Women who have lips enlarged

[CathyA]

I've been seeing a few actresses who have ridiculously large upper lips which have obviously been surgically enlarged. I don't understand this. Its not even attractive. Why do women have this done, when it looks just plain silly?

In the UK, we refer to these deluded women (mostly actresses or chavs) as having a 'trout pout'.

bad celebrity lips. What gives eh?

[loosechickens]

I think this is SO ugly.......around here, we call 'em "labia lips", which, I am sure, is what you're supposed to be thinking of, subliminally.........

ugly, ugly, ugly.....some are almost deformed.

So here's my question: are these deformities permanent? I thought that botox goes away. Are these lip surgeries something different than shootin' them full o' botox, stuff that dissipates over time?

I can't help but think of the "look" of the late 60's & early 70's which was beautiful delicate blond WASPY women with pale skin and straight shiney blond hair and thin lips: Michelle Phillips for one characterized that. Brittany Murphy and Meg Ryan would have been perfect 60's princesses. I think even Michelle Pfeiffer had her lips done in some film, don't know for sure. What a bad idea when you are the most beautiful woman on the planet. Nicole Kidman's face distracted many viewers in Rabbit Hole but actually, it didn't bother me.

Now it's so weird to see that same natural "look" bowdlerized into something faux ethnic. Why can't WASPY girls be WASPY and ethnic girls be ethnic? There are Michael JAckson and his sisters snipping and trimming to reduce volume, while the WASP girls add volume.

It is all so stupid.

I just have no clue why women have this done. I don't think I'd go out in public with some of these lips............let alone be an actress.
I thought it was permanent, but maybe its not. Don't know much about it except its UGLY!

Lip injections and Botox treatments do not last longer than a few months and have to be re-done semi-annually to keep the effects.
Lip augmentation uses a permanent filler that does not get absorbed and is therefore stuck on your face for all time.
It looks like an addiction problem.

ah, thanks for that info. So it sounds as though some of those poor chicks have permanently puffed lips. I am very disappointed in Meggy Ryan, she's so cute, but there are recent photos of her as a bag of bones with trout lips. God just gain 10 lbs and ditch the lips and be beautiful!

I don't fancy anything artificial or superficial. Keep it natural is my adage. Lip enlargement/augmentation, totally ugly! Freakishly ugly!
