Going under the knife remains an incredibly stressful prospect to the human body. It’s not easily anyone’s first choice to have a surgeon cut through their skin, no matter how experienced or trained they might be. In one best case, everything goes as intended; you go home feeling healthier while on the road to recovery. But in a worse case, you are left with more problems than you started with.
Surgical procedure does come with a certain level of risk; however, in an industry obsessed with appearance, it’s no shock that celebrities, mostly women, still go under the knife or perhaps undergo cosmetic procedures as often as they do. While some are satisfied with their nip and tuck results, a few deeply regret their choices. From having too many fillers to botched procedures, listed below are some of the celebs who have opened up about going overboard. Scroll on, enjoy their stories!

Victoria, nicknamed Posh Spice, had publicly spoken of how she regretted her stick-on boob implants in the Noughties and had them removed. “I should probably say, don’t mess with your b**bs. All those years, I denied it – stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.” Victoria, 47, told British Vogue in 2017 and added that she hoped fans would embrace their bodies.Molly-Mae Hague.

Kylie isn’t the only Kardashians who have admitted to going extreme with fillers. Sister Khloe has equally done the same. “It didn’t work for me. I looked cr*zy, and I still think the effects are in there. I went to have it all dissolved like three times.” Khloe said, referencing her face fillers.Katie Price.

The surgery queen, Katie, has an estimated 12 boob jobs, lipo sessions, and three facelifts. She recently traveled to Turkey for a body overhaul, including fat injected into her bum, eye, life fits, liposuction under her chin, and even full-body liposuction.

According to her spokesperson, the ex-wife of Elvis Presley claims she was the victim of an unlicensed doctor. “Priscilla was one of many documented victims of Dr. Serrano.

The US actress highlighted how her dependence on injections started to snowball as she got older. In 2017, Courteney claimed she regretted using fillers, Botox, and thankfully she got them dissolved the same year. “Well, what would end up happening is that you go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there. The next thing you know, you’re layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go,’ Oh sh*t, this doesn’t look right.”Mickey Rourke.

This 69-Year-Old actor had his dramatic face corrected with surgeries after boxing messed him up. “Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together,” Mickey told Daily Mail. He equally described how cartilage was taken from his ear to try to rebuild his nose.K. Michelle.

The R&B singer plans on having her butt implants removed. Speaking with B. Scott, Michelle said: “For me, I want my normal shape back. For me, my career right now, and me doing business – like being on the frontline in business – I don’t need to have a man looking down at my a** when I’m trying to talk numbers. I don’t need to be able to get the role.”Kylie Jenner.

Kylie confessed she regretted plumping her lips at age 15. So in 2018, she courageously had some of the fillers dissolved to look more natural. “Well, I made my lips a little too big at one point. I got excited and felt like I needed to do a lot. And then I had to go back and have it fixed, and it was a crazy process. Thank God I didn’t end up on Botched.” Kylie told ALLURE.Heidi Montag.

35-Year-Old Heidi boosted her b**bs to F cups, but years later, she swapped them for smaller Cs. In 2010, she had ten procedures, including a brow life and nose lift. “I couldn’t conceptualize the weight of them in my body. They felt like bowling balls on my chest. I felt inappropriate.” The Hills star told PEOPLE.Linda Evangelista.

Leslie had her lips bodged when a dodgy doctor used silicon. The Men Behaving Badly actress had corrective surgery, which improved her smile, but it didn’t entirely remove the chemicals. “I thought it was a dermal filler that my body would break down. But unbeknownst to me, they used an industrial filler which got mixed up with my muscle. Those are the complications that can happen.” Leslie told This Morning.Tara Reid.

Tara missed important roles after a botched b**b job and lipo on her tummy in the mid-2000s. The 45-Year-Old was left with a rippling stomach from a body contouring and even wonky breasts.

As a result, I couldn’t wear a bikini.” She told US mag US weekly.Janice Dickinson.
