As opposed to the celebrities known for tv and movie work, some of the reality stars are refreshingly honest about the fact that they get work done. (Not all of them of course) They’ll admit to procedures, they’ll allow cameras to film them at the dermatologist for their shows and they’ll even post to social media about it. (They’ll also equivocate and claim they haven’t had plastic surgery when they’ve had injectables, but that’s another issue.)
That’s why I’m interested that Snooki, 28, Snapchatted her “first” Botox jab at her doctor’s office, where she also got her lips replumped. Instead of letting us see before and after photos or videos she applied one of those Snapchat masks to her face afterwards. I can’t blame her, her lips are probably huge and have not yet settled into their still-comical, semi-permanent pillow state. Plus she must know that if she waits a few days she’ll be able to take advantage of another news cycle. Snooki is 28, in no way does she “need” Botox (although it’s doubtful anyone needs it), but in the circles she runs in it’s probably time for her to get it. Her buddy J-Woww, 30, has already injected her face into waxy oblivion.
Snooki did one of those “Snapchat stories” where she posted brief videos explaining the experience as she went through it. You can see the video below and the injections start at about :30 in. Her lips are so huge during the Botox segment that I can’t tell if she still has a filter on the video, if she already had them injected and the videos are out of order, or if they looked that huge before. Judging from recent photos, her lips were already very jacked. In case you can’t watch the video or would find it annoying (you will find it annoying) here’s what happens.
Today I’m getting needles in my face. Getting my first Botox to my forehead and I’m doing a little plump in my lips too. Here we go guys, oh my God. [Gets Botox injections] Mommy!
Ok, first Botox was not bad at all. They put a vibrator on my forehead and then a needle. Still scary.

So that’s Snooki now. She used to be known for peeing at nightclubs, being drunk in public and crashing her car into people but she’s since embraced fitness, gotten married, had two babies and now she’s shown us her “first” Botox injections. She’s really grown up in front of our eyes.
This is Snooki in February on Kocktails with Khloe. She was looking pretty altered back then too. Maybe all her makeup is throwing it off.
Here’s an instagram from two days ago with J-Woww. Snooki’s lips just open they’re so overinflated. Is this before she got them replumped? She didn’t need it.

I’m so uncomfortable with a society that both shames women for aging and shames them for botched cosmetic procedures. I don’t find this particular look attractive or even confortable but I can’t bring myself to have an opinion. we all do our best to be happy with ourselves.
Wow..this might be the nicest, most fair first comment I’ve ever read around here.
Seriously, COTD!
The sad thing is, jenni and snooki are naturally pretty. They didn’t need all that plastic surgery. And that’s not snooki’s first Botox. Why?why?why?
Jenni went way too far with the procedures. If she was my best friend, I’d stay away from all the procedures.
All I can ever see or hear when someone mentions Snookie is the South Park version of her, muttering, “Snookie want smush-smush” in the episode where New Jersey takes over most of the US.
Serious question, so when a person( I have heard of men getting this done) gets their lips injected/plumped etc. Doesn’t that mean the skin stretches and they must continue to do it or their lips sag because of the excess skin?
I haven’t had lip fillers but I have discussed them with the doctor who does my Botox. She says lips slowly return to what they were prior to the injection. No stretching, no new wrinkles.
Is it that way with fillers too?
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was speaking about fillers. Injectables don’t stretch the lips or create new wrinkles. Botox isn’t used to plump lips.
Yeah that’s a total misconception.
So fillers in the lips are the same product as fillers in your face? I was wondering about facial fillers, I have the type of face that gets thinner as you age. I guess I thought it was different than what you use in your face.
@Snowflake
They can be! When I was talking to my doc about fillers, she advised the product is sold by full syringe only (hygiene reasons), but any of the syringe not used in the lips could be injected into the nasolabial folds, cheeks, or under eye area.
when did jwoww become so thin(not shaming, just interested)?? She looked great before, still does though imo
WOW. (or Jwow, as it were). She looks very thin!
Ya know what it might be…? Where the hell did her implants go? (If she got them removed, good for her. She’s gorgeous regardless).
Once she got new teeth (veneers), it completely changed her face. They are disproportionately huge and are all I can see. She’s such a teeny girl, all those procedures are too much for her.
Yeah the veneers are SO awful. Were her original teeth even that bad? I don’t remember them being noticeably gross or anything.
They were crooked/crammed, but regular braces would have done a better job for a prettier smile. The veneers are too big and noticeable, not to mention they seem to make it hard to speak naturally because your lips can’t go where they used to. I’ve noticed that with Gwen Stefani, LeAnne Rhymes, Miley Cyrus, Tom Cruise, Hillary Duff, Meghan Fox, etc.
I just Googled “Bad Veneers” and Snooki’s picture popped up. LOL
that snapshot of her makes her look like a goth courtney stodden. the lips are so similar because they’re not real lol.
She looks ridiculous to me but at least she’s not denying that she gets work done like 90% of the celebs out there.
These women really know how to keep themselves working. It’s seven years after Jersey Shore first came out! I have to hand it to them for having cultivated such a loyal fan base.
This “full lips” beauty ideal is making every celebrity/famous instagram MUAs looking they just got hit in the lips or got seafood allergy or something. Not everyone can pull off big lips. I find it sad that people need to alter themselves so much instead of embracing what they have, most of the time they didn’t even need to change anything. But yeah, your body your choice.
She made herself freakish. Wtf fake ass Jersey girl.
My god! She cannot win with you people! She was made fun of relentlessly when she was overweight with crooked teeth. Now she is at a healthy weight and decided to do some cosmetic changes to enhance her looks and she still gets sh*t for it. She looks great and I am willing to bet she looks better than 90% of the people on this site. You all love to tear women apart. It’s disgusting.
Hi Snooki! (Jk, kind of)
To be clear…I don’t recall an overwhelming amount of criticism on her physical characteristics (from this site), now….about her past wild behavior & hideous fashion? Sure! A lot of us did it! But its not very well tolerated around here to shame women on physicalities they were born with. When it does happen, most people get called out pretty quickly. This is one of the sane corners of the Internet.
Actually, I’ve noticed more and more recently on this site how much the readers are commenting harshly on women’s looks whether they are born with them or altered by plastic surgery. I used to love this site b/c the commentary was intelligent and interesting. Now it’s mostly just plain rude and condescending. I know this is a gossip site but we are better than this. This is Celebitchy, not tmz.
Please! Snooki has been stuck on herself since long before Jersey Shore. She may have been short, chunky and had crooked teeth but she still had all that when she cried to a judge that she was too pretty for jail.
Snookie does what she does to herself not because of the public or social pressure. She does it because Snooki is self-absorbed and has no idea how she should be spending or NOT spending her money. The only flack she got from the public was for her outrageous behavior.
I’m willing to bet she does not look better than 90% of the people on this site.
We only tear down women who make the rest of look bad with their obsession of their own physicality. We are all normal people with regular jobs and perspectives we share. Most of us are emotionally stable and navigate the real world with a healthy attitude. Seeing freak after freak taking us two steps back for every three steps forward is maddening.
Surely you understand people commenting on her looks because she opened herself up to being commented on about her looks when she documented a procedure to alter her looks and showed it to the world full of people guaranteed to comment on her looks. Get it? Good.
UGH. Why do people do this to themselves? It NEVER looks natural; if you can tell, what’s the point?
