When it comes to looking better in Hollywood, almost nothing is off limits. Whether that means weight loss drugs like Ozempic taking over or scheduling a visit to the best plastic surgeon in town—there’s nothing celebs won’t do to ensure they stay looking snatched.

So it’s in that vein that we thought we’d take a look at a handful of famous folks who’ve undergone some sort of cosmetic procedures whether BBLs, liposuction or something in between.
Let’s get into it!
Nene Leakes
Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Nene Leakes has gone on record and confirmed she’s received a nose job, breast augmentation, liposuction and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL.) Her surgeries and “new look” were recently the talk of the town thanks to Amanda Seales.
Vanessa Williams
Though she admitted to not getting a facelift, fillers or Botox (anymore), actress Vanessa Williams said she does get “micro-current and nano-current technology,” telling PEOPLE back in July 2024: “I want to look like myself. I want people to know this face has lived. That’s kind of where I am at at this point, at 61.”
Cardi B
Rapper Cardi B first received breast implants at age 19 before later getting breast augmentation surgery and liposuction in 2018 after the birth of her daughter. She also received a rhinoplasty for her nose and butt injections, which she later removed.
Kelly Rowland
In 2008, Destiny’s Child singer and actress Kelly Rowland opened up about getting breast implants going from an A cup to a B, explaining to PEOPLE at the time: “I was sick of not fitting into my tops. There was this one really hot House of Dereon top — I just wanted to fill that out…It is a decision I made for myself. I like it, and that’s all that counts. For young people: Think about it before you just jump off and do something (you may regret later),”
SZA
Singer SZA has been candid about getting her Brazilian Butt Lift, telling British Vogue just this month: “I’m so mad I did that shit. I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid. But who gives a f**k? You got a BBL, you realize you didn’t need the shit.”
Jasmine Guy
In a post to Instagram on Dec. 9, “A Different World” star Jasmine Guy posted a before-and-after video of a PDO Filler Thread a.k.a. facelift she received at a medical aesthetic boutique in Atlanta.
“From our initial consultation to the follow-up visits, l’ve felt truly supported and confident in your expertise. Your professionalism, attentiveness, and thoughtful approach have made a significant difference in my treatments,” Guy captioned in her post. “I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to answer my questions and explain my options. I deeply appreciate your dedication to my health and well-being
Janet Jackson
It’s no secret that Janet Jackson underwent surgery to change her nose at age 16. And while it’s pretty apparent that the “Control” singer’s face has certainly gotten more youthful with age, she insists that she hasn’t had any work done but she does believe in “zhuhz-ing” a bit.
Lil Kim
Rapper Lil Kim’s first foray into plastic surgery came in 2004 after suffering domestic abuse from her then boyfriend. In the years after, she’d reportedly go on to receive more nose job work, cheek implants, lip injections, breast implants, though she’s been quiet about it and has only said she’s gotten “fixed up.”.
Kanye West
Back in 2018, rapper Kanye West shocked everyone when he revealed to TMZ that he got liposuction two years prior to silence chatter about his weight.
“I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y’all. I got liposuction because I didn’t want y’all to call me fat, like y’all called Rob [Kardashian] at the wedding, and made him fly home before me and Kim got married. I didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction.”
Wendy Williams
Though former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams never got a face lift, she’s been open about receiving a breast implants, tummy tuck, liposuction and botox.
Michael Jackson
Perhaps one of the most talked about celebrities when it comes to plastic surgery is the late King of Pop Michael Jackson who first underwent surgery to change his nose back in 1979. While he only ever confirmed just “one or two” more nose jobs, speculation that Jackson kept working on his nose continued in the years after. The “Beat It” singer also underwent chin implant surgery so that he could have a dimple in it but denied all other rumors about cosmetic procedures done to his eyes, lips, and cheekbones.
Toni Braxton
In her 2014 released memoir, “Unbreak My Heart,” singer Toni Braxton revealed she’d undergone surgery on her nose, breast implants (which she later removed), and reconstructive surgery.
Patti LaBelle
In 2021, legendary singer Patti LaBelle admitted to getting her nose done years ago after seeing friend and fellow singer Stephanie Mills with her nose job.
“If I hadn’t seen her, I wouldn’t have done it. But seeing something in front of your face makes you say, ‘Well, I can look different also’ It’s not that she looked better with her nose done, nor that I looked better. It just made us feel better about ourselves. So that was something that happened in my younger years that I’m happy I did,” LaBelle told Oprah Daily at the time.
Sanda “Pepa” Denton
In 2007, Sandra “Pepa” Denton underwent rhinoplasty just in time for her VH1 reality seroes, ““The Salt-N-Pepa Show.” Per reports, she shaved down the tip of her nose and received more of a bridge. Years later, she’d also go on to get butt and hip implants.
