Bette Midler's keeping it real with all of us. As reported by <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/28/bette-midler-77-admits-to-getting-plastic-surgery-on-her-face/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a>, during her recent acceptance speech at this year's Costume Designers Guild Awards, the 77-year-old opened up about the cosmetic procedures she's undergone over the past few decades, revealing that she's had a bit of "tailoring" here and there. "Time has a way of smoothing everything out. I’ve been at it for close to 60 years... and I do look fabulous, I know," she joked as the crowd cheered. "I’ve had some tailoring done on my face," she added. <img class="wp-image-1263198065 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2NTH50A-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Bette Midler at the 25th Costume Designers Guild Awards at The Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

However, despite staying pretty much tight-lipped on the issue, back in 2008, the actress said she "considered" getting plastic surgery while speaking to <a href="https://extratv.com/2008/03/25/bette-midler-bares-all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Extra</a>. "Doesn't everybody consider it? When it really starts to cave in, I probably will start to give it a real good think," she said at the time, before adding: "I am really good about my regime. I am really disciplined. I don't keep strange hours and I don't drink a lot and I don't smoke." <img class="wp-image-1263198069 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2JD8903-1024x685.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="685" />[[imagecaption|| Bette Midler admitted that her ageless looks are down to a bit of "tailoring" to her face.

Many have <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/hollywoods-relationship-beauty-industry-113920/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resorted to getting cosmetic work done</a> to preserve their youth, even young stars. Supermodel <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/fans-compare-bella-hadid-to-marilyn-monroe-in-new-instagram-post">Bella Hadid</a> opened up about the procedures she underwent in her early twenties during her <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/bella-hadid-cover-april-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> cover story last year, stating that she has some regrets. "I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors," she told the outlet. "I think I would have grown into it." However, the 26-year-old who was recently announced as the new face of global beauty brand, Charlotte Tilbury, denied ever getting Botox or eye surgery. "People think I fully f***** with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right? I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. "I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me." Instead, she said, her lifted appearance is an illusion: "Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called - it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book." <img class="wp-image-1263198072 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2G7A6WB-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Bella Hadid wishes she hadn't undergone a nose job in the past.

"I had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things," Teigen told <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/05/153132/chrissy-teigen-liposuction-confession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Refinery29</a> in May 2017. "It's a big secret, but I don't care. It was nine years ago or so. And I had two inches to my armpit. Now it's back though, so now I've gotta pay for [liposuction] again. It was so easy. It made me feel better in dresses, I felt more confident. "It was the dumbest, stupidest thing I've ever done. The dumbest, but I like it, whatever. I have no regrets, honestly." <img class="wp-image-1263198073 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2J1YCCY-1024x704.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="704" />[[imagecaption|| Chrissy Teigen went as far as to have liposuction on her armpit.

"I'm glad I look good for my age, but I've had plastic surgery," she said during her 2018 Netflix documentary, Jane Fonda in Five Acts. "I'm not going to lie about that." <img class="wp-image-1263198074 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2MT1MTX-692x1024.jpg" alt="" width="692" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Jane Fonda has also been open about having had plastic surgery in the past.

"I wish I wasn't like that. I love older faces. I love lived-in faces. I loved Vanessa Redgrave's face. I wish I was braver. But I am what I am." <h6>Featured Image Credit: LOC Photo / Alamy</h6>
