When he decided to become a professional boxer in 1991, Mickey Rourke sacrificed his acting career -- and his photogenic face. When the former heartthrob came back to Hollywood in the ‘00s, he said that his asymmetrical face was a result of boxing injuries. But in 2009, he admitted that plastic surgery had something to do with it. “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,” said Rourke, 59. The actor eventually learned to use his damaged face to his advantage in films like "Sin City" and "The Wrestler."
Lisa Rinna once said that her silicone-enhanced upper lip “made me who I am.” So why did the former Melrose Place star and "Dancing With the Stars" alum undergo a painful lip reduction in 2010? Rinna, 48, says that her first lip surgery ended badly: After two decades, the hardening silicone and scar tissue put ugly bumps in her perfect pout. Although Rinna says she’s happy with the reduction -- "My lip has no lumps! It's smooth," she raved after the procedure -- the change required 42 corrective stitches in her lip. (Youch!) Her new lips even drew praise on "Celebrity Apprentice" from Donald Trump, who announced in the boardroom during an episode last year that he liked her lips "a lot better now than I did a year ago” and telling her "You are so much more beautiful.” Then he fired her.
Rumors have flown for years that Kidman, who was nominated last year for an Oscar for her role in the film "Rabbit Hole," was using something on her seemingly never-aging face. But -- until recently -- she's denied them. In an interview early last year with the German magazine TV Movie, Kidman finally admitted she's used Botox. But she says she wasn't happy with the results. "I didn't like how my face looked afterwards," she says. "Now I don't use it anymore -- I can move my forehead again!"
There are some things that just shouldn’t be done on a whim, as Kourtney Kardashian learned the hard way. The celebutante, and co-star of the reality show "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," has confessed that she had her breasts increased from a B-cup to a C-cup on impulse when she was 22. “I just got the idea in my head one day, and that was that. There was no talking me out of it,” she recalls. “It was so dumb.” By the time she reached age 30, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" had made Kourtney a star -- and her augmented breasts were causing her serious discomfort, especially when lying down. “They don’t feel like part of my body. If I’d researched it, I probably wouldn’t have gotten a boob job,” Kardashian has said.
In January 2010, Heidi Montag earned a special place in the celebrity plastic surgery hall of shame. That’s when she revealed her new, almost unrecognizable face and body: the result of 10 cosmetic procedures in one day. “I've never felt more beautiful and sexier,” gushed the star of "The Hills." “I didn't know I could have this much confidence.” But the extreme changes -- including liposuction, breast and butt implants, a forehead lift and a chin reduction, to name just a few -- soon took their toll. Toward the end of the year, Montag revealed the scars, lumps and bald spots that remained as a result of the surgery. She also complained of pain and discomfort from her size G breasts. "I would love to not be 'plastic girl' or whatever they call me,” Montag told Life and Style. “Surgery ruined my career and my personal life and just brought a lot of negativity into my world. I wish I could jump into a time machine and take it all back. Instead, I'm always going to feel like Edward Scissorhands."
Jennifer Grey’s too-extreme nose job is one of the worst plastic surgery decisions in Hollywood history -- and she knows it. Grey, 51, has said that she just wanted to remove the distinctive bump on her nose, but instead she emerged with a different face entirely. "I went in the operating theatre a celebrity -- and came out anonymous,” says the "Dirty Dancing" star. "I'll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognizes... because of a nose job." For a while, the unrecognizable actress even considered changing her name and re-starting her career entirely! Thankfully, Grey got her celebrity cred back when she became a "Dancing With the Stars" champion. See? Nobody puts baby in a corner!
Even an Olympic gold medal winner can’t stay young forever! Bruce Jenner, former track and field star and current stepdad to the Kardashian sisters, went under the knife 25 years ago. When Jenner re-entered the public eye on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" his painfully obvious facelift and nose job became the butt of jokes. "Unfortunately, the result wasn't what Bruce had hoped for and for years since then he has been the victim of cruel taunts from the media,” Kim Kardashian wrote on her blog. For his sixtieth birthday in 2009, Jenner decided to correct the damage with a second facelift. He showed off the new and improved results on -- where else? -- an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
The singer of “The Gambler” made a bad bet when he decided to get his eyes done in 2005. Country legend Kenny Rogers, who admits to multiple cosmetic procedures, wasn’t happy when his plastic surgeon gave his eyes a permanently startled look. “I kind of wish I hadn’t done it,” Rogers, 73, said in 2008. “Looking back at some pictures of myself, my eyes were a lot warmer than they are now, and I miss that.” But although gossips have spent a lot of time dwelling on Rogers’ face, the singer himself takes a more Zen attitude. “As you go through life, you make choices,” he says of the surgery. “Some are good, some are bad.”
Jamie Lee Curtis built her acting career on a killer sense of humor and a perfect body. As she reached her forties, her sense of humor remained intact, but she boldly revealed that her body wasn’t so perfect. “I've had a little lipo, I've had a little Botox,” said Curtis, who posed without make-up in More in 2002. “And you know what? None of it works… Nobody tells you if you take fat from your body in one place, it comes back in another place.” Curtis, 53, swears that plastic surgery never helped her -- in fact, she “looked worse” after going under the knife. From here on out the actress is committed to aging naturally -- and we have to say, she looks fabulous!

She’s a very funny lady, but Kathy Griffin isn’t joking about the surgical procedure that nearly killed her. In her 2009 memoir "Official Book Club Selection," the comedienne published gory photos of a botched liposuction that left her looking “like a CSI crime-scene photo.” Griffin, 51, says she released the pictures as a public service: “I want women to know when you get liposuction trying to be Jennifer Aniston, this is what it really looks like.” The bold celebrity also admits to getting a nose job at age 26 -- which, she says now, did absolutely nothing to help her career.
