A petrifying story: why did Megan Fox’s face remain motionless and what mistakes did she make in plastic? beautician answers

A resounding start, a ten-year hiatus, and a fascinating comeback – something like this could define Megan Fox’s career path. After her role in Transformers, the actress became the new Angelina Jolie. In 2007, she was predicted to be the sex symbol of the decade, and so that expectations wouldn’t go wrong, the star decided to take matters into her own hands. Plastic surgeons and cosmetologists helped her perfect her appearance – correcting her nose, eyelids, lips and cheekbones, Megan turned into a modern ideal of beauty.

She then took a long hiatus from Meghan’s career, where she devoted herself to family and raising her sons with actor Brian Austin Green. And here it is, more than a decade later, in 2020, star musician Machine Gun Kelly is back in the limelight of fans and glossy magazines thanks to a novella. After that, she got her first Met Gala invitation and starred in a campaign for Kim Kardashian’s underwear brand, Skims. However, the number of services by cosmetologists and plastic surgeons has increased, and over time Meghan’s face has become motionless in some photos (but not as much as Nicole Kidman’s, of course). What led to such “petrification”? Olga Mokrishcheva, cosmetologist of the Linline clinical network and an expert in injection techniques, explains.

How has Megan Fox’s appearance changed?

If you look at the transformations (back, tip, width) of the nose of the actress, we can say that she had several rhinoplasty. Initially, there was a retraction of the back, different widths of the nostrils and asymmetry, but eventually the nose became elegant and refined.

Studies have been done for centuries. You can see the drooping eyelid in the first photos, but it fades over time. Therefore, we can conclude that blepharoplasty was performed. There is also a small scar on the chin – it can be assumed that mentoplasty (chin augmentation) was performed.

Megan loves to fix her lips and cheekbones with fillers. And if full lips suit her, then she has a lot of cheekbones and the face sometimes looks a little swollen.

Why was Megan’s face motionless?

Botulinum toxin injections are no longer injected in large doses, so facial expressions are preserved and the face does not appear frozen or stoned from it. But there is another reason why the actress has the face, which is often called the “stone”. The truth is she has a “gum smile” she is. This is a condition in which part of the gums of the upper jaw is exposed more than 2-3 mm when smiling.

This feature is corrected by inserting a filler into the upper lip and injections of botulinum toxin (the lip comes into its correct position). And most likely, at a time when the botulinum toxin wears off and the smile doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing again, Megan chooses not to smile at all. Therefore, the face of the actress almost does not seem to move.
