From Khloe Kadarshian to Michael Jackson: 20 celebs who faced unfortunate results with beauty surgeries
1) Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke, a celeb deeply ingrained in Hollywood history has a captivating life story that matches the intensity of his performances in movies like 9 1/2 Weeks and The Wrestler. His charm and natural talent made quite the impact during his career in the industry. However, things took a turn when he ventured into the world of wrestling, a choice that resulted in enduring physical injuries and necessitated reconstructive surgery for his face.
With a painful reconstructive surgery, the mental and physical toll on Rourke was insurmountable. After undergoing a long procedure, Mickey was left with marks on his face and distorted features, which eventually led to an unnatural look.
During an interview with Dailymail in 2009, the celeb opened up about the mental exhaustion after undergoing reconstructive surgery and mentioned:
"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.”
2) Jocelyn Wildenstein
Jocelyn Wildenstein, often dubbed as "Catwoman" due to her feline-like appearance, has long captivated and perplexed the public. Originating from Lausanne, Switzerland, Wildenstein's life took a dramatic turn when she entered into wedlock with Alec Wildenstein, a billionaire art dealer. However, her most remarkable transformation occurred following their high-profile divorce in 1999.
It was reported that she embarked on extensive plastic surgery endeavors in an endeavor to recapture the affections of her husband, known for his affinity towards majestic creatures of the wild.
Wildenstein's appearance has been a subject of discussion for several years. With extensive facelifts, lip plumping, and various other surgeries, her appearance has been taken too far, resulting in an unnatural look. Despite undergoing several changes, Wildenstein has remained quiet about spending money on surgeries and further stated that she feels more bold and outspoken with her new appearance.
However, during an interview, the celeb seemingly busted rumors about her cosmetic surgeries and mentioned:
"I’ve NEVER had plastic surgery and my unrecognisable throwback photo is proof."
3) Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers, the country music singer had a bit of an experience with plastic surgery. He admitted that he made a mistake in picking the person to handle his reconstruction. The changes to his looks were quite evident and he openly expressed regret about opting for the procedure.
The consequences post-surgery were beyond bearable for Rogers, who was openly criticized by the public and his colleagues for not looking masculine for his new appearance. However, even though the surgery failed, he continues to be a heartthrob for fans across the globe.
In an interview with People Magazine in 2006, the celeb opened up about his failed eyelid lift and mentioned that he is not happy about it.
4) Lara Flynn Boyle
Lara Flynn Boyle, the actress known for her timeless Hollywood elegance and memorable performances in The Practice, has recently garnered attention due to notable changes in her facial features. Speculation surrounding these transformations suggests that they could be the result of cosmetic procedures.
Being a renowned celeb, it is believed that Boyle has undergone several surgeries, ranging from rhinoplasty to a facelift to a brow lift. Many believe that her lip fillings have tarnished her natural beauty and have been a subject of constant dislike by the public.
Her change in her appearance is a testament that all plastic surgeries do not have the desired results, especially when not undertaken with utmost precision and perfection.
4) Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson, the renowned "King of Pop," requires no introduction to the world of music. While his contributions remain unparalleled, his achievements have unfortunately been overshadowed by controversies surrounding his extensive plastic surgeries. These controversies have undoubtedly impacted his legacy significantly.
Jackson underwent his inaugural surgery when he mistakenly ruptured his nose during a dance performance, prompting him to get a rhinoplasty. The trail of surgeries after that included cheek implants and even eyelid surgeries. The sudden change in his appearance made fans go berserk, with some detesting the look even as others supported it.
However, the success of numerous surgeries attempted on this celeb remained shortlived as Jackson was diagnosed with Vitiligo. Additionally, the multiple surgeries resulted in breathing difficulties too.
Despite carrying the load of surgeries, the late king of pop remains a legend across the globe.
5) Cardi B
Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper, faced a challenging period when she went through an array of surgeries, including liposuction and breast augmentation, all of which unfortunately resulted in complications that forced her to cancel several shows.
This experience served as a wake-up call for the artist, prompting her to utilize her platform and educate others on the potential risks and complications associated with plastic surgery.
Undergoing all those painful surgeries took a mental toll on this celeb. In response to her growing anxiety post-plastic surgeries, she took to Instagram during the fall of 22 and opened up about her remorse, imploring fans to avoid going plastic:
"In August I got surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers... if you don't know what it is, it's a** shots. It was a really crazy process," she detailed. "All I'm going to say is that if you're young, if you're 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you're too skinny, and you be like 'OMG I don't have enough fat to put in my a**,' so you result to ass shots, DON'T!"
