Being a Hollywood celebrity is no easy feat. They are always in the spotlight and constantly under the scrutiny of the media, with their looks being a constant topic of discussion for numerous tabloids. Thus, naturally, the pressure to look young and retain their youthful attraction may get to them, which explains why many celebs often choose to undergo plastic surgery.

Some well-known celebs, including Nicole Kidman, Victoria Beckham, and Cameron Diaz, among others, have openly talked about undergoing different cosmetic procedures that left them dissatisfied. Here, we take a look at 20 such actresses who expressed similar sentiments.
