Dolly Parton, who once revealed in an interview with Howard Stern that she likes to go light on cosmetic procedures by only trying out “little bits” — fillers, Botox, and Juvederm — recently shared the cosmetic procedure she regrets getting done in a discussion with Saga magazine.
“Every now and then you’ll get a hematoma, or sometimes with fillers and Botox, you can get too much and have to wait till the swelling goes down to look normal again,” she told the news outlet. “It means that instead of being back at work in two weeks, it’s a month.”
Dolly says she is selective about the cosmetic procedures she tries, but still regrets some
The 77-year-old is always on guard when it comes to trying out a beauty enhancement product or surgery. “Only when I have to do something a little more, and even then, I try to be careful,” Dolly shared. “You’ve just got to be very careful not to overdo it because you never know, anytime you go under the knife, you could come out looking not good.”

“It’s always a risk, and every time I go in for anything, I think, ‘Oh Lord, please let this all work out fine,'” she added.
She is open about her journey
The singer does not hold back information about her cosmetic procedures, and she likes being real about it. “People always say I look happy, and I say, well, that’s the Botox,” Dolly said on The Today Show. “Good lighting, good makeup, and good doctors, that’s my secret.”
In a 2019 interview with CBS, Dolly clarified that even though she has had cosmetic surgery, she still remains a natural as she defines what ‘natural’ is to her. “It is true that I look artificial, but I believe that I’m totally real. My look is really based on a country girl’s idea of glam. I wasn’t naturally pretty, so I make the most of anything I’ve got,” Parton told the outlet. “I’m telling you, I’m not. You should have seen me this morning before I got ready to see you. I’m serious, though. I’m not a natural beauty, but I can enhance it. Whatever it takes, I do. I try to make the most of everything.”
