Stars Who Regret Their Plastic Surgery: Jessica Simpson, Tara Reid and More

Not all plastic surgeries are alike! Tara Reid, Jessica Simpson and more celebrities have been vocal about their regrets after going under the knife. “I got my breasts done for the first time because my breasts were uneven. I was a 34-B, but the right one was always bigger than the left,” Reid exclusively told Us Weekly in 2006 of her history of plastic surgery. “I weigh 110 pounds now, but I always used to fluctuate by 10 pounds, so my skin was kind of saggy. I figured, I’m in Hollywood. I’m getting older. I’m going to fix them.” Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned for the Sharknando star. Her botched implants looked like a “very irregular, like a goose-shape egg” around the areola, which she told Us “was terrible.” The Big Lebowski actress, who also underwent a failed tummy tuck, eventually had reconstructive surgery on her breasts to remedy the situation. “I’ll never be perfect again,” she said at the time. “But I’ve got my self-confidence back.” Simpson, for her part, got lip fillers in the early 2000s. The “When You Told Me You Loved Me” singer confessed to Glamour in 2006 that the result felt “fake” looking so once the injections and swelling went down she never did the procedure again. [sendtonews type="float" key="y1tmisaBCz-3116128-14453"] Larissa Dos Santos Lima, meanwhile, kept her botched surgeries quiet for some time due to the emotional toll it took on her. "Like so many other people in this situation, I've been scared and embarrassed to speak out,” she wrote via Instagram in July 2022. “I did not want to speak of this before, but I'm tired of being silent in my sadness with nowhere to go to fix the problem.” The 90 Day Fiancé alum recalled undergoing multiple procedures to try and fix her belly button after it was removed without her “consent” during a abdominoplasty. She noted that she now has the “courage” to come forward after previously praising plastic surgery. "[This may] shock many people, [specifically as] someone that in the past supported plastic surgery,” she acknowledged via her Instagram Story.

In January 2015, the Teen Mom OG star’s botched lip injections nearly tripled her lips in size after she had an allergic reaction. “As soon as [the surgeon] touched my lip with whatever numbing product he put in there, my lip was having an allergic reaction right away,” she explained on The Doctors at the time. “I was laying down flat, but I was seeing more of my lip come up and come up. I’m just super happy that I’m alive.”

Following two breast augmentations, the Little House on the Prairie alum wrote in a December 2014 blog post that she was getting her implants removed. “I am concerned for my health,” she wrote. “I don’t like the way they look or feel.

Lisa Rinna

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has admitted to getting Juvéderm injections in her lips early on in her career, but she later decided to have them removed. “Here’s the story: 25 years ago, I had my lips injected with silicone,” she explained during a March 2013 interview on the Today show. “Stupid thing to do at 24. … So then cut to a couple of years ago, I have a doctor remove as much as they possibly can because it got to the point where they were yucky.”

Tori Spelling

The mom-of-four told Good Morning America in July 2011 that her biggest regret was getting breast implants when she was younger. “I got my boobs done in my early 20s, and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of [breast] milk, I would never have had them done,” she explained while pregnant with her third child with husband Dean McDermott, daughter Hattie.

Denise Richards

When the Wild Things actress was 19, she “was in such a hurry” to get implants that she didn’t research her doctor and ended up with “bigger implants than what I asked for,” she told Us Weekly in July 2011. She later met with another surgeon to get the implants corrected, but that doctor gave her even larger implants.

Kim Kardashian

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star got Botox during a September 2010 episode of her family’s hit E! reality series. Days after the clip aired, she opened up about the painful procedure in a blog post. “On the show you saw I had some bruising around my eyes after the procedure, which is totally natural, but because I hadn’t looked into the side effects, I freaked out,” she wrote. “Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age.”

Dana Delany

The Desperate Housewives actress wishes she could undo one Botox job in particular. “[My dermatologist] injected my forehead, hit a nerve and created a huge hematoma,” she told Prevention magazine in 2010. “The nerve has been dead ever since. It affected the muscle in my right eye, so my eye has started to droop a little bit. I notice it more than anybody else, but I was symmetrical before and now I am not.”

Jessica Simpson

The “With You” singer has admitted to plumping up her lips with Restylane. “[The injections] went away in, like, four months,” she told Glamour magazine in 2006. “My lips are back to what they were. Thank God! It looked fake to me. I didn’t like that.”

Tara Reid

In 2004, the American Pie actress got breast implants, but was left with a rippled belly. “My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing,” she told Us Weekly in October 2006. “I had a hernia, this huge bump next to my belly button. As a result, I couldn’t wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work. Reid, who also told Us that her surgical snafu was “probably the stupidest thing I ever did.” She later had the procedure reversed in 2006.
