SHARED BIRTHDAY

A prominent abstainer from cosmetic medicine and a prominent user of  lip-plumping injections share a birthday today.

Actress Jodie Foster, 47, (pictured) says bluntly, “It’s not my thing.” She’d rather hear people say she has a bad nose than say she had a bad nose job, she says.

“I’d rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am,” Foster said.

Actress Meg Ryan, 48, (see slide show above) doesn’t say a lot about plastic surgery, but she has often been criticized for having excessive injections of filler to plump up her lips.

Dermatologist Dr. David Sire of Fullerton, for example, says he sees signs of filler around her mouth and in her lips. She is much fuller there, he says.

The cosmetic work is overdone, he says. “One of the keys of cosmetic enhancement is to leave the person looking natural. The goal is to look relaxed or refreshed, not changed,” Sire says.
