Kidman gives botox a bad name: expert
Nicole Kidman is so over-botoxed she is giving the cosmetic medicine industry a bad name for creating a "bat face" look, a leading Canadian botox expert has told Australian specialists.
The Australian star has denied using the anti-wrinkle treatment, recently saying her look is "completely natural".
But Dr Martin Braun, one of the largest users of botox on the American continent, says there is no doubt Kidman has been an "enthusiastic user".
Dr Braun, who is based in Vancouver, dubbed "Hollywood North", told the Australian cosmetic medicine conference on the Gold Coast that he believed Kidman was "doing too much at the wrong time" with the drug, which works by paralysing muscles and softening the face.
"Nicole seems to get her botox done two or three weeks before a big event so when she, for instance, goes up on stage to collect her Academy Award she looks frozen and strange," Dr Braun told AAP.
"She looks like a bat with too much of an (outer) brow lift, the middle of the brow's been dropped, she's crying when she accepts her Oscar but nothing is moving.
"That's really doing nothing to help our job because we've got women coming to us saying that's what we don't want to look like."
He said users should be getting their injections two to three months out from a big event so the effect had started to wear off, and actors in particular should use minimal product.
"Everything is accentuated on camera so I would say they should be going much easier than they are so they don't look like a doe caught in headlights," Dr Braun said.
"These people who have extraordinary amounts of money and fame are actually getting, in my opinion, poor medical advice."
Dr Gabrielle Caswell, from the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA), agreed Kidman was a likely botox user, saying "she's a bit too wrinkle-free for an Australian of her skin tone".
"She was using a little too much, especially in the forehead," said Dr Caswell, a specialist with clinics in NSW and Queensland.
"Obviously she's not at the moment because she's pregnant but the photos show a lot more expression in her face now."
Dr Caswell said it was industry consensus that other Australian stars like Elle Macpherson and Kylie Minogue also used botox, and Angelina Jolie, the so-called gold standard of beauty, was "a definite".
Dr Braun said he believed 99 per cent of stars in Hollywood or otherwise were botox converts, "they just don't like admitting it, that's all".
Newly-released US statistics show there were 2.7 million botox procedures carried out in 2007, more than all the liposuction, breast augmentation and skin-plumping procedures put together.
The CPSA estimates Australians spent $300 million on non-surgical treatments last year, with the biggest spending on botox.
Comment was being sought from Kidman's publicist.

Brutal … Tom Cruise is a male succubus, look how much older all the women who were involved with him are

20th?
X17 had pics of her with No Botox Resently. She should ease up on the Botox.
Hey Leave my shitface alone! You can sit on it but don't ever EVER shit on it.
HAHA. Oh wow Nicole. FROZEN!
third!?! Creepy. Her face looks like playdoh. All of Hollywood seems to be playing Face Freeze Tag or "Who can look the most unnatural".
OMG leave her ALONE perez and GET OVER YOURSELF. She's such a great actress and nice person - who gives a shit? Pick on someone who deserves it - like Jessica Alba or Elliot Spitzer or LINDSAY!
Re: cheyenne – read the article, idiot!!!
Re: Javeo – GIVE IT UP! FREAK! every post? you do this SHIT on EVERY FUCKING POST!
my next stunt will be
to shit on Nichole's face
for a mud treatment
then, after I have to clean
the shit off with my dick.
I can't stand this B!@#$. She is very mean to her kids and all about her ugly ass. Fake ass Hoe all the way in every way. Go away.
I have wondered for a long time- where are those freckles she had in "Dead Calm"?
She is so anorexic she is losing her hair. Never mind the botox. She needs help
I guess they would kill her,
but she should seriously tell the truth about tom
that's why I hate her and that other thing and his current thing..all liars, gotta hate the liars.
Ah yeah she's a HUGE Botox user. Who cares Nicole - just admit it. Hollywood still loves you since your ex-husband turned into such a big freak. And look at you, all powerful, winning that Oscar by a nose, and now more well known that Tom ever was. Congrats on all the success - but come on girl, fess up, we all know you use Botox - just admit it!
Maybe she should use some Botox in that wrinkly ass neck of hers?
Seriously, why do people have such a problem with her? Is it too much for people to handle that this woman does not fake-n-bake, wears hats while out in the sun, and basically takes very good care of herself. Get off her junk about the damn frozen stuff.
God she looks so old and ugly! Is that white hair I see around her shiney-ass forehead???
So, when I'm kicking back rubbing one off, I DON'T want the picture of that mouth around my tool, you know?
she was beautifull before the botox…..it really fucked up her face
I get Botox done around every 4 to 5 months and I don't look anything like her. I'd stop getting it if my face looked that horrid. Maybe I should send her the name of my doctor. I'm 42 and I look ten years younger than Nicole and 50 times more natural.
She is only 40! She looks so much older than that? Catherine Zeta Jones may lie about her age but Nicole looks at LEAST 10 years older than her!
What about the doctors that are over-botoxing her as they run to the bank with her money?? Are they not accountable??
Sad - she was pretty with the red hair, curls & freckles - now she looks like shit and old to boot. I was thinking of getting some botox for a couple of forehead wrinkles , but man, when I look at her I cancel my appointments!
Re: Brooke – I want the name of your Dr - Im in the Midwest but going to LA next month. But I don't want to look like Nicole Kidman. Post it thanks
Nicole looks great. I just don't get what the doctors are complaining about.
leave her
I swear every time I see a picture of her she looks more like MJ
stop hatin on kidman perez! she is class. focus on the hot messes aighttt
i KNEW angelina was using it! you could tell. i would love to see nicole now if she had NEVER bleached her now gray??? hair, hadn't covered up her freckles with kabuki makeup, and had let herself age naturally. i bet she'd look 1000 X better. naomi watts gets hired before nicole and they're only a year apart. nicole was deemed too "old" for the part naomi got in king kong and naomi is 39 and seems to not use anything on her face. so there you go.
I think bats are cute.
WOW does she look old in that picture.
Must be an extremely boring day there! This story brings nothing but yawn………………..
What a shame. I work for a plastic surgeon on Bal Harbour, who is always in magazines and who has all these over the line people who just want to look younger, skinnier,etc.
Not even he would allow this!
she is too fake, she used to be pretty when she was younger, love keith urban, a big fan, can't see the two of them together. she looks so old. she looked much better with her original red hair, the grey blonde, washes her out.
she is the poster child for botex, her eyebrows look like she had a lift, why can't these stars just be themselves, she looked better before all the work done. it is not natural far from it.
keith urban you can do so much better, what were you thinking, come on, you have it all, and now your saddled with her, and you can tell she is a real diva, and too much into her looks, spend some time with your two adopted kids, and worry about them, working out constantly during your pregnancy, spend time with your kids that are here now, gain some weight, it will make you look younger, and stop lying about your cosmetic surgeries, you looked better in the hours, with your fake nose. poor keith, you should have dated naomi watts shes a natural beauty, and australian.
Nicole Kidman is only 40??!!! Her neck looks 20 years older than her real age! She's got jowels starting !
She has had Botox? Damn, I'd get my money back if I were her.
Thank God most black women don't have to use this crap! We have a natural tan and don't have to bake in the sun or use tanning beds. I don't believe Angelina Jolie is using this crap! Hell, she's 32! I was still being 'carded' at 32 to buy booze or get into a club. Perez needs to quit hatin', it's not a good look…
Dubbed "Hollywood North" Vancouver is nothing like Hollywood…not even close people!!!!!!!!!
she is pathetic. like we don't know she's desperate to save any of her youth. when will Hollywood stars begin to realize how stupid they look being in their 40's with no wrinkles.
Nicole and that dumb redhead from Desperate Housewives need a lesson in classic beauty… STOP BUTCHERING YOUR FACES YOU DUMB BITCHES! None of us are fooled, and you dumbasses just end up looking like the fools.
Makes me sick. Wrinkles are cool god damnit.
TRULY UNATTRACTIVE. WHY DOES SHE NEED BOTOX AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, ANYWAY? BECAUSE SHE'S NOT PRETTY. AND I HATE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUCH HUGE GUMS THAT SHOW LIKE THAT. ICK.
I LOVE NICOLE!!
.
this is such a non-story….why do you hate her so much?
.
Perez, all of your bad energy will come back to you over & over again.
She looks too old for Keith Urban even though they are very close in age. Kidman has aged a lot in the past 2 years.
"i'm melting, melting, meltiiiiiiiinnnnngggg AHHHHH!"
Go for it Nicole! Don't let anyone influence your decision to use Botox. It's your face and you can do bloody hell whatever you want with it…you look fine!
What happened to her? She used to be gorgeous.
What is up with her eyebrows?? Why are they all smudged and sweaty!
she looks olddddddddddddddddddddd in this pict!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks so terrible, she looks more like an old lady with her face all creepily frozen that way! I hope she stops while she is preggers!
Her hair is horrible and really thin looking now… She has really aged in the past couple of years! Yikes! she looks like Keith's Mother.
Re: Brooke – That's what you think…ask someone who would give you an objective opinion. It's obvious on everyone…you're injecting poison into your face because you are so VAIN that you can't age appropriately. You should put the money into counselling instead of that krap. You still look your age, wrinkled or not…the hair, boobs, ass, stomach etc etc it gives it away. And if you are doctoring all that too..well then its TOTALLY OBVIOUS zombie freak!!
…. Weird.
She actually looks quite a lot like the Queen, IMO.
Sorry - she looks far better for her age than most women.
Like it or not, most her age are a whole lot more wrinkled, and that's far more gross.
she looks HORRIBLE. its funny that her definition of "natural" is not what we expect. I don't understand why people overdo this kind of stuff. Why not age gracefully, by accepting who you are?
It's wrong to expect to look 25 when you are double that age. I can't believe that she is the same person I saw in "Eyes Wide Shut". She was so pretty in that.
You should have run the picture that appear in the Daily Mail where she was compared to a bat, next to her face. One comment was that she was preparing for her next movie: Batface Returns. Not aging gracefully, to put it mildly.
She's starting to look like Viggo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2
poor keith urban, he is sooooo gorgeous, what was he thinking? come on he can have anyone, i think he felt sorry for her. lately, all her movies have sucked, and she looks terrible. natural my ass, come on, and her teeth look to small, just admit you've had work done, and stop! it is not helping, shes lucky she's pregnant, she needs to concentrate on someone beside herself. i can't imagine her and keith urban, i don't get it. not to mention shes a foot taller than him. keith rocks and nicole well no much. i think she has made
keith urban feel so guilty he is just stuck with cruella. nicole get a clue.
if there is one thing i can say about nicole, is that shes honest. you should listen to her speak, she doesnt know how to say anything but the truth. if she says she doesnt use botox, i am inclined to believe her. the thing is…this picture was a REALLY old one, and also, everyone takes bad pictures. i could contort my face so that it looks like i have had botox treatments, but i havent-im young still. she IS gorgeous. a great actress. and perez, i actually think your jealous of her. her skin has no wrinkles because she is healthy, stays out of the sun, and is ONLY 40. its not like shes 60
i dont like her!
lol C=
She can be so classy. Why ruin it?
Why does everyone think she is so beautiful? She looks like an anorexic translucent wax face. I thought she looked OK in Dead Calm when she had red hair and a little meat on her bones. After that, not so much. She's got no shape, no boobs and no upper lip. Not my type of woman.
She looks like someone's nanna.
Nicole Kidman gets Botox from Dr. Patricia Wexler in NYC… I work in the same building and see her there all the time!
Damn! That's one ugly pic of the World's Biggest Mouth Breather. She couldn't keep her mouth shut if it was sewn together…but I digress. Those neck wrinkles of hers are hiding any number of missing persons or small European countries.
Re: dorothy –
keith Urban looks like some kind of gay euro cowboy designer freak of nature. This all seemed to happen once he started it up with Nicole. The two of them are not healthy for each other. They both were good looking and now that they are together are starting to look very wierd.
Re: sara – Keith Urban is starting to look like he is about to come out of the closet.
Whoever is stylist is should be fired.
ME THINKS YOU NEED BOTOX
PERIOD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My 2 year old gives me the same face when she doesnt feel like taking pictures, HA
Nicole doesnt need botox. What the hell does she feel like she needs it to keep up with the youngins?
I would love to lick her…..
The point is she lies about using botox . Also didnt she smoke before she got pregnant? In my book she is not healthy then. She is ridiculously pale cause she gets her skin ( and anus from what i hear) Bleached!
Why are so many people ruining their faces with Botox? Ugh.
Your wacked Nicole is a true beauty! One of the few in her age bracket. Leave Nicole alone! And focus on yourself.
Kidman would look heaps better if she laid off the botox and actually ate a burger or something once in a while. She more than likely has that sagging flesh in her neck because she has next to no fat in her skin. Extremely thin people tend to have way more wrinkles than people of similar age who eat properly, hence why she's been OD-ing on Botox.
So what? She doesn't want tons of wrinkles. You can't win in Hollywood - too many wrinkles you are a "rasin face", you do Botox everyone wants to call you out and say you are "fake". Live and let live.
I'm at Aussie and even I cannot stand her. She's made a couple of alright movies in the past but hasn't done anything decent for years but she's considered some kind of big Hollywood star. She's completely removed all traces of her old self and has zapped away any freckles and red hair that she used to have, she looks like a freak now. The only reason Hollywood pays her any attention is because I think they feel sorry for her that she used to be married to such a nutcase. Sorry but she comes across as a really cold and un-emotional kind of person, but then again that's probably because of all the botox pumped into her face.
who cares/she has more money than God
Re: Shanna – Oh Shanman, before you have a hissy all over poor Brooke, get your facts straight. Botox does not have to be a slippery slope. Many people use it, as they would any cosmetic, to enhance their features. And yes, you can use it without anyone knowing, you just have to be conservative in how much you use and where you use it. And Shamu, it is temporary. If you don't like the way it looks. You don't use it again. It goes away. Like we all wish you would.
keith urban is hot nicole kidman is not. i don't know why she is so popular, she hasn't had any good movies lately, she neglects her adopted children, and i think keith and her relationship is all about her. he is the one flying back and forth from the states to australia, during his concerts (which are awesome, great performer, wonderful guitar player, ) for their marriage, and she just thinks she's queen, she deserves tom cruise and all his weirdness, not keith. i feel sorry for the new baby keith will probably be the one taking care of it. you know she's not going to breast feed, good forbide she get a wrinkle on her boob, she is such a boob, grow up nicole, you get older, you age you wrinkle, the end. get out of hollywood your movies suck and become human again. you have a great husband don't blow it.
keith is hot, nicole is not. i'm sorry but her movies suck, she neglects her kids, she deserves nut job tom cruise. keith is too good for her, i've seen him in concert, awesome performer, and guitar player, he flys back and forth from the states, to australia to keep their marriage going, she doesn't realize what a great catch she has. she needs to grow up, age and act like a human and life is more about other things, than wrinkles. you know she won't breast feed, because she won't want to ruin her boobs. she is a boob. nicole leave hollywood and become a person. act normal you are starting to resemble, micheal jackson "scary" . keith will be taking care of the baby, because she will be too busy excersing and getting botox. keith is not gay far from it, marrying nicole, has been a downfall from him. he should have waited, but her biological clock was ticking, and she pressured him into marrying her, he wasn't ready that is why he ended up in rehab 4 months after marrying her, get a clue nicole, but she needed the sperm.
