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.
Ya know they really should take an old pics of Lindsey,Amy Winehouse,Courtney Love(Before their drug use)then a recent pic of them...and use these as deterrents for drug abuse to young people...I'm sure it could be used to scare people of the realities of drug abuse...it would hit home to them...
MAYBE if she would stop making that RIDICULOUS looking expression EVERY time someone takes a picture of her there wouldn't be so much speculation about plastic surgery. I don't think she had surgery (except lip injections) She looks like a worn out hag whose done WAY too many drugs, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stop making that UGLY face in pictures! She needs to get a tan (a fake tan, so she doesn't get more wrinkly), put some lipstick on, and SMILE! LOL I'm just saying.....
I'm not saying I hate Lindsay... but I'm sorry she looked so beautiful/sexy/gorgeous back when she didn't do any plastic surgery or made herself a skeleton. She was perfect back then but I guess she's been through a lot that... she couldn't see it for herself. I feel sorry for her;; Good Luck Lindsay, Take Care of yourself and I hope you finally feel pretty.
Put a picture of Lindsay Lohan's Mom next to her...it's partially genetic. Dina isn't aging well either. The only trouble is, Lindsay is starting to look older than her mother. Drugs will mess you up. It's sad. She has a lot of gifts, but she's wasting them.
she needs to quit acting for a bit and go somewhere to get her head together. maybe even go to college. at this rate she'll be dead in a year. all this to enhance her looks? it's having the opposite effect actually. she's a naturally beautiful girl. looks like she's trying to be m. monroe. why do these girls buy into that croc?
of course you can tell she has had lip injections, looks like she was going for the Angelina Jolie's DSL :) I dont think she has had any dramatic work done but you can definately tell that the drugs are wearing the poor girl down...shes what...24? she looks 40!!! C'mon linds...get Help!
I have no problem with plastic surgery, and if she is getting procedures done they sure are subtle. Were those pictures above supposed to show something specific...just looks likes a row of pictures of Lindsay at different ages/stages. Maybe they should circle the parts they want you to notice.
I think I am a attractive redhead and it's not very often to me anyway because I have picked myself apart for years,that there are a whole lot of pretty,natural redheads and Lindsey was one of those.That's what we know her for,her natural red hair.I always wanted to change myself and I am now in my forties and going grey,and oh how I wish that I had more of my natural red hair left.Lindsey need's to stay true to herself,be a redhead again and stay that way. I have been told that Red goes to Grey much sooner and I am living it.
Lindsey is a beautiful women and any changes and corrections to her face are minimal. I see that her eyes have become more blueish. Both upper and lower lips are more full. Her original jaw jutted to a point. Now there is a more rounded chin. She is a beautiful women and some of the comments I have read are cruel!
OMG! She looks old, realy sad, all that lifestyle made her look old before her time, damn I look better than she does and I am 51, never smoked, didn't party, never took drugs, and hate the sun and never went to tanning beds, maybe that is the reason why, I mean you are getting plastic surgery at a young age, I hate to see her when she is older, she will look a mess. Drugs eat your body alive, she did it to herself, with all her money, she was fortunate and she used it unwisely, I don't feel sorry for her at all, she got what she asked for, she isn't anything special no big star,
Lindsay didn't have plastic surgery. A person ages a lot faster when they're drinking, drugging and smoking like a chimney. Hard living has turned this once pretty young lady into 23-year-old who looks 40.

It seems to me that the years of partying, drugging and boozing is finally taking its toll on her.
