Oh No! Hollywood Lips Explode In Size!
There’s a backlash brewing against balloon bosoms and frozen botox foreheads, but lip inflation is claiming new Hollywood victims every week.
Just take a look at the freshly volumized pouts of Megan Fox and Liz Hurley, both stars not even known for thin lips. Megan had a pair of Hollywood’s most sexy and envied natural lips until she was photographed on April 17th with a new enormous upper lip that is so large she’s now lost her signature bow shape.
When Liz Hurley first gained fame on the arm of boyfriend Hugh Grant, she was eye arrestingly pretty with lips that were slightly on the thin side. Now, in new photos from April 27th, both her upper and lower lips are freshly engorged!
Other recent infamous victims of superlarge lip engorgement — Nicole Kidman, Christina Aguilera, Meg Ryan, Melanie Griffith, Priscilla Presley and Lisa Rinna, who have given up their naturally attractive kissers, in exchange for lips that are seen in nature only on underwater species.
I spoke to top plastic surgeons who agreed that the Hollywood lip inflation frenzy is nowhere near over.
“The majority of Hollywood actresses have had augmentations to their lips,” says Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard Fleming who points out that most actresses actually DON’T go for all- out giganto lips, preferring more subtle inflationary measures. “The young ones ask for larger Angelina Jolie-style lips, and the older actresses in their 30′s and 40′s — want to maintain their lips because they’re naturally losing volume,” he explains.
Now what’s fascinating according to these docs is that when it comes to hugely engorged pouts, most of their non-celeb patients want bigger, sexier but NOT excessive enlargement.
“The public has caught on, but not Hollywood ,” says NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Pearlman.
Now here’s where Hollywooders go crazy wrong. In normal human nature, the lower lip should be 1 1/2 to 2 times the size of the upper lip, explains Dr. Pearlman. “And in classic Hollywood beauties like Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Carol Lombard, the top lip has an exquisite bow shape.”
However, in this new super-large lip world — Dr. Pearlman says it’s amazing how many actresses have obliterated their naturally beautiful delicate bows and now have upper lips that are equal or even larger than their bottom lips! Hello, trout pouts. Yes, that’s exactly what oversized top lips create.
So ladies, in this case, bigger is NOT better! Honestly Megan, Liz, Nicole Kidman, Meg Ryan, Christina Aguilera, and Priscilla — you were absolutely adorable before you got into lip OVERLOAD!
What a difference from former Hollywood eras when the legendary leading lady Clara Bow‘s petite pout, was the most desired in the world. Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh… The greatest beauties that ever lived — had thinnish upper lips featuring a bow shape that lip engorgement would have destroyed.
Who’s to blame? “Celebrity doctors who don’t say no,” believes plastic surgeon Dr. Steve Fallek. “When you have insecurity combined with physicians who don’t want to say no – it equals BAD results!”
I’d say so. Hollywood leading ladies — it’s time to throw away your lip fillers — are you listening?

It’s become a ridiculous fad among people who don’t have enough places to spend their money. It’s too bad, not everyone in the world judge the world by B.J. close ups in porn. That is where this came from isn’t it? There were all beautiful women who became jokes after this obvious surgery. Who do they think they’re fooling?

A combination of Drugs and Alcohol and a trashy party animal lifestyle is the downfall of any star.

This is a great article, plastic surgeons with a integrity stay close to the compass and dimensions that they are taught emmulate classic beauty. Its all in the actual numbers and mathmatical angles. Todays Hollywood knows nothing about classic features and probably wont untill some poor ass girl comes along and is lauded for her classic features, then everyone will come out of the walls wanting to be like “her”.

As Bonnie points out in the article, they’re all chasing Angelina Jolie–she’s a stunner and gets so much press attention after all (with and without Brad and the kiddies)–but the enduring irony is that Angelina’s kisser appears to be naturally full. If you look at photos of her mouth you’ll notice the lovely bow line of her upper lip and its (natural) smaller size in relation to her fuller lower lip. I suspect Megan took all the chat about being the “new Angelina” too seriously!

Angelina’s mouth IS natural…look at pictures of her when she was three and when she was 11 or 12. Her mouth is the SAME as it is now. Lisa Rinna ruined her face…she had a great mouth before, now she looks ugly!

Megan is looking a little “Lindsay Lohan-y” if you ask me. I prefer all the “before” pics. Terrible trend.

Megan looks great now even with the enhancements. And to date that includes a nose job, boob job, lip injections, plus she lost weight and grew out and filled in her eyebrows differently. She looked great before but she still looks great now. And she’s healthy, not demented like Lindsay so excuse you.

Megan’s lips do look ridiculous, but what’s up with her face in general? She looks bloated, and it’s not just the angle of the camera.

People fluctuate in their weight and some people gain it in their faces. My first impression of that picture was that she was eating something and smiling/talking. Who cares? Even on her worst day, she’ll look better than anyone here.

some of these jobs are fine- most of the older women’s. (not lisa rihnna, but when you look at her young lips, they didn’t ahve a nice shape either- so it’s not so much that she ruined what she had, but yes, definitely went overboard). but, heidi montag’s mom really nailed it on the head. these girls take away their youthful glow and naturalness with all of this sh!t. it ages them. i have no problem with small jobs, especially on older women- but look at meghan’s before picture! her lips were absolutely gorgeous and literally a gift of perfection from god. with the curve and shape, you just don’t see that anymore. such a shame that she ruined it. sure, she’s still a beauty, but she’s not what she used to be… she should’ve waited until they were losing their luster to touch them. sad. she literally would have passed for a porcelain doll, before, her face was so perfect. now, it’s attractive, but grotesque, too.

I totally agree; these doll-women lose their unique features when they all go for silicone bags too big for their frame or the dreaded trout pout. NO ONE in the real world thinks this look is remotely attractive except on women of color who have NATURAL large, beautiful lips. I am not an opponite of cosmetic surgery; I had a face and neck correction done after a huge weight loss, but what I call “decorative” surgery is just awful. Lisa Rhinna is scary; look at photos when she was a teen, she was a doll! Now, I can’t stand to look at her; even she says she regrets having all that face work done but I don’t see her doing anything to reverse it. Please, actresses, you became famous because of your talent and fresh look, please stop screwing around with the beautiful gifts you were born with. (Jessica Alba-this means you,too. NO MORE blonde hair!)
