PHOTOS: 10 Stars who have Dramatically Transformed Their Faces
Ali and Lindsay Lohan have more in common than their last name! both the scandalous starlet and her little, aspiring model sister have been accused of changing their profiles with plastic surgery.
Kim Basinger was one of the sexiest big screen bombshells of the 1980s and 1990s, but recently the star has created quite a stir with her plastic looking face.
Heidi Montag is one of the biggest plastic surgery disasters of all times, publically transforming her young and youthful looking face into a surgery spectacle.
And Twin Peaks star Lara Flynn Boyle was one of the most beautiful stars of her time, but a decade and several reported surgeries later, she looks nothing like she did in her heyday.

Lindsay Lohan has been accused of shoving a woman at a West Hollywood nightclub.
The 'Mean Girls' actress — who, last month, successfully completed the terms of her probation, which was initially set as punishment for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction — was allegedly involved in an altercation with another female during a night out last week and on Saturday. The woman filed a battery complaint against Lindsay.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's official Sergeant Chris Bowman said: "It's just an allegation. It's been received by our detectives."
Bowman said a detective will check the validity of the complaint but Lindsay's publicist has questioned why the woman waited until Saturday to go to the sheriff department's at West Hollywood Station to file a complaint.
Steve Honig said: "you have to wonder about someone who calls the media before the police."
When the judge terminated the probation last month, Lindsay smiled broadly and breathed a sigh of relief, before hugging her lawyer Shawn Holley.
The judge then advised Lindsay to curb her partying ways to help her stay out of trouble in future.
she said: "I know it's kinda hard when people are following you all of the time, but that's the life you chose.
"you need to live your life in a more mature way, stop clubbing and focus on work."
The 25-year-old star star thanked Judge Stephanie Sautner for the way she had dealt with her case.
she said: "I just want to thank you for being fair. what you've done has really opened a lot of doors for me and I appreciate it."
Lindsay will now stay on informal probation relating to a misdemeanour theft last year and must not break any laws for the next 30 months.
The judge told her: "The only terms on that case are to obey all laws. It's not that hard."
Let me say it again here, just in case the headline up there isn’t loud and clear enough: Journalists — and all of you hacks who pretend to be journalists — ENOUGH already.
Stop obsessing over whether an actress lost/gained weight, or if you think her face looks “puffy,” or if you think she looks older than you feel she should, or whatever other moronic obnoxious thing it is you’re obsessing about today.
The extent of snarky belligerence in so much media writing about these women and many others, and the frenzied focus on their weight, is shameful. We’ve seen endless accusations of eating disorders, of plastic surgery, of being “too heavy” for a particular role in a film, and other such obnoxious crap forever, and it’s got to stop.
Lindsay Lohan has been dragged through the mud back and forth for years now, subjected to all manner of insults, mockery, and accusations. This, despite the fact she was still very young throughout most of the coverage, and most of her “bad behavior” was personal behavior that should’ve been nobody else’s business. Her struggles with substance use and abuse in her young life shouldn’t be reduced to cheap exploitative little articles betting on whether she’ll have a relapse. we treat her like she’s not even a human being, and we pretend it’s acceptable because she’s famous and wealthy, we pretend we have a right to prod into her life at every personal moment and talk about her in the most demeaning, dehumanizing ways. And the rude, small-minded media coverage started when she was still so young that we should’ve understood her struggles with the difficulties of balancing fame, fortune, and a personal private life. but nobody bothered trying to understand, because it was easier to mock and exploit this young woman’s problems, and too many writers nowadays will always take the easier route.
Meanwhile, amid the praise and box office success of The Hunger Games came a few critics and writers who focused on Jennifer Lawrence, calling her too “heavy” and basically promoting the worst sort of attitudes about women’s weight and bodies. The film critics who zeroed in on Lawrence‘s body for criticism tried in some cases to pretend they were merely complaining that she didn’t look “starving,” but of course that’s just intellectually dishonest in light of the fact they pretty much ignored any similar complaints about the male characters who were obviously far from starving. Lawrence has made public statements that reveal she has a negative body image of herself, and I have little doubt that the mindless utterances of some critics and entertainment writers have played a role in perpetuating that negative self image.
The same sort of small minded attitudes were on display against Miley Cyrus recently as well, because she lost a few pounds due to a new diet. she can’t go out in public lately without a flurry of writers proclaiming she has an eating disorder, calling her too skinny or withering away and other such tripe. It’s the precise reverse of what Lawrence faces from those media trolls, and it demonstrates that there is only a very narrow window in which a female can avoid being accused of being too heavy or of having an eating disorder. This followed a flare up of media speculation about Cyrus’ breasts, too, so besides the constant media accusations about being too heavy or too small, we can add accusations of plastic surgery to the mix of what women can expect in terms of lousy brainless treatment from the press. Lohan has been subjected to a ton of media speculation recently claiming she’s had surgery as well, and for female stars, the plastic surgery questions and focus are a constant refrain.
Case in point, Ashley Judd and the recent media freak-out over whether her face might have looked slightly “puffy.” how much of a hack do you really have to be to pick as your article topic “her face was slightly puffy, I wonder why?” I can’t begin to express the true level of my disdain for this sort of guttural mentality among the media. I struggle to find other words besides “stupid” and “mindless,” but there aren’t enough terms for what comes below stupidity. do a Google search for Judd’s name (you don’t even have to put quotation marks around it)- and look at what comes up. “Puffiness” rules the search returns. Judd has personally responded, by rightly criticizing the inane ramblings of the press on this matter, and I hope she inspires other women to start hitting back every time the press starts a new round of this kind of thing.
When Lindsay Lohan stepped out on stage to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ earlier this month, it was supposed to mark her triumphant comeback after another wretched year marked by one court appearance and legal problem after another.
In reality, the show turned out to be the latest setback in the 25-year-old’s trainwreck of a career. The critics pounced.
"although last night marked her fourth time hosting SNL, it became clear early on that her range was limited. for most of the show, she was relegated to making faces in the background," cribbed ‘Entertainment Weekly’.
Added the ‘Huffington Post’: "[Lindsay] hasn’t acted in so long that her cue-card reading was really obvious."
Comedienne Joan Rivers stuck the boot in, too. "Lindsay Lohan was so bad on SNL that the judge is sending her back to rehab, but for acting lessons," read her rather lame quip on Twitter.
Singer Josh Groban even seemed personally offended by Lindsay’s hosting. "East coasters, what’s happening on #SNL?" he tweeted. "should I keep practising and working hard at what I do, or is that not necessary any more?"
Still, the show was a huge ratings hit, and, to be fair to Linsday, she had her moments, namely the ‘Real Housewives of Disney’ skit where the actress played a bitter Rapunzel.
The case of ‘LiLo’ is frustrating, because it’s not as if Hollywood hasn’t given this real-life fallen Disney princess more than one chance to put her alcohol abuse, rehab and court cases behind her.
In the mid-Noughties, around the time she was filming ‘Herbie Fully Loaded’, Lindsay’s personal problems had started to overshadow her promising career.
Having built a reputation more as a party girl than an actress (hanging out with Paris Hilton’s posse will do that), she had two chances to get her career back on track.
She landed roles in the movies ‘A Prairie Home Companion’, directed by Robert Altman and co-starring Meryl Streep, and ‘Georgia Rule’, opposite ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress Felicity Huffman and film legend Jane Fonda.
The actress was so unreliable and unprofessional on the set of the latter that she put Jane Fonda’s nose rightly out of joint.
"she parties all the time," Fonda told the press. "She’s young and she can get away with it. but … it’s hard after a while to party very hard and work very hard. She’ll learn that."
But she didn’t. After that came two trips to rehab and an 84-minute spell in jail, but Lindsay looked set to claw her way back with a guest stint on the hit TV show ‘Ugly Betty’ in 2008.
She now looked healthier, and started an attention-grabbing relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson.
But her erratic behaviour cultivated a reputation that she was too unreliable, rendering her essentially unemployable.
Still, proving that there was still some goodwill towards her in the business, Linsday landed the juicy role of porn star Linda Lovelace in a forthcoming biopic.
However, she duly lost it again a few months later, after turning up in court for a Driving Under the Influence hearing with ‘F*ck U’ spelled out on her fingertips.
She landed another stint in jail, this time for 14 days.
Since then, the actress has posed for ‘Playboy’, secured a role in the upcoming Gotti crime biopic, and has just been cast as Elizabeth Taylor in a TV movie; a job she’ll keep as long as she stays out of court.
Lindsay has since stated that she wants to win an Oscar by age 30, but her track record confirms that the only thing stopping her from achieving that is herself.
Because it’s not as if Hollywood is an especially unforgiving place that is intent on casting its wayward, down-on-their-luck stars and recidivist troublemakers forever into the wilderness.
Tinseltown loves a comeback, and the more spectacular the better.
One of the textbook examples of actors making their way back from the brink is Robert Downey Jr.
This poster boy for career rehabilitation spent most of the 1990s battling addictions to cocaine, marijuana and heroin, and ended up doing a year in rehab-prison for missing a required drug test.
His career was believed to be in the gutter, and yet, within a week of his release from the clink, Robert got a second chance with an award-winning stint on the TV comedy ‘Ally McBeal’.
However, he fell off the wagon after only a year on the show, and arrested on further drug charges.
After dodging a second spell in prison — entering drug rehab and staying on probation instead — Robert slowly started making his way back into the business, thanks in large part to his old pal Mel Gibson, who offered to pay the insurance bond to cover Robert while he made the movie ‘The Singing Detective’.
It was just the boost his recovering career needed. He went on to earn rave reviews for roles in the likes of ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ and ‘Zodiac’, before he was decreed safe enough to carry a major comic-book franchise, ‘Iron Man’, in 2008.
Robert (46) hasn’t looked back since, and today he can command upwards of $15m per movie.
Another recent comeback success story is Mickey Rourke, who’d spent his life and career battling drugs, booze and mental illness. He then wrecked his good looks forever when he turned to amateur boxing, requiring several bouts of plastic surgery.
Mickey was as washed-up as they come at the turn of millennium, but with a new humble attitude, he took on some small supporting roles that proved to be important networking opportunities.
This led to him being cast in the lead role in ‘Sin City’ in 2005, but it was ‘The Wrestler’ three years later that really brought the star back into the Hollywood fold.
Since then, Mickey (now 59) has played the villain in ‘Iron Man 2′, made a cameo in ‘The Expendables’, and is currently prepping to play gay Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas in a forthcoming biopic.
Look also at the example of John Travolta. He might be pretty quiet these days — save for ‘flying’ Oprah’s audience to Australia — but that’s nothing compared to the drought he experienced for much of the 1980s and early 1990s.
Having become an international sensation thanks to ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Grease’, John was then reduced to fare such as the ‘Look Who’s Talking’ franchise.
But in 1994, he pulled off one of the most stunning comebacks in Hollywood history, taking a massive paycut and scruffing up to play a hitman in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’.
An Oscar nomination ensued, and soon after John was getting up to $20m per movie.
But he shot himself in the foot again with the 2000 movie ‘Battlefield Earth’, and his continued association with Scientology hasn’t helped matters either.
There’s still some life in there yet. His cross-dressing role in ‘Hairspray’ was good fun, so there’s every chance that John Travolta has one more comeback in him.
Alas, Hollywood comebacks, like most things in life, are easier for the men than they are the women. Unfortunately for LiLo, there isn’t really a female equivalent of a Robert Downey Jr that she can use as a role model.
Probably the only contemporary example of a young actress reclaiming the respect of the industry and her peers is Drew Barrymore.
That she is such a Hollywood powerhouse today — running her own production studio and banking $12m per flick — is testament to Drew’s resilience in rehabilitating her personal and professional lives throughout her early 20s.
A child star at age six in ‘ET’, she entered rehab for drug addiction at 13, attempted suicide at 14, and was declared washed-up by the time she came of voting age.
However, after getting her act together, Drew clawed her way back with a cameo in ‘Scream’, and from there, a star was reborn.
That being said, such a comeback is probably made a tad easier when you’re the member of a legendary, Oscar-laden acting dynasty, and Steven Spielberg and Sophia Loren are your godparents.
Still, better Drew’s comeback template for Lindsay than the far more unsettling modern example of Britney Spears. After the breakdowns, divorces, rehab, head-shaving, custody battles and hospitalisations, there’s a sense that the Britney of yore just isn’t there any more.
Though she has staged successful world tours since, and surprised critics with her latest music, there’s a nagging feeling that she’s merely going through the motions to please her management, including her "conservator" father Jamie, who has spent the past five years running her career, if not her life.
That said, Britney seems to be reclaiming some independence: her father is believed to be relinquishing his conservatorship as a gift to his daughter for her upcoming nuptials to her former manager Jason Trawick.
And Simon Cowell is rumoured to be headhunting her to be a judge on the ‘US X Factor’.
But in Hollywood, actresses are more likely to make more successful comebacks from professional missteps rather than personal ones.
Even powerhouses such as Jodie Foster and Julia Roberts had their spells in the wilderness early in their careers.
For the bulk of the 1980s, one-time child star Foster went into self-imposed seclusion, ostensibly to earn her college degree, but mainly to avoid the spotlight; having a maniac shoot the American president in a bid to impress you — as John Hinckley Jr did with Ronald Reagan — will probably do that to a girl.
In 1988, a 26-year-old Jodie decided to relaunch her movie career with a small film about a waitress who is gang-raped. she was sure she’d blown it, and dreaded the public response to the movie, ‘The Accused’. it ended up being a hit, and bagged Foster the first of two best Actress Oscars.
Julia Roberts, meanwhile, made a series of bad career choices for most of the 1990s after her breakthrough in ‘Pretty Woman’.
One dud after another (‘I love Trouble’/'Mary Reilly’ anyone?) — and turned-down roles in hits such as ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ and ‘While You Were Sleeping’ — left the industry wondering if Julia’s megawatt star-power was sustainable.
She turned it around, however, by showing edginess in the spiky comedy ‘My best Friend’s Wedding’, and then bagged an Oscar with the role of her life in ‘Erin Brockovich’.
One last option for Lindsay might be to go the way of another troubled young star who blew one big chance after another, but then gained new admiration and a massive fortune by turning to TV.
Kiefer Sutherland squandered all of his goodwill in Hollywood throughout the 1990s due to his immature, unprofessional attitude and love of partying.
He had nothing left to lose in 2001 when he signed on to play a counter-terrorism agent in an innovative, though commercially risky, TV series called ’24′.
A decade later, Kiefer has a mantelpiece of awards, his pick of TV, stage and movie roles, and upwards of $40m in the bank.
What is going on with all the Pillow Faces in Hollywood? There’s been a rash of them lately, each one seemingly worse than the next. A Pillow Face is the term used when a person has overplumped cheeks, causing them to look like a Cabbage Patch Doll or as if they’re storing nuts for the winter. Here are some Hollywood stars who appear to have exhibited Pillow Faces of late:
1. Ashley Judd - this natural beauty recently resurfaced to promote her new show Missing. What’s really missing, though, are the wrinkles in her forehead and her previous appearance. she and her reps have denied plastic surgery, instead blaming her puffy cheeks on a combination of steroid treatments and a sinus infection. to read more about Ashley Judd’s face, click HERE for the MSNBC.com article and HERE for the RadarOnline.com article, both with my quotes.
2. Ellen Pompeo - has Gray changed her facial Anatomy by getting a Pillow Face? Looks like it! Click HERE to see recent photos.
3. Lindsay Lohan – Not only are her cheeks overly puffy, but so is the rest of her face. Click HERE to see what’s the scoop with LiLo.
4. Madonna – The Material Girl just might be the originator of the Pillow Face. Click HERE for a photo.
Why are there so many stars sporting a Pillow Face and why didn’t we see it before?
Up until recently, most plastic surgeons considered facial aging to be a two-dimensional process. They believed that aging caused the face to sag, hence the treatments all involved lifting. this created the wind-tunnel looks of many of the older facelift and plastic surgery patients. One of my mentors, Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, was among the first to describe facial aging as a 3-dimensional process, one that involved sagging PLUS deflation. We described this in our 2004 article, The Volumetric Facelift. Now all sorts of plastic (and non-plastic) surgeons have realized that proper facial rejuvenation surgery requires a combination of tightening loose skin PLUS adding volume to treat deflation.
Unfortunately, some of these doctors are going way, way overboard. instead of a conservative filling-in of the cheeks, they’re plumping faces as if blowing up a balloon. Hence, the dreaded Pillow Face.
As for most things in life, moderation is the key. A little volume is a great thing. A lot of volume makes a person look not like a Man, but like a Muppet.
When did Lindsay Lohan go from ‘it girl’ to (insert-insult here)? I’ve seen some variation of that question popping up all over the Internet recently, in response to Lohan’s SNL-hosting gig and Matt Lauer interview—and I think it should stop. no matter you think of plastic surgery in general or Lohan’s sober, bleached-blond and pouffy-lipped reincarnation in pop culture, it doesn’t make it right to totally bash and snark at the way Lohan looks now.
Like the ‘when did this become hotter than this?’ meme—the ‘look at what Lindsay has done to herself!’ crowd seems quite often to have good (or ‘body-positive’) intentions. Briana even wrote here last week about how the work Lohan’s had done has only made her look older, and presents “a good case against plastic surgery.” There are plenty of corners of the Internet where the Lohan commentary is pure snarking or gossiping, but most of the posts I’ve looked at have expressed (at least faux) concern that a pretty, 25-year-old girl would feel the need to already be getting plastic surgery.
A certain amount of public disapproval of a woman as young as Lohan getting plastic surgery doesn’t bother me; like I’ve said here before, I don’t believe celebrities who very consciously put themselves in the public eye deserve complete silence on things they do that are taboo. But even if Lohan has had plastic surgery, or facial fillers, or lip injections, or whatever, that doesn’t justify bashing her or focusing so much on her appearance now. The amount of cruelty and vitriol directed at Lohan online goes far beyond ‘it’s a shame a young actress feels the need for so much artificiality to feel (pretty/worthwhile/etc.)’ to a digital freak-show—folks gawking at the worst photos of Lohan alongside the most red-haired and fresh-faced of Lohan photos from her Disney child star days.
And it’s not nice. And it’s not cool.
I also happen to think people are wrong about how much plastic surgery Lohan has had, and that bloggers exaggerate the extent of the difference between Lohan’s then and now with the photos they showcase. Think about all the times a friend’s photo has caught you mid-blink, or in the middle of talking. sometimes droopy eyelids and other telltale signs of ‘drunkenness’ and other debauchery can just be pictures taken at the wrong moment. Imagine how often that happens when people are taking pictures of you everywhere you go. [Also: the lady got famous at, like, 17 and has gone through an eating disorder, alcoholism and drug issues in the public eye; I think we should all give her face and body a little leeway to change, okay? I know I looked drastically different at various points between 14 and 25.]
As for the overall I-date-Hugh-Hefner (or call it ‘Real Housewives of Disney‘) vibe of Lohan’s new look—I think that’s more bad beauty choices than any irreversible ‘damage’ Lohan’s done through cosmetic procedures or drug use. when you see pictures of Lohan without all the makeup, the spray tan or the trophy-wife Barbie hairstyle, she looks like more-or-less the same fresh-faced, slightly-chubby-cheeked girl people remember her as circa ‘Mean Girls.’ maybe, if anything, Lohan just needs a (better) stylist.
For reasons unknown to me, I have been receiving US Weekly in the mail for over a year now. For someone who is COMPLETELY out of the celebrity loop (and RARELY blogs about celebs), reading US Weekly has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine and something to, well, laugh at or make fun of.
OR SOMETHING TO COMPLETELY FREAK ME OUT, like Lindsay Lohan’s “new” face. seriously, I about died.
On the left, old Lindsay (2008). the right, “new” Lindsay (2012). Um, why?
Taken from my US Weekly Mag. (dated March 19, 2012)
I am completely appalled, shocked and confused as to why Lindsay did so much work to her face, especially at such a young age. Personally, I am not completely against plastic surgery itself and have actually thought about a tummy tuck many times for myself, but wow. Just, wow. it looks like she added 15-20 years to her age, which I assume wasn’t the goal she was after.
What do you think? Do you think Lindsay Lohan went too far?
Lindsay Lohan is trying to change her reputation. Unfortunately she may have gone too far this time, leaving her face shockingly puffy and swollen. From the look of things, LiLo is not the poster child for plastic surgery gone badly.
Lindsay Lohan appears to have had not only a little cosmetic surgery recently, but to have had very BAD surgery. the hot-mess that is Lindsay now appears to have had some sort of filler added to her face. Gone is the gaunt Lindsay, replaced by chipmunk with her cheeks stuffed full of nuts.
Of course, Lindsay’s representatives deny that she has had any work done, despite what some experts are saying looking at her recent photographs. Unfortunately the pictures (and Saturday Night Live’s cameras) don’t lie. this is not Lindsay Lohan.
This is some imposter who has added filler to her cheeks. the results are shocking, though would anyone actually be shocked by anything that Lindsay does these days?
New York, Mar 4 : Lindsay Lohan poked fun at herself and the recent mishaps in her life on the weekend’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ show.
In her opening monologue, the 25-year-old actress gets frisked by one cast member, had her pupils checked for signs of drug use by another, and sets off an alarm when she tried to step off stage, the new York Daily News reported.”I thought you guys trusted me,” Lohan said in mock-horror while wearing a tight blue dress.”I get the feeling everyone thinks I’m going to screw up,” she said.Lohan’s performance seemed uneven at times, but she got the most chuckles during a ‘Real Housewives of Disney’ skit in which she played a sassy, violent Rapunzel.She also played herself in a “Scared Straight” skit, donning a jail jumpsuit and warning kids to stay out of trouble.”First you’re hanging out with mean girls and then you’re stealing a necklace,” she said.According to TMZ.com, the troubled star wanted to make light of her recent run-ins with the law including her arrests, endless court dates, necklace-stealing saga, jail, morgue duty.Sources said that Lohan wanted to show the world that she doesn’t take herself as seriously as people think, and actually has a sense of humour about the legal troubles that have plagued her the last few years. (ANI)
Party girl Lindsay Lohan is not known for doing anything in moderation, and she seems to have kept up her track record of excess with some over-the-top cosmetic surgery.
When the troubled mean Girls star stepped out on the red carpet at the 2012 amfAR New York Gala on Wednesday night, even her mane of blonde hair and billowing fur coat couldn’t distract from the obvious changes in her face, and RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal what she may have had done.

“She looks nothing like the pretty young girl on Freaky Friday, although ‘freaky’ is a good word to describe her appearance,” celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not treated the star, exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
“I suspect that hard living combined with some plastic surgery is causing her to look virtually unrecognizable.,” he went on to say.

“Her lips look plumped and stiff, possibly from injections of Restylane. her forehead is also excessively smooth, consistent with injections of Botox or Dysport.”
Dr. Youn even thinks that Lindsay has gone beyond injectables and actually gone under the knife to refresh her looks.

“Her nose also looks thinner than it used to,” he told Radar. “Could it be possible that she’s had a nose job (rhinoplasty)?
“Maybe! her plastic surgeon should really stop working on her and send her to a therapist. It looks like the last thing she needs is more plastic surgery.”
