  • Though the rapper has balked at questions as to whether or not she has had work done, it seems pretty obvious that Lil' Kim's face has undergone some pretty dramatic changes lately.Lil' Kim poses in press room at the 2007 BET Awards (L) and backstage at the Reality of FASHION the Reality of AIDS 2013 fashion shot.
  • You've probably seen her face, but you might not know who she is. She truly has a face you simply cannot forget. Mainly because it's been etched into your brain.In the photo on the left, socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein is shown backstage at the Lloyd Klein show during Olympus Fashion Week in 2004. On the right, a mere four years later, Wildenstein is seen in Beverly Hills, California. We're willing to bet she was on her way to her plastic surgeon's office.
  • Oh Heidi. You should have run for the hills before you had a chance to undergo ten surgeries in a day. Her nose, her butt, her chin, her breasts... if she could change it, she did.On the left, a young Heidi Montag is seen at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. On the right, Heidi has a completely new look as she meets fans and sign copies of OK! Magazine in February, 2013. We think Heidi will have more surgeries in her future, as nothing lasts forever.
  • The always outspoken Joan Rivers is not afraid to admit she has gone under the knife several times. A story was making the rounds in 2012 claiming she had 739 surgeries performed on various parts of her body. She admitted to Anderson Cooper she's had a lot, but not quite that many.On the left, a younger-looking Joan Rivers is seen in 1999. On the right, Joan is shown fighting the signs of aging kicking and screaming in 2012.We're guessing 739 might not be too far from the truth.
  • On the left, we have Ashlee Simpson in 2002 at the Los Angeles Premiere of 'The Hot Chick.' On the right, we have Ashlee Simpson as she arrives at HBO's Annual Emmy Awards Post Awards Reception in 2012. Ashlee has admitted to having work done on her nose. We think that's enough for this young starlet.
  • On the left,  Brooke Hogan arrives at a party for photographer David LaChapelle At Mansion nightclub in 2004. On the right, Brooke is pictured arriving at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.Brooke reportedly boosted her bust size with implants in 2007, and she may have had some work done on her nose as well. Hulk's little girl is all grown up.
  • Tara's infamous wardrobe malfunction in 2004 put her plastic surgery nightmare into the spotlight across the country. Her breast was exposed, and there weren't many people who liked what they saw.On the left, Tara Reid attends the premiere of 'Black and White.' in 2000. Her low cut dress lets you know she's not rocking a D cup under there. On the right, Tara arrives at the 2004 Spike TV Video Game Awards with a much fuller figure. 
  • On the left, actress Jennifer Grey attends the premiere of 'Dirty Dancing' in 1987 at the Gemini Theater in New York City. On the right, Jennifer is seen at the world premiere of 'Bounce' in 2000. Baby has undergone some massive changes over the years, and we're not talking about the natural aging process. Her nose job is one of the most well-known surgeries in Hollywood, and like Donatella Versace, you probably wouldn't recognize her if you haven't seen her in a while.
  • My, has she changed.In the photo on the left, Donatella Versace is seen in 1999. On the right, Donatella Donatella Versace arrives at the Christian Dior Haute-Couture show as part of Paris Fashion Week Fall / Winter 2013 in July, 2012.She is barely recognizable from her first photo, and where on Earth are her eyebrows?
  • On the left, Michael Jackson is seen posing with his pet boa constrictor in1987. Early Jackson fans will always remember the entertainer looking this way.Fast forward several years, and we have Michael Jackson on the right in 2005. His skin is lighter, his nose is a train wreck, and his chin implant just looks odd. It's fairly safe to say the King of Pop was also the king of surgeries. 
  • LaToya Jackson must have thought plastic surgery was a hereditary trait she should follow suit in.On the left, LaToya is seen in 2003 at the Black Entertainment Television Awards. On the right, LaToya attends the Henri Bendel holiday window unveiling in 2012. It looks like LaToya has come a long way since her Playboy days. 
  • Kenny Rogers took a gamble on his appearance, and we think he should have folded.On the left, Kenny is shown in a 2001 photo from the 36th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. On the right (after an obvious brow lift and other facial surgery), Rogers was out and about promoting his memoir 'Luck or Something Like It' in 2012.
  • Unless you've been living under a rock, you're well aware that Pamela Anderson has changed almost every part of her body possible. In the photo on the left, a young Pam's high school yearbook photo is shown. This was Pam in 1984. On the right, Pamela attends the 2nd Annual Sean Penn and Friends Help Haiti Home Gala in January, 2013.Over the years, Pam had implants put in, later to be reduced (and likely added to again). Her natural dark hair has been bleached, and her face looks tighter now than it did when she was a teen.
  • Lisa Rinna is known for her thick, full lips. You may not know that their size was unintentional, though. Lisa's lips are from extreme surgery that didn't go the way she had expected.On the left, Lisa Rinna attends Uta Hagen's seminar at the Paramount Theater in 1997. On the right, Lisa Rinna speaks onstage at the 'All Star Celebrity Apprentice' breakfast in 2013.
  • Wayne Newton is currently working through some legal troubles that do not involve any plastic surgeons.Lovingly known as Mr. Las Vegas, Wayne's face has remained almost the same for at least 30 years. Good genes? We think not.On the left, Wayne Newton attends the Tyson vs. Norris heavyweight fight in 1999. On the right, Wayne attends Destination Fashion 2012. We wonder if his face is frozen like that?
  • On the left, comedian Carrot Top arrives at the world premiere of 'NSYNC-Bigger Than Live The Concert Movie' in 2001. On the right, Carrot Top is seen at the premiere of FilmDistrict's 'Parker' at Planet Hollywood in January, 2013.It looks like Carrot Top has become quite fond of botox, and is that eyeliner tattooed on around his eyes? The funny man has never confirmed or denied any plastic surgery or treatments, so we'll leave everything up to your imagination.
