A famous LA dermatologist who counts lots of film and tv stars among her clientele tells PSFK that famous and almost-famous LA girls in their 20s are flocking to her to get their lips pumped up and reshaped. She mixes together two new injectibles called Restylane and Cosmoderm to create a much more natural-looking fake lip than was possible with the old collagen injections (which got a bad rap for giving women’s mouths that swollen, Jocelyne Wildenstein-like effect), so there’s no obvious way to tell which stars are getting a little enhancement in this area.
In Sunday’s New York Times critic Manohla Dargis bemoaned the ever-growing trend of actors "perfecting" their features to the extent that \they cease to look like individuals and even hinder their ability to act (http://www.nytimes.com), but it doesn’t seem like this phenomenon is going anywhere–especially now that dermatologists and plastic surgeons are able to do ever-more-subtle enhancements (protecting their patients from winding up on awfulplasticsurgery.com)

Is Ugly the New Beauty!
It’s an interesting comment that some actors are finding the perfection is hindering their work. Perhaps in the future we will see nose enlargement, mole creation avalible at palstic surgeons. Maybe even dentists will get in on the act. I can see it now, lines of fantastic looking stars outside dentists to get a wonky set of teeth installed. Make mine a Shane MacGowan:
