Celebrities Reveal Wide Cosmetic Procedure Use, Surgeons Warn Risks

Cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries have become increasingly prevalent among celebrities and the general public, with many openly sharing their experiences, including both successes and regrets. Several celebrities, such as Eliezer, Manu Gavassi, and Gkay, have undergone multiple aesthetic treatments, some later reversing them due to dissatisfaction or changing personal values. Medical professionals and board-certified plastic surgeons have raised concerns about certain popular procedures like Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs) due to high complication rates, warning against some trends despite their popularity. Experts also emphasize the importance of thorough patient education and realistic expectations to avoid regret, noting that many patients focus on immediate results without considering long-term outcomes. The rise of social media and platforms like TikTok has intensified self-scrutiny, sometimes causing individuals to perceive flaws that do not exist, which complicates ethical considerations for cosmetic providers incentivized to perform more procedures. Overall, there is a growing movement toward transparency and self-acceptance, as well as a critical examination of the psychological and medical impacts of cosmetic enhancements.
