Meghan Trainor was persuaded to have a lip treatment – and it went wrong! But that won’t stop the singer from having future procedures, as a major operation is already planned.

Meghan Trainor is very open about her beauty treatments. Among other things, she regularly has Botox injected into her forehead. She is now talking just as openly about a beauty surgery fail that happened to her.

Meghan Trainor was persuaded to have a lip flip

More and more women are talking publicly about minor and major beauty procedures, such as Botox, hyaluronic acid, and facial lifting surgery. Singer Meghan Trainor has also tried a few things in the past. She also seems to have taken a particular liking to Botox in the forehead area. “I’ve only had Botox injected a few times, especially in my forehead,” she reports in the podcast “Workin’ On It.”

In addition to a Botox treatment on her forehead, she was persuaded by her doctor to try the so-called lip flip, a treatment that promises a fuller upper lip. However, instead of hyaluronic acid, Botox, a neurotoxin, is used here. It is injected above the edge of the upper lip and relaxes the muscles so that the upper lip “flips up,” hence the name. This turns the lip outwards so that more of the red of the lip is visible, and the lips appear fuller. The lip flip is said to give a more natural result.

Meghan Trainor: “I can’t smile anymore”

Meghan Trainor agreed to a lip flip treatment. She said: “I thought it would give me a beautiful and, above all, visible upper lip for the first time in my life. But to be honest, it was a huge mistake.”

The problem: Botox did its job and paralyzed the singer’s muscles, changing her facial expressions. “I can’t smile anymore,” Trainor explains and demonstrates this in a video on Instagram. She speculates: “I’ve just had too many injections.”

Fortunately, the effects of Botox wear off over time and usually last three to six months. However, this depends on various factors, such as the treatment area, the individual metabolic rate, the dosage, and the frequency of previous treatments. When Botox is used for the first time, the effect may be somewhat shorter as the body first has to get used to the substance.

She is planning breast surgery

Meghan Trainor is not deterred by her beauty surgery fail for the time being, however. She has already planned another procedure – and this one is significantly larger and more complex. Last year, the singer became a mother for the second time and is still breastfeeding her son. Once she has weaned him, breast surgery is on the agenda.

“My breasts were full of milk, and now they’re empty, and then they were full of milk again, and now they’re empty again. They got big, they got small, they got big, they got small,” she reports. This has left its mark because her breasts are now “saggy sacks.” She explains that she doesn’t want “huge breasts” but rather small ones with an implant. But the procedure will be a “big deal” for her “self-confidence.” “I can hardly wait until I can have the breast surgery.”
