Nip and Tuck: Celebrity Plastic Surgery

From Iggy to Lil' Kim, stars who have gone under the knife.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery - Who can blame celebrities for getting plastic surgery? If we were faced with the constant scrutiny of Twitter and TMZ, we might be tempted to nip a little here and tuck a little there as well. But while some stars keep their enhancements very subtle — hello, Jennifer Lopez! — some are far more obvious with their work. From K. Michelle's new bod to Lil Kim's...everything, here are some of the most obvious examples of celebrity plastic surgery.(Photos from left: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Yeezy Season 3, Prince Williams/WireImage)

K. Michelle - K. Michelle is not ashamed of her enhancements.  She got booty implants but felt like they were "too much" then downgraded to a smaller version. Either way, we love K. Michelle at any size and what she doesn't need are any enhancements on her incredible voice! (Photos from left: Tristan Fewings/Getty Images, Prince Williams/WireImage)

Countess Vaughn - Countess Vaughn is looking better than ever after dropping three dress sizes, and she's not shy about giving credit to liposuction for her slim-down. "I've always been honest about everything," the reality star, 37, says. "I wanted to do a mommy makeover. I had done it after my oldest child. I really needed to just treat myself, and I'm happy about it!" The Hollywood Divas star also exercises portion control to help shed the pounds: now, she says, she indulges in one piece of fried chicken, and not three.(Photos from left: Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic, Countess Vaughn via Instagram)

Iggy Azalea - Much has been said and written about Iggy's booty, but at the Billboard Music Awards, it was her newly-streamlined face that nobody could take their eyes off of. It's pretty obvious that the Aussie pop star got a nose job and a chin implant, just months after she admitted to getting breast implants. Hey, whatever makes her feel good. At least she's not trying to convince us her new look is a result of clever contouring.  (Photos from left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images, Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)

Tamar Braxton - The singer and talk show host is a proponent of plastic surgery ("I believe in anything you have to do to make yourself feel good," she has said), but has been coy about admitting to her own surgical enhancements. Braxton did cop to having a nose job, but said it was to relieve breathing problems and not to improve her looks. Regardless of the reason, the new mom looks like a million bucks.
