Burns had numerous polyacrylamide injections in his lips, cheek implants, and a number of nose jobs.
When the singer underwent a lip treatment that went wrong, he had about 300 follow up procedures in an attempt to fix his ravaged lips. Burns has said, “When I’m 80 and get to heaven I want God to not recognize me”. He also revealed that he does not know how many times in his life he has gone under the knife. Sadly, in 2016, the singer passed away due to yet another botched cosmetic procedure.
Lara Flynn Boyle - Unknown
Lara Flynn Boyle is most famous for her work on 90s television sensation Twin Peaks, as well as legal drama The Practice and the feature film Men in Black II. As she got older, Boyle tried to preserve her youthful appearance by undergoing several cosmetic surgeries. Looking at her now, it seems like the surgeries did not have the desired effect, making her look older and almost unrecognizable.
She had some serious work done in 2006, including getting a nose job, lip augmentation, facial fillers, and a brow lift. Sadly, all these procedures ended up causing her face to swell and sag, making it hard to reconcile her with the way she looked at the beginning of her career.
Kathy Griffin – Unknown
This funny woman wasn't always all smiles, she has expressed how she felt very insecure growing up. however, she uses her sense of humor to discuss it and is also very candid about her various cosmetic procedures, that includes liposuction, rhinoplasty, brow lift, chemical peel, BOTOX®, and dental veneers.
What a list! But hey, we love how honest she is about it. Kathy Griffin once told Fitness magazine in regard to her plastic surgery: “I’ve had [a] face-lift, eye job, and all that stuff. It didn’t help me one bit. It didn’t get me happier or make me look particularly younger.” So, just note that there's no guarantee that cosmetic surgery will make you feel any better about your appearance.
Iggy Azalea - (Estimated) $20,000
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea made her way to the US when she was just 16 years old to pursue a career in music. She has done quite well for herself since, selling almost 50 million records and being nominated for two Grammys. Azalea dropped off the map for a while after her first album, but is back in the limelight after releasing her second album in 2019.
According to the singer, she felt that she could be fuller in the chest area and didn’t like her nose and it seems like she decided to do something about it. I didn’t [need plastic surgery],” Azalea said when talking to Ellen DeGeneres, that it was just a personal choice and everyone should be able to make an informed decision, and if they chose to change something about their bodies. Don't you agree?
