Nicole Kidman: a faint scar above the upper lip…

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

Nicole Kidman has recently shocked the world with a new transformation. Yes, it is “new”. Plastic surgeons have already helped her grow prettier; but until now, these artificial changes were only visible to professionals. And now, the actress who used to have really thin and flat mouth, has shown her face with those “pouty lips”. A faint scar above the upper lip gives the new method away.
It wasn’t due to the Restylane or Juvéderm shots that her lips got fuller, no. Instead the actress got cheiloplasty – a procedure that surgically moves the margins of the patient’s lips.

A strip of skin is taken away from the lip margins. Once the wound is closed, the actual lip then rolls in an outward direction so that the lip, in effect, appears to pout more as the height of the pink part is increased. This procedure results in a scar, exactly where there is a natural lip line anyhow.
