Saturday night live‘s Chloe Fineman got real about the sometimes brutal consequences of cosmetic procedures.
Fineman, 37, did Instagram on Sunday, January 4, to share a tongue-in-cheek video that captured the results of past medical spa treatments. A series of throwback photographs showed the comedian’s face marred by puffy features, red, scaly skin, bruises and other injuries evidently inflicted in the name of beauty.
“Can we normalize having a ‘failed’ iPhone photo album?” he joked in the post’s caption as the video itself expanded on his experiences. “Every year, hundreds of women say they’re going to travel or visit family in Connecticut,” Fineman said at the top of her clip. “But really, they’re going to go to a medical spa doing crazy shit like laser, salmon, sculpting plaster or whatever.”
Fineman’s narration continued: “These women will hide in caves like bears while taking hundreds of selfies like this that they will send to friends and family who will lie and say, ‘It’s not that bad.’ This year I’m committing to stopping the cycle. Just kidding, I’m going on Friday.”
It’s often thought that celebrities who have undergone plastic surgery will do everything they can to hide their secret, but stars from Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to Courteney Cox have been open about their experiences under the knife.

Fineman has shared her love of all things beauty with fans via social media in the past, posting a video of her abundant skin care collection via Instagram in April. “This hoarding of goos. Like, what am I, a witch? Doing little spells with all these potions?” she joked at the time. “It’s crazy. I have, like, seven face oils. I don’t know which one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
At that point she concluded that her skin care hobby had reached the point of obsession. “I know there are seasons and things change and this is probably not relatable, but, like, this is crazy and I need help. I need skin intervention,” Fineman said in the clip.
Fineman’s adoration for aesthetics also extends to fashion, as the New Yorker explains Us Weekly in September that debuted clothing line with cult label MOTHER, the Chloe Fineman x MOTHER capsule was partly inspired by her addiction to vintage denim. “I have almost as many jeans as wigs,” she said we at that time. “In the hundreds, some in my apartment, some in storage. I think I have some jeans in the oven (where she also keeps her wigs).”
Fineman gave fans a glimpse of his luxurious West Village, Manhattan, apartment in May, allowing real estate influencer Caleb Simpson at his home to film a TikTok tour of space. Revealing that he was paying a monthly rent of $5,500, Fineman shed light on the property’s small imperfections. “Strategically, I’m like, “It’s sinking in. You can’t raise my rent,” Simpson joked in the video.
