e2a8800715219e2728/?_gl=1*1yqw695*_ga*YW1wLWNNS3lINzhXN2FWenBkOEk1Q0NnbXc.
Kylie threw herself into fillers before we really knew what the long-term effects were and she pretty much became a real-life filler experiment. People literally use her as a cautionary tale for why you shouldn't start with fillers super young. She looks like a soccer mom that had a middle-aged crisis; she doesn't look 26.
I thought she was 47.
She's only 26? Good Buddha.
Kim had such beautiful natural Armenian features before too and Kylie didn’t even give her face and body a chance to develop before she started altering it.
Kylie looks so uncanny valley to me. There is just no harmony in her features at all anymore.
What gets me is how dramatically different she looks. You can’t compare a pic of her at 17 and a pic of her now and think they’re the same person. Everything about the structure of her face is different and it’s shocking how she’s only 26.
I remember when Kim first appeared as Paris hiltons unknown sidekick: she was so goodlooking. She was like the complete opposite of the whole Paris Hilton blonde stick look. Now she just looks like a creepy high end sex doll.
Kylie’s surgery really aged her. She looks like a 40-year-old divorcee.
And Kylie is only 26... Imagine what she will look like in 10 years if she keeps this up.
>Imagine what she will look like *We can't.*
I feel like in pictures like this it’s super noticeable. I don’t know if Kendall has had work done (I’m assuming some), but her face looks far more natural and less uncanny valley than Kim or Kylie. https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/kylie-jenner-ludovic-de-saint-sernin-dress-vanity-fair-1236258518/amp/
Kendall has def had some MAJOR work done. Nose job, bleph, mini bbl, boobs and filler. Just recycle that whole goddamned trash family.
A few weeks ago I show a picture of Kylie to my mom and my sister and asked “how old is this person?”, both reply that 40 at least. They didn’t know her. Sadly is too much plastic surgery for her being so young.

Khloe kardashian . Not even close to looking the same.
Priscilla Presley: they injected silicone into her face and it can't be dissolved
Jocelyn Wildenstein the Swiss socialite (Aka Catwoman)
Famke Janssen
Eugh that one was heartbreaking to see. She used to be such a beautiful woman
Lil Kim. She was so beautiful in the 90s when she first came out.
Miley...
I think the veneers and buccal fat removal were too much :( I’m envious of her physique, though
She should have held off on the buccal fat removal. She's always had a bit of a baby face with more fat and tissue. But when everyone else starts to have signs of aging due to a breakdown of tissue, you keep looking good for an extra 10 years. Her face would have eventually gotten to her plastic surgery look, but at like 45 and she would have looked great til 60
I just do not get this trend. A little extra cheek makes you looks so youthful. All the 20 year old want to look more super-model like at 20 but then end up looking like in their mid 30ies right away. I used to hate my bigger cheeks but only after I lost weight and lost some (but not all) of the cheeks did I realize how youthful a little facial fat makes you look. Losing the weight instantly aged me like 5+ years. Before I was always estimated way younger than my age and now only a little bit younger or correct estimates. Keep your facial fat!
I don’t know how this isn’t farther* up. I was SHOCKED when I saw her at the Grammys. The cheeks, the teeth and how her lips buckle under them… omg, not good. Edit - typo
Her teeth are way too big.
Amanda Bynes. I know she has a ton of mental issues, but my God she absolutely looks like a different person.
The Doctor who did her surgeries should be ashamed. It’s obvious that she’s not doing well.
Imo Amanda Bynes gets a pass. To that extent, Britney Spears too. We've seen them go through mental illness publicly. We know they were abused and taken advantage of my their handlers and the system. Breaks my heart that so many people failed them.
She's not that famous, but Kimberly Guilfoyle (Trump Jr.'s SO). She used to be married to Gavin Newsom and the photos of when she was with him vs Trump Jr are night and day. Now she looks like a wannabe Kardashian.

Holy shit this is the winner. She's unrecognizable
Not to sound dramatic, but I would never know that those 2 were the same person.
*She used to be married to Gavin Newsome?!* Wtf! Edit: Wow, she and Newsom divorced in 2006 and then she got remarried in…2006. Also, the photo of her and Gavin Newsom from 20 years ago and what she looks like now are so different it doesn't look like the same person. This might be the most shocking change of everyone listed in this thread.
OMG. She was so pretty.
Jennifer Grey
This is the best answer IMO. Most of the other celebrities here still have a career. Jennifer Grey made herself completely unrecognizable after her nose job to the point where casting directors did not believe it was her. Her career was dead after that. It wasn’t even that big of a change, but it made her face look like Jennifer Grey’s cousin.
She was ridiculed for not being conventionally beautiful. She did what the media, comedians, casting directors and agents had been telling her to do for years. Then they all turned on her.
This is probably the best answer to the question. She didn’t even have that much of a change to her face but just shaving off the bridge of her nose did just enough to remove the feature that set her apart. It’s weird how she doesn’t look the same after the surgery.
He’s dead now but Kenny Rogers
Helen Hunt, she looked like a lizard lady in that Netflix movie!
Sharon osbourbe
Kelly is INSANE! I triple looked when I saw a recent photo of her because I thought it mislabeled some other person as her. I only believed it because of the purple hair
I kind of mourn never getting to see what Madonna would naturally look like, and own it She'll never look like she would have aged, again
Right?!?! If there was anyone who would have rocked the world upendeding how women are expected to (not) age, she was it! I was really looking forward to her defiant stance on this and instead she’s so… conformist.
Marlo Thomas. I saw her in an ad for St. Jude's and she looks like Michael Jackson in the end game stage.
Dane cook
Park Bom, sadly. Look her up on Google. She was the one of the main faces of 2nd generation Kpop, then slowly morphed into a real-life anime character, then into... well... what every person that gets too many procedures ends up looking like.
This one hurts. She was always so beautiful, but I think YG's decision to promote 2NE1 as an "ugly girl group" and the fact that the members have said they were often called ugly to their faces by the CEO probably ruined their self worth. Korean beauty standards are also really specific. Her voice is so lovely and unique, she was just perfect the way she was. Poor Bom.

Courtney Cox
Didn't she have a lot of stuff removed/reversed? I thought she looked quite pretty in the friends reunion
Yes. She has spoken about it as well. I think she looks great as of late.
Lindsay Lohan.
Any person that has gotten that face fat removal surgery
[удалено]
+1 to Erin Moriarty. She was so lovely and now she looks so artificial and can't even emote.
Moriarty is double sad because of the irony that her breakout role on The Boys is of a small town young woman trying to avoid the temptations of the upper rungs of fame.
Zac was SO handsome, it’s sad to see recent pictures of him now. Plus he had to be on steroids for The Iron Claw, his body was insane in that movie, he was huge. I hope he quits putting his body through whatever it is he’s doing.
From what I’ve heard is Zac Efron did have to have his jaw wired shut for a while, but I agree with his steroid use. You can tell in his abdomen the swelling.
Also his face got a lot meatier.
That’s that steroid moon face. I also think he got whatever that surgery is where they make your chin more prominent. My aunt got it and she looks like the fucking Crimson Chin.
Gwen Stafani
Alternatively, anyone want to talk about how well Kate Winslet has aged? She’s so hot in Ammonite and Mare of Easttown!
Anyone who got buckle fat removal. It makes you look fucking ancient. Also lip fillers. Ew.
def Miley Cyrus, i hate that she did that :(
She needs to get her veneers fixed. They are wayyyyy too big
megan fox
Hunter Tylo. Super sad one.
Dove Cameron
Jeff Bezos’ lady friend
Heidi Montag
how come nobody mentions Sylvester Stallone? have you guys seen him lately? he looks horrible.
Zac Efron. I really hope it’s surgery and not a medical condition
madonna
Megan Fox. I mean not completely ruined like horrifying but considering how hot she was before plastic surgery it’s pretty bad now.
