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.
Oh PLEASE! She looks like a 23 year old party girl! She does NOT look 40 or 10 years older than 23! She is so BEAUTIFUL au natural. I don't like it when she gets too thin as I think that takes away from her beauty. I hope she stops all the craziness before 30 because that's when things will start to show up.
It's called doing drugs. It will make your appearance change drastically in the worst way. She may not be doing drugs but I have seen pictures of people who have & she is not to that point yet. She is certainly headed there though!
Oh and, the press needs something to talk about. Also, she's famous so this is what she gets. When someone's lips blow up like a balloon, just like at your school or work place, people are going to talk. Get over it. She's an actress, her life is public, she chooses to be what she is.
I'm sorry but it is the drugs that is making her look like dat. She looks so bad. i feel sry for her because she does have talent and we might lose her soon if she doesnt catch herself. i like her alot and i hope she does something to help herself
HEATHER, YOU NAILED IT ON THE HEAD! DRUGS DO THE EXACT THING WE ARE LOOKING AT. SHE DOES LOOK STRUNG OUT IN A FEW PICTURES. MAYBEE THATS WHY SHE MADE HERSELF LOOK LIKE COURTNEY LOVE! WAITE, MAYBEE THERE THE SAME PERSON!?
...perfect comparison...or Courtney Love...but Winehouse is the worst...Lindsey should carry around pictures of these two and when she gets tempted to party...look at them and think...this could be me
Magan-You re absolutely right....i meant that definitely some handle it much better than others,and yeah I'm sure that some bring it on themselves...and then whine about it afterwards...but I'm sure we both agree that Lindsey better clean up her act and get help before its too late,as its obvious that she's spinning out of control...
Where do I begin, She got caught up in the fast lifestyle of Hollywood just when She was on the height of her career she let it all get away, She went to the so called rehab resort and that didnt work and she.s been on a down fall ever since its really sad She is only 23 and already looks aged and washed up its really too bad because she was once a pretty young girl and ill agree She does look better with dark hair, If she can only clean up her act Im sure She can find sucess again Britney Spears got her act together and is now on top of her game

Watching those pictures is like watching a pictorial representation of a recipe for starlet:
1. Find a pretty tween girl
2. Add 2 parts Disney
3. Add 1 parts Alcohol
4. Add 1 parts Designer drugs
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 years in the media/paparazzi filth peddling industry.
6. Meal serves millions of fat, rubbernecking, dumb-azz, vicarious-living sheeple.
7. Careful, meal might spoil, burnout or worse by 30. In that case, serve remains as a succulent dessert to the circling vultures.
