Doctors doubt octuplet mom’s denials about plastic surgery

Survey: Did Nadya Suleman have plastic surgery?

DEBATE OVER PLASTIC SURGERY
Nadya Suleman, the mother of octuplets from Whittier, denies that she’s had plastic surgery, including a nose job and lip implants or lip injections.
But many doubt her, including local specialists in cosmetic medicine.
Plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente says he thinks she had “a lip filler and rhinoplasty …at the minimum.” He adds, “Is that what welfare money goes for these days?”
Suleman also says she’s not fascinated with Angelina Jolie and isn’t trying to look like or act like her. But many doubt that too.
Dr. Vince Afsahi, dermatologist in Tustin and Newport Beach, comments:
The facial similarities between Angelina Jolie and Nadya Suleman are striking. Both have very full lips, high cheek bones, smooth foreheads, and a sloped, petite nose. These areas are obviously the most common ones for cosmetic enhancements, and therefore can transform a person’s appearance — if desired.
Elizabeth Snead in the L.A. Times Dish Rag blog, says:
Angelina Jolie, who knows a little something about rapidly creating a large family, is reportedly ”totally creeped out” by Nadya Suleman, the single mom of six who just gave birth to octuplets, all via artificial insemination.
Though Suleman denied having plastic surgery to make her look like the Oscar-winning actress, neighbors, friends and family of the unemployed single mom on food stamps say that’s baloney.
Katherine Thomson comments in the Huffington Post:
In photos of Suleman pre-octuplets out Monday, she looks noticeably different. She has had what appears to be lip implants or filler injections to pump up her pucker. She’s also evidently had a nose job.
Both nose and lips now mimic the features of Jolie, as others have pointed out. … Suleman already had brown eyes and has now grown her dark brown hair all the way down her back.

This girl is obviously teetering on reality; social services should do a in-home evaluation to see if she is even stable enough to care for the children. That many young children is going to cause her some stress.
Nadya Suleman is a whack job. Instead of Angelina Jolie, those overly inflated lips look like The Joker from Batman. I suppose her next government aide will go towards a tummy tuck….
Instead of spending her children’s disability payments, she should be socking it away to help take care of them now and in the future. Of the three current disabled ones at least one (the Autistic one) will need life time care. Since the new 8 babies have a high perentage chance of all having developmental delays….I see a lot of new disability payments in the future. Will Miss Suleman ever get a job….ah NO. If she did she’d lose the kid’s disabilit payments as normally most disabled kids don’t get that until they turn 18 as whether they get it before then is based on their parent’s income. I know this as I have a permanently disabled child and she gets nothing due to our income.
This woman is a liar! She obviously had “plastic” surgery but she’ll weasel out of it when caught just like she did when it was found out she was receiving food stamps she claimed weren’t “welfare”. How does this woman get money for her young kids, afford a nanny, have a pretty decent car, and send her kids to private school. If fraud is a job, this woman is gainfully employed. And is she still begging on her website?
All these stories about Nadya Suleman is bringing all of the “hater’s” true colors.. Haters sit around all day and complain, hate, analyze, dog-watch and gossip about other people’s lives… It’s amazing how many haters there are… Kat Williams is right… If you don’t have haters, you’re not doing your job.. if you have 20 haters, you should be worrying about how to make it 40.. HAHA.. EVERYONE, KEEP ON HATING… !! IT’S HILARIOUS HOW IT FRUSTRATES YOU DEEP INSIDE… This lady’s life has actually gotten into you….. incredible.. I love it.. =) You go Nadya.. make ‘em all hate you!! hahahaa!!! silly haters…
all1mind - recognize >=)
The file photo of her from 2006 verses now, is WAY to drastic of a change for her to not have had plastic surgery! Her lips alone are at least ten times the size, and her nose is at least three times as small.
People DO NOT naturally change that drastically in just two years. Nor do they afford plastic surgery on using food stamps and disability.
This woman gives ALL single mothers a BAD NAME, much less those who are jobless and on welfare!
Donating to this woman is ten amount to treason, especially if your are a church, as this women appears to have at least three or four of the seven deadly sins working against her.
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!!
I though only dogs and pigs could have a litter of 8.
Before anyone considers donating, they need to know that all eight babies, from the day they were born, qualified for SSI payments for a minimum of 12 months, because each weighed less that 1200 grams when born. Together with the other three for a total of 11 at approx. $700 each per month, the total Nadya receives per month is approx. $7,700.00 for her children. I think it’s inappropriate for her to ask for anything more from us, as we can all guess where it will be spent, and I think the proper authorities need to investigate her for obvious fraud on previous financial assistance issues. The only thing she has not lied about is that she now has 14 children.
OctoMom has mental problems. Trying to look like a famous actress and having 14 kids for attention and money. No job, no money to pay for the delivery or to take care of these kids. This person is sick!
she totally got plastic surgery! she’s the nations biggest liar! I hope Angelina Jolie doesn’t feel sorry for her!
What part of “plastic surgery” does she not understand? Did she think she was having another invetro procedure?
She’s a compulsive liar with delusions. The children should be removed from her care and she should be evaluated in a mental hospital.
This is so horrible that it’s almost funny! Immediately after I saw her face for the first time, I told my friends, “She’s obviously trying to ‘channel’ Angelina Jolie.” Now it’s evident, evne to surgeons. What’s horrible is that 14 innocent children will suffer for the rest of their lives because of her obsession/psychosis. Why didn’t somebody, such as her parents, stop her? The docs could have requested a psych eval. Where did she get the money for plastic surgery and IVF? These procedures are expensive–I know that welfare and disability would NOT come close to covering the cost of these procedures.
She just had 8 kids at once. Yes, she is a nut job, but dont you think she may have swollen up just a little?
Her face looks so rubbery and scary. I think she looks more like Cat Lady than Angelina.
Every one knows the truth of this womans intent. That intent was to give birth to kids out of wedlock, utilizing modern day medical technology, where the end result would be that she has no idea of whom the father is, where hes located, in order to qualify for public assistance. Here we have people whom defame iundocumented immigrants calling them every name in the book, yet you have a young woman whos excessively abused the welfare system and shes a legal citizen.
What she we do with her. Her actions and decisions should not burden those children shes conceived. However, in time the overwhelming responsibilty and obligations she has to all those kids will indeed be felt, and the consequences may be detrimental to the over all health of those children. I could careless at this time what she desires to physically alter, for its apparant that one thing she wont pursue is menatal health assistance. Its time that the state take action, by one removing those kids from her custody. Secondly place a lien on all of her valuable assets, and third getting a court order that mandates that she repay in its entirety the amount of state assistance shes recieved over the years.
We do not need to experience another case similar to that of ” Casey Anthony ” of FL, when immediate action to prevent any future disasters can be taken, NOW!
Anyone who is okay with this sad sick woman and her insane behaviour is just as pathetic as she is, and likely an unemployed leach as well.
How is it even legal for someone getting government aid to have IVF procedures to have more children? But far beyond the issue of our tax dollars supporting this is the fact that this mentally unbalanced person will now likely damage 14 children. The kids should not have to suffer for this persons sickness.
Of course she has had plastic surgery and she did it while collecting welfare. Why has the State of California not started an investigation into welfare fraud?
Ahhhh! Don’t mention that “Suleman already has brown eyes”, pointing out that glaring difference between her and the beautiful Angelina Jolie (whose eyes are strikingly lighter–perhaps green or grey?). This will only cause her to spend more money in her attempt to look more like her!
Stop giving this lady media attention, take the children into protective custody and look into prosecuting her for welfare fraud
Please stop giving this lunatic piece of garbage so much attention. Please…somebody lock her up and adopt those spawn out.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even bad publicity is good enough for her because she wants her own show. She’s so selfish that she brought 14 kids into the world for her own narcissistic delusions.
Yay!! they quoted my cousin!
Good grief!!! Of course she’s had plastic surgery but why should we care? The negative media attention demeans more than this woman. The ones making the most of this are as questionable as she is.
