Reality Check: Lipo Won't Make You Look Like Jennifer Aniston

It's not uncommon for women to be unhappy with a part of their appearance — a wide nose, a saggy belly, or lumpy tush. Some women learn to embrace their imperfections, while others opt for plastic surgery.

In her new memoir, Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin, the actress, 48, shows a photo of her botched liposuction. She decided to post the picture "because I wanted women to know when you get liposuction, trying to be Jennifer Aniston, this is what it really looks like."

Kathy got her first nose job at 26 and has spent years trying to change her appearance. She said, "I was on a television show and thought that I could be thinner and better and happier." But says she never felt that urge before, when she was a bank teller; her insecurities about how she looks stem from the pressures of being on TV. Although she felt it would make her happy, she wasn't the only one thinking she should get work done. Agents and casting directors advised Kathy to go under the knife too. The comedian isn't sure when it will end because, she admits, "I am always going to want to be Jennifer Aniston."
