It is a grim fact of life that celebrities rely heavily on looks first and foremost while talent comes in at a close second. This is the reason why most bankable stars do not just look good but are often downright beautiful. However, this does not mean that they are spared from the ravages of time and age, though the public tends to forget that little fact.

As a result, it is always a surprise to see stars getting older and not at all looking a bit like they used to. No wonder some desperately resort to cosmetic surgery and other kinds of treatment to keep the effects of time at bay. Sadly, not all procedures are successful, and it’s always sad to see once-beautiful stars looking very different from how we know and remember them. Let’s see how some of our favorites have fared the test of time.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

For many, many years, Swiss-born socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein was the poster child for bad plastic surgery results. She had many surgeries to correct a botched operation, but she was obsessed with getting more work done, until she began being called ‘cat woman’ for resembling a cat, and now, she looks nothing like her younger self. Jocelyn says that she doesn’t care what other thinks of her or what animal they compare her to, as she likes the way she looks. She was last in the news in 2018, when she filed for bankruptcy.
