Each year, millions of people undergo one or more forms of plastic surgery, either to enhance their appearances, to correct minor flaws or even to help restore their appearances after being involved in accidents. Although society generally doesn’t notice when everyday people have cosmetic surgery performed, it sure sits up and takes notice when celebrities make any cosmetic changes to their appearances – such as those mentioned below.

Michael Douglas

This well-known actor has had more than his fair share of difficulties over the past few years – struggling with a devastating cancer diagnosis, having his wife diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dealing with a host of other family-related issues. However, when it comes to having plastic surgery performed, Michael Douglas has managed to wear his new facelift with pride – not only has it made him look younger; his procedure has been performed in such a way that it still enables him to look completely natural.

Lady Gaga

Millions of people around the world are known for making fun of this performer’s “poker face” appearance – however, it has been duly noted that her overall appearance has been improved dramatically after she had her recent rhinoplasty procedure performed. Yet again, this is an ideal example of a plastic surgery procedure that has been performed so as to ensure that the patient still looks as natural as possible after the procedure has been completed.

Kate Gosselin

Kate Gosselin was extremely keen to have her tummy tuck surgery performed back in 2006 – especially after the fact that she had given birth to a set of sextuplets as well as a set of twins. Many years later – in 2011 to be precise – this actor was still singing the praises of this procedure to her many fans on Twitter. Her words in this regard were, “Get through the first two weeks of pain and yuck. And it’ll be the BEST decision you’ve ever made. How’s that? ;).” Gosselin also mentioned that having tummy tuck surgery is probably the best thing a woman can do after she has given birth.

David Hasselhoff

Although he won’t openly admit to having any major forms of cosmetic surgery performed, it has been revealed that David Hasselhoff is a staunch fan and user of Botox injections. He also mentioned the fact that while he was skeptical of Botox in the beginning, he has realized that this convenient form of treatment has enabled him to feel good about the way he looks once again. Hasselhoff strongly encourages others to take the plunge, as it will help improve their levels of self-esteem dramatically.

Regardless of whether plastic surgery is being performed on an actor or on a regular patient, each procedure aims to achieve the same end results – namely, to help improve a person’s levels of self-esteem by making him or her look younger. If so many actors and other famous people are willing to flaunt their cosmetic surgery procedures, there is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone else doing the same.
