Celebrities, surgery and regret: 12 illustrated cases
Going under the knife is not always synonymous with rejuvenation. Donatella Versace, Jessica Simpson or Cher know it, today they regret it and do not hesitate to confess it.
The operating room is not always the solution. In fact, it is sometimes the problem. Faced with a physical complex, you should not always act with a scalpel. Dr. César Casado, specialist in Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital of La Paz, responsible for the area of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the IO Clinic in Madrid and an expert in secondary surgeries (in fixing damage to others, so that it is well understood), resolves our doubts regarding this issue. He tells us that in his office he fixes, above all, breast disasters. And based on his experience, he warns:
"It is necessary to be adequately informed of the degree of the plastic surgeon who is going to intervene on the patient and make sure that the surgeries are going to be performed in hospital centers with the appropriate security measures. 1,200 plastic surgeons, it is estimated that there are about 10,000 people performing procedures for which they are not trained or qualified. " And he adds: "To avoid disappointment, we must distrust the centers where relevant interventions are carried out outside the hospital setting and immediate results are promised at low cost."
And as this is a problem that is not limited only to those who seek low cost, here are examples from Hollywood itself, where doctors are also wrong.
Retouching with reverse
The number of operations that is appreciated each year in photocalls and red carpets grows exponentially while the famous ones lie trying to convince us that their youthful aspects are due to eight hours of sleep and liters of water. Although not all lie. Some, in fact, confess to having operated and having been worse than before. Get to know them:
Jane Fonda, perks of the trade
Despite being clear that the operating room is part of the beauty plan when you live on your image, the actress has not always been satisfied with the work of surgeons. "I increased my breast because I thought it would give me self-confidence, and it did for a while. Afterwards, my husband told me that he hated prosthetics and I started to hate them too," she explains. That's why he took them off. One more operation to add a lift, a blepharoplasty, a chin lipo, that she knows.
Nicole Kidman, finally!
After years of denying the evidence and on the verge of tickling her ears with her eyelashes, Kidman admitted to having been hooked on botox. Apparently she didn't like it either and she has promised not to do it again. I can finally move my forehead!, She teased her.
Victoria Beckham, in favor of the elegant
After rising to fame as one of the Spice Girls, I repeat: of the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham knew how to redirect her path and now, not only does she not carry the aesthetics of popstar but she is considered a style icon. So much so that she now has a natural but well-placed breast, thanks to a pectoral lift that she did after removing the prostheses.
Cameron Diaz, no more botox
She admits that she spiked herself on some botox and she looked so weird that she didn't like it at all. According to him, he prefers to notice how her skin ages before her face changes to the point of not being recognized in her.
Jamie Lee Curtis ... Whoa, what for?
She always says that going under the knife was a real nightmare. Putting aside the postoperative aches and pains, which he did not imagine so terrible, the result did not compensate him. "Nobody tells you that if you suck fat from one area, it comes out of another," she claims with her sense of humor intact. For her, cosmetic surgery is absolutely expendable. "It doesn't work, that simple. I did a little liposuction, I got a little botox shot ... and nothing," she protests. And she adds, "Do you know of a single person who's cosmetic surgery hasn't made a weird look?"
Cher does not approve of (one of) her surgeries
A woman known for having more operations than a calculus book, she only complains about one intervention: that of breasts. "They were worse off than without surgery," she argues. Apparently, she botched him.
Jessica Simpson: no more fillers
The American singer thanks heaven for the absorbable fillers. Some time ago he injected Restylane on her lips and she didn't like it at all. "She was very artificial," she told reporters. She never will again. Or so she says.
Demi Moore, cleavage back and forth
She denies having gone through the scalpel, however it is a fact that to shoot the movie Striptease in 1999 she wore breast prostheses that later magically disappeared. Connoisseurs believe they can also detect liposuction of the abdomen and a knee lift.
Can anyone imagine who I am?
This actress, whom Patrick Swayze will never let anyone corner, went into surgery to remove the bridge of her nose and came out of it with a face that was not her own. She looked so different that she contemplated changing her name and restarting her acting career.
Courteney Cox, never again
After her aesthetic doctor got out of hand, she decided to give up botox for good. "I looked very strange without being able to move my face well. I felt trapped in my own skin," she declared.
Courtney Love, where are my lips?
On one occasion, Kurt Cobain's widow acknowledged that she regretted having the injection. "I had a really cute mouth with big, pretty lips. I want them back," she implored. She, too, would not hurt if the rest of the cosmetic operations that she has done on her face were undone.
Denise Richard: she was young, she needed the money
The most important thing when having plastic surgery is choosing a good doctor, something Denise Richards did not do. From her She put herself in the hands of one who decided for her and placed a prosthesis much larger than she wanted. "I lost the rush. I should have looked more before choosing the doctor," she confessed. She thus did she in her second operation, replace those prostheses with other minor ones, suffering a new disappointment. Despite everything, she went into the operating room a third time to get a more reasonable size. This time, she got it.
