Top 10 Worst Cases of Celebrity Plastic Surgery
85A Countdown of Disasters Under the Knife
With the pressure to be beautiful and thin all the while maintaining a youthful appearance, it is no secret that celebrities often resort to plastic surgery. From breast implants to liposuction to facelifts, even the naturally attractive celebrities of our time get plastic surgery to keep up with their competition. Many times the celebs come out looking fabulous but they occasionally end up looking like they were operated on by half-asleep and/or intoxicated surgeons. Others look okay after one or two procedures but then take it too far to the point where they look subhuman. These stories and pictures are proof that even fame and gobs of cash can't guarantee beauty.
10. Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice
Victoria had that cute, girl-next-door look when she was young. She traded that look in long ago to look like a big busted bimbo. There is nothing wrong with big boobs but when you are extremely thin and your boobs look like a pair of canteloupes, it's plain trashy. Perhaps being married to one of the hottest men alive makes her insecure so she likes to have some leverage that she can thrust into his face every once in a while to keep him under control.
9. Vivica A. Fox
Vivica A. Fox is a beautiful woman by nature. She really didn't need to mess with her boobs. They looked just fine before. Now they look like a couple of wilted water balloons. From some angles it's not noticeable but unfortunately for Vivica, those Paparazzi cameras catch EVERYTHING.
8. Brittany Murphy
Remember the 1995 teen flick Clueless? Brittany Murphy played the new geek in town that Alicia Silverstone's character Cher made over into a pretty, popular girl. In real life, Brittany's change in appearance owes to more than just better clothing, makeup, and a new hairdo. The appearance of Brittany's nose has changed drastically over time but for this former ugly duckling, denial ain't just a river in Egypt. Brittany's excuse for her new nose is that she broke it three times (Does she actually think anyone believes that?). The nose job was probably for the better. The problem is her lips. Lately Brittany's lips are much puffier than they used to be. The puffy-lipped look is hot on Angelina Jolie because it is natural. Brittany needs to get some sense and deflate them because she looks fish-lipped.
7. Tara Reid
Tara Reid is open about her bad experiences with plastic surgery. Looking at that tummy, you'd think she had previously given birth to six children but let's not be too hard on the poor girl. She is very embarrassed about the way her stomach looks and told US magazine, "My stomach became the most ripply, bulging thing... I lost a lot of work." The same doc who ruined her abs also gave her a bad boob job. Photos of one of Tara's deformed nipples circulated the internet after a red carpet nipple slip in 2004 and she was devastated. Tara's bad plastic surgery not only made her a laughing stock; it ruined her career.
6. Courtney Love
Courtney Love's change in appearance over the years goes beyond her grunge to glam makeover. Looking at the new pictures of Courtney, you can't even recognize her. After a couple of bad nose jobs, she got her schnoz fixed once and for all and swears to stop getting plastic surgery until she is old and really needs it. I'd believe her except based on some pictures of her bikini-clad bod, her wrinkly tummy a-la-Tara Reid hint to a possible liposuction disaster.
Some folks applaud Courtney's transformation from a sloppily dressed rocker chick to a wannabe Barbie doll but I can't help but see her as a sell-out. Kudos to her for getting off the junk but it is shameful that she left her roots behind. On top of that her overly operated face is nauseating.
5. Donatella Versace
This lady needs to stick to designing clothes and lay off her face. I don't know if it is just genes or because she has had too much plastic surgery but she looks like a tranny. Like Brittany Murphy, she needs to lay off the lip injections. Where has the taste for subtlety gone? If a top fashion designer can't get it right, we are heading in a bad direction. Let's hope that Donatella eventually lets aging take its natural course and stops stretching the skin on her face so much because she is starting to look extraterrestrial.
4. Joan Rivers
Thankfully Joan Rivers has a sense of humor because otherwise I honestly wouldn't be able to tolerate looking at her face. One facelift too many along with a plethora of other procedures has left Joan looking half-Spock, half-Michael Jackson. Nuff' said.
3. Jacqueline Stallone
Don't they look more and more frightening the further you go down the list? Sylvester Stallone's mother was a beautiful woman in the years of her prime. It is inevitable that time takes a toll on your looks but Jackie wasn't ready to give up. A few facelifts, lip injections, and botox sessions later, Jackie looks like none other than The Joker. If she keeps it up, she'll make number one on the list in no time.
2. Jocelyn Wildenstein
You know there is something wrong when you are famous because of your bad plastic surgery. Jocelyn Wildenstein became a household name when her face was splattered all over tabloids for her excessive plastic surgery. Jocelyn is proof that too much plastic surgery will make you look subhuman. A wealthy socialite, she started getting plastic surgery when she found out that her husband of many years, Alec Wildenstein, was cheating on her with a supermodel. Unfortunately, rather than helping matters, the surgery made her so homely and monstrous looking that people started to call her "The Bride of Frankenstein," instead of "The Bride of Wildenstein." She has reportedly spent $4,000,000 on plastic surgery. Mo' money, mo' problems.
1. Michael Jackson
Ah, Michael Jackson. Need I say more? Michael is the poster child of bad plastic surgery. He has had cheek implants, chin implants, nose jobs, blepharoplasties (surgery to fix aging appearance around the eyes), and who knows what else. Not to mention he looks like he has bathed in a tub of bleach every day since the breakup of the Jackson Five. Why did you do it Michael? You were cute back when you had an afro and sang about ABCs. Now you look like an alien at best.
The worst hit is Michael's nose. In a 2002 court appearance, it was clear that Michael's nose could not withstand anymore surgery. It was falling apart before the jurors' very eyes. Ew!!

Thank you! You are right, Donatella really does look like Barbara Streisand! lol
Bravo!
Well done, and eww!
I don't know who is worst Michael Jackson, Jocelyn Wildenstein, or Mrs. Stallone; can only feel sorry for them... so much money and so little taste!
What an array of vanities gone amuck...fascinating! Sick but fascinating!
Crazy world .. :p
Crazy world .. :p
AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Scary photos!!! Wow, totally incredible hub. Awesome work, gumshoe!
Wow! I suddenly feel happy with the aging process. Maybe we DO look better aging naturally. How sad for the botch-jobs...what a shame.
Wow! Am I glad that I have no choice but to age naturally ;) Great Hub.
Where's Kenny Rogers?
At one time in my life I felt bad that I could not afford plastic surgery. Now I am grateful I never started. I have learned how to take care of my looks naturally. There is no replacement for wholesome real beauty, not even plastic surgery. I think the stars of today look like freaks.
Weekend Griller, I couldn't find pictures that portrayed how bad his surgery makes him look so I decided not to put him up here.
Thanks! Now I feel much better about the face I was born with.
Thanks for the great hub. Makes one glad they're not in the media with cameras chasing them around, that's for sure.
How truly sad! Why oh why did they have to do it?
After seeing these pics I niw think I look incredibly good for my age! lol
Yikes! What compels people to do this to themselves?
sheesh, I get happier and happier when I look at myself in the mirror... phew
This is so sad. Why can't people be grateful for what they have? I know I've wished I could have surgery to change some things about my body as it ages, but seeing these pictures makes my thank God for what I have. I'm healthy and that is what really matters.
Thanks for reminding me to be happy with what I have.

I wonder if Kenny Rogers was able to pull all of his really bad after-surgery photos from circulation like Priscilla did of the "Fat Elvis" ones.
Gotta admit though of the ones I have seen, He looks creepy and not at all like he did, but not near as bad as these 10 -- Especially your top (or Bottom) three.
Mark
If we had access to this kind of surgery, would we not be tempted to go for it ourselves - preseve our youth?
the mishael Jackson photo is so sad.
Great Hub
HAHAHHA i loooove it. I actually just had plastic surgery 2 weeks ago..nothing extreme though : )
i am trying to get super thin though...
read about it man
Hi Kumichan, welcome to hubpages:)
These hubs make me so angry and sad!! and the surgeons responcible for these operations that have obviously gone wrong should be publickly outed as i know these celebritys did/do not want to look the way they do! surley not!! If you or anyone knows who they are, lets name and shame them!
There is something so creepy and sad about all this--but it's a terrific hub. Welcome to Hubpages, Kumichan. Will be looking forward to more from you:-)
Horrifying...and hilarious! What some people will do to achieve their idea of beauty. I'd add Priscilla Presley, too.
Well done! The Hub, that is! Mother nature is hard to beat.
Even lots of celebrities are insecure about their looks. It is so disturbing that regular people try to look like them when celebrities are paying tons of money to "improve" their body. But when it goes wrong I guess it really goes wrong looking at these plastic surgery nightmares. The models on covers of magazines are always Photoshoped to get rid of blemishes and wrinkles and extra weight. Can't natural beauty make a comeback. I don't even like makeup at this point.
Actually, the tip of Michael Jackson's nose fell off due to an infection after surgery. It literally rotted away, thus the period when he was wearing the mask over his face. It was reconstructed out of other parts of his body. If you look at some pictures, you can see the line where the new and old meet.
I intend to grow old gracefully, and if anyone doesn't like it, too bad.
This is so sad.. but a great HUB! lol The pressure the media puts on society today to be "perfect" is just unbelievable. These people are a result of their own pride. Please let me enjoy my age and appearance, is all I can hope for!
A young cousin of mine went the Courtney Love route. After tens of thousands of dollars pumped into plastic surgery, my cousin died of a drug overdose. My cousin believed plastic surgery would fix her soul. It did not.
Any surgery is a risky procedure that should be done only if it's needed to save your life.
Welcome to HubPages, kumichan. I hope to read many more of your excellent Hubs.
Great read...wonderful article.
great info...
At least, Dr. Frankenstein had the sensitivity to create his monster out of some already dead people. How freaky! Interesting article.
All I can say is, Yikes! That "Bride of Frankenstein" lady, my god. I feel sorry for these people, honestly. Imagine having to go through life with no appreciation for what you have to offer as a human being beyond your appearance. It's very sad once the horror and laughter dies down. :(
OH MY GOD!!!I cant believe the great lengths ppl go to, to look beautiful & end up looking horrendously ugly.
Natural beauty is the real beauty. Good HUB, thumbs Up.
oh yuck!
Very entertaining hub, I think that a lot of them don't realize just how bad they look.
well.people who are not satisfied with thier looks then,thats the results...they look like a wild monkey in the jungle ...they don'tknow where to put their money,so they spent for their looks and not realizing what would be the effect in the long run..Tsk..Tsk...so sad like that..
This only proves that financial status can't make you beautiful for long and it's alaways best to age naturally because real beauty comes from within.
What a great and interesting hub, very well done for your first one. Welcome to hub pages I am sure you will love it here, as you are already doing so well.
"Everybody is beautiful in the eyes of God"...but hhhhmmmm so hilarious huh!
it wasn't wrong to enhance our looks but unexpectedly it turns out so scarey. so unfortunate...
This is so bad to see people changing from thier normal humanity in to monsters.The young generation i think we should learn from that,we should make the right decisions
Many people decide on having plastic surgery after they've seen the results on someone else. Television shows like Dr. 90210 and Extreme Makeover have lead to a rise in the number of people seeking plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. But these shows do not make it clear that surgery is not for everyone.
hi,
nice article, i book mark it. why don' you make more hubs?
