Did Katrina undergo a lip surgery?
Katrina Kaif has come back from her recent holiday in Italy and there's something different about her. The actress who has been often voted as the sexiest actress in B-Town, returned with fuller lips than she left with. Says a source, "Katrina has always wanted shapelier lips. She recently returned from a long holiday — almost three weeks. During her trip to the USA for the Independence Day parade in Houston and Chicago, everyone first noticed the marked change in her appearance. Her lips were still puffy at the time, but now the swelling has vanished."
What's Roaccutane?
Roaccutane is a vitamin A derivative (13-cis-retinoic acid) which is administered orally in pill form, normally for 15-20 weeks (3.5-4.5 months). It was originally prescribed for people with severe acne that did not respond to other treatments, but has gained in popularity in the past 25 years. This practice is controversial because Accutane is a serious medication and causes side effects which can be as devastating as they are widespread. Apart from severe allergy and other side effects Roaccutane can also have inflammation of the lips or cheilitis as another side effect.
Katrina
Kaif
says,
"It's
not
true.
I
have
not
had
any
work
done
on
my
lips
and
to
say
that
is
ridiculous."
A
source
close
to
Katrina
adds,
"She
can't
afford
to
take
any
medication
right
now
as
she's
on
a
very
strong
medication
for
her
skin.
It
is
called
Roaccutane
and
she's
under
treatment
for
it
under
Dr
Neena
,
a
cosmetologist
from
Mumbai,
for
the
last
six
months
and
will
be
under
medication
for
six
months
more.
The
medicine
is
so
strong
that
Katrina
can't
take
any
other
medicine
during
this
time
and
in
fact,
because
Roaccutane
is
so
harsh
it
gives
rise
to
swollen,
dry
and
chapped
lips
—
which
gives
the
impression
as
if
she
has
done
something
to
her
lips."
