Amy Winehouse, may she rest in peace, led a troubled, turbulent existence while on this planet. The famous musician passed away at just 27 years of age of a drug overdose, which few people did not see coming. Beginning in 2003 she began to experience fame, and by 2009 has decided to go under the knife to start making her body into what she described as the ‘perfect pinup look.’ Unfortunately, she was never able to complete her extensive surgeries.
As with many of her other vices, Amy took a bit too much of a liking to plastic surgery from the start. She had obsessive behavioral patterns, and her plastic surgery ‘addiction’ was no exception. She felt she just couldn’t stop getting surgery until her results were ‘perfect.’ All this is despite the fact that the five-time Grammy winner had numerous complications with her breast implants. She ended up in the hospital several times in London for breast pain, leakage of her implants, and general discomfort. Some skeptics think these admittances to the hospital, however, had more to do with repeated drug use than problems with her implants.
Is Amy Winehouse Addicted to Plastic Surgery?
Amy spent $6,000 on breast implants in an effort to regain her former, pre-drugs, curvy body. (See Make Me Heal’s story on Amy Winehouse’s breast implants). Now, it seems that Amy has undergone a lip augmentation to further enhance her appearance.
Plastic surgeon Dr Richard Ellenbogen says,
“Those lips remind me of the backside of some barnyard animal. What was her doctor thinking? Then again what was she ever thinking? When patients sex up, its the lips and boobs…both probably overdone by request. Jocelyn Wildenstein, watch out– You have a fan club!”
Plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Rivkin, a specialist in injections, non-surgical treatments, lasers, says,
“Yeah, that’s a bit much in the lips, it seems. But she is doing her best to pout as much as possible for the pictures, so its a bit tough to tell.”
Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California says,
“Amy Winehouse’s lip augmentation looks a bit overdone, and more than necessary to compliment her face. It is hard to predict what she will do next, as patients’ choices for procedures are usually specific to what they would like to enhance, not what an onlooker may determine needs some work.”
Amy seems to be going after the typical pop star look of bigger is better, getting over the top implants and a trout pout to match. Rumor has it that next on Amy’s plastic surgery wish list are buttock implants.
According to the British tabloid The Sun, a source close to Amy said, “Amy loves her boobs. She can’t stop touching them and showing them off to friends. She says she feels womanly again and wants to be more curvy like she used to be. She thinks by having another op and bum implants that she will achieve her dream pin-up look.”
While it’s great that Amy seems to have a focus that isn’t a white powder, addiction in any form is never a good idea and people with plastic surgery addictions are never satisfied with their appearance, no matter how many plastic surgery procedures they undergo.
It’s clear that Amy Winehouse also had lip augmentation to make her lips look more plump. It’s unfortunate that instead of being seen as sexier, mostly people just made fun of her for getting too much lip filler put into her mouth. She began to look silly and sloppy due to excessive, and poorly done, plastic surgery procedures such as this one.
Sources who were close to the recording artist knew she wanted to continue with her plastic surgery and get procedures done like butt implants to make her figure curvier and more feminine. She loved 1960′s style, as can be seen in how she dressed and wore her hair, and wanted to truly reach that goal of looking like the perfect, retro, crooner-club girl.
What do you think of Amy’s plastic surgery mishaps? Did she achieve her goal of getting that retro look, or did she just look ridiculous from too much bad plastic surgery?
