Celebs who are unrecognizable after having plastic surgery

Michael Consuelos – From Baby-Faced Cutie to Hollywood Heartthrob

Blink, and you might mistake Michael Consuelos for his dad, Mark. The resemblance? Uncanny. The glow-up? Undeniable. Born in 1997 to TV royalty Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, he’s gone from a chubby-cheeked toddler to a suave, leading man in the making.

By 2024, he wasn’t just looking like his father—he was acting like him, too, landing roles that showcased his talent (and his genes). His performance in “Dissocia” turned heads, proving he’s got more than just a famous last name. Between Hollywood gigs and family hangouts, Michael effortlessly balances charm and ambition and a little bit of that Consuelos swagger.

Nicole Kidman – Botox & Upper Lip Injections – Around 2004

Nicole Kidman has been acting ever since the early ‘80s. So naturally, we have had the chance of witnessing her grow into the wonderful person that she is today. From her debut performance in Bush Christmas to her current projects, Big Little Lies and 2020’s The Undoing, she has always captivated her audience with her performances.

She hasn’t gone without having done her fair share of modifications, though. The differences first started showing back in 2004. Even though some botox and upper lip fillers are visible, the now-52-year-old Moulin Rouge! star still looks as stunning as ever.

Joan Van Ark – Rumored Facelift, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty – Around 2007

Actress Joan Van Ark is famous for starring in television soap operas such as Knots Landing and Dallas. She was one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation, but her obsession with beauty and youth altered her features permanently. It’s obvious that the results of her procedure were not the most successful.

Von Ark justified her decision saying that plastic surgery has become the norm in Hollywood these days. Joan’s unfortunate appearance might be due to a combination of botox and a blepharoplasty. In 2017, she played a role in the TV movie Psycho Wedding Crasher.

Lisa Bonet – Botox and Lip Augmentation – Around 2000

A lot has changed since Lisa Bonet starred in The Cosby Show in the ‘80s. Not only has she gotten a divorce from Lenny Kravitz, but she has also remarried. She exchanged vows with actor Jason Momoa in 2017. Although Lisa has been known for her beauty, she has had some minor jobs done here and there.

It’s safe to speculate that she started her botox sessions in the early 2000s. Some even say that that was around the time when she first had lip augmentations as well. Nonetheless, she’s now 51 years old and she has undoubtedly aged gracefully.

Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, Duchess of Alba – Rumored Facelift, Rhinoplasty, and Lip Augmentation – Around 2000

The 18th Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, was the head of the House of Alba, one of Spain’s aristocratic families. She once held the most titles among all the aristocrats in the world after inheriting 40 titles⁠—aside from the dukedom of Alba. However, she was also seen as the epitome of excess plastic surgery.

The Duchess of Alba always refused to talk about her appearance or the aesthetic work she had rumored to have had. But just by looking at her, it’s quite obvious that she had her facial features altered a little bit too much⁠—possibly with the use of botox and fillers. Unfortunately, she died in 2014 from pneumonia complications.

Ray Liotta  – Rumored Facelift – Around 2016

Ray Liotta rose to prominence after starring in the films Goodfellas and Field of Dreams. He’s also a renowned film producer and voice actor. Unfortunately, there’s something else creating a buzz around him aside from his talent. The actor has been sparking plastic surgery rumors for years now.

The talks only strengthened when he made an appearance in the 2016 SAG awards—where he was nominated for his performance in the miniseries Texas Rising—looking… tight. Liotta looked very different from his former self, and people immediately started tweeting on how he looked unrecognizable. Ray has a couple of movies coming up in 2019 including El Tonto and Mary Saints of Newark.

Donatella Versace – Botox  – Around 2014

Donatella Versace is a fashion designer and the former head of her late brother’s fashion house, Versace. She stepped up to take the reins of the company after the murder of her older brother, Gianni, in his Miami mansion in 1997. Over the years, Donatella has become an icon of the fashion industry in her own name.

But her looks has been constantly changing with the passing of time—and definitely not in a natural way. Donatella herself has admitted her looks are a little bit manufactured. Although, she only has confessed to using botox on her face. She claims the rest of her appearance is thanks to good skincare and beauty products.

Jocelyn Wildenstein – Rumoreed Cheek Implants, Facelifts, and Lip Fillers – Around 1999

Jocelyn Wildenstein was born Jocelyn Dayannys da Silva. Wildenstein met art dealer Alec N. Wildenstein when she was a guest on his ranch in Africa. Jocelyn, also known as “Catwoman” by the press, is famous for indulging in a lavish lifestyle that includes an obsession for cosmetic procedures.

Jocelyn always sparked controversy in American media for her appearance and repeated surgeries. This side of her was very publicized by her ex-husband amid their nasty divorce. However, both she and her second husband, Lloyd, claimed that Alec exaggerated the stories and that she has always had feline eyes. Either way, the change is evident as she looks like a completely different person.

Heidi Montag – Rhinoplasty, Breast Augmentation, Brow Lift, Botox – Around 2010

Reality TV star Heidi Montag is one of the celebrities who took their love for plastic surgery to the extreme. Heidi, a former cast member of The Hills, underwent an astonishing number of 10 plastic surgeries in only 24 hours when she was only 23 years old.

She has had a handful of procedures done on her face and body. The surgery was so intense that she almost died in the OR. The sad part is that she ended up looking older after so much effort and risk. Heidi is set to star in the new The Hills reboot called The Hills: New Beginnings.

Jennifer Grey  – Rhinoplasty – Around 1989

Actress Jennifer Grey became internationally famous after playing the lead role in the iconic film, Dirty Dancing. She played Baby, a teen girl who falls in love with Patrick Swayze’s character. Several years after doing the film, she decided to correct something that had always bothered her. She had surgery performed on her very distinctive nose.

Jennifer had a rhinoplasty in the early ’90s to remove the hump on the back of her nose. Unfortunately, her career cooled down at a rapid pace after that decision. Her nose was actually part of her signature look, and she was far too unrecognizable post-surgery to continue her commercial success. Jennifer’s most recent film was 2019’s Bittersweet Symphony.

Mickey Rourke – Rhinoplasty, Cheek Reconstruction, Rumored Facelift – Around 2009

Mickey Rourke is an American actor famous for starring in the films Angel Heart, The Wrestler, and Sin City. Those last two earned him several award nominations and accolades, including a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination. He’s explained in an interview that he had to go under the knife to reconstruct damages from his boxing past.

Nowadays, his face looks quite different from how it used to look a few years ago. He has revealed that he had several nose jobs and cheek reconstruction. Rourke probably had a hair transplant to fix his thinning mane as well. He was last seen in a segment of the 2019 film Berlin, I Love You.

Carrot Top – Rumored Face Lift and Cheek Fillers – Around 2013

Stand up comedian Carrot Top also looks like he’s had some help against time. We’re not sure if it has worked or not, but he definitely has puffy features that make him look like he’s had face fillers. He’s always denied it, though.

Extremely annoyed by the rumors of surgery and his alleged abuse of steroids, he has answered that he just wears a lot of makeup and maintains a constant workout routine in order to look good. Just check him out in his latest movie, 2016’s Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, and you be the judge.

Sylvester Stallone – Facelift – Early ’00s

Even though Sylvester Stallone has gained the reputation of being quite the tough guy over the years, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had his fair share of insecurities surrounding his looks. As a result, the difference between him in the Rocky movies in the ’70s and in the upcoming Rambo: Last Blood is quite visible, age difference aside.

His facelift started becoming noticeable in the early ‘00s. There have been speculations about him having hair transplants and even more about him getting some botox injections. But overall, he has managed to maintain a stunning physique and career!

Courteney Cox – Botox & Fillers – Around 2010

Anyone who has followed Courteney Cox’s career understands how Friends has shaped the most part of it. She’s become loved throughout the world for her performances. However, she didn’t just get wiser and more talented with age, she has also filled her face with fillers.

The operations started to become visible around 2010, by which time botox injections and lip and cheek fillers had taken over her face. However, she recently understood her mistake and revealed that she had taken most, if not all, of the fillers out. Her most recent project has been producing and starring in 9 Months with Courteney.

Demi Moore – Breast Implants & Liposuction – Early ’00s

Demi Moore has never shied away from expressing her opinions about the strictness of the media when it comes to body image. On the other hand, she’s never shied away from being its victim either, since it was speculated that she has spent more than $300K for cosmetic surgeries here and there.

It is speculated that other than having had breast implants in the late ’90s, she’s also had a more recent nose job as well as liposuction on her knees to maintain good-looking legs. No matter what, she still gives incredible acting performances just like in the 2019 movie Corporate Animals.

Daryl Hannah – Rumored Botox and Fillers – Around 2012

Daryl Hannah rose to face when she starred in the 1984 film, Splash. She’s also been in other films like Blade Runner, Kill Bill, and Steel Magnolias. Daryl is part of the club of celebrities who have vehemently denied having had any work done.

However, it’s not very easy to believe her just by looking at her pictures. Her face doesn’t seem to have many wrinkles as it normally should have at her age. But who knows? Maybe she just has an incredible skincare routine. Daryl recently played the main role in the web series titled Sense8 from 2015 to 2018.

Loni Anderson – Breast Reduction Surgery – Around 1971

Casting the obvious cheek lift, nose and lip jobs aside, Loni Anderson has also added and removed breast implants. Given that we’ve been watching her closely since the late 70s when she was starring in WKRP in Cincinnati, it’s not surprising that she’s undergone some changes over the years.

The reason she decided to reduce her breast size could very well be associated with health concerns or she may have simply had a change of heart. However, with her being 74 years old and having just completed her contract in the series My Sister Is So Gay, she still manages to look wonderful to this day.

Nikki Cox  – Rumored Lip Augmentation – Around 2008

Actress and comedy writer Nikki Cox is mostly known for the shows Unhappily Ever After, Nikki, and Las Vegas. Born in Los Angeles, California, in 1978, she started acting at the tender age of 10 years old. She has appeared in a myriad of shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Baywatch.

Despite looking fine at the age of 41, Nikki definitely looks like she’s had some work done. The most obvious modification is her lips; especially the top lip that seems larger than the bottom one. Although she never admitted it, she looks too different to be natural. Nikki was last seen in 2009’s Lonely Street and The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Delta Burke -Lip and Cheek Fillers – Around 1999

Delta Burke gained recognition from her role in the series Designing Women which aired throughout the 80s and 90s, Delta’s career and transformation have always been carefully monitored by the media. From the changes in her weight to her face, she had created a completely new image by the time she appeared in an episode of Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings.

After gaining weight in the 90s, it is speculated that by 1999 she received cheek implants as well as lip fillers. Even though some of her fans were opposed to her cosmetic surgery, at the end of the day, we must admit that Delta still looks beautiful despite the adjustments.

Julia Roberts – Face Lift – Around 2019

In 2019, it was reported that Julia Roberts had started undergoing esthetic surgery procedures, all in an attempt to save her marriage with Daniel Moder. The report stated that she possibly received breast implants as well as a face lift in order to pause her aging progress.

However, Julia has always been outspoken about her views on this subject. According to her, not having a face lift was a risk that she was willing to take. Even though she reportedly hasn’t had one yet, it will be interesting to see whether she will in the future; not like she needs one anyway.

Bella Hadid – Rhinoplasty and Lip & Cheek Fillers – Around 2014

Even though Bella Hadid is quite young, she is a world-renowned model. It comes as no surprise, though, given her absolutely stunning facial features and long legs. However, it has been widely speculated that ever since she blew us away in 2013 she has done a lot of facial modifications.

Starting from rhinoplasty, and moving on to lip and cheek fillers, the changes have now become clearly visible. Also, Bella dyed her locks blonde in 2019 leaving all her fans shocked, as she continues to reinvent herself. But no matter what, Bella has always been and will continue to be beautiful.

Paul Stanley – Ear Reconstruction – Around 1982

Paul Stanley is the co-lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock band Kiss. He has also co-written many of the hits of the iconic band. Peter was actually born with a birth defect called microtia, which led him to seek professional help to deal with it.

The condition consisted of the absence of the ear on his right side. Instead, Stanley only has a mass of cartilage on that area. That was why, at age 38, he underwent reconstructive surgery on his ear to fix this issue. Aside from still rocking out with the band, Paul and his bandmate Gene Simmons invested in a restaurant called Rock & Brews.

Pete Burns – Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Lip Augmentation – Around 2002

English singer Pete Burns was credited with creating an anthem for new wave dance music. He was the vocalist of the band Dead Or Alive, which rose to fame after the single You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) put them on the international charts.

Peter has always caused controversy in celebrity news with his androgynous appearance and unusual looks. Unfortunately, he’s an example of how damaging constant surgeries can be. After he had a botched lip surgery, he went on to spend 18 months trying to correct it. Pete revealed that he suffered from many ailments. He died in 2016 at age 57.

Rodrigo Alves – Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Shoulder Implants, Face Lift – Around 2018

Brazilian-British television personality Rodrigo Alves is noted for his extended use of plastic surgery and body modifications. This peculiar hobby of his gained him the moniker “Human Ken Doll” from the press. He has built an entire career out of it, though, and has appeared on TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother and Botched.

In 2018, Rodrigo made news when he spent a lot of money to undergo over 100 procedures. He’s had nine nose jobs, rhinoplasties, liposuction, fillers in his face and body, and a number of facelifts. His appearance now looks extremely unnatural and a little bit shocking, but he claims that he’s happy with the results.
