Fox has been open about her perspectives on plastic surgery. She particularly highlighted her cautious approach due to a deep fear of general anesthesia. She has shared that the fear of dying under anesthesia has significantly influenced her decisions about surgery. This fear, she considers a "saving grace," has prevented her from undergoing many surgeries. She believes many surgeries might have drastically altered her appearance over the years.

When Fox underwent breast augmentation, she requested the largest implants possible. She explained this choice as a way to make the ordeal worth it.

Fox clarified that despite accusations of having multiple rhinoplasties, she has only one. This surgery was done in her early 20s. She humorously noted that it would be impossible to have as many as eight nose jobs without risking necrosis. She quipped that if she had had more surgeries, her nose would likely "fall off."
