Singer Gwen Stefani’s lips always look striking, usually made up in bold, hot pinks and bright reds.

So when I saw a headline on another site this week on whether she’d recently had a lip enhancement — the headline screamed, “Has Gwen Stefani had plastic surgery? No Doubt!’ – I was skeptical, at first.

I checked in with some plastic surgeons. One agreed she appears to have had work. The other wasn’t so sure.

The post on the website Famous Plastic focuses on her red carpet appearance and performance with No Doubt at the Teen choice awards this past weekend.

From Famous Plastic:

” … what’s up with her lips? her top lip has suddenly swollen to twice the size of her bottom lip! Uh oh, has glamorous Gwen finally gone overboard with the plastic surgery?”

 …  Gwen has definitely had her fair share of cosmetic procedures … The only problem is that you can’t look 29 forever. Plastic surgery can only hold back time for so long and Gwen is nearing that magic age where good plastic surgery can start to go bad.”

“currently Gwen is getting regular Botox and filler injections, and while she usually looks perfectly natural, her plastic surgeon went a little over the top when he pumped up her top lip prior to her appearance at the Teen choice Awards. Oops!”

Dr. Terry Dubrow of Newport Beach, in an interview with In your Face, said he also thinks that Stefani appears to have had lip fillers. but he doesn’t think she overdid it.

“there is no doubt she had lip augmentation and it looks great,” he said.

“The giveaway, besides the fact her lip is fuller, is that you can see much less of her upper gums when smiling,” he said. “The fuller lip is covering more of that gummy smile she has. Brilliant!”

Dr. John Di Saia noted that Stefani, 42, is typically photographed in makeup. He  thought if she did have work, it was pretty well done.

“She probably had some filler,” the San Clemente plastic surgeon said. “The best way to tell would be to see some current images without lipstick. If she did have filler, it is an ongoing project, as the safe ones do not last long.”

And if her lips were enhanced, he added, at least she avoided the exaggerated “trout pout” look we’ve seen on other celebrities.

See who’s over the trout pout — and who’s not

Stefani has never said that she’s had any plastic surgery. as of last year she denied it, though she said she would consider it. however, this isn’t the first time that she’s been the subject of speculation about it.

A few years back, the website Make Me Heal said she had a nose job a long time ago. It cited a photo of her as a teenager “with a rather bulbous nose tip and a wider bridge than her current nose.”

The site also questioned whether she’d gotten breast implants. Subsequent photos of her made that seem unlikely.
