Actually, Botox works by paralyzing the muscles of the face that cause wrinkles, which is why over-use results in a “mask” type appearance(see Cher, Pelosi). Collagen is used and abused for plumping (of the lips for example—see Lisa Rinna) but the worst cases you may be thinking of are often the result of full cheek implants to stretch the skin (see Lisa Presley). I suspect in this case the Botox is used to paralyze her cheek muscles slightly so that her smile does not round out her face as much. It’s sick how much I know about cosmetic surgery as a guy but it all comes from reading one silly blog one day when I got interested in how Michael Jackson chopped up his face.

I’m curious about the cheek implants. Are these the ones that are literally bolted onto the bones?

Which again raises the age old question..

Q. Why don’t you smile more?

A. It takes more muscles to frown than smile so how else am I going to get any exercise?...
