When used in moderation, plastic surgery can be a real asset.

Small, subtle adjustments can help diminish certain insecurities, refine features, or soften imperfections. However, when these procedures become frequent and obsessive,

the results can be disastrous. Many celebrities have crossed this line and paid the price.

A new year is the perfect time for resolutions: getting back into sports, eating healthier,

taking better care of oneself… But for some public figures, another piece of advice is necessary: take a break from their plastic surgeon. While many stars

had natural beauty before undergoing these transformations, excessive modifications have sometimes completely altered their appearance.

The first names that come to mind are Donatella Versace and Mickey Rourke, who have, unwillingly, become striking examples of plastic surgery gone too far. However, they are far from the only ones to have crossed this line.

Oversized lips, overly prominent cheekbones, faces frozen by Botox… Some have undergone such drastic changes

that they are now almost unrecognizable. In Hollywood, where youth is an absolute requirement, the relentless pursuit of an ideal appearance pushes some celebrities

to multiply procedures, often at the expense of their original beauty.

Take, for instance, some of the iconic stars of the 1990s, once admired for their natural looks, who have

now lost all expressiveness due to repeated transformations. Where a few subtle adjustments would have sufficed to maintain their charm, they succumbed to excess, to the point of becoming mere shadows of themselves.
