Plastic surgery watch: the evolution of Sophie Monk's face
Aussie star Sophie Monk recently admitted she has somemajor regrets about the mess she made of her face from overdoing it on plastic surgery.
After finding fame in 2001 as a member of the pop group Bardot, the fresh-faced singer soon turned freaky-faced thanks to a rumoured nose job, lip augmentation, Botox and a boob job.
Now aged 31, she says she should never have trusted her surgeon.
Curse of the trout pout: Sophie Monk turns heads with her plumped up lips
Sophie Monk admitted two years ago that she 'regrets' succumbing to cosmetic surgery.
But the results still loom large for the Australian actress, who was photographed in LA on Monday with her trout pout looking decidedly plumped up.
The 33-year-old, who previously dated Benji Madden, was spotted on a shopping trip at Whole Foods in West Hollywood dressed casually in red jeans and cardigan by EMU Australia.
Sophie, who found fame in her native Australia in a girl group before moving to the US in search of an acting career in Hollywood, has previously confessed to having surgery 'everywhere'.
The star, who has appeared in the comedies Click and Date Movie, says it all started when she had collagen injected into her lips following a botched removal of a cyst.
'Half of my lip was removed with the cyst, and I was advised to get filler in my top lip to help balance it out,' she told Australia's Who magazine in 2011.
'I should have said no to the filler in the first place but I trusted the doctor.'
She didn't say if her ex boyfriend, plastic surgeon Dr John Diaz, performed the procedure.
The star may soon be heading back to Australia to take up a temporary position on a radio station.
She is being lined up to fill in for local 2DayFM presenter Fifi Box while she's on maternity leave.
Sophie has plenty of experience on the airwaves in her native country - she has regular appeared on the Kyle & Jackie O Show and Sea FM’s breakfast show on the Gold Coast.
Monk, 33, admitted out loud she had many plastic surgery procedures but now she has major regrets having surgery "everywhere".
In detail, it is rumored that Monk had a nose job, lip augmentation, botox and a boob job.
Monk wishes she had stayed natural. "I should have said no, but I trusted the doctor," Monk told Australia's Who magazine.
Monk revealed that it all started when she had collagen injected into her lips following a botched removal of a cyst. "Half of my lip was removed with the cyst, and I was advised to get filler in my top lip to help balance it out. I should have said no to the filler in the first place but I trusted the doctor. I'm so sick of people saying that just because of my lips, I've has surgery everywhere," Monk revealed to Australia's Who magazine.
In another interview, Sophie explained her numerous procedures and said she had no regrets: "I had a cyst removed and I had one lip smaller than the other, which they filled in, and that's it and I swear on my family's life I haven't touched that for eight years. So I've got real boobs, real everything," she was quoted as saying.
"I have tried Botox…I don't do it anymore. I think I've got that look that naturally I have big lips and eyes anyway," Monk continued.
"Sure, there are those who probably can't stand me," Monk explained to the Daily Telegraph.
"But I just say what I really think, I am always upfront and tell the truth, so I guess that does occasionally get me into a bit of trouble," Monk added.
It has to be noted that Monk once dated a plastic surgeon, Dr. John Diaz, but we don't know if he has performed all those procedures...
The question is: "What plastic surgeon experts believe about Sophie Monk's plastic surgery?"
Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer was quoted as saying: "It is completely normal to become interested in the hobbies and even occupation of a new boy/girl friend. Sophie's decision to have plastic surgery while she was dating her previous boyfriend was most likely because of his occupation as a plastic surgeon. Sophie Monk could take her breast implants out but she may need to tighten up any stretched out her skin with a breast lift procedure. She could also just opt for smaller breast implants. As far as Botox and fillers, those treatments are not permanent so they will wear off. It is important when deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery that the decision is based off of the patient's personal desire for surgery and not influenced by someone else."
Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California claimed: "It would be possible for Sophie Monk to revise surgical procedures to make her look appear more natural if she wished. And it is not more common for an individual to have surgical procedures when they are married to a plastic surgeon, as plastic surgery is a personal preference."
Conclusion: Sophie Monk looked more youthful and beautiful before plastic surgery as her appearance now is fake and "plastic". It would have been better if all those plastic surgery procedures wouldn't have happened in the first place because the results are undeniably over the top.
