Has Lisa Rinna had a facelift?
She has not confirmed one. What Lisa Rinna has confirmed is lip work: silicone injections in her 20s, then a 2010 lip reduction to remove the scar tissue they had formed. She has discussed cosmetic procedures openly on Real Housewives. At 62, plastic surgeons note her maintained facial structure as consistent with a conservative SMAS or deep plane facelift. Her candidness about her lips, and the permanence of silicone compared with today's reversible fillers, makes her a reference point in the injectables vs. surgery discussion.
Lisa Rinna Plastic Surgery: The Lip Regret Story
Lisa Rinna is one of the most recognized examples of permanent lip injections in Hollywood. She received silicone injections in her upper lip in her 20s and, in 2010, had lip reduction surgery to remove the scar tissue they had formed.
Her words and reports
- Silicone lip injections (confirmed): received silicone injections in her upper lip in her 20s
- Lip reduction, 2010 (confirmed): surgery to remove the scar tissue the silicone had formed; she said "You can see my teeth when I smile now, which you couldn't do for a while" (Bravo, 2026)
- Toxin (reported): per Fox News (2014), she "has admitted to getting Botox injections every three months"; we found no direct quote from her
Her Story and Its Lessons
- Public regret: has openly discussed her regret about lip work; advocates for natural approaches and cautions younger women against following trends
- The industry pressure narrative: frames her lip injections as responding to industry pressure in the 1980s-90s — a period when larger lips were strongly associated with female attractiveness in Hollywood
- Current appearance: after the 2010 reduction her lips appear more proportionate; ongoing maintenance with conservative treatments

Lisa Rinna is perhaps best known for her iconic lips — the result of silicone injections in her 20s, corrected in part by a 2010 lip reduction. Beyond her famous lips, Rinna is reported to use Botulinum toxin 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 her 20s, Rinna 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 Hyaluronic acid filler or Hyaluronic acid filler) which dissolve naturally or can be reversed with hyaluronidase, silicone is permanent and extremely difficult to remove.
In 2010 Rinna had lip reduction surgery to remove the scar tissue that had formed around the silicone — not a lip lift, which shortens the space under the nose. She told PEOPLE: "I'd get photographed, my lips would look a certain way, and then people would start to talk," and afterwards: "You can see my teeth when I smile now." Complete removal of silicone risks significant scarring and deformity, and her lips remain fuller than before the injections, but appear more proportionate than at their peak.
Beyond her lip story, Rinna is reported to use Botulinum toxin (Fox News, 2014). 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[2]. Her willingness to discuss her experiences publicly has been educational for many considering cosmetic procedures.
Speculated Timeline
Her 20s — Liquid Silicone Lip Injections (Confirmed)

Removal of the scar tissue the silicone had formed around her upper lip; she discussed it with PEOPLE. Estimated cost: $5,000 - $10,000.

Reported (Fox News, 2014) to have regular Botulinum toxin injections; areas treated are not documented. Estimated cost: $2,000 - $5,000/year.
2020s — Rumored Facelift
Remarkably tight jawline and smooth skin at 62 suggest possible facelift. Experts speculate about SMAS or deep plane technique. Estimated cost: $15,000 - $35,000.
