Meghan Trainor’s lips are movin’ again.
The singer says “the movement is coming back” to her face after a recent botox blunder left her physically unable to smile.
Trainor, 30, revealed exactly what happened on the Thursday, December 12 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna.
“I got what’s called a lip flip,” she explained. “It was my first ever. And everyone was like, ‘You’re gonna love it, you little lips.’ And I didn’t love it because I couldn’t smile and I was like —”
Trainor then contorted her face, attempting to show the cohosts what she looked like post-Botox fail.
Despite the experience being what she called “the most painful thing,” Trainor was able to look back on it with humor, even going so far as to poke fun at herself for not realizing what she was getting into.
“And I was like, ‘This is gonna look great!’ And my dad walked in while I was having it, and I was like, ‘Oh no,'” she explained, adding that she received additional Botox.“in my jaw because they say it can help you with clenching.” She believes “the mixture of the two” led to the overall Botox debacle.
Today cohost Jenna Bush Hager joked that Trainor could now give a PSA about the possible risks of Botox injections. Turns out, Trainor did exactly that on the November 20 episode of her “Workin On It” podcast.
“To all my fellow girlies out there who’s in your 30s: Hi, I got too much Botox. I need help,” she said with a laugh. “I messed up. Listen, I’ve had Botox, like, a handful of times … just in my forehead and someone convinced me, with my little lips, that if you did a lip flip, you put filler right above your upper lip that you could have a beautiful flip on your upper lip. And I could have one for the first time in my whole 30 years of living. It was not true.”
Although her Botox experience did not go as planned, Trainor has explained why she wanted the treatment in the first place.
“I just want to freeze myself right here. I want to look like this forever,” she said on an August 2023 episode of her podcast. “But I don’t need Botox as much as they say. Mine lasts so long, it’s great.”
The incident has not deterred Trainor from exploring additional cosmetic procedures, either. In fact, said she plans to get a boob job.
“My mommy boobies were full of milk and now they’re empty and then they’re full of milk and now they’re empty,” she explained. “They got big, they got small, they got big, they got small. I’ve lost some weight and I have, like, saggy sacks as boobs.”
