Celebrity Botox Confessions: 10 Famous Frozen Faces

April 15th, 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the FDA's approval of Botulinum toxin, AKA Botox for cosmetic purposes. As a result, the administration of this face freezing formula has found its way into just about every Beauty Parlor, Day Spa, and Plastic Surgeons office in a city near you.

Millions of men and women of all ages and ethnicities have adopted botox injections as their own personal method for fighting the onset of wrinkles. However, this controversial anti-aging treatment is far from a miracle solution. The limitation of facial expression after administration has caused many patients to swear off of the treatments. Not to mention there is a wide range of possible side effects associated with the injections.

While mulling over the idea of somebody intentionally paralyzing their facial expressions, have a look at these ten famous celebrities who have confessed to getting botox injections. Accompanied by a few words from each famous face.

I use it very sparingly. I want to look natural - Vanessa Williams

In the slightest amount, I don't want my face to change. - Jennie Garth

It's not that I haven't tried Botox, but I hated it. I went to this doctor once, and he was like, 'Oh, let me do it just here and here and here.' And I was miserable. I mean, I'm an actor, I've got to be able to move my face. - Courteney Cox

I get Botox injections for frown lines on my forehead. I've been having it for a couple of years. My kids wouldn't let me have it when I was going through chemo. - Sharon Osbourne

Sofia Vergara

Cosmetic surgery is terrifying. It never looks good. Those women look weird. They look in the mirror and think they look great, but they don't see what we see. I think it's hideous. They scare small children.
Jerry Hall

Your face tells a story and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office. 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.

But I was a 34C when I was 17...They stay up when I wear a push-up bra. But if people could see me when I come home and take off my bra, how could they think these are fake?
Tyra Banks

God gave us intestines for a reason. I'm not keen on surgery. It's too extreme. All it took was one of those plastic surgery shows to see how violent it is.

Reasons Not To Get Plastic Surgery: Top 5 Things To Consider

When people consider getting plastic surgery, they can often think of a number of reasons to proceed with the operation, particularly if they really want to do it. It's like asking a teenager for reasons you should extend they're curfew. However, there are a number of reasons to avoid getting plastic surgery. Before you opt for any procedures, you should read the top 5 reasons to avoid plastic surgery.

1. Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Is Expensive And Unnecessary: That tummy tuck you thought might be the answer, may not be necessary if you participate in an active exercise program. Dancercise, yoga, ballroom dancing, or any legitimate exercise routine can tighten the skin while making your body healthier. The good news is that you don't have to pay for surgery and you also receive other health benefits too! Checkout our articles on surgery alternatives:

• Natural Facelift Alternatives

• Nonsurgical Breast Enhancement

2. Plastic Surgery Can Be Dangerous: The key word is surgery. No matter how simple or mundane the surgery is, you're still assaulting your body. Surgery requires anesthetic, cutting and healing. Your body is delicate and any of the three can go awry. Sometimes there's nerve damage from the surgery that causes pain or loss of muscle use. Sometimes your body doesn't react well to the anesthetic. Sometimes the wounds don't heal properly and you end up with an infection. See our breakdown of the risks and dangers associated with cosmetic surgery:

• Nose Job Risks
  
• Lip Injection Dangers
  
• Facelift Complications
  
• Breast Augmentation
  
• Botox Side Effects
  

3. You Lose Your Individuality And Expression: Looking at some people after plastic surgery reminds me of visiting a wax museum. No, they don't look like themselves. These wax figures have no familiar facial expressions that set them apart from one another. Botox and facial surgeries can result in a similar appearance.

4. You Want Your Spouse To Love You Again: Hold the phones! If you're married to a creep that only loves you if you look good, jump ship immediately. Chances are there are deeper problems within your relationship than your appearance. Instead of getting plastic surgery, get marriage counseling.

5. You Want A New Look: If this is your mindset for getting plastic surgery, you're never going to be satisfied with your looks because the problem starts in your brain, not your physical appearance. The late great Michael Jackson and the woman so addicted to surgery, she now has her 10 minutes of fame as the "cat woman", also known as the Bride of Wildenstein, Jocelyn Wildenstein, are perfect examples of people addicted to plastic surgery and still dissatisfied after each procedure.

While your face and your body introduces you, your personality is what causes people to bond with you while forming friendships, and relationships. Work on your personal character and feeling good about yourself. And focus less on attaining artificial beauty.

Story Of A True Hero And Role Model
U.S. Army soldier, J. R. Martinez, who many know from the television soap opera "All My Children" or "Dancing with the Stars" lay trapped under a burning vehicle in Iraq after his convoy hit a roadside bomb.

He suffered disfiguring burns over 40 percent of his body. He had 30 surgeries. In this case, plastic surgery was necessary but due to the nature and extent of his burns, he still bears the scars of disfigurement.

Rather than hide, he faces life with exuberance. If you watch him for a short time, you forget the scars and focus on the vitality of the man. When you look at him, your slightly baggy eyelids become insignificant. Instead of seeking out plastic surgery as a solution, you should start examining why you want it in the first place.

Worst Celebrity Plastic Surgery: Before And After Botched

It may seem like bad things rarely happen to the rich and famous. And when things do go wrong, they just buy their way out of it, right? This may be true in many aspects of their life including the court of law, but it is far from true in the court of plastic surgery.

Forget about your own problems for awhile and checkout our list of the very worst celebrity plastic surgery blunders of all time, influenced by vanity laced aspirations.

10: Janice Dickinson
Janice may have been in complete control when she rocketed down the runway and became the first modern-day supermodel, but she was clearly not in control when it came to keeping her face youthful. If you aren't old enough to remember her super fresh, young face smiling into the cameras before she went under the knife, take a good look at her before and after picture. First we see a budding young supermodel. Then we see a post-surgery plastic creation that is borderline supernatural. She has admitted to a lengthy list of surgeries including: breast implants, facelift, tummy tuck, neck lift, liposuction, and botox as well as lip injections. She has candidly admitted to spending well-over $100,000 on cosmetic procedures.

9: Latoya Jackson
Plastic surgeons around the globe often claim that cosmetic surgery makes you the best possible you. However, botched surgery can make you look like anything but yourself. That seems to be the case for former singer, Latoya Jackson. Her most dramatic surgery was her disastrous nose job, which definitely lands her on the list of the worst celebrity plastic surgery.

8: Barry Manilow
Barry has never publicly admitted to these alleged surgeries, but it is blatantly obvious that something has been altered on the face of Mr. Manilow, as the singing icon is looking awfully stretched and puffy in his recent photos. He is rumored to have had at least one facelift, and is believed to have received cheek implants or injectable facial fillers.

7: Burt Reynolds
Burt lands on our list of the worst celebrity plastic surgery blunders due to his unfortunate facelift. An operation that pulled the actors face exceedingly tight, and virtually halted his film career. It's truly a shame, because he once had such a manly, rugged face. Women wanted him, and men wanted to be him. But, not so much anymore...

6: Lil Kim
If you ever wondered what botched surgery could do to a beautiful woman, take a look at this before and after picture of female rapper Lil Kim. She is believed to have been the victim of numerous bad plastic surgery procedures, including a notoriously bad nose job, breast implants, cheek implants, and additional nips and tucks. Current-day Lil Kim is a mere image of her former self, making her plastic surgery tale one of the worst of all time.

5: Kenny Rogers
With a wife almost thirty years his junior, Kenny Rogers had to do something to keep his youthful charm, right? Unfortunately, growing up is all about learning lessons and Kenny learned a big one with his botched surgery: stretched skin can highlight your desire to be young, but it cannot actually make you appear young. It was his ill-advised decision to undergo an eye lift that made his transformation so dramatic. His post-surgery result rendered him almost unrecognizable.

4: Mickey Rourke
Mickey has been labeled by many critics as having the "worst plastic surgery" in show business, however, Mr. Rourke lands just shy of the top spot on our list, placing fourth. The actor claims that his surgery choices were a corrective measure to repair his face after years of professional boxing. He was famously quoted as saying "Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together".

3: Pete Burns
Take someone that is a little bizarre and add a few botched plastic surgery procedures. What do you get? The ghost of Pete Burns! A rundown of his procedures includes a facelift (with eye slanting), nose job, cheek implants, and a massive pair of lip implants. Mr. Burns was quoted as saying: "People redecorate their homes every few years and I see this as no different. Changing my face is like buying a new sofa". Sounds logical enough...

2: Joan Rivers
You cannot have a list of the worst celebrity plastic surgery without mentioning Joan. This is what it means to embrace plastic surgery as a way of life. No, she doesn't look old, but she doesn't exactly look human either. Forget the list of what Joan has had done. You could probably compile a shorter list of what she hasn't had done...yet. With that being said, we'll go ahead and list some of her plastic endeavors. Multiple facelifts, eye lift, nose job, cheek implants, breast implants, jaw implant, plus botox and injectable fillers.

1: Jocelyn Wildenstein
If you're budget amounts to four million dollars, you should be able to hire the best plastic surgeon in the world, right? But that's not how cosmetic surgery works. "Cat woman" Jocelyn Wildenstein has spent millions on her face, but apparently the best surgeon in the world wasn't able to successfully "beautify" Ms. Wildenstein. Her post-plastic surgery result is widely regarded as the worst plastic surgery in show business history. Ms. Wildenstein's list of procedures is rumored to contain: Multiple facelifts, eye lift, brow lift, cheek implants, chin implant, lip implants, botox and facial fillers.

Word To The Wise
Jocelyn Wildenstein concludes our countdown of the worst celebrity plastic surgery. We only hope this 'list of terror' will discourage others from considering this very dangerous modern-day method of "self improvement". Instead, try seeking safe natural alternatives to surgery, which have proven to be highly effective.

Worst Celebrity Breast Implants: 10 Notoriously Bad Boob Jobs

You don't necessarily have to be a man to notice the ever increasing breast size of modern-day women. Even other women get caught up in the 'real or fake' game from time to time. Take a moment to look at some of the most attention-grabbing boob jobs in Hollywood, as part of our top ten worst/most notorious celebrity breast implants. Would you guess they were fake?

10: Shauna Sand
Former playmate turned "celebrity of sorts" Shauna Sand reportedly weighs less than 100 pounds, yet has 34D sized breast. She hasn't admitted that her chest is plastic, but most women with her frame are not falling over from chest weight. There is a point where breasts start to look more like balloons.

9: Janice Dickinson
Place saline implants under super thin skin on a skinny supermodel and you get implants that can be seen with every lift of the arm. Janice isn't denying that she has had some work done, but we would all know anyway since they appear to be pushing out of her skin. It doesn't help that the former supermodel doesn't believe in covering her shoulders or chest.

8: Tara Reid
This must be one of the best breast augmentations in Hollywood, or so we thought, since Tara left everyone wondering over her mysteriously larger breasts for years. The only speculation concerning this augmentation was that her chest suddenly appeared larger. At the time it was regarded as a job beautifully done, and one that may have never been verified had her top not fallen down in front of the cameras during a red carpet event, revealing significant scar tissue around her nipple. Consequently, this major blemish has landed her on the most notorious celebrity boob job list.

7: Victoria Beckham
Victoria once had a pair of the most unnatural looking breast implants in show business. This augmentation landed the former Spice Girl with exceedingly tight and often bulging implants that appeared to be one too many CC's of saline or silicone. Ms. Beckham has since had the implants removed...as the world applauds her decision.

6: Katie Price
You could consider Katie addicted to her boobs. Or perhaps she is in the middle of a lifelong search for the perfect boob job. She has had multiple breast augmentations and the results seem to get progressively worse, rather than better. In this picture, you can actually see a long indentation or groove around the edges of the implant. Looking natural is clearly not a goal for Katie.

5: Jodie Marsh
This is where breast implants turn into emergency flotation devices. Jodie openly admitted to getting her implants after going through a heartbreaking divorce. She is now an astounding 32GG. Apparently, she wanted to make sure all single men saw her and wanted her. You could consider her breast implants an insurance policy against loneliness.

4: Coco Austin
Austin's DD augmented breasts along with her rumored buttock implants have literally sculpted her into a media driven celebrity. The attention garnered from her presumed procedures and the ultimate result of cartoonish curves has set the stage for a "promising" career which has landed her in numerous magazines, and on her own reality television show alongside her rapper husband, Ice T.

3: Tori Spelling
Tori just can't get it right when it comes to the implants. There are some pictures of her looking scary thin, with barely any fat under the skin to conceal and contain the implanted material. Then there are pictures of a more filled-out Tori smiling into the camera with oddly shaped breasts. She has probably undergone at least one corrective surgery and will hopefully keep some fat under the skin so she looks fresh and round, rather than sunken and dried out.

2: Heidi Montag
Heidi has been very honest about the woes of having size G implants. She can't even hug her dogs! The enormous implants were a part of a massive cosmetic splurge that turned heads around the world. Regret is the word of the century for Heidi, as she has repeatedly expressed tremendous regret concerning her plastic surgery choices.

1: Pamela Anderson
And the number one spot on our list is reserved for none other than blonde bombshell, Pam Anderson. A woman who has received enough breast implants to have single-handedly kept the Titanic afloat long enough to save all 2228 passengers.

Pamela Anderson has reportedly undergone at least six separate breast augmentation surgeries over the course of her career. All the increasing, decreasing, and the actual surgery involved has really taken its toll on Ms. Anderson. Some have suggested that she is now suffering from a complication known as capsular contraction.

10 Worst Celebrity Lip Injections: Before And After Botched

Pucker up for the camera! There seems to be a trend for overly-plumped lips and it doesn't stop with celebrities. You can walk through your local mall and see an array of badly blotched injections...or do they supposed to look like that? The unfortunate news is that some celebrities fall victim even with high dollar surgeons on the payroll. Luckily for them, these injections are only temporary and wear off after a few months (2-6). Take a peek at some of the worst Hollywood lips ever captured by the camera.

10: Cheryl Cole
The unnatural pucker is definitely too much when it draws attention away from your natural beauty. Cheryl is adored in the UK for her natural good looks, but when she stepped out with overly extended lips she appeared extremely artificial and considerably less attractive. This is the definition of botched injections, as it appears the songstress had some sort of adverse reaction to the material.

9: Courtney Love
Love makes the list for the worst lips in Hollywood, but at least she came clean and openly admitted that the strange appearance of her lips was the result of bad plastic surgery in her younger years. She had what looked like sores or scabs on and around her lips and many suspected a skin disease. Fortunately for her, and i use the term lightly, it was only a temporary result of plastic surgery gone wrong. With corrective surgery, Love was able to return her mouth to something more natural looking. Unfortunately, she will never be restored fully to her former beauty, no matter how many more cosmetic procedures she endures.

8: Vanessa Ferlito
It's always a shame when women with naturally plump lips decide to enhance them far too much. The botched injections on Vanessa Ferlito are the perfect example of unnecessary plumping. She is also rumored to have undergone plastic surgery for a nose job, which is quite evident from the before and after picture.

7: Melanie Griffith
Melanie is the perfect example of how too much work on the lips leads to even more work to fix the lips. Her botched injections and surgeries led to massive lips that looked more like an allergic reaction than an intentional self improvement project. Eventually she started the process of correcting the damage and her lips came back down near their natural size. She still makes the list of Hollywood's worst lips, as a precaution that has to be highlighted for the good of mankind.

6: Meg Ryan
Forget botched injections. Meg Ryan is believed to be suffering from a bad case of botched lip implants. She was already well known for her pouty, kissable lips, but her augmented lips took things in the new direction, a direction littered with wrong turns. Lets just hope she rebounds from this debacle, because shes truly one heck of an actress.

5: Lindsay Lohan
Everything about Lindsay Lohan turns into a media spectacle and never ending debate. While her lips are suspected of being unnaturally plumped, the star insists she has not had injections, fillers, implants or anything else done to her lips. Take a look at our before and after pictures. Do you think she is telling the truth? I think this is an open-and-shut cell...I mean, case!

4: Victoria Silvstedt
Swedish beauty Victoria Silvstedt makes the list of the worst lips in Hollywood because she simply did not need the work. She already had a beautiful mouth that men around the world wanted to kiss. Now she has enormous lips that overtake her face. What a shame. This is the definition of "too much of a good thing". Tisk tisk all over you!

3: Lil Kim
Is it an upper lip implant or collagen? Lil Kim isn't openly broadcasting what caused her overly plumped lips, but they are jumping off her face and you can't miss them. This is yet another sign of botched injections or surgeries that were not necessary. But then again, Lil Kim has become synonymous with the phrase "bad plastic surgery".

2: Lisa Rinna
The history of Lisa Rinna's lips have been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. If you recall, Rinna had an unfortunate experience with silicone lip injections back in the 1980's and developed significant scar tissue, causing her lips to become lumpy and uneven. It wasn't long before her bulbous lips began to define her, perhaps even elevating her career in a sense. However, Ms. Rinna was sick and tired of all the added attention her lips were receiving, so she chose to undergo lip reduction surgery in an attempt to restore some order to her whoopee cushion kisser.

1: Nikki Cox
The highly coveted number one spot on our list of the "worst celebrity lip injections", goes to none other than American actress, Nikki Cox. A true beauty who made a dreadful decision to overly enhance her lips. I choice that has literally transformed her career in show business. The photo pretty much speaks for itself.

Whenever you hear a young girl question why she can't have plastic surgery, show her a picture of Nikki Cox. This is an example of how botched injections and other surgeries can shatter beauty, rather than enhancing it.
