Megan Fox Plastic Surgery Controversy

This time it’s Megan Fox - another, “does she or doesn’t she? Has she or hasn’t she?”  Unlike Heidi Montag’s obvious cosmetic surgeries, Megan Fox has a more refined look.  Megan Fox is a beautiful young woman by anyone’s standards – you don’t have to be a Transformers fan to enjoy that!  But, has she had some “refining”?  The beauty of good plastic surgery is that it is subtle, and it often begs the question, “Did she or didn’t she?”

As a plastic surgeon here in Sacramento, I get questions all the time as to whether I think this starlet or that celebrity has had cosmetic work done. One thing I often say is that pretty much everyone in that line of work has or will have something done to improve their appearance. Because Megan Fox has been in the news a lot lately, combined with the fact that she is one of the most beautiful starlets in Hollywood, I get asked about her a lot! If you look at pictures of Megan Fox on the Internet, you can come to several conclusions fairly quickly.  In my medical opinion, I believe I can spot a few procedures she’s undergone.  The important thing is that if she has undergone these procedures, they were performed very well so kudos to her doctor!

1. Megan Fox most definitely has had breast augmentation with breast implants. That’s fairly obvious even to a non-plastic surgeon, but her enhancement matches the rest of her figure, and it is not over the top laterally like Heidi Montag’s breast augmentation.  It enhances her body without distracting from her other features.

2. She has also probably had two rhinoplasties.  The first rhinoplasty looks to be slightly unsuccessful.  There is an inverted V look on her upper nose in several photos that were taken after the bump was removed from her nose. This inverted V comes from the bones not coming together after being fractured. This was corrected the second time around, and further refinement appears to have been done on her nose, especially the tip.

3. Megan Fox likely has regular  Botox injections in her forehead. Even young people have some expression lines, but her forehead is incredibly clear without even a hint of a line. By using Botox at her age, she will avoid lines appearing in the future. She also seems to have had some shaping with advanced Botox techniques to raise a lateral and give her an exotic Angelina Jolie -type look.

4. Megan Fox also appears to have had a very good lip augmentation. Unlike many lip augmentations, Megan Fox’s lips are not over-the-top.  Her lips are definitely fuller, but it still looks relatively natural.

5. There has also been some suggestion of cheek implants, but unless they are very small, she just appears to have gotten older and a little more defined with some weight loss.

So what does this all mean?  It means that plastic surgery has something for everybody: for a middle-aged woman who wants to take in her neck a bit, or a young woman who wants a flatter stomach after having babies… or an aspiring superstar just shy of perfection. Were the changes reasonable?  I think she managed to fine tune her already attractive features and she did so without going way overboard like Heidi Montag. Is she more beautiful?  You can judge for yourself. But generally speaking a straight nose, fuller lips, a curved brow, and fuller breasts are often considered to be more attractive by our culture’s current standards of feminine beauty.
