I've got the TV running in the background, and "Entertainment Tonight" comes on.

Before & After Photos Of Lisa Rinna's Plastic Surgery Transformation Are So Jarring

Lisa Rinna got her big break in 1992 when she landed the role of Billie Reed on NBC's "Days of Our Lives," but she began her acting career in the mid '80s with a role in a music video and then a 1988 action film called "Captive Rage."  Anyone's physical appearance is going to change over four decades, but side-by-side photos of Rinna in 1989 and 2025 prove that she looks like a completely different person today than she did at the start of her career. Rinna has had one of the most drastic transformations in Hollywood, and looked gorgeous every step of the way, but plastic surgery has r

1. It's crazy, isn't it?

A form of body dysmorphia, I guess. It’s really freaky.

4. Yes, I believe it's dysmorphia... and it's horrible that girls and women

grow up believing that the body they inhabit isn't "good enough" and that they need all this plastic surgery. Plastic surgery has its place in medical procedures, no doubt... crippling deformities, etc. But to get the "fad of the day" image is ridiculous. Lisa was beautiful before she started all the plastic surgery. Today, IMO, she looks like a plastic person - not a female human being.

Years ago, I read an article titled something along the lines of "Ungirdled"... it was about young girls' demands for girdles to shape their bodies the way they felt other people wanted them to look. The author was terrific, and I'll bet if I looked hard enough through all the mountains of articles, etc., that I've saved over the years, I could find it. And if I do, I want to repost it. It hit me as so relevant at the time, and even more so today, now that girls are being driven to this point again. We once were making headway for girls' acceptance of their bodies, and therefore themselves. Like every other milestone we put behind us, this one is again hitting us over the heads. And all for what? For more fat, middle-aged and old men to lust after and rape? It's all so discouraging, seeing our rights, our movement and momentum lost to patriarchy once again.

2. Yea, she was one of the early adopters of bg lips

[eppur_se_muova]

6. I didn't know that. I had thought earlier she had naturally prominent lips, leading others to imitate her ...

... through surgery. Sad to see it was never natural -- nor did her "beestung" lips ever strike me as being more attractive than anyone else's more normal lips.

Not the kind of thing I pay attention to normally, I just remember her name being prominent for a while back when I still got TV Guide. (What little I remember of Hollywood stars came mostly from doing crossword puzzles while watching shows which featured none of them.)

Or am I wrong….do men really like those???
