16 Celebrities Who Regretted Their Cosmetic Procedures

Many celebrities have admitted to having cosmetic procedures to preserve their youth, or going under the knife to change their insecurities. While some of them are happy with the results, there are also a few who’ve regretted their procedures and decided to age naturally instead.

We at Bright Side made a list of celebrities who are happier with a more natural look.

1. Cameron Diaz

In a 2014 interview for ET, Cameron Diaz revealed that she had tried Botox in the past but she didn’t like the results of the procedure, because she didn’t recognize her new face. Since then, Cameron has been an advocate of natural aging. She also loves her smile lines because their presence means she “smiled her whole life.”

2. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow has also tried Botox before. She is not against all cosmetic procedures and might try some more in the future, but she never wants to do Botox again. In Gwyneth’s own words, after Botox, she “looked crazy.”

3. Kylie Jenner

Growing up, Kylie Jenner was insecure about her thin lips and turned to injections and fillers to make them fuller. And while she wouldn’t like to go back to completely natural lips, she said that at one point she went too far. It was a painful experience that she wouldn’t like to repeat in the future.

4. Jennifer Grey

Jennifer Grey got a nose job in 1989, a few years after starring in the iconic Dirty Dancing. But over the years, she started to regret changing the shape of her nose and blames the surgery for negatively affecting her career.

5. Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson tried lip injections, but said in a 2006 interview for Glamour Magazine that she was relieved when the effects went away. She didn’t like how her lips looked and didn’t want to repeat the procedure in the future.

6. Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling got breast implants in her early 20s. Later the implants negatively impacted her ability to breastfeed her children, and that’s why she has regrets about the surgery.

7. Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis, like many other actresses, experimented with cosmetic procedures in the past. But she admitted that none of them worked as she had hoped for. That’s why she’s been advocating for graceful aging ever since.

8. Melanie Griffith

Melanie Griffith said she didn’t realize she had gone overboard with her plastic surgeries until people started pointing it out for her. Hurt by these comments, Melanie started going to a different doctor who helped reverse some of her procedures.

9. Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian admitted to changing her hairline with electrolysis. She used a laser to get rid of the baby hairs on her forehead, but years later she didn’t like the results anymore. She even said that she misses her baby hairs as they made her look more “youthful.”

10. Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke is another person on the list of celebs who regret plastic surgery. He thinks he went to the ’wrong guy’ for his procedures and doesn’t like the end results.

11. Linda Evangelista

Linda Evangelista regrets the puffy face she got as a result of a cosmetic procedure. She said she doesn’t feel like her old self any longer.

12. Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen had her breast implants removed in 2020 after having difficulties breast feeding. She said the main reason why she got implants in the first place was because of her modeling career.

13. Priscilla Presley

Priscilla Presley had a botched procedure on her face that she eventually regretted. The injections turned out to be harmful and unsafe, which the actress spoke out about later.

14. Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale also eventually decided to remove her breast implants. She had the procedure reversed in 2020 because of some undesirable side effects.

15. Cher

Cher said her breast augmentation made her look worse than before. The procedure clearly did not deliver what the famous singer had hoped for.

16. Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman tried getting Botox but, in her opinion, the procedure left her face frozen. Nicole said she didn’t want to try anything else in the future because she was happy that she could “move her face again.”
