Rinna's 'Freakish' Face: Cosmetic Mishap Goes Viral
13 Mar
Summary
- A trendy skin booster treatment caused Lisa Rinna's cheeks to swell unnaturally.
- Rinna's 'freakish' appearance went viral, drawing harsh criticism online.
- The celebrity found the experience traumatizing but had the treatment reversed.
Lisa Rinna has revealed a distressing incident where a cosmetic treatment led to a 'freakish' appearance during a red carpet event. Shortly before the 2024 Fashion Trust Awards, an esthetician administered an injectable skin booster called SKINVIVE around Rinna's cheeks.
Rinna explained that the SKINVIVE, combined with recent Botox for TMJ, caused her cheeks to swell and her jawline to atrophy, resulting in an unnatural look. This 'freakish' appearance was captured in photographs that quickly went viral online, drawing significant negative attention.
Beauty influencers and social media users widely shared and criticized Rinna's altered appearance, making the experience deeply humiliating for her. She immediately sought help from her dermatologist, who reversed the SKINVIVE treatment, with her face returning to normal within days.
Despite her negative experience, Rinna's daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin, is a proponent of SKINVIVE, describing it as a moisturizer injection. Rinna herself maintains that most of her cosmetic work has been successful, emphasizing the value of subtle, undetectable enhancements, a trend favored by many Hollywood celebrities.
