Stars Who Regret Their Cosmetic Procedures and Prove That Beauty Isn’t Always Pretty

Jessica Simpson learned the hard way that beauty isn’t worth risking your life. At 35, she decided to get a partial tummy tuck—against her doctor’s advice—and it nearly ended in tragedy. What was supposed to be a confidence boost turned into a nightmare of infections and emergency care.

She later revealed she developed colitis and vomited so much she thought she’d tear her sutures. The experience left her shaken and full of regret. These days, the mom of three is firmly against cosmetic surgery—and grateful just to be healthy.
