Celebrity Confidential: Famous Faces and the Allure of Plastic Surgery

What compels us to want to scrutinize the faces and bodies of celebrities like a road map? Why are we so obsessed with how they look? Perhaps it’s because of the value that we place on beauty and looking as healthy, youthful, and as vital as we can be—and what’s so wrong with that? Many of the world’s best surgical procedures are oriented at enhancing the patient’s natural physical or facial traits and their beauty.


If a celebrity has highly attractive looks that appear to stand out above the rest, we can develop an innate interest and curiosity as to why they look the way they do–and how they got there. In many cases it’s because they’ve undergone some form of cosmetic or plastic surgery to help them achieve a look that seems to defy aging and, in some cases, gravity.


But one of the last great Hollywood taboos is admitting to having work done. Whether it’s a simple Botox injection or a more extensive surgical procedure like breast implants, Brazilian butt lifts, or face lifts, stars who go under the needle or the knife tend to keep a tight lip (no pun intended) about it. But in today’s age of transparency, a handful of brave and forthright celebrities are coming clean about their experiences with plastic surgery and cosmetic injectables



At Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics, we offer a wide variety of surgical and non-invasive medical aesthetic procedures to help you look and feel your best. Many celebrities have taken advantage of the improvements and youthful rejuvenation effects that cosmetic and plastic surgery can do for them, and so can you! We’ve even helped some of those celebrities realize their cosmetic surgery visions, though we’re not at liberty to disclose exactly who. But here are a few well-known celebrities who’ve made headlines because of the enhancements or surgeries they’ve had and embraced:


Kris Jenner

The Kardashian-Jenners are high-profile celebrities and the world’s most famous family. Millions of people follow them in the media. When it comes to beauty, many followers are under the impression that they’re the embodiment of glamour, fashion, and good looks. The matriarch of the clan, Kris Jenner, is no exception. Kris has had a number of maintenance procedures and surgical enhancements to fight the signs of aging over the past decade, such as Botox, fillers, injectables, and facials. Kris also underwent breast augmentation prior to 2005. Overall, her results have been good. She looks natural and not overly done. Her lips and cheeks look full and healthy, and she has used Botox and fillers to fight aging and wrinkles.


“You have to do what makes you feel good first of all. You can’t do something because somebody else wants you to do it. You have to do great research on the doctor that you choose.”

-Kris Jenner, from plasticsurgerylook.com


Kris makes a good point–you have to have the trust in a great doctor to do the work. Dr. Tehrani is a top-notch, board certified plastic surgeon that strives for exceptional care and results for his patients. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he’s a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was also named one of the Top 10 Doctors in New York. He’s one of New York City’s most highly-regarded plastic surgeons.


Kim Kardashian

Kim’s procedures have been the subject of great speculation, particularly her hips, thighs, and buttocks. Although the procedures she actually has undergone have been subtle, she looks fabulous from what she’s had. Kim is a fan of fillers, and has been open about using them. In fact, the reality star proudly said in 2010 that she had tried Botox injections and claimed that it’s the only type of cosmetic surgery she’s ever had done.


Cardi B

The famous rap artist shared that she had undergone liposuction to remove unwanted body fat before her 2019 Beale Street Music Festival performance. Prior to undergoing liposuction, Cardi had a second breast augmentation after giving birth to her daughter, Kulture.


Chrissy Teigen

The beautiful model and wife of superstar John Legend, revealed that she underwent liposuction to remove unwanted fat from her armpits in 2017. Two years later, she shared that she had gotten Botox injected into them, and it was life changing. According to the star, it was one of the best decisions she’s ever made.


NeNe Leakes

The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared that she has had fat removed from around her waist, and has also undergone rhinoplasty ( ), mastopexy (breast lift), and breast augmentation procedures. As she expressed:


“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself…I just wanted a tune-up. I still wanted to look like NeNe, the Black woman that I am, but a version.”

Sharon Osbourne

The Talk cohost said that she got liposuction to tighten loose skin in her neck following dramatic weight loss.


“After losing half my body weight, I had flesh hanging everywhere…I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipped, and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and implants inserted. And I had my legs lifted…I love cosmetic surgery.”

-Sharon Osbourne, from Britain’s Night and Day magazine


Osbourne has also undergone a tummy tuck, body lift, butt lift, thigh lift, eyelid lift, breast lift, and Botox injections to help her achieve a total facial and physical transformation and rejuvenation.


And female celebrities aren’t the only ones who look to plastic and cosmetic surgery to provide enhancements they feel are necessary to maintain their image!


Ronnie Ortiz-Magro

The Jersey Shore star made the decision to undergo liposuction in order to maintain his famous six-pack abs. His procedure—a laser high-definition liposuction of the areas in between his abs—was even documented on an episode of The Doctors.


Clay Aiken

The American Idol alum revealed in 2012 that he had gotten liposuction in his chin while undergoing a procedure to treat symptoms caused by a temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).


“I had operative surgery on my jaw for TMJ thing, and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there. I was like, ‘You know what, while I’m already down, go ahead and take the vacuum in there and suck the fat out of my chin.”

-Clay Aiken, from Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
