Celebs who are unrecognizable after having plastic surgery

Being under the spotlight can be fun at times. However, having to deal with it on a daily basis is not an easy job. Stars often find themselves on the cover of magazines with every minuscule aspect of their appearance discussed. It can feel like you’re living under a magnifying glass.

The paparazzi chase them with cameras often, and that can take a toll on their insecurities. This is probably why some of them take permanent measures to fix things they don’t like about themselves. But sometimes, the solution might end up worsening the problem. Here’s a list of the most extreme plastic surgery of the rich and famous.

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.
