In the glittering world of Hollywood, where appearance often seems like everything, the stories of Kylie Jenner, Jessica Simpson, and Megan Fox stand out. These three celebrities have navigated the intense scrutiny of their looks, especially on their personal choices about plastic surgery. Along the way, they have shared their journeys toward self-acceptance.\n

1. Kylie Jenner\n\n
\n
Kylie Jenner, a prominent figure in the beauty and fashion industry, became a focal point in social media in April 2015, after the start of the #KylieJennerChallenge. This trend had teens placing glasses over their mouths and sucking in air to mimic Jenner’s plump lips. The challenge led to huge internet discussions about her appearance.\n\n

Jenner opened up about how it felt to experience this much attention at such a young age. She\u00a0confessed, \u201cI used to have a lot of anxiety. I never went out. If I tried to go to the movies or something, I would stop breathing in the middle and just cry. I\u2019m surprised there aren\u2019t videos of me out there. I felt super trapped like everybody was watching me. I felt like everyone was hating on me.\u201d\n\n

However, with the help of her mother, Kris Jenner, the reality TV star found it easier to navigate her anxieties and pressures of fame. \u201cI learned to slow down everything, focus on things that I love, and say no to things I didn\u2019t want to do,\u201d she\u00a0revealed.\n\n

The transformation in Jenner’s appearance, particularly her lips, has been a big topic on the internet. The mother of two decided to address the rumors surrounding the changes in her appearance. She\u00a0explained, “I think it started because I just wanted big, fat, juicy lips, and I just wanted that illusion that I had fuller lips. But no one taught me. When I started doing that, I wasn\u2019t working with makeup artists and stuff.”\n\n

She admitted to getting lip fillers but emphasized that she found it unfair that people expected her 27-year-old self to look the same as when she was in her teens. She\u00a0expressed:\n\n
\n
\n
\u201cI did end up getting lip fillers, but it\u2019s also the same with me. I\u2019ll see before and after photos when I\u2019m 12 years old versus 26 and my eyebrows are filled differently. I have contour on. I\u2019m like, \u2018How can you compare my 12-year-old face and say I\u2019ve gotten my jaw shaved and eyelids removed?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018What are we talking about?\u2019\u201d\n\n\n

Being a mother changed her perspective on beauty standards, especially since welcoming her daughter. Jenner now wants to embrace her\u00a0natural beauty\u00a0more and hopes that teaching her daughter about her mistakes will help her see the importance of self-acceptance.\n\n

Fox began by noting that despite women’s openness about their plastic surgeries, they still face online bullying. She pointed out that individuals like Kylie Jenner have been transparent about their procedures, yet they continue to receive negative attention online.\n\n

However, Fox was prepared to disclose the procedures she had undergone, especially since she had been accused of undergoing surgeries she hadn’t even considered. She emphasized her deep fear of surgery and general anesthesia, which has stopped her from exploring many cosmetic options.\n\n

Fox stated that she has never had a facelift or fat removal from her face. Given her petite frame, she explained that liposuction or body contouring is not an option for her. Nonetheless, the procedures she has undergone are fewer than many might assume.\n\n

Fox revealed that she had breast implants in her early 20s and underwent another surgery after breastfeeding her children. This was a big step for her because of her deep fear of going under the knife. Therefore, the actress said she told the doctor to give her the biggest breasts that her body can carry because she was not going to do another surgery.\n\n

The “Transformers” star also disclosed that she had rhinoplasty in her early 20s. Although some speculate she has had multiple nose jobs. The reason people might assume she has gotten multiple surgeries is because she is good at contouring it and making it look really small. From there Fox has gotten lip filler and Botox.\n\n
