Meghan Trainor is speaking out about one of her cosmetic procedure regrets. The pop singer recently admitted that she’s had “too much Botox” to the point where she “cannot smile” while speaking on the November 20 episode of the Workin’ On It with Meghan Trainor & Ryan Trainor podcast.
Early in the episode, around the 6:30-minute mark, Meghan revealed that she could no longer smile because of a Botox lip flip. (A lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that uses neuromodulators, such as Botox, to relax a muscle in the upper lip, causing the lip to “flip” making your lips appear fuller)
“To to all my fellow girlies out there, who’s in your 30s out there, hi—I got too much Botox and I need help,” Meghan said on the podcast. “I messed up. Listen, I’ve had Botox, like a handful of times, just a few times, just up here, just my forehead. And someone convinced me with my little lips that if you did a lip flip, you put filler right above your upper lip, that you could have a beautiful flip on your upper lip.”
She continued, “And I could have one for the first time in my whole 30 years of living. It was not true, right?”
Meghan went on to explain to her brother and co-host Ryan Trainor and her husband actor Daryl Sabara, who had joined in for the episode, that following the cosmetic procedure, “I cannot smile anymore.” She then looked at the camera, smiling, as she said, “Look, this is as big as I can smile.”
Meghan then encouraged listeners to “go on YouTube to watch this.”
“And now I can’t unsee it. And everywhere I go, I cannot smile. My face hurts to smile, to even try,” she said.
Meghan then held up a photo on her phone of herself holding a dog when she recently visited a dog shelter as she said, “I don’t look happy. I look like I smelled someone’s fart … somebody help me!”
Speaking about her decision to try Botox on her forehead for the first time, Meghan said, “I was like, ‘This is young.’ People gave me compliments [saying] ‘You look rested.’ So I was like, ‘I’m going to do it again.’ I just got back from tour.”
Meghan went on to share that what she’s learned from the experience is “don’t try everything.”
