50-Year-Old's Before-and-After Facelift Pics Have TikTok in Disbelief
A 50-year-old TikToker's plastic surgery procedure is raising eyebrows—and not just hers.
Michelle Wood started documenting her journey under the knife in early June, sharing on TikTok that she was seeking a facelift, a forehead lift, a lip lift, a neck lift and a small chin implant at a clinic in Guadalajara, Mexico, to "look more refreshed."
"I just want to look I slept for 30 years," she said in a June 5 video. "I've lost 130 pounds twice in my life and I think it's just done a number on my skin, particular my neck."
And after the procedures and subsequent weeks spent healing, Michelle shook the social media platform with her operation's youthful-looking results. As one user put it, "This is the wildest transformation I’ve everrrr seen."
"You look like a young Amanda Bynes," another TikToker commented on her page, while a third remarked, "You look like a completely new person! I’m amazed at your before and after."
Even Michelle thought she looked like a completely different person after plastic surgery.
"I still don't recognize myself," she shared in a June 22 video. "I think a part of that has to do with how I've never looked like this. Even when I was in my 20s, I didn't look like this because I was always very, very obese."
According to the mom of two, the entire cosmetic procedure cost her 270,000 pesos—or approximately $14,227 in the United States. Michelle said she also spent around $1,000 U.S. for a 10-day stay at a recovery facility, which included food, around-the-clock nursing as well as transportation to and from her follow-up appointments.
"$15,000 is about what I think I spent in total," she said in a June 23 video. "Very, very reasonable."
And while Michelle is still dealing with some swelling around her face, she's overall thrilled with her makeover.
"I've always had really hooded eyes and I can actually see an eyelid at this point," she quipped in another TikTok posted on the same day. "I have one, who knew? I have a lip at this point as well."
Michelle added, "I don't look like what I did when I was younger, but that's not necessarily a bad thing."
For celebrities who've been open about their own plastic surgery procedures, read on.
The Shark Tank star shared a laundry list of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures she's undergone over the years on Instagram on June 4, 2025.
The Watch What Happens Live host, who had been open through the years about never getting Botox, revealed in March 2025 that he had embarked on his cosmetic journey and finally got the injectable procedure, which aims to reduce wrinkles.
"I just got it for the first time in my life," he said during the season 11 reunion episode of Married to Medicine. "About a month ago. They gave me a little."
After years of denying cosmetic procedures, the lifestyle expert recently confessed in a February 2024 episode of her eponymous podcast that she gets Botox, fillers and lasers to tighten her skin. "I don't think a lot about age," she explained, "but I don't want to look my age."
The One Tree Hill alum discussed her cosmetic procedures—including Botox and getting breast implants—on her Whine Down podcast in February 2024. During the episode, she confessed the biggest regret she has about her boob job.

A month later, she spoke candidly about her struggles with her body.
"I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny," she said on Instagram. "I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job, or like a boob job is OK. But to go through this to be skinny is mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it."

The Real Housewives of Dubai star publicly documented her November 2023 face lift and the recovery on social media.
"I wanted people to see how, when you come out, the scars and the cuts and what it really looks like," she exclusively told E! News of the procedure. "I literally looked like I'd been in a car crash and the car had won, but five days later you're presentable. Ten days later I was in a restaurant completely fine."
As for why the Bravo star was so open about her face lift journey? As she noted, "Being on a reality TV show, obviously it's going to look weird if I come back next season looking 10 years younger, which I do, obviously."
The singer has said she has gotten Botox.
The former Bravo star has been candid about her plastic surgery procedures in the past, including getting a nose job, having breast implants and dabbling with Botox and filler. And now, she's turned to CellSound's body sculpting treatment to tighten her stomach.
"I have actual abs," she told People in an interview published March 2024. "I have lines on my stomach that I haven't had since before I got pregnant. I think any mother knows after kids the elasticity of your skin will never be the same."
Responding to an Instagram user who accused the Vanderpump Rules star of getting lip filler, Botox, jawline contouring with liposuction and eyelid surgery, Madix clapped back by confirming all of her past cosmetic procedures.

The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the new Bravo series.
"I had work done on my double chin. We call it the turkey gobbler, runs in my family," she said on the March 2024 episode of her When Reality Hits podcast. "No matter what I was going through, no matter how much weight I lost, I still felt I had something there."
Following her breakup from Stranger Things' David Harbour, the "Smile" singer revealed she got "additions" in the way of a boob job.

"I've never had any work-work done, but I went through a phase when I was smoking pot when I was really obsessed with getting facial injections," the "Born This Way" singer told radio host Howard Stern in 2013. "I was going to this strip mall in Chicago in the back…Everybody was like, 'You are a nut job.'...I'm telling you, I wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind, and I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, 'Oh, let's go see my girl' and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvéderm, and then leave."
She continued, "Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the 'Applause' video, [a photographer friend] was like, 'Gaga, I love you but if you don't stop injecting s--t in your face I'm going to just kill you.'"

"And after I had it done, the ball did roll for me," she said. "And I wondered, did I give in to the man?"
She added, "I have to live with every decision that I've made. And it got me to where we are today. And I'm not going to look back."
"I've done it all," the actress told The Telegraph in 2002. "I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it."
"I had [a deviated septum] fixed–best thing I ever did," the actress told People in 2007. "I slept like a baby for the first time in years. As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it. Still mine."

"I'm very comfortable and confident in myself," she told People. "I just wanted a tune up."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star had her lips injected with silicone at age 24. In 2010, she had some of the filler removed.
"I find it so interesting that it's become such a big thing because I can't tell you how many girls have done their lips. I feel like I'm a pioneer," she said on Today in 2013. "I was one of the first ones to ever do it and be honest about it."She also said, "I would do it again. I never had a career before I had the lips so my lips have had their own career!"
In 2009, at just 23 years old, the Hills star underwent a head-to-toe transformation, having 10 cosmetic procedures done in one day. In addition to Botox, chin reductions and a nose job, the reality star also got fat injections in her lips.

In her 2018 memoir Perfect Is Boring, the supermodel revealed she went under the knife early in her career. "I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching," she wrote in her book. "I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose."
"I really, genuinely care about looking good," the SKKN founder told Allure for its August 2022 issue. "I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It's not easy when you're a mom and you're exhausted at the end of the day or you're in school, and I'm all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone's in bed, I'm doing laser treatments."
Kim revealed she's also gotten "a little bit of Botox," but hasn't dabbled with filler on her lips or cheeks, revealing, "No filler. Never filled either one, ever."
During an Instagram Stories Q&A on August 2022, the reality TV star didn't shy away from answering a fan's question about her boobs. "Gonna keep it real with y'all," Kristin began her response. "Got a lift after breast feeding all 3 kids."
While The Hills alum isn't opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she's "never done" Botox.
"It's not for me. But I've seen it look amazing on some people," she wrote. "My concern is that we don't know the long term effects of it (and I don't mean 5-10 years, I mean like 20 years) and I think your face is muscle, so we need to work it out the same way we would any other muscle."
