17 Before and After Pictures of Celebrity Jaw Surgeries

Going under the knife is still a bit of a taboo topic in Hollywood, but celebs are becoming more empowered to talk about it. And why shouldn’t they? There’s no shame in owning one’s appearance. When it comes to jaw surgeries and chin augmentations, they can be subtle or vastly tweaked, according to personal preference. These are the celebrities who have had either confirmed or rumoured work done on the bottoms of their faces. You be the judge, just remember: don’t judge.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole has admitted to using Botox in the past, but has since quit going under the needle. Her jaw, on the other hand, is tighter and her neck a little smoother, rumoured to be courtesy of a mini face-lift.

Not one to shy away from enhancements, the former Vanderpump Rules star revealed that while chin implants may look good, they aren't always easy to maintain. Stassi's altered chin can get a little numb, resulting in some potentially messy situations.

Ashlee Simpson

Simpson has famously gone under the knife for a nose job, but rumour has it she also had some tweaking down to her chin, making a big difference in the overall look of her face.

Growing up in the spotlight, the Teen Mom star had work on her nose, her chin and her breasts (twice).

Clay Aiken

The American Idol runner-up may look a little different than when he first appeared on the competition series. That's because he had had work done — both for health and cosmetic purposes. Aiken told Andy Cohen, "I had operative surgery on my jaw for a TMJ thing and I had them suck the fat out of my chin while they were in there."

Heidi Montag

The adage "less is more" didn't apply to the reality star, who opted for 10 plastic surgery operations, beginning in 2009, including brow lifts, ear-pinnings, rhinoplasty, boob jobs and a chin reduction. Unfortunately, the former reality star wasn't happy with her decision and began to regret the work she'd had done. She told Ryan Seacrest the following year that she felt "very weird about hugging people" and described her body as "very plastic fragile."

Stephanie Pratt

Unlike her sister-in-law Heidi, Stephanie has never admitted to going under the knife, but her appearance changed so much over time that rumours have swirled about a nose job, chin implant and lip fillers.

Renee Zellweger

There are some who stand by Zellweger's word that her changed appearance is due to aging and lifestyle changes. Then there are those who think the actress looks a bit touched by a needle, including her jawline, which seems to have a new fullness.

Kristin Chenoweth

Nothing confirmed, but you'll notice Kristin once had a rather pointed chin and now her jawline is wider and more squared off, which may be indicative of a chin augmentation.

Kenny Rogers

The country singer proudly talks about the work he's had done, including liposuctions to his chin and midriff. Do your thang, Kenny!

Vicki Gunvalson

Divorce didn't get the Real Housewives of Orange Country star down; she reportedly got her chin tweaked as part of an $8,000 "breakover."

Eiza Gonzalez

The Mexican actress has always been open about her nose job, but her jawline does earn a double take (although it's worth nothing that she denies the rumours).

Alexa Ray Joel

Like Gonzalez, Joel has never denied her nose job, but she calls all the other plastic surgery rumours, particularly that squared off jawline? False, she says. Joel claims it's all thanks to the magic of makeup.

Jane Fonda

Back in the day, the gorgeous screen legend had work done on her chin and neck, while also removing the bags removed from under her eyes. Fonda tried to throw people off by getting a short haircut so people would think all the changes were because of her "new hair." A joker, a class act and a stunner. A true triple-threat.

Bristol Palin

Sarah Palin's daughter debuted her new face at an afterparty for the White House Correspondents Association dinner in 2011, five months after having corrective jaw surgery that she explains was "necessary for medical reasons... so my jaw and teeth could properly realign." She admitted to Us Weekly, though, that it "improved" the way she looks and she no longer obsesses over her face.
