23 Celebrities Who Openly Admitted To Have Gone Under The Knife



For several years the discussion centered on plastic surgery or Botox had been considered taboo. But thanks in part to social media, influencers on our feeds, including celebrities, are getting candid about their decisions and reclaim the conversation. In Hollywood, celebs are having surgery for reasons that have nothing to do with health. Some went under the knife to fix something they’ve always hated, igniting their self-esteem to a new next level. 

Many still prefer not to disclose the procedure they had done as they are pretty skeptical of being slammed but regardless, many are opening up about the changes they’ve made to their appearance. Ariel Winter, Courteney Cox, to even Kelly Rowland, among others, have proved that assumption isn’t always best. Here we’ve collated a few celebs whose before vs. after pics have made denial impossible. Scroll on and enjoy!
