Why do most celebrities lie about their plastic surgery procedures?

[Anonymous]

I get that it can be invasive to talk about your personal life like that, especially with stuff to do with insecurities and cosmetic surgery, so I understand that some celebrities want to avoid talking about their cosmetic surgeries altogether. It's also probably embarrassing to admit for some people and it's not anyone else's business really.

But why do some celebrities outright lie about their plastic surgery? Especially when it's obvious they got many procedures done? Do they think the public is stupid and we can't tell for ourselves?

They often tell these ridiculous stories like "I got in a car accident" or "I had breathing problems as so needed to get my nose fixed."

Are the lies to preserve their "perfect" image? Also, why do so many celebrities get plastic surgery in the first place?

[stellamint]

I don't think there's anything shameful about getting plastic surgery, so I don't really understand the need to lie about it. I think celebrities do not want to be seen as insecure or imperfect, and for them, getting plastic surgery would mean that something was wrong or "ugly" in the first place. Or it would mean that they don't have enough force of character to accept themselves as they are. Every one has the freedom to do whatever they want to their body/face but I think they should take responsibility since they're creating unrealistic beauty standards to the rest of the people.

Lol I think it’s cuz they feel ashamed and don’t want people to call them fake. And all that stigma surrounding plastic surgery. People also like talking and judging people who have had procedures. They get called insecure, “she’s only pretty because she fixed her nose”, “she’s pretty cuz she’s had plastic surgery”. I’m all for surgery if you look prettier and feel better about yourself but don’t get addicted and make sure the procedure WILL change your life for the better.

Out of these examples, Bella admitted that she got her nose done and that she regrets it. (However I think she denies having anything else done but seems like she had a facelift or eyebrow lift as well)

But I think it’s just because they don’t want to get shamed for it. I feel bad for celebs, they just can’t win tbh. They get shamed for their appearance if they’re natural, they get shamed if they lie about surgery, shamed if they tell the truth.

With Zac's case it wasn't actually plastic surgery but actual surgery. o... o

If you do some research into the matter the man tripped in a puddle and actually landed straight on his jaw against a granite fountain at his place in 2013. and actually needed it to be wired shut just to heal. >.>and so the change in jaw line is actually just how the jaw healed for the most part.

[Asker]

Yeah sorry I like zac but I'm not buying that story at all. He looked like his regular self all these years after the accident happened up until now. Plus, his eyes and nose have changed as well. Again I like him a lot, but I smell an untruth.

[Pyrofox]

You do understand what we could have been seeing was just inflammation right?

[Asker]

yes but years and years later? No chance. Inflammation from injuries doesn't just not appear for years and then suddenly emerge randomly. Plus as I said, the nose is shorter and the eyes are different. Looks like lip filler too.

[Pyrofox]

Well inflammation is dependant on the body to make anti inflammation chemicals so that cells can deflate for some, they are just naturally... "PUFFY" Its like all the geniuses who drink carbonated drinks all the time and are often like why do I always seem fat. Well.. Where do you think all the carbonation is going?

[Asker]

Again, not years later. Swelling or inflammation from the body only lasts only a couple of weeks after the surgery is done. His face was normal in 2013-2021. It's only in 2021 that his face changed. There's no way.

[Summeroflove]

I don’t think it matters. But lying is never good. It’s better to say nothing about it.

Personally when someone lies about something it makes me not like them. But frankly who really cares?

[Asker]

Yeah I don't like liars

[Summeroflove]

Yeah me neither especially when it is something that don't even matter. If someone will lie about something like that... What else will they?

[Brando10222]

They think it will affect their image. Even Jennifer Lopez did it few days before her 50th birthday so she looks more young. And they tell others to be themselves 🤣🤣

[Asker]

Agree, I do feel for celebrities because they are always under scrutiny and judgement, so that's probably a big part of the lying. But yes the whole preaching of "confidence" and then doing this is contradictory lol

[Brando10222]

The thing everyone has their own life and they should think and focus on what they want to do in life. And not what others think. Cause a part of people will always talk crap about you even if you do something good or bad

[Asker]

Very true.

[Brando10222]

Always be yourself girl! That's most important in life. Don't let this celebs or Instagram and Snapchat affect your life. People only post good stuff on it and not really show how crapy their life's are

[xJayleenx]

Bella hadid didn’t lie about hers and she even opened up saying that she regretted it she got it at 14 and I believe that her mom forced her 🤦🏽‍♀️. My guess as to why celebrities lie is because they’re embarrassed about the work they got done and they want people to think that they’re a natural beauty.

[wingattebaby16]

because they think money can buy happiness, but no matter what they spend, they are still not happy.

They are not content with who they are, what they are, and where they are in life.

[BeMuse]

They lie about everything else, why would you expect their behavior to change when it comes to plastic surgery? An actor is literally a professional liar.

[AngelBritney]

Insecurities. They want people to believe they look better, especially when they age.

Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, The Kardashians and so many more celebrities feel the pressure to look perfect or the (social) media will insult them. (But they will insult them anyway when they find out about their plastic surgeries)

[Anonymous]

I’m not a celebrity but I personally would feel embarrassed to tell people I’m so insecure about a certain body part of mine to the point I would consider paying thousands of dollars to change it

[Opinion Owner]

Would you feel embarrassed?

[Asker]

Probably, but I might not make up a story which is obviously unbelievable. It's their right to keep it a secret, but I think the outrageous excuses are insulting to our intelligence haha

[Opinion Owner]

I’m just going to guess why some celebrities try to deny they have had plastic surgery or try to keep it is a secret is because they feel embarrassed to admit they had self esteem issues.

[PetiteBabe64]

Nobody wants to Watch a movie with a Ugly Actor especially the Third photo you got there.
No way would I watch a movie that has someone so Unattractive that it Will bother me throughout the entire movie possibly giving me a headache.

[BlueScorpio]

Probably cause they want it to look natural as possible without pointing it out or others noticing. Also they know the media will blow up and they will receive some backlash from people. So they rather not say anything or lie about it.

[Talea]

Probably because they want their fans to just think they're perfect, but the truth is the majority have had it, even though they vehemently deny it.

Then you get the fans who deny their faves have had surgery, like Angelina Jolie fans.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t like liars. Lies make good looking people ugly.

[Anonymous]

Seriously who cares about celebrities? Anything you see on the media, is fake. Only a fool would believe it's real

[Asker]

True it's fake. But it's damaging all the same.

[Fireguy17]

The more you lie about it the greater the chance you will start to believe it your self.

[Jamie05rhs]

The same reason you're posting anonymously right now.

[Asker]

Touche

[Jamie05rhs]

Lol.

[red324]

Damn Maybe I should get it done. Who knew Zac Efron had plastic surgery. He must be older than I thought.

[Lynn2001]

Umm is that zac efron one real? Since when has this happened?

[Asker]

I think since 2021. I feel bad for him though

[EaterPeter]

People should keep that info. To self t9 certain level. As long as it is not impacting someone else's life in a bad way

[millybug]

Because they didn't believe they were so beautiful before.

[Anonymous]

because they have a mental illness

[TroyDT2]

Their entire lives are built on illusion.
