Los Angeles - Chloe Grace Moretz was told to have some ribs removed to improve her figure.
The 19-year-old actress admitted Hollywood insiders frequently suggested she change her appearance in order to boost her chances of success.
She said: "I used to get told to change my teeth all the time, because I had a gap, and I was told that to help give me more of a waistline, they could take out some ribs.
"Also, I had some acne when I was younger so there was a lot of pressure to deal with that."
The Carrie actress - who is dating Brooklyn Beckham - admits that she begged her mother to let her have "a boob job, the fat pad beneath my chin removed and a butt reduction" when she was just 16, but she is thankful she was told no.
She told Britain's Glamour magazine: "Luckily my mum and my brothers never let me get caught up in all that...
"If I had done any of those things I wanted to back then, I wouldn't know who I am today.
"Anyway, you shouldn't be allowed to have plastic surgery before you're an adult."
