Minka Kelly this week told David Letterman that she came thisclose to getting plastic surgery: She worked as a scrub nurse at a doctor's office in exchange for a planned boob job, which a former Playboy Playmate told her she needed. She ultimately changed her mind, reports the Huffington Post—but a lot of stars didn't. The Frisky relates 13 tales of celebs who went under the knife, only to publicly regret it later:
- Heather Morris: The Glee star got a boob job when she was younger, but had the implants removed because, she said, “it was hard being active with them, because my chest was always sore.”
- Tori Spelling: She also regrets her boob job, but for a different reason: Now that she’s a mom, she said, “if I had known that it would or could possibly impact production of milk, I wouldn’t have had them.”
- Lisa Rinna: She was famous for her pumped-up lips—and she didn’t like it. “My lips started to define who I am,” she said. “That bothered me,” so she got them deflated.
- Courtney Love: She also regrets lip work, because it made her mouth look “wonky,” she once blogged.
- Jamie Lee Curtis: Not only has she renounced her own plastic surgery, she also noted, “plastic surgery doesn’t work. Show me one person who’s had it done who doesn’t look weird.”
- Mickey Rourke: Yep, even guys have plastic surgery regrets. In Rourke’s case, he needed to have his nose rebuilt after it was broken twice while boxing, but says he “went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.”
