Celebrities and their Botox blunders: Stars whose facial fillers gone terribly wrong

Celebrities often turn to Botox and facial fillers to maintain their youthful appearance, however, such cosmetic surgeries don't always turn out the way people want it to.

While mostly such expensive beauty treatments can produce remarkable results, they can also go terribly wrong, leaving stars looking unnatural, and even unrecognisable.

Many celebrities such as Courteney Cox, and Simon Cowell, even regret their facial fillers. 

In this article, we will explore famous Hollywood faces who have experienced terrifying aftermath of Botox and filler blunders:

Gwyneth Paltrow

The Iron Man actor openly shared her Botox regret in a 2013 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

After trying Botox, Paltrow that she was "embarrassed" by the results, which made her look abnormal.

The actress later switched to Xeomin and a new doctor, reportedly achieving better results.

Her experience highlights that even wellness advocates like Paltrow can misjudge the impact of Botox.

Courteney Cox

The Scream actress tried Botox and fillers as according to her she felt pressured to stay young-looking.

Cox, however, admitted that regretted the outcome, stating they were "a total waste of time" and made her look unnatural.

The Friends star prefers a more natural look after dissolving all her fillers.

Nicole Kidman

The Aquaman actress is another Hollywood celebrity who had an unfortunate experience with Botox.

In 2011, she admitted that she tried Botox but soon regretted it as her forehead became so smooth that it left her unable to move her face naturally.

Now, the Australian actress has sworn off Botox, preferring a more natural aging process, making her one of the few celebrities against the expensive beauty procedure.

Cameron Diaz

The Back in Action actress has also experimented with Botox, however, after one session, she realised it wasn’t for her.

“It changed my face in such a weird way,” Diaz explained in an interview, noting that she would rather see herself age naturally than have a face she didn’t recognise.

Jamie Lee Curtis

The Freakier Friday actress has always been open about her cosmetic experiences.

In an interview, Curtis admitted to trying Botox but said it didn’t work for her and criticised both Botox and plastic surgery, claiming that none of it delivered the desired results.

Curtis’s stance aligns her with celebrities against Botox who prefer a more natural aging process.

Priscilla Presley

Priscilla Presley’s Botox experience turned into a disaster when she unknowingly received injections from a fraudulent doctor, who used silicone instead of Botox, leading to severe cosmetic damage.

The ex-wife of Elvis Presley’s experience stands as one of the most extreme examples of celebrity plastic surgery disasters, showing the dangers of not properly vetting your cosmetic surgeon.

Katie Price

The former model, who is already known for her extensive cosmetic procedures including years of Botox, has been open about her struggles with cosmetic surgery, particularly with botched procedures.

It’s worth mentioning here that Price has undergone numerous cosmetic procedures, including 17 boob jobs, multiple facelifts, fillers, Botox, and a rhinoplasty.

Michael Jackson

The late legendary musician was a classic case of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), according to his doctor Dr. Youn.

From whittled-down nose, lightened skin, an unnatural cleft in the chin, a chin implant, to lip augmentation, Jackson had done it all.

BDD is a psychiatric condition that makes it impossible to see oneself as others.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

Wildenstein aimed for a youthful appearance, and for that, she opted for methods like facelifts and eye lifts.

These changes gradually altered her face, giving it a more sculpted look with high cheekbones and cat eyes.

The "Lion Woman of New York" reportedly underwent dozens of plastic surgeries all in a misguided attempt to win back her husband.

She has gone for Botox, laser treatments, numerous face-lifts, lip injection, rhinoplasty.

Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace, a luxury fashion designer, is well known for her extreme overuse of plastic surgery. The 65-year-old Italian businesswoman has had several botched aesthetic surgeries and enhancement, and it is very obvious that her face has undergone many changes over the years.

Versace has had everything from Botox to laser treatments, fillers, and lifts of her face, eye, and brow lift. The once beautiful Donatella had over-performed plastic surgery that is too far gone for any surgeon to fix.

Rodrigo Alves

Alves is well-known around the globe for his extensive surgeries.

Formerly known as Rodrigo Alves, she has had her share of complications from cosmetic procedures, including Botox.

One notable instance was when she underwent an eleventh rhinoplasty in 2019 to correct a previous Botox procedure that hadn't gone as planned.

The surgery aimed to fix issues with her nose, but it didn't entirely resolve the problem.
