We’re all familiar with the celebrities who maybe should have said no to plastic surgery. We love you, Mickey Rourke, but maybe it’s time to focus on finding more challenging movie roles and lay off the scalpels. And Meg Ryan, unless you’re in line to play the Joker in the next Batman movie, then please stop letting surgeons do things to your face. But for many celebrities, plastic surgery can actually be a good idea.
It’s rarely a case of some deformed weirdo going into surgery and coming out a bombshell. Usually, it’s just a “beautiful person” becoming a “slightly more beautiful person.” But it does demonstrate that there are some plastic surgeons in Hollywood who know what they are doing, or at least some celebrities who know that everything is better in moderation.

Megan Fox
Procedures: Nose job, face fillers, and lip filler
Though she hasn’t spoken publicly about it, it appears that Fox got a nose job that made her nose a bit narrower, filled out her bottom lip a bit, and perhaps some face fillers. You wouldn't think someone so young would need plastic surgery, but it seems to have helped her career, until she was canned by Michael Bay for admitting the Transformers movies were crap.
They appear to have patched things up, as she was picked to play April in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. Even though the movie was... well, let's just say not for us, we're glad she was in it, if only because it gave us an excuse to interview her, and find out What Megan Fox Looks For in a Man.

Jennifer Aniston
Procedures: Nose job
It's long been believed that Jennifer Aniston had a nose job (or two), though she's always been coy about giving a straight answer when asked about it. She has admitted to nasal surgery, but claimed it was for a deviated septum.
Judging from early pictures, it’s pretty obvious that her nose is substantially smaller than it used to be. So we’re guessing that the deviated septum thing is true, but before going under the knife, she asked the doctor to take a little off the top as well.

Patricia Heaton
Procedures: Tummy tuck and breast reduction
The Everybody Loves Raymond star is one of very few celebrities who's been totally honest about her plastic surgery. After giving birth to four boys, Heaton got a tummy tuck to remove some fat and stretch marks, and a breast reduction to reshape her breasts.

Christian Bale
Procedure: Veneers
Christian Bale has admitted that prior to American Psycho, he got his teeth fixed so that they would appear more “American.” Though he later stated that he regretted it and missed his old smile, which is a very strange thing to say about British teeth. Bale's portrayal of Batman has been widely loved with just one criticism overall: his voice. Which makes us wonder, could his dental work be to blame for Batman's gruff voice?
It’s not just Bale, of course. The British in general are a little confused by dental hygiene, as proven by this recent study from the British Dental Journal that claims they have no idea about The Best Way to Brush Your Teeth.

Bristol Palin
Procedures: Jaw surgery
Bristol Palin, who's recent headlines include a stint on Dancing with the Stars and an all-out melee in a bar in Anchorage, admitted to having surgery, but stated that it was jaw surgery to realign her teeth, and not cosmetic. We're guessing that she may be stretching the truth a little, like that time her mother said she qualified to be a heartbeat away from becoming our next President.

Scarlett Johansson
Procedure: Nose job
Though she's denied having any work done, it seems pretty clear from pictures of young Scarlett that she's had a nose job at some point. Her nose looks a good deal slimmer these days, which has helped her attain some of Hollywood's hottest roles, including the sexy Black Widow in the Marvel movies.
But come on, who are we kidding? With beauty and talent like hers, she could have Jimmy Durante's nose, and she'd still have been in the top twenty of our Hottest Women of 2014 list.)

Dwayne Johnson
Procedure: Breast reduction
During the early days of his transition from wrestling to acting, Dwayne Johnson received surgery to reduce the size of his pecs, perhaps because his early roles seemed to have more cleavage than Dolly Parton. Since then, his acting career has taken off, so getting surgery was clearly good judgment. Or at least better judgment than an out-of-shape journalist mocking a man who is about 300 lbs of pure muscle, which he attained courtesy of The Rock's Workout.
