Seriously? You spent money doing this? ---

> [@rhubarbarin](#): > > If you can’t see a huge difference in the shape of her mouth and size of her lips in the pics of her before she was famous - I sure can’t blame you for disagreeing. I agree with you on Megan Fox, but really, the way bigger difference between the newer and older pics of Jolie is the nose job. ---

If anything, I thought Angelina Jolie’s lips looked larger when she was with Billy Bob Thornton than they do now. I always specifically noticed her lips, thinking they made her look a little off, while, now, she looks perfectly normal. ---

I have a questions about your lips: Were they always thin, or did they thin with age? How old are you, if you do not mind telling. I ask because I am nearing 40 and starting to see my lips get thinner, which isn’t the end of the world of course, but…you know. ---

Yeah, not a fan. My wife ultimately finagled my acceptance of her boob job, which I didn’t think she needed, but I’d have to put my foot down if it came to duck lips. ---

**Vinyl Turnip** , not to sound crass, but why would she want to augment her body if she’s married to you and you’re happy the way she was? I can’t see…why. I thought it was done by women to 1) please the man she’s with or 2) to attract men in the future because she’s single. ---

I was under the impression that cosmetic surgery was something women did “for themselves”. ---

**[spammer name deleted]**, since the homepage in your profile is a lip augmentation clinic, you should know the answer to your own question. Reported. ---

As long as it’s been revived, how about an update from the OP? Are you still happy with the procedure after three years? Have you repeated it and how often have you found it needed to be repeated? ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Nitpick: Angelina’s lips are natural; they just look freakish. Please google her modeling pics from her mid-teens, that time in life when all women’s lips are the most full and luscious they will ever be due to hormones and fat deposits in the face, and compare those cute, normal lips (top lip much smaller than bottom) to the giant, artificial fish-y ones she has now, in her mid-30s, with sunken cheeks and weighing a great deal less than she did as a young woman. No way. She also has had a nose job and a chin implant. She still looks recognizably like that young girl, but many changes have been made.
