Why is it important for celebrities to be honest about their plastic surgeries?
Experts previously told USA TODAY that while there's nothing wrong with having plastic surgery, it's essential for celebrities to be transparent about the procedures they've undergone so as not to create unrealistic expectations.
danielle barrett, “A lot of celebrities look good naturally, but a lot of them also have had work done,” a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills told USA TODAY in 2021. And when they're not honest about it, I think they're behaving unethically because they're in the spotlight.
“They benefit from being a celebrity and have a moral obligation to be transparent about anything they did that helped them achieve a certain look.”

Admitting cosmetic work “requires a certain level of vulnerability,” she added.
“It's a brave thing to do that can help others,” she said.
