Meghan Trainor didn’t hold back when describing her cosmetic journey, calling it the “most painful thing” she’s ever experienced. But, she added, “the movement is coming back” to her face (per PEOPLE).

During the December 12, 2024, episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, the Grammy winner opened up about her experience with a Botox lip flip.

“I got what’s called a lip flip,” she told co-host Jenna Bush Hager. “It was my first ever. And everyone was like, ‘You’re gonna love it, you little lips.’ And I didn’t love it because I couldn’t smile and I was like [makes frozen face].”

On the November 20 episode of her Workin’ on It podcast, Trainor, 31, admitted she had “got too much Botox and I need help."
She confessed to using Botox on her forehead and receiving filler above her lip due to insecurity. “Someone convinced me with my little lips that if you did a lip flip, you put filler right above your upper lip, that you could have a beautiful flip,” she recalled.

“And I could have one for the first time in my whole 30 years of living it was not true.”

“I cannot smile anymore,” Trainor said, before teasing fans with another big reveal: “Here’s another clickbait move I’m trying to make: I’m getting a boob job.”

“I just got a little bit in my lips because they were getting really crusty on the inside. I never go more than 0.5 at a time... Because I never want to look crazy,” said the 40-year-old Love Island USA host.

After fans speculated about changes to her appearance, the Vanderpump Rules alum responded with a post listing all the work she’s had done: “I’ll tell you what I’ve had! tox in 11’s, outer brow, and my neck. ellevate for my neck in 2019 by @theneckdoctor. minimal lip filler bc my face is too small to handle very much and filler in my chin.”

She added, “absolutely no filler anywhere else and def no bleph yet. Hope this helps! I’ll keep y’all posted if I do anything else.”

TikToker Jazzmyn Wollfe documented her decision to dissolve lip filler that had gradually migrated from her top lip (per PEOPLE).

“I haven't gotten filler in 2 or 3 years and while they've gone down so much, I still notice migration on my top lip and I really hate it,” the Canadian singer-songwriter told her followers. “So I'm going to go get that dissolved."

Her admissions followed speculation from London-based Dr. Jonny Betteridge, who posted a video analyzing what he called a cosmetic “transformation."

He suggested the reality star may have had lip filler, a face and neck lift, a chin implant, and a temporal brow lift.

She added, “It was like, 'Get in the chair, let's go.'”

Aesthetic nurse Brooke Carrero went viral on TikTok for revealing the unexpected side effects of her own lip flip treatment. In a clip, she joked, “You can't blow out a candle, which means you can't blow anything. Use your imagination there.”

In an interview with PEOPLE, Carrero explained how getting the procedure herself helped her connect with patients, but it also had some unexpected personal consequences.

“My skill set probably went from a 10 down to a six,” she said. Still, she noted, “I feel like I've gotten used to the way that my mouth kind of moves.”

Kaitlyn Bristowe opened up on the Off The Vine podcast about her experience with cosmetic enhancements, including the trendy Botox lip flip.

As noted by Medium, the Bachelorette alum held a fan Q&A where she confirmed trying the lip-plumping treatment and addressed a slew of "crazy" questions about her appearance.

Ariana Biermann, daughter of The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak, got real with her TikTok followers about a cosmetic decision she came to regret. In a clip titled “No more filler,” she admitted to going through with a lip flip despite warnings from her injection specialist (per Bravo TV).

The 23-year-old tried a “chin shadow” filler treatment to smooth out her lower face. But what followed was anything but smooth.

She shared dramatic before-and-after photos of the results. “This is what the f--k I looked like after it was healed,” she said. “I bruise really bad but this was two and a half weeks later. Do you see this?”

Biermann later doubled down on filler dissolving procedures, swearing off facial injections for good.

“This whole side of my face was literally just massive,” she explained. “So I went in again and got it dissolved one more time, like, three days ago. I had a massive spot of filler that I could literally grab, and the side of my jaw had a huge bump right here.”

She previously told PEOPLE that she started using lip filler at 17, though she had wanted fuller lips since age 13.

“I think I was honestly ready to get my lips done at 13,” she said. “But I didn't. I didn't end up getting them done, I think, until I was honestly maybe like 17. And then you go crazy.”

Ivanka Trump’s recent courtroom appearance ignited speculation about possible cosmetic enhancements (per OK! Magazine).

After testifying for five hours at her father’s New York civil fraud trial, observers noticed visibly fuller lips, leading some experts to suspect surgical intervention.

“Ivanka Trump looks like she has had quite a makeover,” said Dr. Alexander Z. Rivkin, who compared photos of her from 2020 and 2023.

“Overall, her face now looks better proportioned, but less natural and more generic because her natural imperfections have been reduced.”

Rivkin added that her lips appeared to be enhanced with filler, noting that while they looked good from the front, they seemed overly defined from the side.

He also suggested that her updated look could include a subtle cosmetic lip flip based on recent photos.

Love Island USA contestant Vanna Einerson addressed plastic surgery rumors head-on during a July 1 episode of the Viall Files podcast (per E! News).

“Duh, I got my lips done, and I like my lips,” she declared. “But my cheeks and my chin I've had for life, born with it, and people were saying, 'Overfilled.'”

The 21-year-old’s mature look stunned many online viewers after she joined the villa (per The Sun). One shocked user posted on X, “21?? 21, where she looks older.”
