Hollywood is obsessed with the young, so it probably comes as no surprise that more and more celebrities are opting to go under the knife for certain procedures. For some celebs, getting one strategic cosmetic improvement can open up doors and help jump start their careers – whether this is because casting agents are looking for a certain type, or because it just gives the star more confidence is another matter. Other celebs opt to get a few nips and tucks as they progress in their career. While not every celeb admits to having plastic surgery procedures done, there are countless stars who have changed just enough over the years for the public to guess that they’ve gone under the knife, and did so under the watch of a skilled, subtle plastic surgeon.

However, there are some celebs who take things too far. They decide to get one cosmetic procedure to correct an issue that has been bothering them. Then, pleased with the results, they decide to make a little alteration to something else on their face or body. Soon it becomes an obsession and they’re getting surgery after surgery, transforming themselves into someone who looks completely different – and usually not for the better. If plastic surgery will make you more confident, we’re all for it – but there are definitely some celebrities who need to pause and examine whether they should be continuing to pop into the plastic surgeon’s office year after year.

Here are 15 celebrities who just can’t seem to stop going under the knife.

15 Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham rose to fame as one of the stars of reality series Teen Mom. She attempted to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame by enhancing a few of her features, the most noticeable being her breast implants. In case a breast enhancement, rhinoplasty, and whatever else she had done wasn’t enough, she decided to get some implants to achieve that pouty lip look. However, turns out she had a pretty bad allergic reaction to the anaesthetic and her lips swelled up to frightening proportions. Abraham didn’t try to hide it – she was outspoken about the procedure, even sharing pictures and comparing herself to cartoon characters. However, we hope that this was enough to convince her to maybe slow down on the surgery.

14 Dolly Parton

There is pretty much nothing natural about Dolly Parton except for those pipes and that southern charm, but she’s completely unapologetic about that – a fact that seems to endear her to her legions of fans. In the past, she’s even referred to her plastic surgeon, Dr. John Grossman, as someone who does her “fenderwork.” Parton’s appearance has changed dramatically over the course of her life, from a natural starlet to a completely made up, voluptuous superstar. Luckily, she seems to be largely in maintenance mode nowadays, only adding a little nip and tuck here to combat the signs of ageing.

13 Mickey Rourke

You might know Mickey Rourke better as an actor, but in the 1990s, he decided to put acting on pause for awhile and embark on a career as a professional boxer. The violent nature of the sport meant that he was left a little bit banged up, so when he decided to return to the silver screen, he opted to have a few procedures done to reconstruct his good looks. Unfortunately, as he underwent surgery after surgery, he began to look less and less like himself. Recently, Rourke began stepping out looking closer to his former self – apparently thanks to a more skilled plastic surgeon. However, at the end of the day, a surgery is still a surgery, and he’s opting to get a lot of them.

12 Sharon Osbourne

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Sharon Osbourne was forthright about her plastic surgeries – when he asked what procedures she had had done, she simply stated “everything! There’s not one thing I haven’t had lifted, cut or sewn back on.” While all the professional make-up artists she has access to definitely help, there’s no questioning that she looks totally different than in her youth. Her face doesn’t look as frightening as some celebs who overdo it on the plastic surgery procedures, but she definitely doesn’t look like her former self. Her husband, heavy metal god Ozzy Osbourne, has stuck with her for decades, and will likely be there no matter what she looks like – so who is she trying to impress? Is it just the pressures of keeping up in Hollywood that has her running to her surgeon’s office so frequently?

11 LaToya Jackson

You would think that LaToya Jackson would have learned from her brother, the late Michael Jackson, but apparently she was as enthralled by the world of plastic surgery as the former King of Pop had been. She has had countless procedures including chin implants, cheek implants, and rhinoplasty work. In her youth, she was actually quite pretty, so it’s sad to see her destroying her looks with endless plastic surgery procedures. At this point, her decision to go under the knife again and again can’t be because of any positive feedback she’s getting, so we can only assume she’s doing it to make herself feel more confident.

10 Pete Burns

While he might not be a household name today, British singer-songwriter Pete Burns was once one of the most notorious names in the pop world as part of the band Dead or Alive – you might know them from their mega-hit, “You Spin Me Round.” Once the money started to roll in, he made a trip to the plastic surgeon to fix his nose, and he hasn’t been able to stop since. Burns is completely addicted to plastic surgery, and has even made a documentary about his struggle. However, recently he’s been making increasingly frequent visits to the plastic surgeon in order to fix his face… with more plastic surgery! When someone says that “changing my face is like buying a new sofa,” we have a feeling that he won’t be stopping with the surgeries anytime soon.

9 Lil Kim

In the 1990s, Lil Kim was one of the sassiest, sexiest female rappers on the scene. Over the years, she’s undergone several surgeries that have rendered her nearly unrecognizable, including breast implants, rhinoplasty, and cheek implants. While everyone seems to think that she looked far, far better before she started with the nips and tucks, Lil Kim doesn’t seem to think so, as she just keeps getting more procedures. Unlike some unapologetic plastic surgery fiends, however, this rapper doesn’t exactly like to talk about all her surgeries, and immediately clams up if asked about it in the media.

8 Katie Price

British glamour model Katie Price – formerly known as Jordan – has undergone quite the transformation over the years. The most noticeable enhancements are, of course, her larger than life breast implants, but she’s had countless other plastic surgery procedures done over the years. Recently, she spoke out about her surgeries, advising young girls considering following in her footsteps to “research properly and be careful who you put your trust in.” In other words – make sure your surgeon is the best, and will be able to do work that is subtle. However, when it comes to her own face and body, she maintains that she’s a fan of plastic surgery.

7 Caitlyn Jenner

For the first 60+ years of her life, Caitlyn Jenner was known as the athlete Bruce Jenner. She was also known for her rapidly transforming face, and she began to look more and more different from her Olympic athlete days. Recently, as anyone who pays even the slightest attention to pop culture will know, the former Bruce Jenner transitioned into her current identity, Caitlyn. She underwent countless plastic surgeries throughout her life, ostensibly to get a more feminine look that would better allow herself to express her identity. Now that she is transitioning, she has countless other surgeries in her future.

6 Cher

There’s no doubt about it – Cher is an absolute icon. The singer started making an impact on the entertainment industry alongside then husband Sonny Bono, and with hits like “I Got You Babe,” the young starlet quickly made a name for herself. Cher is known for her larger than life personality, and there’s two things she’s never been one to shy away from throughout her career – insane, over the top outfits, and plastic surgery. The star has undergone countless procedures over the years and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, now that she’s about to enter her 70s, we bet she’s going to be making increasingly frequent trips to her plastic surgeon’s office. Hey – as long as she stays fabulous!

5 Amanda Lepore

While Amanda Lepore might not be as well known a name as some on this list, there’s no question that she’s hugely influential in the entertainment industry and art world – she served as the muse of hugely artists like David LaChappelle and Terry Richardson. This transgender superstar has undergone countless surgical procedures over the years to earn her over the top femme look. While her look is far from natural, the amount of success she’s achieved probably has her thanking her plastic surgeon for all his or her help.

4 Donatella Versace

Anyone who knows anything about the fashion industry knows exactly who Donatella Versace is. In terms of her professional life, she’s an absolute rock star, managing to stay relevant and keep her family’s company afloat for decades. Versace remains a huge force in the fashion industry to this day, and a large part of that is thanks to Donatella. However, her decisions when it comes to plastic surgery have been a bit more questionable. The Italian designer always had a bit of a unique look, but her endless tweaks over the years have rendered her nearly unrecognizable. She needs to focus on designing great clothing rather than consistently altering her face and body.

3 Melanie Griffith

Melanie Griffith started appearing in commercials when she was still a baby, and officially dipped her toes into the Hollywood waters at 17 years old, playing a controversial role in the film Night Moves. She’s been in the industry ever since, and though her talent hasn’t changed over the years, her face certainly has. The former fresh-faced redhead has transformed into a taut-skinned blonde who looks far younger than her actual age, thanks to her plastic surgeon. Griffith has undergone countless cosmetic procedures over the years, but her talent has kept her employed in the industry through it all. However, her surgical pattern seems to coincide with her luck in love, so now that she’s separated from long-time partner Antonio Banderas, let’s hope she doesn’t hit the surgeon’s office too hard.

2 Heidi Montag

Reality television star Heidi Montag, most known for her time on The Hills, is one of the most notorious plastic surgery addicts in Hollywood. The petite blonde decided to upgrade her cup size, and along the way, got endless additional surgeries, including the infamous incident where she underwent 10 surgical procedures in a single day. Montag, who eventually downsized her disproportionate F cup implants to a more modest C cup, has been outspoken about regretting some of the surgeries. However, with the way that she seems to crave fame and attention, we fear it won’t be long before she decides to go on another surgery spree.

1 Janice Dickinson

Back in the day, Janice Dickinson was one of the biggest supermodels in the business, and her exotic good looks catapulted her to fame. However, as the years started to advance, the former supermodel became a bit fearful of ageing and decided to combat time’s influences with countless plastic surgery procedures, including face lifts, tummy tucks, Botox, Restylane injections and many more. She definitely owns up to it, confidently stating that she loves plastic surgery. We wonder if she’ll ever realize when enough is enough – she was so gorgeous as a young supermodel, and would probably have looked amazing if she just aged gracefully.
