10 Celebrities That Underwent a Plastic Surgery
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.

This week’s top new streaming movies include some of the most popular films today, the newest originals from leading streaming networks, as well as other less hyped-up films that many noticed came out in cinemas. There’s a variety of films spanning many genres up in Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Peacock, and Paramount+, many of which are just off their cinematic run. Some recently featured titles are also getting some recognition in the award season buzz.
This week still showcases some Christmas cheer to those impatient viewers who just cannot wait for the festive season. There are several Netflix productions such as Emilia Pérez that are starting to generate some anticipation due to the awards season. This is however the best week of the year for several people as it’s the release week for some of the most smashing blockbusters of the year: Transformers One, Twisters, and Deadpool & Wolverine.
#10 The Last Breath (2024)
Ever since Jaws showed us how interesting a shark movie can be, there has not really been a ‘good’ shark-related film after it which is universally appreciated and leaves a gap or potential like we saw in Under Paris’s recent effort. The Last Breath is an entertaining movie that makes viewers think thrice before entering the water but includes an interesting twist in how it tells its shark attack story. The Last Breath follows a group of college friends on a scuba diving trip in the Caribbean. All goes well until the group decides to investigate a WWII wrecked ship and unbeknownst to them, they are trapped and being stalked by sharks.
It is interesting to note that in The Last Breath, the ocean becomes as much a villain as the sharks in this narrative. The main characters have to make the horrible decision of either drowning in the sunken maze of the ship or getting eaten by the sharks in the confrontation. However, it does make for a suspenseful underwater thriller though still not able to match the Jaws.
#9 Hot Frosty (2024)
When it comes to the Christmas period, Netflix’s catalogue has several good and cozy options that I feel will find their way to people as the familiar annual collection of Christmas rom-coms has already begun in the year 2024. But no other film will probably ever beating the outrageous concept of Hot Frosty. One of the stars Lacey Chabert portrays a widow called Cathy who is not so much of a fan of Christmas and her problems are consistently solved by turning a magic snowman into a hot nice guy.
The movie goes headfirst in this merry premise with Dustin Milligan portraying Jack Snowman providing both humor and charm in the role. Some other comedic actors who feature in the film are also very notable; for example, Craig Robinson plays the sheriff who is trying to get to the root of Jack’s mysterious activities. This creates a wonderful and amusing approach to the festivities.
#8 Return Of The King: The Fall And Rise Of Elvis Presley (2024)
There are many amazing music documentaries in the world today, but there is something special about Elvis Presley that has lasted for several decades and therefore any film of him is worth watching. Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley is an account of an interesting and unique phase in Elvis’ career which transformed him into one of the biggest icons of world music.
The music-focused documentary looks at the era when Elvis’ music stopped resonating with the masses and he was slowly becoming well known as a family entertainer. But Elvis made an unforgettable comeback with an equally memorable television show which earned him the title ‘The King’. The interviews are interspersed with great footage of other legendary artists speaking about their love for Elvis, including Bruce Springsteen, and fans like Conan O’Brien.
#7 Close To You (2024)
After six years of absence from the big screen, Elliott Page comes back with a film called Close to You. Additionally, he made this film after transitioning into the character that he is today. Page returns home to celebrate his father’s birthday in Close to You. During the celebration, he encounters both his relatives and friends and learns how they feel about his decision to become a trans person.
The style of the film is intimate and very loose as if the viewer simply happens to be around the characters as they engage in highly spontaneous and unscripted chats. The page clearly portrays the private side of the ordeal in the film, answering many questions, criticisms or supportive comments which inevitably come in circumstances such as these.
#6 An Almost Christmas Story (2024)
For those still not prepared to settle down with the hour-and-a-half-long Christmas special can check out the shorter festive Christmas film which comes in the shape of An Almost Christmas Story. The animated movie depicts a young owl called Moon who is accidentally caught up in a tree chosen as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree for the year. While finding his way around the big city, Moon meets and starts talking to a girl named Luna.
Although it is only a short film available on Disney+, there are some big names in the cast of An Almost Christmas Story. An and Two have co-written and directed the short film, David Lowery (The Green Knight) directed the film which was written in part by Alfonso Cuarón. It also features an incredible voice cast that includes Natasha Lyonne, John C. Reilly and Jim Gaffigan. It serves as a nice warm family Christmas collectible for viewers of all ages.
#5 Thelma (2024)
Thelma might be the most underappreciated film of the year; however, with it now streaming at home, new audiences should enjoy this delightful surprise. Oscar nominee June Squibb portrays Thelma, a widow who is swindled out of some money because of her goodness. Determined to show that she can function independently, she sets out to reclaim what was lost.
Although the movie may precisely be described as a revenge flick, it’s really about a woman who cherishes her life and aims to do all it takes to prove that she is not a liability. Squibb is wonderful in the lead role, and she manages to be funny, charming, and sweet all at the same time. Another great performance is given by the late Richard Roundtree as Thelma’s friend who is coerced into participating in the mission.
#4 Emilia Pérez (2024)
Every year, Netflix tries its level best to market one of its original films as an award-winning film during the award season. The film which seems to catch attention this time, and chances to sweep many nominations with it is the hyped musical titled Emilia Pérez. The main cast of the film Zoe Saldaña plays an unappreciated attorney bored of being at a dead-end and is approached by a powerful and dangerous drug kingpin named Emilia. The drug lord wants assistance in staging her death so that she can escape and fulfil her dreams.
The Emilia Pérez movie received a lot of positive reactions after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it also took home the Jury Prize award and Best Actress award which was awarded to the four main actors of the film; Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz. Mixing music with crimes has never been done before and Emilia Pérez will undoubtedly not only be one of the most talked-about films of the Fall season but will also grab a lot of attention.
#3 Transformers One (2024)
Transformers has had its fair share of highs and lows over the decades as a franchise, but one thing that stood out about Transformers One was the fact that it catered to older fans and was animated. It is a prequel depicting the events behind Optimus Prime and Megatron in their prime friendship, on a planet named Cybertron, yet again, something goes haywire and the friends get all angry at each other and split up because they have got a ‘calling’.
Transformers movie fans have waited a long time for the action to be set in Cybertron and for the Transformers characters rather than the humans taking centre stage. Transformers One feels like accomplishing both and, oddly enough, seems like a good tale about two close friends growing apart. The voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson.
#2 Twisters (2024)
Fresh in the theatres across America, once a blockbuster this summer season is ‘Twisters.’ This movie comes after a long gap of 1996 and this movie was stuck because of the constant change of directors. This movie has a new generation of cast which features Daisy Edgar Jones, and Glen Powell amongst others which definitely excites the audience.
The film is interesting as it nicely ties in with the previous one but brings new levels of destruction as well. Nevertheless, the cast earns the highest praise – actors Edgar-Jones and Powell are among the brightest rising stars of Hollywood including Meryl Streep. They easily make Twisters exceed the expectations of the audience when it comes to storm disasters, which is the whole point of the franchise.
#1 Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
After an explosive performance at the box office which followed up with great audience reception, Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the most desirable streaming releases this year. This is the third movie in the Deadpool trilogy, but the first that puts the Merc with the Mouth voiced by Ryan Reynolds in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As expected, Deadpool did not come to Disney of his own accord, as the film is a multiverse tale with the perfect narrator, Deadpool, and his co-star Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine pursuing their dual motivations to not get wiped out.
It is amazing to watch Reynolds and Jackman bring their characters to life in such blood-filled and laughter-packed light. There are a lot of great action sequences where Deadpool and Wolverine exchange some truly funny lines. Along with Reynolds and Jackman, the movie features plenty of Wolverine and Deadpool & Wolverine cameos which are always guaranteed to be the best moments in the MCU.
