Lindsay Lohan's facial features are the talk of the Web, as many are beginning to question whether the young and gorgeous actress has had surgical work done despite the fact that she's just 23 years old. Did she go under the knife, or is it maturity and/or her hard-living lifestyle that's changed her looks. After the jump, a plastic surgeon weighs in.
Lindsay Lohan's looks of late are causing many -- including a plastic surgeon we spoke with -- to speculate that she's gotten plastic surgery enhancements on her face. Look at Lindsay Through the Years, And You Be the Judge >>>

"Lindsay appears to have undergone a lot of changes over the past several years," says Dr. Tony Youn, a practicing Board-Certified plastic surgeon who doesn't treat Lohan tells PopEater after seeing a variety of photos of the actress over the years. "While these photos are only years apart, she appears to have aged 15 years! Her skin shows signs of premature aging, with solar damage, pigmentary blemishes, fine wrinkles, and coarseness not typically seen in a person her age. Plus, her lips appear inflated to drastic proportions, resembling the 'trout pout' of some Hollywood celebrities," Youn tells PopEater. The "trout pout" has become slang terminology for when one gets lip injections that cause extreme puffiness and a massive change in the face's look.
Youn, who also runs a celebrity-related plastic surgery blog, tells PopEater that Lohan's drastic physical changes "are dramatic and severe for someone her age," and that her hard-living lifestyle could also have adverse effects on her looks and complexion.
"Drug and alcohol abuse are second only to sun abuse in causing premature aging," Youn tells PopEater. "These items can dehydrate the skin, cause fine and coarse wrinkles, and even cause the face to look more gaunt. Smoking is the worst of all. "
Britain's Daily Mail says that the 23-year-old starlet "appears to be tampering with her looks like an aging actress worried she won't get any more roles." The newspaper goes on to cite "her puffy face and crow's feet" as features that seem to have changed in recent months. Celebrity blog LimeLife agrees, saying Lohan likely "got injections in her lips, around her mouth, and near her eyes/forehead very recently."
Lohan's career has been an erratic roller coaster ride of both positive and negative since she burst onto the scene as an adorable child actress in 1998's 'The Parent Trap.' Her career and fame only grew from there, as she scored posh roles in movies like 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' and 'Mean Girls,' propelling her into Hollywood's A-list at a very young age.
It was Lohan's post-'Mean Girls' years that turned detrimental to the star. She quickly gained a reputation as a Hollywood party girl, and rumors that her fast lifestyle was affecting her work ran rampant. In 2006, industry bigwig James G. Robinson -- whose firm wrote 'Georgia Rule,' which Lohan was working on -- wrote an open letter to Lohan directed at her behavior and work ethic. After Lohan cited exhaustion for her tardiness and inability to work, Robinson wrote: "We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so called 'exhaustion.'"
2007 was a turning point for Lohan. That year, she checked into rehab on two separate occasions, and in the summer, was arrested twice for drunk driving -- once with cocaine possession charges added on.
Since that troubled summer, Lohan's career has never quite recovered to its past glory. She's had roles in the less-than-successful films 'I Know Who Killed Me,' as well as the straight-to-DVD 'Labor Pains.'

"My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing. I had a hernia, this huge bump next to my bellybutton. As a result, I couldn't wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work," Tara Reid said of her botched plastic surgery.

"I saw a picture of myself and thought, 'Uh-oh.' You have to be careful. I'm a perfect example of that! There are many things you can do to make yourself look better," Lisa Rinna says of her plastic surgery.
I don't know. Granted, she looks a LOT older now than she did before, which sucks because she was perfect the way she was. Hope she reads this. However, I'm certain she did not get plastic surgery. Trust me. A LOT of partying and sun and such can do a number on just about anyone. I should know ^_^
Yah I agree! She was a really pretty girl from like the Parent Trap until Mean Girls...after that it's like she spiraled downwards.For one, she needs to lose that blonde hair, she looks washed out. That hard partying lifestyle doesn't help at all with her looks, she definitely looks older than 23, and I agree get this girl some food! This skeletally thin thing is just...not attractive. I do hope that she gets everything sorted out though, it'd be a shame for someone who was once so promising to lose everything at such a young age.
Yeah, she got plastic surgery. It's called the plastic pipe, alcohol in a plastic cup, and weed and pills in a plastic bottle. It's so sad, this girl was absolutely gorgeous at one time.
she definitely was gorgeous when she was younger and now she looks like a sixty year old wino, neither she nor samantha ronson have to with each other for their looks!
She may be a beautiful young woman, but she does appear to have aged poorly. When I looked at her photos, she appeared to be a well-preserved 40 yr old.
she didn't get plastic surgery she just does a lot of drugs it will change your facial features....hence the reason she looks like a 40 year old when in fact she is only like 23.....
Drugs and alcohol don't make your lips look like that. She's definitely had work done to her lips. She is not beautiful inside OR out, she is TRASH. I'll be damned if I had a daughter who turned out like that. Of course they're gonna "hate" on her! Her career is over and she did it to herself. She's no role model, she is young and selfish. Tragic, but you can only feel so bad for someone who doesn't bother to change themselves.
I'm gonna go with high and drunk. She has put on about 15 to 20 lbs also that is why she looks so bad. She is a cute girl but she is 23 and wild and stupid. She will calm down lets just hope she does not hit the rock bottom before she realizes what she has done to herself.
I don't think that Lindsay's weight is in question. She's pin thinn as it is. It's her looks. She's drastically changed so much in the past few years. Yes, drugs will change a persons appearance but so will plastic surgery. If Lindsay laid off the drugs, I bet she'd look so much better. I agree, Emily, she needs to go back to her darker hair. The blonde is just washing her out.
I'd rather die with the aging life that God made for me and not to die from some messed up plastic surgery that lets everyone know you have had it so don't denie you look like CRAP!! you messed ur self up..
She's a pretty girl with a lot on her plate and what seems like little guidance. Her next project should be starring in the adaptation of the book SILLY LITTLE RICH GIRL.
I think she looks fine, just that the blonde hair doesnt work for her; i think she looks much better with either red or brown (esp red) the blonde makes her face look washed out and appear older

I agree that she looks old for her age. If they did a drug test on her on October 19 at the premier I think she would have failed!
23 going on 40. That is what heavy drinking and dopeing will do to you. It shows in her face first.
