Drew Barrymore Opens Up About Her Shocking Plastic Surgery Decision at 17

Drew Barrymore is reflecting on going under the knife.

In a recent appearance on her talk show, the star from 50 First Dates spoke about the breast reduction surgery she had as a teenager, which she mentioned in relation to discussions on breast cancer screenings.

While discussing breast cancer with the OBGYN Dr. Kameelah Phillips, Drew, aged 50, inquired about a medical procedure she underwent when she was only 17 years old.

Drew wondered, ‘If I’ve had reductions, what about those who have undergone implants or enhancements? How do modifications to our physical selves factor into this overall process?’

Phillips underlined the significance of additional imaging techniques, such as ultrasounds, alongside regular mammograms, especially for individuals who have undergone cosmetic breast procedures. In response, Drew explained, “I always opt for both, a mammogram and an ultrasound.

She added, “I also know how fortunate and privileged that is.”

And Drew has detailed her previous decision to get her breasts resized.

In an interview with the New York Daily News back in 1998, six years post-reduction, Drew expressed her deep affection for her body as it currently is. She also shared a thought that she found it a bit strange how society often focuses on women’s breasts given men’s frequent gazing at them.

Besides challenging the traditional male perspective, the actress from The Wedding Singer openly shared that reducing her size made her feel more at ease and confident within herself.

She remarked that when something is particularly large, it makes one quite aware of themselves. The burden on your back increases, and whatever clothing you put on seems to accentuate a heavier appearance. It becomes an unpleasant experience.

As a devoted admirer of Drew, I can assure you that she’s not the type to alter her physical appearance cosmetically just for the sake of it. In fact, the star from Scream has openly shared her reasons for steering clear of plastic surgery in the past.

In 2023, Drew told People that she hasn’t taken any steps in that direction and plans to keep it that way for as long as possible, since her experience with plastic surgery is quite limited due to her concern about going too far. She expressed no criticism towards anyone making different choices, but she personally doesn’t envision herself opting for it.

She jokingly added, “I look forward to seeing what I look like as a leather bag in the future!”

During this episode, she expressed her deepest remorse regarding her decision about her breast implants.

As I reflect on my decision, I can’t help but wonder if my choice to undergo this procedure was entirely driven by my own desires. My earnest recommendation? Make sure it’s unequivocally for your own happiness and fulfillment.

Four years past, I chose to part ways with fillers in diverse spots and Botox, marking my decision to embrace a more natural appearance. That’s as far as I’ve gone in alterations.

However, five days later, I was presentable again. By the tenth day, I was dining out comfortably.

What led Bravo star to be so candid about her facelift experience? She explained that given her role in a reality TV series, it would appear strange if she returned for the next season looking significantly younger than before.

The singer has said she has gotten Botox.

Previously on Bravo, this celebrity has been open about undergoing various cosmetic surgeries such as a nose job, breast augmentation, and experimenting with Botox and fillers. Now, she’s opted for CellSound’s contouring treatment to firm up her abdomen.

She shared with People magazine in an interview published on March 21st that she indeed has visible abdominal muscles. She explained, “I have lines on my stomach that haven’t been there since before I became pregnant. I think any mother can attest to the fact that your skin’s elasticity never fully returns after having children.

In response to a user’s accusation that the Vanderpump Rules star had undergone various cosmetic treatments such as lip fillers, Botox, jawline contouring with liposuction, and eyelid surgery, Madix openly acknowledged all her past aesthetic enhancements.

She shared on Instagram in July 2024: “Here’s what I’ve had done!”

Toxin (Botox) injections in her forehead and neck, a neck lift procedure performed by @theneckdoctor in 2019, minimal lip filler due to the small size of her face, and filler in her chin. She emphasized that she has not had any filler anywhere else on her face and no eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) yet. She also mentioned that she would update everyone if she decides to have anything else done.

Jill admitted in her June 4 Instagram video, with a bandage covering her head, that she underwent a lower facelift and a few minor adjustments. She also got a fat transfer to enhance her hands because she wasn’t satisfied with their appearance. The most painful part of the procedure for her was the liposuction taken from her leg to augment her hands. Incredibly, she claimed that was the most pain she’s ever experienced.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken publicly about her nose job and her breast implants.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts when the talk show host opened up about her experiences with Ozempic for weight loss. But let me tell you, it was nothing compared to how she felt about her 2021 facelift. In December 2023, she confessed that getting that procedure was the biggest mistake of her life! She put it straight: “I looked like Cyclops.” Quite a transformation, if I may say so myself.

As a lifestyle advisor, I can share that while I haven’t ventured into cosmetic procedures myself, there was a time in my past when I found myself deeply intrigued by facial injections. This fascination unfolded during a period where I was heavily into recreational marijuana use. In 2013, I confessed this unique phase to radio host Howard Stern, describing how I would visit a strip mall in Chicago for these treatments. People around me thought I was quite unconventional, but there I was, under the influence of pot and alcohol, driving to this strip mall regularly to get injected with various substances like Juvéderm. My judgment wasn’t exactly clear during that time, but it’s an experience I can’t help but look back on.

She went on to say, “Everything has been cleared out now. Just before I made the ‘Applause’ video, a friend who is a photographer expressed concern to me by saying, ‘Lady Gaga, I admire you deeply, but if you don’t cease injecting substances into your face, I might have no choice but to end your life.’

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

She shared with Life & Style, “I now feel at ease.” She added, “If there’s anything that makes you uneasy and you can make adjustments, that’s wonderful.

Back in 2013, one of the co-hosts on The Talk disclosed during the show that she had undergone plastic surgery at the start of her career to give her eyes a more prominent appearance.

She stated, “Every choice I’ve made has shaped my life, leading us here. I won’t dwell on the past.

In an interview with The Telegraph back in 2002, the actress candidly admitted, “I’ve experimented with various cosmetic procedures such as minor facial enhancements, liposuction, and Botox injections. However, I’ve come to realize that none of these treatments have a lasting impact.

The actress shared with People magazine in 2007 that she had corrected her deviated septum, which she considers the best decision she’s ever made. She confessed to sleeping like a newborn for the first time in years. Regarding other speculations, she admitted, in a rather uninteresting but truthful manner, that they are indeed hers. It all belongs to her. Everything still remains hers.

2010 saw one of the stars from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” disclose that she underwent a rhinoplasty (nose job), a mastopexy (breast lift), and liposuction procedures.

“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”

In 2015, the reality TV personality referred to Dr. Lenny Hochstein as her “breast deity,” thanks to his work on her well-shaped breasts. It’s no secret that she’s been transparent about her other cosmetic enhancements, such as a tummy tuck and lip injections.

At the age of 24, the reality TV personality from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” got her lips enhanced with silicone. Later in 2010, she chose to have some of that filling taken out.

In an interview on ‘Today’ in 2013, she expressed her fascination with how popular lip augmentation has become, as she’s noticed numerous women opting for this procedure. She considers herself a trailblazer in this area, since she was one of the initial individuals to undergo it openly. Furthermore, she mentioned that her lips essentially paved the way for her career, as she had not previously had one before getting them done. If given another chance, she would choose to do it again.

Back in 2009, when she was only 23 years old, the famous actress from “Hills” went through a complete makeover, having as many as ten cosmetic surgeries done on the same day. This included Botox treatments, a reduction of her chin, a nose reshaping, and augmentation of her lips with fat injections, all part of the reality star’s transformation.

In the April 2015 edition of Vogue magazine, the Australian rapper openly admitted that she underwent a breast augmentation procedure four months prior, sharing her long-held desire for this change.

In her autobiography titled “Perfect Is Boring”, the model confessed that she opted for plastic surgery at an early stage of her career. She explained in her book that she had a bothersome growth in her nasal bones, which were itching and growing, despite being able to breathe normally. However, she decided to undergo cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance. To put it simply, she admitted to using fake hair extensions and getting a nose job.

In an interview with Allure for their August 2022 issue, the SKKN founder expressed a deep and sincere concern for appearance. She admitted that her level of interest might exceed that of over 90% of people globally. Balancing motherhood, school, and numerous other responsibilities can make it challenging, but even when she’s tired, she prioritizes her beauty routines, often performing treatments late at night after everyone else has gone to bed.

While The Hills alum isn’t opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she’s “never done” Botox.

She wrote: “I personally find it not suitable for me, yet I’ve noticed it suits others wonderfully. However, my worry lies in the long-term consequences of it, particularly after 20 years, as its impact on our facial muscles is still unclear.

In his recently published memoir titled “If You Had Warned Me“, John candidly discussed his insecurities regarding his appearance that prompted him to undergo two rhinoplasty procedures. He penned, “That nose of mine… it’s always been a source of discomfort.”

He further revealed about the initial surgery, “My nose looked somewhat elongated, like Peter Pan’s or something,” and later opted for a second correction by the same plastic surgeon who worked on Michael Jackson during his downtime.

The singer recently revealed she got a facelift.

She shared, during the 5th annual Daytime Beauty Awards in Los Angeles on October 1st, that she’s a well-known pop star who usually keeps her face hidden from the public. But she doesn’t mince words about the truth. In her own words, she proudly admitted to having undergone an exceptional facelift by Dr. Ben Talei. She highly recommends him, as he does outstanding work, not just for celebrities like herself but for many others as well.

The rapper shared that she underwent a breast reduction procedure recently. In an interview with Vogue for their November 9 issue, she expressed her satisfaction with the change, stating, “I once desired larger breasts, but looking back, I find that aspiration rather foolish now.
