Lisa Rinna is perhaps best known for her iconic lips — the result of a silicone injection in the 1980s that she has since had partially corrected. Beyond her famous lips, Rinna has been open about using Botox and is rumored to have had facelift procedures. Her case is notable as an example of how a single procedure can define a celebrity's public image for decades.
In the 1980s, when Rinna was a young soap opera actress on Days of Our Lives, she received liquid silicone injections in her upper lip. At the time, silicone injections were a common lip augmentation method, but the material is now largely banned for cosmetic use due to the risk of granulomas, migration, and permanent disfigurement. Unlike modern hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Juvederm or Restylane) which dissolve naturally or can be reversed with hyaluronidase, silicone is permanent and extremely difficult to remove.
Rinna underwent corrective surgery in 2010 to reduce the size of her lips after the silicone began causing problems. She has been open about this experience on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, discussing how the silicone had hardened over time and become uncomfortable. The corrective procedure removed some but not all of the silicone, as complete removal risks significant scarring and deformity. Her lips remain fuller than natural but appear more proportionate than at their peak.
Beyond her lip story, Rinna has been forthright about using Botox and has joked about being a "Botox queen." At 62, her remarkably smooth skin and tight jawline have led experts to speculate about possible facelift procedures. Rinna represents an important generational case study: someone who experienced both the worst of outdated cosmetic practices (permanent silicone injections) and the more refined approaches available today. Her willingness to discuss her experiences publicly has been educational for many considering cosmetic procedures.
