There are many celebrities who have had some sort of cosmetic surgery at some point in their lives. Some deny it, some own up to it, but most have had some kind of work done. The pressure to look flawless in the world of glamour and glitz is enormous and as time goes by the ability to keep looking fabulous naturally reduces, and Mother Nature needs a hand.

Celebrities and Liposuction

Liposuction is probably the most common cosmetic procedure in the world today and it’s certainly popular in the world of celebrity. One of the most notable examples being the actress Tara Reid, who starred in the American Pie films of the late 1990’s. She underwent liposuction on her stomach in an attempt to give herself a more toned looking six-pack; however she was left with a dented, disfigured looking area around her tummy which aged her appearance considerably.  Fortunately mishaps like these are quite rare. Celebrities don’t have months to spare in their schedules so liposuction is a quick and convenient way to get rid of this excess weight, even after childbirth in some cases. Oscar winning actress Halle Berry openly admitted to having liposuction after the birth of her child. For someone so reliant on her looks for her career, liposuction can indeed be a godsend.

Celebrities and Botox

Another very common cosmetic procedure amongst celebrities, second perhaps only to liposuction is Botox injections. Celebrities who have been linked to Botox include Kim Cattrall, Liz Hurley, Virginia Madsen, Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell and Kylie Minogue. Some celebrities like Joan Rivers and Virginia Madsen openly admit to using Botox, but others are far more secretive about having Botox or indeed any cosmetic surgery. The prospect of gaining flawless features and combatting the signs of aging can seem even more tempting to celebs seeing as though Botox prices are the lowest they’ve ever been.

Other Celebrities who admit to Surgery

Both Angelina Jolie and Beyonce, widely hailed as two of the most beautiful women in the world, had rhinoplastys (nose jobs), to give themselves straighter and more perfect looking noses.  In 2007 Jennifer Aniston, of Friends fame, even admitted to having a little bit of work done. There are many others, too numerous to mention, who have admitted to having had some form of cosmetic work done on themselves with the pressure to maintain an image of youthful perfection too strong in the 24/7 world of media and celebrity.
