Thanks to social media and the rising trend – these are the cosmetic procedures requiring minimal or no downtime. The scenes around celebrity plastic surgery seem to be changing gears. While many compete for the don’t ask do tell rule, more and more stars have started to come out regarding the procedures undertaken by them. 

Till about recently, even a mention of having celebrity plastic surgery or even Botox, for that matter, was like crossing the line. Such was especially the case in Hollywood which has long been marred by one unnatural standard of beauty. But just like the influencers on our feeds, celebrities too have become more outspoken about their choices and are taking back the narrative. 

We at Holaquiz have made a list of 10 celebrities who secretly had plastic surgery.

1. Ariana Grande

The “Thank U, Next” singer was in Celebrity Big Brother’s house in October 2024 when she bumped into Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo who traded what she called ‘pointed questions’ for Vanity Fair’ notorious lie detector which she used as her weapon to address the plastic surgery gossips.

When doing the quizzing session, Grande was persistent that she never had a nose job, breast augmentation, a facelift, chin augmentation, or an eyelift, although she did say she’s open to a facelift when necessary. How did the polygraph examiner sum it up? One sentence, “she’s telling the truth.”

And of course, Grande was extremely happy. “This is the best day of my life! Take that, you YouTube people!” she shouted, apparently to the numerous web detectives who enjoy throwing theories about her looks.

At last, Grande let her fans in on what she has done. “I’ve had fillers in various places and Botox, but I stopped like four years ago…and that is the extent,” she admitted. “But also [I am] in full support of all people who do these things. Work! Whatever makes women, men, and non-gender-confirming people, feel beautiful should be allowed. Why do we care?”

2. Selena Gomez

A side-by-side video of Selena’s teenage and adult self has emerged. The actress did not hold back in her response and said, “What issues do you have, honestly, this doesn’t even bother me. Flare-ups always have striping. I get Botox. That’s it. No, leave me out of it.” Others consider the terminology ‘stripes’ to be a mistake and suggest the word ‘steroids,’ which indeed could be used to treat lupus.

Botox is not new to Gomez. She made fun of herself during the 2022 SAG Awards, saying she came with ‘fresh Botox,’ then in December 2023, she lashed at a follower who suggested that unsuccessfully attempted to encourage her to dissolve her ‘implants’ and she simply responded ‘Hahahaha I have Botox bb girl.’ There’s no need to figure out, we have been told by Gomez herself: She does have Botox.

3. Olivia Culpo

As she prepared for the initial Friday at Coachella on April 2024, Culpo ‘leaked the tea’ on everything aesthetic saying that she had not had surgery but had dental filler and Botox. 

“I fill my lips,” admitted Culpo. “My jaw however, I do not fill. There’s actually a period in time where I would do Botox [in my jaw] to make it smaller, but I’m just accepting the way I am right now. Culpo also mentioned that she gets Botox in the area above her chin, in the region between the bottom of her jaw and her mouth, and around her eyes. 

Currently, Culpo does not have cheek fillers, but she has had them at one point in time. “I haven’t in years. I don’t want my face to be so concave, I guess,” she elaborated. Last, according to Culpo, she has been botoxed just above the lip, often referred to as a lip flip, and has never repeated it: “It made my lips look insane.” Finally, Culpo not try doing Botox where it’s mostly expected. “I don’t do Botox in my forehead. If I get Botox, it looks like falling down,” she said.

4. Megan Fox

As has always been the case, Fox is brutally honest, and the same can be said about her queries regarding plastic surgery and cosmetical work. While participating in an episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy in March 2024, the actor specified which of the surgeries she has taken and which none at all. 

“By the way, my breasts have been nice and firm prosthetics since. . . twenty-one? Or twenty-two? I had them done somewhere in between ’Transformers’ one and two. But they were done ‘in a conservative way,’” Fox told Alex Cooper while denying the allegations claiming that she has undergone facelift, eyebrows lift, liposuction or body sculpting in any way. 

What certainly has Fox done? Fox has performed three times of breast augmentation (the third time she asked for ‘the cup size that seemed like the 1990s stripper style’, one out of the three rhinoplasty, and her cryptic language also points towards the existence of a procedure she has had which we still don’t know. “It doesn’t make any sense to me why everyone feels the need to shame someone for doing something, said Fox. “It’s like saying ‘Oh why did you dye your hair?’ or ‘Why are you wearing gel nails? When does that logic end? How natural do you have to be?”

5. Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara seems flawless but at the age of 51, she claims to have never had plastic surgery. The actress from Modern Family does however concede to having done ‘good things’ to her body elsewhere. 

What are those good things? “I perform micro-needling often, I tend to use micro laser to zap out little capillaries because I have a rosacea condition. I apply Botox on my neck and around my eyes regularly, she stated in a 2023 interview with Glamour. “Moles which do not require me to be indoors for bulking which I am afraid I can’t do.

Sofia Vergara specifically did talk about what filler means as she told Allure magazine she is ‘against it once you hit a certain age’. “Filler is very effective when a woman is young and wants to get more defined cheekbones or fuller lips. But at my age, it’s become a cosmetic that wastes time,” she argues. “It makes you look more dolled up and not younger. Its weight gives the opposite effect from what is intended.”

6. Khloé Kardashian

It is a waste of monotony to shade or body shame Kardashian about the barbed wire frames over her face – don’t. After many years of being the most bullied person regarding her face, the mother of 2 children and a reality star wouldn’t hold back from hurling back the same to you either. That’s quite what happened in May 2023 to one fortunate commenter who made such a remark after Kardashian posted a video of her morning exercise routine and later in her defence stated that. ‘Do you miss your old face?’ someone asked in the comments beneath the post, to which Kardashian responded by saying ‘No’. 

Here, Kardashian had also previously revealed that she had tried injectables and a rhinoplasty to her nose. During a family family barbeque meeting that was staged as a reunion of the Kardashians for American Television, the proficient in denim resorted to tears narrating how everyone pointing a finger to her face and body transformation affects her. “For me, everyone’s like ‘Oh my gosh, she’s on her third face transplant,’ I’ve had one nose job,” she said. “And everyone gets so mad, like why don’t you talk about it? No one’s ever asked me.”

7. Courteney Cox

Even though many people, including the celebrities on this list, enjoy plastic surgery, it is also good to learn about the failures. It was in 2017 when she familiarized herself with “Friends” that actress Courteney Cox declared that she had dissolved all fillers and injections around her face. “I’m as natural as I can be. I look like myself and I am happy about that.” 

Her age could be around 51. This is certainly a more reasonable entity. “I think that I now look more like the person that I was. Allow me to do it. Light will scatter: I will, of course, take that for granted. But things are going to change – everything is going to droop. I wanted to ensure it didn’t droop, but that made me seem artificial. It is critical to have motion in your face, especially when one has thin skin, as I do. What are these? This is not wrinkling; this is shaping the area around the mouth with a smile. And of course, learning people with my background filled with motion, visibly, are quite ignorant of injectables.”

8. Cardi B

Cardi B does not seem to have any problem discussing her plastic surgeries. It is no wonder she has had her fair share of beauty enhancements done as many women in popular culture do. In a social media interview back in 2017, she discussed her breasts in terms of fake ones and the injections she got to make her bottom look bigger. In 2019 she had liposuction which she claimed would not affect her performances only to be forced to miss gigs because of complications that arose after the procedure.

9. Kylie Jenner

Probably the most exciting of all culture-related procedures, back in 2016, Kylie Jenner was opening up to fans about face procedures when she famously said how she started using fillers in her lips. “Right now my only plastic surgery on myself is lip filler. On the other hand, I’m the type of person who says ‘never say never’. I could get to a point in my life where I would be very unhappy with how I look and be willing to change things up,” she wrote. 

10. Chrissy Teigen

What more could we expect from Teigen, she has been sharing the raw and the real parts of her glam routine with us including rashes and altitude sickness for the years. Back in 2019, she shared how she gets Botox injections in her armpits which helps with excessive sweating, she said: It’s the truly best move I have ever made, I can wear silk again without soaking woohoo! She has also disclosed that she underwent another procedure in her pits: liposuction. “It added two inches of length to my arms. That fat is coming back though, so I might need to go in and pay for it again.” 

In 2020, Teigen started the preparations to get her breast implants out. ‘They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it’ she said back in May. “I would like to be able to zip a dress that is close to my size, lie on my belly and be in absolute comfort! Nothing major! So please don’t worry about me! All good. I’ll still have boobs, they will just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat.” Most recently, she posted topless after the surgery, on August 9.
