Chloe Fineman is turning her cosmetic mishaps into comedy gold — sharing a hilarious “Botched” iPhone photo album that documents her red-faced, swollen-lip med spa disasters, complete with a self-aware voiceover that’s already got fans laughing and theorizing about her next beauty misstep.
Chloe Fineman, 37, has turned her cosmetic mishaps into a viral comedy goldmine — and she’s not stopping anytime soon. On Sunday, January 4, the SNL comedian posted a collection of selfies from what she called her “Botched iPhone photo album,” each one capturing her in the aftermath of a med spa treatment gone hilariously wrong. Swollen lips, red-faced selfies, and a bed-bound recovery session were all part of the show — and Fineman turned it into a self-deprecating, laugh-out-loud narrative.
“Every year, hundreds of women will say they’re going on a trip or visiting family in Connecticut. But really, they’ll be going ham at a med spa doing crazy s— like laser stuff, salmon j—, sculptra plaster or whatever the hell this was,” Fineman quipped in a voiceover as her selfies flashed across the screen. “These women will hide themselves away in caves like bears while taking hundreds of selfies like this they’ll send to friends and family who will lie and say, ‘It’s not that bad.’”
Her post quickly became a social media sensation, with fans and fellow comedians chiming in with hilarious reactions. Comedian Annie Sertich recalled a moment when Fineman sent her a selfie and asked, “Do you think I can still perform tonight at The Groundlings? It’s not that bad.” Keke Palmer joked, “I feel so seen,” while adding, “You always looked good but I do feel you became like 17 real quick. DM me the deets.”
Fineman has long been candid about her love for beauty and style — and her willingness to experiment, even when it goes wrong. In April 2024, speaking to Into The Gloss, she joked that she’s at “peak med spa mistake age,” though she’s also worked with professionals whose treatments she’s loved. “It all turned dark during COVID,” she said. “When they lifted enough restrictions in L.A., I was like ‘This is the time to get Botox, because no one will see me for probably six months.’ But then I couldn’t lift my forehead until right when we came back to work — and for comedy and acting, you want to be able to move your face.”
Her med spa misadventures have become legendary — from accidentally booking a Fraxel laser treatment before her first Met Gala (“and then next thing I knew I couldn’t leave the house for seven days”), to a lip treatment that left her with “swollen and way out there” results. “Every six months, I feel like I tell [my makeup artist] Marc Reagan, ‘Sorry, I made a mistake. Whoops,’” she said with a laugh.
What makes Fineman’s post so relatable is her ability to turn a personal, often embarrassing experience into a shared moment of humor. She doesn’t just show her “botched” selfies — she narrates them with the same self-awareness and wit that fans have come to expect from her stand-up and sketch comedy. It’s a reminder that even in the world of cosmetic enhancements, the most memorable moments are often the ones that go wrong — and that’s exactly what Fineman is embracing.
For fans, this post is more than just a laugh — it’s a cultural moment. Fineman’s willingness to be vulnerable and funny about her beauty journey has created a new kind of celebrity content: one that’s not about perfection, but about the messy, hilarious, human experience of trying to look good while navigating the ever-changing world of beauty trends and med spas.
“I pledge to stop the cycle,” she joked in her post — only to immediately add, “Just kidding, I’m going Friday.”
Whether she’s joking about her “botched” treatments or her next beauty adventure, Fineman’s humor and honesty are what make her one of the most beloved voices in comedy — and her Instagram album is proof that even the most awkward moments can be turned into something beautiful — if you’re brave enough to share them.
