pssh, girl looks fantastic. sobriety makes you look young.

Comment by vpg — October 25, 2009 at 8:06 pm

actually, her lips — and the balance between her upper and lower lip — look really good — and natural.

Comment by ilona — October 25, 2009 at 8:07 pm

No, she looks fantastic. Once again, you fail.

Comment by ilona — October 25, 2009 at 9:13 pm

(my comment was to “The Staff” here, not to vpg. I think the Awful Plastic Surgery blog and the Good Plastic Surgery blog have been taken over by someone who doesn’t understand the meaning of “good” and “awful”.)

Comment by Laura — October 25, 2009 at 11:21 pm

i also think she looks great! nice to see her like that once again.

Comment by JACKNASTY — October 25, 2009 at 11:25 pm

That’s the best she’s looked in ages.

Comment by gerry — October 26, 2009 at 1:44 am

this article should be moved to Good Plastic Surgery.

Comment by daniela — October 26, 2009 at 4:24 am

I totally agree with JACKNASTY. Also, the picture on the left is very unflattering and you cannot really judge her from that angle. However, she looks totally great.

Comment by methfreeq — October 26, 2009 at 4:27 am

She looks great in the after picture, just leave it up to her to make a mess of her face with the drinking and whatever else she does.

Comment by mr,ed — October 26, 2009 at 5:27 am

I think she’s done just enough, just this one time.

Comment by Teddi — October 26, 2009 at 6:33 am

What an improvement. I think she looks refreshed, happy and youthful.

Comment by Pam — October 26, 2009 at 7:05 am

I think she looks good. Please Tara, take a look at your self and stop with the unneeded plastic surgery.

Comment by Stephanie — October 26, 2009 at 7:40 am

I think that’s the best she’s looked in a long time.

Comment by Mike — October 26, 2009 at 7:40 am

The upper lip looks great, the lower one a little uneven (particular on her right side) … overall a good job

Comment by James — October 26, 2009 at 7:55 am

it’s just so sad what she has done to herself over the years with the giant boobs(too big for her), Bad lipo, OVER BLEACHED HAIR, and veneers. She was so pretty in american pie and van wilder

Comment by MG — October 26, 2009 at 8:08 am

I think she looks great. She doesn’t need any other procedures.

Comment by Barbara — October 26, 2009 at 8:44 am

She looks beautiful in that picture–just leave it alone. She looks healthy and refreshed.

Comment by Nuria — October 26, 2009 at 9:08 am

She looks wonderful. Her lips aren’t over done, and they look pretty natural.

Comment by Robyne00 — October 26, 2009 at 9:34 am

She looks lovely.

Comment by Joan — October 26, 2009 at 10:51 am

This is the best she’s looked in years. Also, the best lip-enhancement I’ve seen in ages. The fullness above the lipline could be from what looks to be veneers. I’m sure you could have found a better ‘before’ picture for comparison and as for the sideview ‘after’ picture, she is talking to someone and her face is animated. The lips work for her.

Comment by Alexis — October 26, 2009 at 12:26 pm

The trouble with botox-lips, is that even when they look OK from the front, (I think they usually don’t.) they look god-awful from the side. They just look unnaturally swollen. When you can snort coke off your own upper lip, because it juts out like a louvre underneath your nose and juts out twice as far as your lower lip, it just looks fake. Not attractive at all. While the 2nd photo here looks pretty good, it’s still just a photo. Most of the time people are not looking at you straight on, with a facial expression that distorts the actual shape of your lips. The bottom photo is a much better example of what she really looks like with those ridiculous lips – like she’s having an allergic reaction to lipstick and a bee sting both at the same time.

Comment by TundraFire — October 26, 2009 at 12:46 pm

I know she’s had her ups and downs, but I think she’s still beautiful. She’s also genuinely nice and there’s not a lot of those in Hollywood. In my opinion, she was beautiful to begin with and never needed “improvements”.

Comment by Julie — October 26, 2009 at 12:59 pm

Well, don’t know what’s the problem, she looks good!

Comment by elise — October 26, 2009 at 1:08 pm

She looks a lot better in the ‘after’ pic but she doesn’t quite look like Tara Reid anymore. Her nose looks different.

Comment by mamallama — October 26, 2009 at 1:21 pm

I think she looks good. The only thing I would do to improve her looks is have her go with a more natural hair color. A blonde base to match her eyebrows with a bit of subtle highlighting and she’d really be looking great.

Comment by Melissa — October 26, 2009 at 1:32 pm

I think she looks really cute and pretty. She seems really sweet and I feel bad that people pick on her looks so much, especially when she’s been nothing but open about the botched boob job and stomach lipo.

Comment by CK — October 26, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Botox is for relaxing wrinkles, not plumping lips, Alexis.

Comment by .... — October 26, 2009 at 7:18 pm

lip injections or not, she looks fantastic! the best she has ever looked!

and alexis – the bottom photo is not recent. that was supposed to be before the alleged lip injections.

Comment by Ani — October 26, 2009 at 9:11 pm

I have to go with the others and say she looks great in the “after” picture… she looks very pretty! Even without the glaring contrast of the “before” picture, I’d still say she looks great. If she’s cleaned up her act as she claims, then sobriety has worked wonders on her. She doesn’t look tired or strung out.

Comment by Patrice — October 27, 2009 at 8:21 am

I can’t beleieve taht I’m about to say this, but in that “after” picture in the top right, Tra looks amaaaaazing!! I have bnever seen the girl look better. Then the one on the botton popped up….

Comment by anon — October 27, 2009 at 6:34 pm

She looks good in the after picture.

Comment by Lisa — October 28, 2009 at 2:45 am

Her lips look good. Not like Melanie Griffith’s trout pout at all. I just don’t understand why she’s still sticking to that heavy eyeliner, bleached blond college-ey look eventhough she’s 30++. Honey, you’re old. You’re not college girls age.

Comment by GratuitousViolets — October 28, 2009 at 7:11 am

This woman was once absolutely stunning before she started messing around with her looks. Now she’s like a trainwreck in most pictures, false breasts hanging out of tops, stomach lumpy and wrinkled, etc.

If she hadn’t LOST all the weight she didn’t even need to lose, hadn’t ruined her youthful look with drink, drugs and partying she would have still looked youthful, fresh and beautiful.

The bee-stung look seems to look alright in the “Makeup” picture but it means she’ll continue to get them bigger and bigger as time goes on. Why can’t she leave herself alone already?

Comment by Christi — October 28, 2009 at 10:33 am

Are you saying the “After” picture looks bad? Her lips look great! Just the right amount of filler. Her doctor used great restraint.

Comment by cidknee — October 28, 2009 at 3:18 pm

Her fake lips look great. They fit her.

Comment by Anon — October 29, 2009 at 4:02 am

Honestly, the Before pic is misleading. Her makeup is great and she’s sober in the After pic, which makes her clownish fake lips look good. WHY would you post that Before pic knowing how judgmental people can be? I think GratuitousViolets is the only person who sees the truth.

Comment by Alexis — October 31, 2009 at 1:02 pm

I found a recent photo of her and her new dura-flame lips here. As you can see in the photo, when she’s not smiling, and when you don’t see her from a straight-on angle, she has duck lips. You could snort coke off of them. This is not attractive.

Her natural lips were much prettier on her.

Comment by M — November 19, 2009 at 3:23 pm

she looks better than she’s done in ages.. healthy and happy look
