The pressure is real for celebrities to keep up with the pre-set beauty standards and maintain them to fit in. We, human beings, do not have the perfect body that is ideal through every phase of our lives.

Celebrities have not always been transparent about the procedures they have gone through with needles or knives. Here are a few celebrities who admitted to plastic surgery.
