Since the very beginnings of Hollywood, stars have been using surgical procedures to enhance their beauty. Decades later, non-invasive procedures like Botox, laser treatments, and filler mean that basically, no celebrity face goes untouched. However, some celebs embrace the transformative powers of cosmetic surgery more than others. These stars have paid megabucks to enhance their beauty, some with better results than others.
Cher – $750,000
The Goddess of Pop has always been into transformations, both surgically and artistically. Cher has never shied away from her cosmetic procedures, and still looks great in her 70s.
Overall, Cher estimates that she’s spent around $750,000 on cosmetic procedures. Considering many surgeries need to be topped up over the years, it’s no surprise that Cher’s beauty maintenance bill is high. The singer and actress has had eyelid surgeries, rhinoplasties, a chest augmentation, a facelift, dental surgery, and regular Botox.
Iggy Azalea – $40,000
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has undergone quite a transformation since first appearing on the music scene. The star has spoken about her chest augmentation and nose job, and sources speculate she has also had a chin implant, lip fillers, and a brow lift.
The star told Ellen DeGeneres that she didn’t “need” surgery, but that “it’s a personal choice.” She said, “Anybody, man or woman, they should be able to make an informed decision, and if you want to change something, then that’s up to you.”
Khloé Kardashian – $100,000
It’s no surprise that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters are fans of changing their appearance. Rumors of butt implants and lip fillers have always swirled around the siblings, but it’s unclear exactly what procedures they’ve had. In Khloé’s case, sources speculate the star has undergone liposuction or had butt injections.
Judging by recent snaps of the star, it looks like KoKo has had some facial cosmetic surgery. She has previously said that “plastic surgery should be viewed almost like makeup […] and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
Suzanne Somers – $20,000
Known for playing Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company, Suzanne Somers shocked audiences when she underwent plastic surgery in 2010. It’s thought that the star had a stem-cell facelift, which isn’t FDA approved. At the time, while on TV talk shows, her face appeared puffy and bumpy.
Since then Somers is rumored to have had more procedures — including rhinoplasties, lip injections, eyelid lifts, a chest augmentation, and Botox. Now in her 70s, the star is an advocate of a controversial hormone replacement therapy.
Tara Reid – $30,000
Also famous for her sub-par surgery is actress Tara Reid. The 00s star was in a string of hit movies, but poor plastic surgeries ended up stalling her career. Tara Reid had chest augmentation, liposuction, and body contouring in 2004, and the botched results ended up all over the tabloids.
Tara Reid has explained that her early cosmetic surgeries prevented her from landing roles. Thankfully, the damage has since been corrected, and the actress has returned to our screens.
Kris Jenner – $1 Million
It’s no surprise that momager to the Kardashian-Jenner crew has had plenty of plastic surgeries. Indeed, viewers of the family’s hit show have watched Kris Jenner undergo facelifts just in time for special family occasions.
It’s estimated that Kris Jenner has spent around a million bucks on altering her appearance. The star had chest augmentation in the ’80s, and then had her implants adjusted later. Like her daughters, Jenner does deny having a nose job, though she has had dental surgeries and Botox.
Nicki Minaj – $40,000
It’s clear to most people that rapper Nicki Minaj has undergone several surgical transformations. However, the star denies having ever surgically altered her face, putting her sharp nose down to contouring.
It’s thought that Nicki Minaj has had fat transferred to the side of her hips in order to make her waist look slimmer, and her backside bigger. It’s also speculated that the star has had butt implants, a chest augmentation, fillers, and Botox. The “Anaconda” singer has also been accused of doing skin lightening procedures.
Pete Burns – $300,000
“Dead or Alive” singer Pete Burns is a tragic casualty of excessive plastic surgeries. The singer is estimated to have had around 300 surgeries in total, including many corrective procedures. Unfortunately, this led to the “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” singer having “hissing” and pussy skin.
Initially, Pete Burns was seeking “physical perfection” with his cosmetic surgeries. Eventually, he commented about himself, “I’ve got staples, nuts, bolts, stitches, the whole lot. I’m Frankenstein.” Sadly, Pete Burns passed away in 2016, at 57.
Meg Ryan – $30,000
Meg Ryan is another actress whose career ultimately suffered as a result of her cosmetic surgeries. It’s unclear exactly what procedures the actress has had, but sources speculate that she had fat or filler transferred into her cheeks.
For this reason, the actress’s eyes look smaller, making her less recognizable overall. It’s also thought that Meg Ryan has had a nose job, lip fillers, Botox, and a facelift. Overall, the bill for these types of procedures is way over $30,000.
Megan Fox – $60,000
It’s perhaps surprising that Megan Fox has undergone significant surgical procedures. However, it’s a good reminder that even “natural” looking Hollywood beauties have spent considerable cash on maintaining their good looks.
Altogether, it’s thought that the actress has had three nose jobs, a chest augmentation, laser skin resurfacing, cheek fillers, lip injections, an eyelid lift, and Botox. Apparently, Megan Fox’s cosmetic alterations and dental surgeries cost her around $60,000. However, she’s never spoken about any of her cosmetic procedures.
Janice Dickinson – $40,000
The self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel, Janice Dickinson, has also splashed her cash on several surgeries. The model has spoken openly about her various procedures — including a facelift, a browlift, a tummy tuck, chest augmentations, and facial fillers.
In fact, Janice Dickenson appeared on plastic surgery show Botched in order to have her chest implants fixed. Unsurprisingly, living life in the public eye usually leads people to chase the fountain of youth. This is especially true in an industry like modeling.
Joan Rivers – $100,000
Pioneering comedian Joan Rivers was well known for her plastic surgery. In fact, when most people think of celebrities and plastic surgeries, it’s the loudmouth funny woman they think of. According to the comedian, she underwent over 300 procedures during her life. Indeed, the star passed away following complications during throat surgery.
Sadly, Joan Rivers suffered from low esteem and used plastic surgery as a way of trying to feel better about herself. Indeed, this is all too common in Hollywood.
NeNe Leakes – $25,000
When it comes to reality TV stars, there’s usually a correlation between wealth and plastic surgery. In other words, when people get richer, they tend to turn to the nearest cosmetic surgeon. That’s what happened with Real Housewives of Atlanta star, NeNe Leakes.
When she started on the show, Ms. Leakes was a regular-looking person. However, the celeb has since admitted to chest augmentations, liposuction, rhinoplasty, dental surgery, and Botox. It’s estimated that NeNe spent around $25,000 on her celebrity look.
Courtney Love – $25,000
Rocker Courtney Love has commented that she would never have had a career without having a nose job. The Hole frontwoman has been open about her cosmetic procedures, saying she doesn’t regret the rhinoplasty at all.
As well as her early nose job, it’s reported that Courtney Love has had chest augmentations, fillers, and lip injections. Indeed, the singer’s appearance has changed quite a bit, at times making her unrecognizable. Altogether, it’s thought that the musician has spent approximately $25,000 on surgeries.
Cardi B – $50,000
Rapper Cardi B was strategic about her plastic surgeries. The former dancer saved up her tips to surgically enhance her body, and the rest is history. Initially, the celeb had a chest augmentation and butt implants. She has since had another chest augmentation, liposuction, and dental surgery.
The “WAP” singer isn’t shy when it comes to cosmetic procedures, and has said, “I do whatever I want with my body.” However, after undergoing some complications during surgery, the star has said she’s finished.
Kylie Jenner – $2 Million
Another celebrity whose career skyrocketed as a result of cosmetic surgery is Kylie Jenner. The youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling got lip filler as a teen, and created a massive trend at the same time.
Since her initial procedure, Kylie Jenner has kept transforming. It’s speculated that the star has had a nose job, cheek implants, a chest augmentation, butt implants, a chin lift, dental surgery, and an eye lift. Just like the rest of her siblings, Kylie is pretty coy when it comes to admitting what work she’s had.
Sharon Osbourne – $250,000
Sharon Osbourne was Ozzy Osbourne’s girlfriend and manager, but she didn’t feel pretty enough to be with a rock star. As a result, she turned to cosmetic surgery. Since the ’70s, the TV personality has had arm and leg lifts, liposuction, a gastric bypass, rhinoplasties, facelifts, and Botox. It’s thought that the celeb has spent around $250,000 on transforming her appearance.
Speaking about her procedures, Osbourne has said there isn’t much of her body not “tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether.”
