Celebrities are constantly hit with plastic surgery rumors, but very few actually come out and reveal what they've had done. And when they do, the stories behind their decisions can be surprisingly candid. So, here are 20 celebrities who have openly talked about the plastic surgery they've gotten:
1. In 2025, Simone Biles opened up to People about having three surgeries: a breast augmentation, a lower blepharoplasty, and earlobe reconstruction. She said the eye surgery addressed hereditary under-eye bags that photographers had commented on for years, while the earlobe surgery repaired damage from an earring being ripped out when she was younger. Biles said she tries to be "as transparent as possible" about cosmetic work and added, "As long as you love yourself, that's really all that matters."
2. Lisa Kudrow got a nose job when she was 16, the summer before she transferred to a new high school. She recalled to the Saturday Evening Post that the surgery was "life-altering" for her at the time. "I went from, in my mind, hideous, to not hideous," she said, adding that plenty of people at her new school never knew what she looked like before. Kudrow called it a "good, good, good change."
3. John Stamos revealed that he's had two nose jobs. He said he broke his nose after being hit with a golf club as a kid, then got his first rhinoplasty while starring on General Hospital in the '80s because he didn't like how it looked. Stamos wasn't happy with the result, writing, "Let's call it what it was — vanity," before later having it redone by Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon. He joked that he quickly became the "double-nose-job guy."
4. Kaley Cuoco admitted that she'd had both her nose and breasts done. "Years ago, I had my nose done and my boobs — best thing I ever did," she told Women's Health. Cuoco also said she'd recently gotten filler in a line on her neck she'd had since she was 12 and made it clear that cosmetic work should be a personal decision.
5. Tyra Banks revealed that she had surgery on her nose early in her modeling career after dealing with nasal bones that were "growing and itching." She said she could breathe fine, but chose to add a cosmetic component to the surgery. "I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose," she said, adding that she felt a responsibility to be honest about it.
6. Josh Peck confessed that he got a lower-eyelid blepharoplasty after putting it off for three years. While filming Turner & Hooch, the director of photography told him he was getting "a little tough to light," and Peck said seeing himself every week on his video podcast was getting to him, too. John Stamos also encouraged him to do it, and Peck later said, "It's the best. It's really easy."
7. Jennifer Grey recalled undergoing two nose surgeries after Dirty Dancing, with the second needed to fix a problem caused by the first. She said the change left her unrecognizable to some people, including an airline employee who didn't believe she was the actor on her ID. "It was like being invisible," Grey said, adding that the effect on her career was "devastating."
8. Kylie Jenner first discussed getting breast implants on The Kardashians, saying she had them done at 19, shortly before becoming pregnant with Stormi, and later wished she'd waited. Then, in 2025, she responded to a TikTok user who asked for the exact details. Jenner wrote, "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! Silicone!!!" and also named her surgeon, Garth Fisher.
9. Bella Hadid revealed that she had one nose job at 14. Looking back, she said she somewhat regretted the decision because she would have liked to see how her "ancestral nose" grew in as she got older. Hadid also pushed back on years of speculation about other cosmetic work, saying the rhinoplasty was the surgery she'd actually had.
10. In early 2025, Meghan Trainor had a breast lift with small implants after considering plastic surgery since she was a teenager. She told People that pregnancy, weight changes, and having two children had changed her breasts, and that she needed both a lift and an implant to get the shape she wanted. She chose 290 mini implants, which she nicknamed her "cutie booties," and called the surgery "my present to myself." She then said, "These are the boobs of my dreams."
11. Megan Fox revealed on Call Her Daddy that she'd had one nose job in her early 20s and three breast augmentations over the years. She said the breast surgeries included her first augmentation at 21 or 22, another after she finished breastfeeding, and a more recent revision. Fox also confirmed Botox and filler and said she'd had one other surgical procedure that she wanted to keep private.
12. Priyanka Chopra Jonas recalled on The Howard Stern Show that her nose surgery began as a medical procedure to remove a polyp from her nasal cavity. She said a mistake during the operation changed the appearance of her face and affected some of her early acting opportunities. Chopra Jonas later returned to the doctors for corrective surgery after her father encouraged her to try again.
13. Jamie Lee Curtis revealed on 60 Minutes that she got plastic surgery at 25 after a cinematographer on Perfect refused to shoot her one day and said her eyes were "baggy." Curtis called the comment "very embarrassing" and said she had surgery after the movie wrapped. Asked how it went, she answered, "Not well," adding that she regretted it immediately.
14. Chrissy Teigen admitted that she'd had liposuction on her armpits. She called it the "dumbest, stupidest thing I've ever done," but said the procedure made her feel more confident afterward and that she'd do it again. Years later, she joked that the result wouldn't last forever. She said, "No regrets except it clearly came back."
15. John Cena got a hair transplant in November 2024 after years of WWE crowds calling attention to his thinning hair. He told People that the comments pushed him to research his options and learn more about hair and scalp health. His biggest regret was waiting so long because of the stigma around hair restoration. Cena said the transplant "completely changed the course of my life."
16. Cardi B has talked openly about several cosmetic procedures over the years. People reported that she got breast implants at 18, later received biopolymer butt injections, and eventually had most of those injections removed. She has also spoken about getting rhinoplasty and other procedures, saying in 2024, "If I want to correct something or do a little something something, I'm going to do it."
17. In 2009, Heidi Montag underwent 10 cosmetic procedures in one day. She detailed procedures including breast implants, a brow lift, Botox, a nose-job revision, fat injections in her cheeks, a chin reduction, neck liposuction, and having her ears pinned back. Montag also said she had liposuction on several areas of her body to contour her figure and described the recovery as extremely painful.
18. Iggy Azalea first confirmed getting breast implants and later addressed reports that she'd had a nose job. When Seventeen asked her about the rhinoplasty, she admitted it directly: "I'm not denying it. Denying it is lame." She added that she didn't think people should feel ashamed of changing something about themselves and pointed to her previous openness about her breast augmentation.
19. Dolly Parton has talked openly about cosmetic surgery for decades. She told CBS News, "I've had lots of work done. I'll have some more done when I need it." She also said she'd had her breasts "pumped up, and fixed up" after losing weight and joked that if she saw something "sagging, bagging and dragging," she'd get it addressed.
20. Lastly, Joel McHale revealed on the We Might Be Drunk podcast that he's had four hair transplants and spent about $10,000 on them. He said, "Yeah, I'm fully bald... This is four transplants." He explained how his earliest procedure used the older strip method, which he described as painful, while newer techniques remove follicles individually from the back of the head instead. McHale called the newer approach "a miracle" and joked that he could recommend someone in Turkey, while warning, "You get what you pay for."
