Dolly Parton Worries Her ‘Scary’ Cosmetic Surgeries Will Go ‘Wrong’

Refreshingly, Dolly Parton has long been open about the cosmetic surgeries she has had. The singer speaks about the tweaks she has sought out over the years. Parton has grown accustomed to getting work done, but she admitted she always feels a twinge of worry that something could go wrong. 

Dolly Parton said she always has some concerns about her cosmetic surgeries

Parton openly admits to having plastic surgery, but she once said she didn’t love that term.

“Sure I’ve had plastic surgery, but that sounds so bizarre,” she said in 2002, per the book Dolly on Dolly. “It’s really cosmetic, there’s very little plastic to it. It’s more nips and tucks, things like getting rid of bags under your eyes.”

She admitted she found these procedures frightening at first but accepted them as part of being in the public eye. Still, she always had some degree of concern beforehand.

“It’s scary when you first get it done, but I do it because I’m a show person,” she said. “You are on camera all the time and people expect you to look a certain way. If you’ve got the money, the desire, and the guts, what’s the big deal? Of course I’m scared it might go wrong, but I don’t go to extremes. I don’t have the top of my head took off to pull anything up.”

She assured fans that while she’d had work done, she wasn’t “made of plastic.”
