If the kingdom of heaven belongs to the repentant, a good part of the aforementioned will arrive there poorly. There are quite a few celebrities who, after having cosmetic touch-ups, confess that they have made a mistake.
The latest to deny her surgeries has been rapper Nicki Minaj. The composer has opened up on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast: “I guarantee that if you change something about your body, have surgery and all that, chances are that one day you will look back and say: 'I was fine just the way I was. was,'” he said. “That's what happened to me. “I couldn't even believe some of the photos I didn't like.” Nicky, among other surgeries, lifted her buttocks to have “a very sexy body and a great butt.”
Regarding the reasons that led her to undergo surgery, she says that she did not like being thin and “having a flat butt, and having tits that were not high enough for me. “There were many things.”
In her opinion, becoming a mother – she has a three-year-old child – and turning 40 have given her perspective about her body. “Seeing my son reminded me a lot of myself. My true self,” she states. And she remembers that she used to avoid looking at old photos of herself, since she was never satisfied with the way she looked. But now, she rectifies: “I love how he was physically.”
In order to look better, many stars have undergone treatments that over time have not given the results they expected. Among the celebrities who have regretted having undergone surgery and have publicly expressed their desire to look more natural are veterans like Jane Fonda (85) and Jamie Lee Curtis (65). The first one had facelifts years ago and stopped because she didn't want to look different.
The second underwent surgery to remove bags under her eyes when she was 20 years old. During her recovery, she became addicted to opiates. Now Lee Curtis is especially critical of plastic surgery and the excessive pressure placed on women: “This current trend of fillers and simple procedures, this obsession with filters... all of this is destroying generations of beauty.”
The most horrifying case is that of Linda Evangelista, one of the most relevant top models of the nineties. She underwent liposculpture that left her “brutally disfigured and did the opposite of what was promised.” Victoria Beckham recognized that it was a mistake for her to have surgery on her breasts and she removed the implants; Mickey Rourke admitted that he chose the wrong surgeon when he had to undergo multiple surgeries to try to repair damage to her face from boxing; and Jennifer Grey, the protagonist of Dirty Dancing, is a clear example of how an operation can change your life: “It was the surgery from hell. I will always be that actress who was famous one day and whom no one recognizes anymore because she had a nose job.”
Melanie Griffith confessed that all the surgeries she had undergone “for more than two decades” had completely changed her face: “I didn't realize until people started commenting on it. 'My God, what has been done?' That hurt me a lot,” she said.
Another striking case is that of actress Courteney Cox, from the series Friends. In her quest to achieve eternal youth, she launched herself into aesthetic treatments. “I didn't realize that she looked really weird to me with the pokes and doing all those things to my face that I should never have done.”
Nicole Kidman must have thought the same thing, when a few years ago she confessed that after abusing Botox she had stopped it and that she could finally move her face again. But judging by her last on-screen appearance, in the series Lioness, in which she is unrecognizable, the actress is back to her old ways.
Retired from the spotlight, Cameron Diaz confessed in 2014 to having tried Botox on one occasion. “She changed my face in such a strange way that I thought, 'No, I don't want this.' “I’d rather see my aged face than one that doesn’t belong to me at all.” Subsequently, the actress has become a champion of the importance of accepting her age and she assures that she is delighted with her expression lines, since they are a sign of how much she has laughed and continues laughing in life.
