The actress, who rose to fame in hit teen soap Gossip Girl, has neither confirmed or denied changing her looks through cosmetic surgery, but when you look at her pictures side by side, it seems clear that her face has changed a little. In newer photos, her nose appears thinner and more sculpted than it was when she was just starting out. There has also been speculation that she had her eyelids lifted and undergone skin smoothing procedures.
There have also been rumors that she has had breast augmentation surgery. Either with or without surgery, Lively, who married fellow actor Ryan Reynolds in 2012, looks amazing. The couple have three daughters which we’re sure keeps their hands full.
Katie Price - (Estimated) $617,000
Katie Price is an English model turned TV star, turned businesswoman, which would explain where she got the money to have so many plastic surgeries at just 41 years of age. Price has never been shy to admit her countless surgeries, which include eight breast implants, a nose job, veneers over her teeth, liposuction, several Botox injections every year, and regular dermal fillers. And by looking at the photo below, we believe all of it.
Unfortunately, as many celebrities know, too much plastic surgery can be disastrous and leave people looking completely unrecognizable, which definitely seems to be the case with Katie. But, rumor has it the model/TV star is quite satisfied with her procedures and plans to keep getting under the knife. To each their own.
Wendy Williams - (Estimated) $16,000
The famous American TV host, businesswoman and author, Wendy Williams has openly admitted to having some work done. Mainly, breast implants, a nose job, several Botox injections and face lifts. She even filmed herself having a jawline Botox injection on her show once!
Back in 2009, Williams talked openly about her breast implants on her show, saying, “I wanted the body that matched my personality. And the body I have now matches my personality.”
Kaley Cuoco - (Estimated) $12,000
Ever since 'The Big Bang Theory' premiered in 2007, it became an instant TV favorite. And so did the show's blonde bombshell, Kaley Cuoco. But it wasn't until 2016 that Cuoco admitted to having had a breast augmentation, and a nose job years before that, and some face fillers now and then. However, the actress is adamant about the importance of healthy eating and working out regularly to keep in shape.
Cuoco describes her breast surgery as "the best thing I ever did". In an interview with 'Woman's Health', the actress said, “As much as you want to love your inner self, I’m sorry, you also want to look good,” she said. “I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else, but if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing.” We have to say that we totally agree.
Cindy Crawford - Unknown
During the 80s and 90s, you couldn't flip through a style magazine without finding Cindy Crawford in it. Once the most beautiful and famous supermodel in the world, this American beauty is now 54 years old, and like the rest of us, has had to deal with the passing of time. Crawford is well aware of this fact, which is why she's openly admitted to using vitamin injections, collagen and Botox for the past 15 years.
The former supermodel claims she owes her looks to a healthy lifestyle - drinking lots of water, eating clean food, and exercising. But when it comes to the "quality of her skin", Crawford proudly credits plastic surgery, claiming that, past a certain age, no matter how many creams you use, it just won't be enough without having a little work done. Although there are rumors of cheek implants and a face lift. Guess we will never know for sure.
Stassi Schroeder - (Estimated) $20,500
Stassi Schroeder was one of the stars of the American TV series, 'Vanderpump Rules'. The show was a spin-off of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', so you can imagine how much pressure Schroeder was under to look like a Barbie doll. The New Orleans-born TV star admitted to having a breast lift and reduction in 2015.
Schroeder has also become a popular blogger, and has written that she's also had Botox injections and a chin implant. Although there are also rumors that she's had her lips filled, it remains to be confirmed.
Julie Chen - (Rumored) $5,000
Most people know Julie Chen from her work as a news anchor and producer at CBS, and for being the longest-running host of the American reality TV show, 'Big Brother'. But most fans had no idea that Chen had had plastic surgery until she revealed it in an interview in 2013. And it wasn't your avergae surgery, it was a cosmetic procedure to look her "Asian eyes" look bigger.
The news anchor says she faced racial discrimination when she was 25 years old, when her boss said she was too Chinese to be on TV. Even though Chen was very conflicted before having the procedure done, she says she has absolutely no regrets, claiming that "No one's more proud of being Chinese than I am. Every decision I've made … it got [me] to where we are today, and I'm not going to look back."
Ariel Winter - (Estimated) $7,500
Ariel Winter made her big screen debut when she starred as Alex Dunphy, the nerdy good daughter in 'Modern Family'. But she's certainly come a long way from that sweet little girl she played on the show. Winter admitted to getting a breast reduction when she was only 17 years old, after the back pain became insufferable.
The young actress said it was the best decision she ever made, and it helped her get back her confidence. Well, she's certainly grown into a beautiful woman, and that new red hair color makes her look even more stunning!
Courteney Cox - Unknown
Back in the '90s, Courteney Cox was one of the most beautiful women in TV, making her big debut as Monica in the beloved sitcom, 'Friends'. But like many other TV stars, the pressure of aging got the best of her, and she went overboard with fillers and face lifts. In the last 10 years, Cox has become almost a cautionary tale for plastic surgery, making her fans gasp every time they see her latest look.
Fortunately, Cox has come out recently and openly admitted to having deep regrets about her surgeries, saying that she's had most of her fillers dissolved and has learned to "age gracefully".
Cardi B - (Estimated) $30,000
If there is one celebrity who is unapologetic about her plastic surgeries, it's singer Cardi B. The 27-year-old Bronx native has admitted (although you can tell by simply looking at her) to having breast implants, a breast lift, liposuction and even butt injections after giving birth to her daughter in 2018. The rapper hasn't been shy to defend her choices on social media, saying that her strenuous lifestyle doesn't allow for actual exercise and workout and, more explicitly, "I do whatever the f--k I want to do with my body”. And to be fair, she's completely right.
However, Cardi B might have hit her plastic surgery limit after she was forced to cancel several shows because of complications. Apparently, she didn't take the time to recover properly from her last surgery and just kept on working non-stop, which obviously landed her right back in the hospital. At least it got her to stop going under the knife.
Paul Stanley - Unknown
Paul Stanley is the guitarist and co-lead vocalist of legendary rock band, Kiss. And while he managed to survive most of the madness that came with the band's fame through most of the '70s, '80s and '90s, his face certainly didn't. Stanley has admitted to having several face lifts, eyebrow lifts, a nose job, a lip job, and several Botox injections.
But the most impressive surgery Stanley had was an ear reconstruction back in the 80s, after a congenital deformity had caused him to have a stump for an ear. A surgery that allowed Stanley to be a part of KISS in the first place, since he would've been completely deaf otherwise. The guitarist had his right ear reconstructed from his rib! Although it is pretty obvious that the rock legend has had extensive work done on his face, he still looks pretty good for a 68-year-old. Remember, he's not your regular senior, he's the guitarist of KISS. So all in all, we'd say he looks fine.
Dina Manzo - (Estimated) $8,000
Dina Manzo reached celebrity status after appearing in the popular Tv show, 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'. But, like many other TV stars, Manzo faced criticism after some of her fans accused her of getting a nose job in 2019. Shortly after, she confirmed it was true, and said she wouldn't address the rumors regarding the fillers. The TV star said that, even though she had no regrets about her nose job, it was a big adjustment.
The Brooklyn-born Manzo also said that she loves Botox, but that a healthy lifestyle is definitely the secret to staying youthful and beautiful.
Teresa Giudice - (Estimated) $10,000
After making her debut on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey', Teresa Giudice became a well-known name in TV. And while it was pretty clear that she had had some work done in the last few years, it wasn't until January of 2020 that the New Jersey-born TV star admitted to having had a second breast augmentation. Her first was twelve years before!
It has also been rumored that the fiery New Jersey housewife has had some fillers on her lips and face, and an eyebrow lift, and we wouldn't find it at all surprising.
Angelina Pivarnick - (Estimated) $13,500
A Staten Island native, Angelina Pivarnick made her claim to fame when she appeared in the first two seasons of MTV's 'Jersey Shore'. She then went on to appear on VH1's 'Couple Therapy', and finally, in 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation'. In the last few years, Pavernick has slowly been transforming into a different-looking person, as you can clearly see in the photo below. In 2020, the TV personality revealed she'd had a breast augmentation, a lip filler, a nose job, and an eyebrow lift.
She maintains that her breasts are her favorite part of her body, and even though we sincerely hopes she's done with surgery, something tells us Pavernick already has too much of a liking for that surgery knife.
Chrissy Teigen - (Admitted) $7,000
American model Chrissy Teigen has always been known for her candid, lighthearted humor and her on-screen charisma. But before she became a cookbook author and the famous host of 'Lip Sync Battle', Teigen was a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and quite a famous one at that. So, it wasn't surprising when she admitted to having had breast augmentation surgery back in 2006, when she was a young 20 years old.
Although her decision as a young model made perfect sense, Teigen claims that she regrets having the procedure done. Especially because implants don't fair very well when it comes to breastfeeding a new baby!
Tom Cruise - (Admitted) $8,000
Although the famous Hollywood legend Tom Cruise has only ever confessed to having a nose job in the early days of his career, many people suspect that is far from the end of his plastic surgery adventures. After showing up at the 2016 BAFTA awards looking like a balloon, it got harder to deny the Botox injections.
Although the 'Mission Impossible' star hasn't confirmed the Botox rumor, it is clear that he has definitely had more work done since his nose job many years ago. Don't worry Tom, none of us can beat time, not even you.
Jennifer Aniston - (Estimated) $30,500
When you spent most of the '90s being the stunning Rachel from 'Friends' and married to Brad Pitt, it must be excruciatingly hard to accept that you're aging. Which is why Jennifer Aniston has spent over $30,000 in plastic surgery; supposedly, two nose jobs and a face lift in the last twenty years. But that's just the actual plastic surgery.
Apparently, Aniston cleans out her bank account when it comes to beauty, spending more than $1.5 million on a strict regimen of laser and ultrasound facials, and eyebrow lifts. Yikes!
Fredric Brandt - Unknown
Dr. Fredric Brandt was known among the Hollywood elite as the King of Collagen, and for good reason. This celebrity plastic surgeon believed so firmly in his own treatments, that he was constantly giving himself Botox and collagen injections. It seemed that nothing was ever enough for the doctor, who already suffered from severe depression.
Sadly, Dr. Brandt committed suicide in 2015. He was mourned by his many celebrity friends, among them Kelly Ripa, Madonna, and countless more.
Jane Fonda - (Admitted) $5,300
Jane Fonda is perhaps one of the only celebrities in Hollywood that knows how to get plastic surgery. The woman is 82 years old and looks phenomenal., and the reason is because the legendary actress knows she should never overdo things.
Fonda has been gracing the screens with her acting, her fitness routines and her activism since the '60s, and she's learnt a thing or two. Like when to go under the knife, and when to avoid it at all costs. Apart from Botox injections here and there and a little nip tuck under the eyes and around the neck, this gal owes her beauty to her healthy and fit lifestyle.
Rita Ora - (Admitted) $30,000
The talented Rita Ora took England by storm with her beautiful voice. But this singer wasn't always as confident as she looks on stage today. Ora admitted to having breast augmentation, Botox injections, and some nose work, and she doesn't regret a minute of it.
Since she was already having surgery, Ora decided to get some of her teeth relocated and bleached, too. After all, it is incredibly important for a singer to have a beautiful smile, and this English music queen certainly has one.
Michael Jackson - (Rumored) $1 Million
The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, who passed away in 2009, was famous for his massive transformation which took place over the entire span of his career. To this day, Jackson is considered one of the most talented musicians in history, but his strange behavior and the startling changes in his appearance are his legacy just as much as his music.
The photos clearly show the change in his appearance which occurred over time. Jackson denied undergoing procedures to lighten his skin and claimed that he had a skin condition called Vitiligo, which caused his skin pigments to became lighter. The singer did admit to having two facial surgeries performed when he was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It is believed that he also underwent a jaw reconstruction, eye lifts, nose jobs, and many other surgeries.
Joan Rivers - (Rumored) $99,000
Beloved comedienne Joan Rivers, who sadly passed away in 2014, knew how to make us laugh and occasionally winch when she said something extremely inappropriate. Rivers managed to make a name for herself in the male-dominated field of comedy, at a time when such a thing was almost unheard of, and became a legend for it.
Joan Rivers refused to grow old, gracefully or otherwise and kept herself looking young through cosmetic means. She kept working and performing well into her 60s and 70s and pretty much for her entire life. She holds the record for minor procedures undertaken by one individual with an unbelievable 348. That is more than any other celebrity or a regular person.
Kim Novak - (Estimated) $9,000
Actress Kim Novak began working in films in the 1950s, and her most famous roles were in Picnic, The Man with the Golden Arm, and Vertigo, which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Her career took a turn for the worse in the 60s, when she took a step back from blockbusters and made some mundane pictures. She finally quit acting completely in 1991.
Most people assumed that Novak would retire quietly and that she would not be seen in Hollywood again. The actress decided to take measures against that by undergoing a variety of serious cosmetic procedures including cheek implants, a brow lift, and Botox injections. When Novak appeared in the 2014 Oscars by Matthew McConaughey’s side, it was hard to believe that she was the same woman.
Heidi Montag - (Admitted) $1 Million+
Former reality star Heidi Montag, who recently appeared in the reboot The Hills: New Beginnings, has called herself a proclaimed plastic surgery “addict.” She may be more well known for her physical transformation than for her work on television or for the albums that she’s released as a singer.
Heidi revealed in 2012 that she had spent more than a million dollars in cosmetic procedures. She even had 10 procedures performed in one day once, including a nose job, breast implants, a butt enhancement, liposuction, and a brow lift. She claims that her desire to keep getting work done stems from her insecurities, but has added that she regrets getting carried away.
Nicole Kidman - (Rumored) $1,400
Esteemed actress and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. She has been a movie star for decades and still looks incredible in picture after picture. How does she keep herself looking so well after all these years? The actress claims that she has had some work done on her face, but was not happy with the results.
She said, “I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it now I can finally move my face again.” Well, sometimes you have to see for yourself what something is like and since we assume that it got in the way of her acting, maybe it’s for the best that she gave it a rest. Fortunately, the costs weren’t that high either.
Tori Spelling - (Estimated) $13,000
Actress Tori Spelling came to fame when she played Donna Martin on hit teen drama Beverly Hills 90210, which was recently revived after 20 years. Over the years, she has also starred in several reality shows with her husband Dean McDermott. She underwent breast enhancement surgery in her early twenties, but has come to regret it, since she became a mother.
She talked about the experience when she was pregnant with her third child, telling how she got her boobs done in her early 20s, but if she had known it could possibly impact the production of [breast] milk, she would never have had them done.
Mickey Rourke - (Rumored) $36,000
Former boxer and actor Mickey Rourke did a number of memorable films in the 80s, but then quit acting for a while and went back to boxing. He came back to acting full time in the mid-90s and has been fairly busy ever since, but as the years went on, Rourke became more and more obsessed with his appearance.
According to one source, “he’s hooked on surgery.” Most of the surgeries that have been performed on him were on his face. He has had a nose alteration and an astounding six facelifts. It is believed that Rourke spent $36,000 on these changes to his appearance.
Clay Aiken - (Estimated) $11,000
Famous for coming in second on the second season of reality singing competition American Idol in 2003, Clay Aiken is a talented singer whose career has prospered in the past two decades. He has had a little work done, but his reasons for doing it sort of make sense, since he was having surgery on his jaw anyway.
“I had operative surgery on my jaw for a TMJ thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there,” he stated.
Kylie Jenner - (Rumored) $2 Million
At just 22 years of age, Kylie Jenner is the youngest celebrity on the list to have had cosmetic surgery. Seems like getting some work done is a rite of passage in the Jenner Kardashian clan. She rose to fame at an early age and along with being a reality star, is also a model and has her own billion dollar cosmetics company. We guess that looking good is part of her brand and therefore it is no surprise that she decided to make some improvements along the way.
Although Kylie claims that she has not been under the knife, it is believed that she has had her share of filler injections to fill out her face and plump up her lips. Others claim that she had body modification surgeries at an estimated total of $2 million.
Megan Fox - (Rumored) $8,000
Known for her extraordinary good looks, actress Megan Fox, began acting at a young age and appeared in the blockbuster franchises Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Even before getting some work done, she was already a famously beautiful actress, but fans noticed some changes to her appearance around 2013.
The actress has denied it, but it seems clear that she has had some alterations done. It is believed that she has undergone breast augmentation, cheek implants, lip fillers and Botox. Despite her denials, a comparison between her old and new pictures shows the truth clearly.
Jessica Simpson - (Estimated) $2,000
Singer, actress and reality star Jessica Simpson, famously starred with her ex-husband Nick Lachey in a reality show about their relationship. Many fans were heartbroken when it didn’t last, but the two have since gone on with their lives. We are glad to see that Jessica is now doing well and happy, even though she wasn’t happy when she experimented with enlarging her lips.
Simpson tried getting lip injections in the past, but she was not happy with the results. “I had that Restylane stuff,” she told Glamour magazine in 2006, adding that she was disappointed in the results. “It went away in like four months…[but] thank God! [They] looked fake to me. I didn’t like that.”
Blake Lively - (Rumored) $7,500
The actress, who rose to fame in hit teen soap Gossip Girl, has neither confirmed or denied changing her looks through cosmetic surgery, but when you look at her pictures side by side, it seems clear that her face has changed a little. In newer photos, her nose appears thinner and more sculpted than it was when she was just starting out. There has also been speculation that she had her eyelids lifted and undergone skin smoothing procedures.
There have also been rumors that she has had breast augmentation surgery. Either with or without surgery, Lively, who married fellow actor Ryan Reynolds in 2012, looks amazing. The couple have three daughters which we’re sure keeps their hands full.

Sharon is famous for speaking her mind and for her unique sense of style and was ranked as the 25th richest woman in Britain on the 2009 Sunday Times Rich List.
She talked to Female First about her physical transformation over the years, saying, “”I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted, too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipo-ed and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and implants inserted, and I had my legs lifted… The total cost was $160,000 and it was worth every last penny.”
Tara Reid - (Estimated) $9,500
Tara Reid was a teen star in the 90s and appeared in wild comedies like American Pie, Van Wilder: Party Liaison, and My Boss’s Daughter. She is still appearing in movies to this day, including the Sharknado trilogy and has also been a contestant on reality show Celebrity Big Brother.
In 2004, the actress went in for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation but the procedure was botched and left her feeling bad about herself. When speaking about her liposuction, Reid said: “I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.” She has since had surgery to repair the damage and showed her body off in a 2009 issue of Playboy Magazine.
Octomom - (Rumored) $13,000
Tabloid sensation Nadya Suleman or more famously known as “Octomom”, came into our lives in 2009 after she artificially inseminated herself and ended up giving birth to octuplets. We can’t even imagine what it was like to carry eight kids, give birth to them, and then have to raise them all.
No wonder she decided to treat herself, spending an estimated $13,000 on rejuvenating her lady parts, rhinoplasty, and getting her lips done. She returned to the public eye in 2013, after an adult video in which she starred was released and even won an award for best celebrity tape. We hope her kids never have to hear about that.
Suzanne Somers - (Rumored) $9,000
Late actress Suzanne Somers hit the scene in 1970s when she appeared as Crissy Snow on the successful sitcom Three’s Company. And it was hard to recognize Somers as the same woman decades after her role on the show came to an end.
Her looks changed so much, that everyone was talking about the work she had done. It is believed that in her lifetime, Somers underwent breast augmentation, lip injections, Botox injections, and eyelid surgery. Somers did not discuss the work which may have been done on her body and face, but the late actress opened up about her preference for treating cancer through alternative medicine and a healthy diet. However, she passed away in 2023 after her cancer returned.

Singer and actress Cher was a superstar in the late 1960s and early to mid-1970s. Cher and her ex-husband Sonny Bono, became household names when they released their duet song “I Got You Babe”. Her singing success led Cher to land roles in movies and modeling jobs, which may have led to her appearance on this list.
As an A-List celebrity, Cher was determined to look her best. She is not shy about having had some work done. She is believed to have undergone Botox injections, eyelid alterations, rhinoplasties, and chest augmentations. The total for all these procedures is in the neighborhood of $750,000.
Khloe Kardashian - Unknown
The final Kardashian to make our list is Khloé. She was not a household name like her sister Kim until the family’s reality show blew up and she became especially famous when she started dating and quickly married NBA player Lamar Odom. Viewers got to watch their relationship blow up in their own reality show, Khloé & Lamar. Over time, Khloe’s looks have changed and she looks quite different than when she was younger.
“I think plastic surgery should be viewed almost like makeup because we’re all putting on a [expletive] mask basically every day anyway,” Khloé has said. “When you dye your hair, you’re changing who you are, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” It is unknown how much her transformation cost, but judging by the results, it was not cheap.
Holly Madison - (Rumored) $32,000
Playmates as a whole are a beautiful bunch, but even among them, Holly Madison’s beauty stands out. Madison has undergone cosmetic procedures on her face and breasts and she claims that those changes helped her get what she wanted in life.
“Living with Hef brought down my self-esteem a lot,” Madison said to Life & Style. “I was comparing myself to the other girls … You have to look a certain way at the mansion. Plastic surgery made it easier for me to get things I wanted in my career. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. My nose photographed really big in front of my face. If I wanted to do anything in the entertainment industry, I needed to get it fixed.”
Vivica Fox - (Rumored) $26,000
Vivica A. Fox got her start on soap operas Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless in the late 1980s. In the decades since, she has had plenty of memorable roles, most recently on hit show Empire. She has always been a beautiful woman, but as someone who has been in the television industry for over 30 years, she knows what it feels like to grow older, while new and young actresses come to Hollywood every day.
In order to keep herself looking young, it is believed that Fox has undergone several cosmetic surgeries. She has apparently had work done on her chest, as seen in the picture. She has also undergone Botox and lip injections and is suspected of having had a nose job. It is estimated that the work she had done, set her back about $26,000.
David Gest - (Estimated) $20,000
American producer and television personality David Gest is perhaps best known for his close relationships to big stars which helped him make a name for himself. Gest was famously married to Liza Minelli for a while and was a close friend of international superstar Michael Jackson. Together they produced the highest rated musical special in television history, in which he reunited Michael Jackson with the Jackson Five.
His friendship with Michael Jackson, as well as his time on screen was enough to convince him to get some work done, and he ended up getting quite a lot. Gest has had multiple facelifts, a brow lift, Botox injections, and had fat suctioned from his chin to create a more defined jawline. He has gone on record to say that he regrets going overboard with cosmetic surgery and that the cost, which is estimated at $20,000, was bankrupting him.

This life-changing transformation began with some small steps. In the 1980s and 90s, Jenner went through a couple of rhinoplasties and laser hair removal procedures. In January 2017, Jenner went through cosmetic and sex reassignment surgery. She underwent about a dozen surgeries to her face and body, which took over ten hours in total.
La Toya Jackson - Unknown

In the late 80s and early 90s, La Toya posed for Playboy magazine, allegedly to promote her memoir, which was titled La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family.
Sadly, La Toya has had so much work done to her face that her, “nose has collapsed, just like her brother Michael’s did.” Sources close to her claim that she has been in denial about appearance for many years, and blames allergies for her breathing problems.

Azalea dropped off the map for a while after her first album, but is back in the limelight after releasing her second album in 2019.
According to the singer, she felt that she could be fuller in the chest area and didn’t like her nose and it seems like she decided to do something about it. I didn’t [need plastic surgery],” Azalea said when talking to Ellen DeGeneres, that it was just a personal choice and everyone should be able to make an informed decision, and if they chose to change something about their bodies. Don't you agree?

What a list! But hey, we love how honest she is about it. Kathy Griffin once told Fitness magazine in regard to her plastic surgery: “I’ve had [a] face-lift, eye job, and all that stuff. It didn’t help me one bit. It didn’t get me happier or make me look particularly younger.” So, just note that there's no guarantee that cosmetic surgery will make you feel any better about your appearance.
Lil' Kim - (Rumored) $19,625
People always change over time, but not as drastically as singer and rapper Lil’ Kim. Born as Kimberly Denise Jones, she rose to fame in the mid-90s after being discovered by Notorious B.I.G. She was an enormous success, selling over 15 million records, but after going to jail for one year, she seemed to fall off the map for a while.
When Lil’ Kim came out of prison, her new look stunned her fans and not everybody was supportive. The singer is rumored to have undergone $5,000 of skin lightening treatments and spent a reported $8,000 on breast implants. She also had $4,000 worth of work done to her nose and about $3,000 worth of liposuction performed on her body. Geeze!

Lara Flynn Boyle is most famous for her work on 90s television sensation Twin Peaks, as well as legal drama The Practice and the feature film Men in Black II. As she got older, Boyle tried to preserve her youthful appearance by undergoing several cosmetic surgeries. Looking at her now, it seems like the surgeries did not have the desired effect, making her look older and almost unrecognizable.
She had some serious work done in 2006, including getting a nose job, lip augmentation, facial fillers, and a brow lift. Sadly, all these procedures ended up causing her face to swell and sag, making it hard to reconcile her with the way she looked at the beginning of her career.

When the singer underwent a lip treatment that went wrong, he had about 300 follow up procedures in an attempt to fix his ravaged lips. Burns has said, “When I’m 80 and get to heaven I want God to not recognize me”. He also revealed that he does not know how many times in his life he has gone under the knife.

The sweet faced actress who was once an admired movie star, received severe backlash from the public for her changing looks. Plastic surgery expert Mark Youssef even said about Ryan that “She’s had too much done”. She has undergone a multitude of procedures, including a neck lift and numerous fillings. Unfortunately, all of those surgeries have done her more bad than good, and left the actress looking plasticky and fake, and far different than she used to.

Looking back, however, she does have some regrets. “I wish I never did it,” she revealed. “I had great boobs. Now I’m going to have to get them redone at some point. I like to look like myself. I like imperfections, but you also want to look your best. I think lasers would be a good place to start if I was feeling like doing something.” That is an unusual statement from someone with a family which seems to heavily rely on cosmetic alterations.

She decided to rectify the situation, saying, “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.

It is not easy or cheap to have yourself turned into a human feline, but don’t worry too much about her finances. She can clearly afford the unbelievably large price tag all her procedures have run up. According to the Mirror, Jocelyn has spent more than anyone else on her transformation, she’s at $6.7 million and we’re not sure she’s done yet.
