Get off your soapbox, Megan Fox.

Mon, 18 July 2011 3:37PM

I was listening on the radio the other day to a VERY IMPORTANT debate over whether Megan Fox has or hasn’t had Botox. So fed up with the debate, Fox, posted pics on her facebook page, of herself frowning and raising her eyebrows, in a bid to prove that her pretty face is 100% Botox free. Cut a long story short, and within a few hours of the pics being up, cosmetic professionals in the States started commenting, saying the wrinkles and lines on her forehead were unrealistic and had been photoshopped.

Is 25 too young for Botox?

Megan Fox

Even though I’ve never tried Botox (and can’t see myself putting my hand up to test-drive it anytime soon) I am intrigued by it. Sometimes, it’s the people you least expect who are the biggest bandits for the stuff.  I have friends who started getting injections at the ripe age of 25 as a ‘preventitive’ measure. They’re not celebrities and they’re not rolling in cash, they’re just paranoid about wrinkles. 

J-Lo, looking pretty smooth and plump for 41…

Each to their own, but it just bugs me when celebrities try to skirt around the issue. If you get it, why not admit to it, instead of making everyone else around you feel like they’re ageing at a rapid rate.

Do you think Megan Fox has had Botox?

Are you for or against Botox?

Do you care if a celebrity has Botox or not?

Do you believe celeb’s when they say they don’t get it?

    She’s HAD to have had some cosmetic surgery..!! Surely!!

    Megan’s frownie pic on fb has the most unusually shaped wrinkles. Not saying she faked it but they certainly don’t look normal …

    i think she has definately had botox, her face has changed so much (and for the worse) :

  • Posted by: Fashionista8P Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:13pm

    Botox? really…
    i do not care for it in the slightest and yes i agree, if she has had it why should she try and hide it…

  • Posted by: NatMon Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:16pm

    I think Megan Fox as had more than Botox done!
    I can understand why people get it done, but personally I think it makes you look a bit plastic. Also apparently if you get it done too young it can make you look older, so don’t know why people would start at 25.

  • Posted by: Roxymisha // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:22pm

    I really don’t care whether celebrities or other people have botox. It is their decision and really none of my business.

  • Posted by: Sarah // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:24pm

    It’s not only sad, but pathetic to be getting botox, or anything like it in your 20′s. It’s just beyond ridiculous. I do understand that botox, and cosmetic surgery as a whole is beneficial to some people, either cosmetically or medically, but to be using it at such a young age is just setting yourself up for disaster. It’s even more disturbing that it’s something that’s bandied about with ease and taken as nothing more serious than buying a new anti-wrinkle cream. It’s a sad reflection on the state of society.

    I agree with you Natmon, getting botox at 25 is crazy! And I think she definitely looks like she’s had some work done, such a shame because I never noticed it in Transformers. I was always on the fence about plastic surgery – until a friend had a boob job. Now I know 100%, save for reconstructive purposes, plastic surgery will never be on the agenda for me.

  • Posted by: Becca Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:29pm

    I believe she has had botox. I don’t mind plastic surgery, but I think it would deminish the stigma around it if more celebrities admitted to having it. There is an addictive blog called http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com which has written about Megan Fox’s surgeries… I love seeing before and after photos, and she has definitely had work done.

  • Posted by: sprinkles37 Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:44pm

    Becca, i love that blog!! I wish they updated it more.

    She has definitely done something. Collagen, Fillers, plumpers, something! No one changes that much in so little time. Even if youve lost weight your nose suddenly doesnt have a different shape!!

    I hate how celebs lie about it. Its ok to age….actually its a good thing!

  • Posted by: Annabelle Enthusiast // Mon, 18 July 2011 04:51pm

    I wouldn’t rule out botox when my skin is ageing. I don’t think Megan needs it but I also don’t believe she or any other celeb HAS to fess up to having botox. Its their own personal business. Although I dislike it when they lie about it because it can make other women feel they have to conform to an unrealistic look for their age.

  • Posted by: kylie // Mon, 18 July 2011 05:08pm

    i was talking about this very same topic today. i think it’s incredibly sad girls in their 20′s feel that they need botox!!! i am sick of looking at plastic faces. sad sad sad… but each to their own.

  • Posted by: Aurelia // Mon, 18 July 2011 05:10pm

    If you look at Megan Fox when she was in Mean Girls and compare to how she looks now, there’s a remarkable difference. She probably has has some Botox done ‘cos her face doesn’t look completely natural for her age.

  • Posted by: Jannz Devotee // Mon, 18 July 2011 05:47pm

    I have a friend who started getting botox at around 19. I persuaded her to stop doing it and I think she’s taken a break from it. It’s so pointless at that age, and even on older people it can look really unflattering.

  • Posted by: lady Devotee // Mon, 18 July 2011 06:01pm

    I tend to think that Megan Fox has had some kind of cosmetic procedure on her face. Something just doesn’t look quite right – or maybe it’s just bad makeup (nah!)?

    I personally would not use botox, unless it was for medicinal purposes, like migraines or excessive sweating. I figure a lot of people don’t get to live to be as old as I am, so I may as well embrace it!!

    I don’t really care if a celebrity has had work done, but I think that if they have, they should admit to it. Not admitting to it is leading to a whole lot of women having unrealistic expectations about what ‘healthy eating and sunblock’ can do for you in the anti-aging battle.

  • Posted by: lady Devotee // Mon, 18 July 2011 06:03pm

    I’ve seen on some entertainment shows that in some parts of L.A, it really is the norm to have had cosmetic work done.

    Apparently you stand out if you’re aging normally! I think this is quite sad…

  • Posted by: Adele // Mon, 18 July 2011 06:11pm

    You are blind if you think she hasnt, its right there, the proof is in her extremely odd face. Her wrinkles looked so forced and there was hardly anything happening.
    I HATE the look of botox, its a puffy look. Its obvious when someone has had it when you compare to ‘normal’ people. I actually dont understand how people can have a needle stuck into their face and have chemicals pumped in. I was shocked when my mum tried it, she didnt like it. The only thing Id ever do if I had the cash would be the lazer treatment on some scaring on my face, but that is only really noticable by me. The thing is, women that had botox really did used to look a little younger, but now heaps of people have it, they dont look young, they look ‘botoxed’.
    Dont do it, eat well, exercise, moisterise and be happy. We are not on camera or in the spotlight (not that thats a reason to botox) but really, its very vain because most of us are just normal people and no one cares how smooth or young you look at the end of the day.

  • Posted by: Coconal Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 06:29pm

    I think she has done something because she looks just plain strange in that first photo. It’s a bit sad because she was so beautiful before she did anything!

  • Posted by: SydneyRose Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 06:39pm

    Sure Megan Fox had cosmetic surgery! Perhaps even Botox. Quite frankly, I don’t care whether any celebrity has had cosmetic surgery or Botox. Why can’t they admit it?

  • Posted by: Bridals // Mon, 18 July 2011 07:38pm

    It’s very easy to say at 26 that I will never do botox but I truly hope this remians the case. We still dont know the long term effects of using Botox. I have taken a preventative measures like sunscreen, facials, vitamins and healthy diet.

  • Posted by: lozfromoz Devotee // Mon, 18 July 2011 07:52pm

    I think she’s had a lot more than Botox, she looks like a wax statue! It’s possible that she just held off on the botox for a couple of months so she could do these pics, she hasn’t been working and has had tons of bad publicity lately, so if she knew she wouldn’t be seen much she could have taken a break from it. I think she looks pretty unnatural.

  • Posted by: Bels // Mon, 18 July 2011 08:17pm

    Maybe not botox but every single other facial cosmetic procedure under the sun! She’s a veritable Nicole Kidman..

  • Posted by: Glush // Mon, 18 July 2011 08:59pm

    Definitely think she’s had botox. Her eyebrows are waaaay too high these days. I agree, if you’ve had it done, at least have the guts to own up to it.

  • Posted by: MissMel Enthusiast // Mon, 18 July 2011 09:36pm

    Totally – tell the truth so us mere mortals feel slightly less inadequate!

  • Posted by: xKMS Master Fan // Mon, 18 July 2011 10:00pm

    she’s obviously had some sort of botox /face lift.. but if she doesn’t wanna tell us that’s her business.. i think she looked better before though..

  • Posted by: Karen-1298334769 Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 08:23am

    She looks like she has had her eyes done or her cheeks have had some plumping. Its hard to say really.

  • Posted by: Louise-1295043242 Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 11:40am

    definately think she has had botox!
    even when she took the pics of her forehead, doesnt mean that she’s never had it -her forehead has been way too shiny and paralysed in the past for her to say she hasn’t had it!

  • Posted by: sumaya Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 12:47pm

    There are many fake celebs and to tell you the truth i don’t really care what they have had done.

  • Posted by: Laura-1300235498 Enthusiast // Tue, 19 July 2011 01:55pm

    Agreed! We don’t care if you’ve had it – their industry is ALL about looks! But please, own up to it.

  • Posted by: Julieow Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 03:13pm

    She is had a whole world of work and its ruining her , she is starting to look scary. I’m not against botox (considering maybe in a year or two) but don’t hide the fact you have done- agree

  • Posted by: JoJo // Tue, 19 July 2011 05:47pm

    Boy, does she look botoxed to me. I don’t care for botox and i hope i never change my mind. What celebrities do is up to them – but please celebs be honest ! I am hoping to age gracefully.

  • Posted by: strawbsundae Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 08:04pm

    yes, it’s obvious!

  • Posted by: GorgeousEmeralds Master Fan // Tue, 19 July 2011 08:32pm

    Megan Fox’s face has been altered and I think she has had botox.
    I think that people can do whatever they want to their own face but they should admit it and not try to hide it (25 is a bit young though). But it is them who do look a bit funny because their face is frozen and the stangeness gets worse the longer they use it :)

  • Posted by: beautyaddict_xo Master Fan // Wed, 20 July 2011 01:02pm

    Her face looks wayyy too smooth and tight for her not to have had botox!

  • Posted by: lala212 Enthusiast // Thu, 28 July 2011 07:35pm

    i don’t believe her at all. just compare pics of her when she was just starting in the industry and now. she looked a lot nicer and fresh back then. now she just looks like a manequin. Jlo looks great though. maybe megan should go to her plastic surgeon…

  • Posted by: zoeeangelaa Master Fan // Fri, 23 September 2011 03:55pm

    Both these women look great. If they have had surgery thats their choice and it doesn’t bother me.

  • Posted by: loopylexy Master Fan // Sun, 2 October 2011 01:28am

    Seriously?? This girl has had EVERYTHING done, forget about just botox!

  • Posted by: Juuliaahh Supporter // Thu, 20 October 2011 08:54pm

    Megan Fox wasn’t in Mean Girls..
    I’d like to think that she hasn’t, but she certainly looks different in some photos.
