Beauty is not an option in Hollywood; it is compulsory. As a result, many celebrities turn to cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearances.

You need to be the perfect shade, the perfect weight, the perfect height and have the perfect features to maybe, just maybe, hit the list of successful and fame-worthy celebrities. It's crazy what that kind of pressure does to people.

One day you're happy with how you look, and suddenly the next, you're on the operating table trying to fix a problem that was never there, to begin with. When people end up looking exactly like they expected, they'll be happy for some time, but those who get botched up... well.

A lot of cosmetic surgeons botch up people's procedures. We've seen countless of examples of botched surgeries even on TV, but ever wonder how that affects the victim?

It's horrible, that's for sure. But does that stop people from getting cosmetic procedures?

Of course not. In fact, lately, there's been a trend on TikTok where young influencers film their procedures, encouraging others to do that.

As crazy, or as perfect as they look, don't believe it. To help you see the dark side of beauty treatments, we've compiled a list of celebrities who underwent surgery and later regretted it.
