25 Celebrities Say How They Really Feel About Plastic Surgery
1. "I think plastic surgery should be viewed almost like makeup, because we're all putting on a fucking mask basically every day anyway, when you dye your hair, you're changing who you are, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think people should get plastic surgery or fillers or lasers or whatever if they want it — that should be your own personal decision." —Khloé Kardashian toCosmopolitan.com in 2016
2. "I'm not against plastic surgery … as of now, I only have lip fillers … But I'm also someone who says 'never say never.' If, down the line, I get to a point where I'm really uncomfortable with something on my body, I'm not against changing it." —Kylie Jenner, in a post published on her app called "My Feelings On Plastic Surgery: The Whole Truth"
3. "I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification." —Lady Gaga, in the May 2011 issue of Harper's BAZAAR
4. "I'd like to think that I can age as naturally as possible. I don't want to come out condemning anything anybody does, because I think that all of these things can contribute to making people feel better about themselves, and that's great. But I also want to look like myself. I mean, we're not going to live forever. You could be dead at 45, and guess what? Then you don't have to worry about aging." —Julianne Moore, to The Edit in 2013
5. "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story ... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office." —Julia Roberts,in the September 2010 issue of Elle
6. "I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything. It's ridiculous that [loving the way you look] seems such an unrealistic goal. I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skin and still look human." —Emma Watson, in the November 2011 issue of Elle UK
7. "It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty. I will never give in." —Kate Winslet, to The Telegraph in 2011

8. "It is pressure. When you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think, 'To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?' I won't lie and tell you that those things don't cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me. 'You know, if you just did a little bit of this and that, lift this up, then this would be a little bit better.' It's almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That's what I feel like." —Halle Berry,to Yahoo Beauty in 2015
9. "Nah. It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, 'Wow, that girl has a big nose' than 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.' I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am." —Jodie Foster, in the September 2007 issue of MORE
10. "Not a nose, not a chin, not a cheek, not a tit. So my messages of self-empowerment are truly coming from an au naturel product." —Katy Perry, in the February 2014 issue of GQ
11. "I am so freaked out by the idea of doing anything. And maybe that's completely arrogant but I don't want to change anything about myself. I think the women who do are losing their minds. It's vandalism." —Kristen Stewart,in the June 2015 issue of Harper's Bazaar
12. "No surgical tweaks. No Botox either. Look. [She raises her eyebrows.] I think it is terrible, these girls in their late 20s injecting their faces and lips. One told me, 'If I kill my muscles now, I'll never get wrinkles.' Can you imagine?" —Salma Hayek, in the June 2010 issue of InStyle

18. "Why not? I mean, not yet, but maybe [I'll do] my under-eye bags in my 50s. We'll see what I need, but I'm not saying no!" —Sofia Vergara, in the August 2014 issue of Redbook
19. "[It's fine] for those who do it for themselves and not to please someone else." —Naomi Campbell, in the March 2012 issue of Harper's BAZAAR
20. "I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose. I want my fans to know the truth. I'm not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me." —Ashley Tisdale, to People in December 2007
21. "I say, don't fight the rings on the trunk of a tree. Just keep counting 'em. The idea of not looking like myself scares me. I just think a person's character is what's interesting." —Drew Barrymore, in the January 2012 issue of InStyle

And wherever she is, I mean, she can go fuck herself." —Lea Michele,on Chelsea Lately, discussing a manager who told her to get a nose job
