RUMOR: ADRIANA LIMA USES COLLAGEN TO ENHANCE HER LIPS!

Rumor has it that supermodel Adriana Lima has used cosmetic surgery to enhance her lips. The propogators of this rumor rely on picture comparisons like the one below to back up their claims:

The first picture is a candid taken at the "Perfect Stranger" premiere. The second picture is from a professional Maybelline photo shoot.

One could make the postulation that Adriana is tightening her lips in the first picture, thus giving her lips a tighter appearance. One could also make the postulation that, in the second picture, her lips are more relaxed and possibly pouted, thus giving her lips a fuller appearance. Furthermore, there is a strong suggestion that a powerful lip stick and lip gloss have been applied to enhance the effect of her lips in the second picture. That suggestion is NOT lessened by the fact that this is an ad for one of the largest cosmetic giants in the world.

But let's take the whole investigation a little further; let's examine two candids taken within mere seconds of each other. The following candids were taken of Adriana as she arrives in Los Angeles Airport.

Let's take a closer look:

In the second picture Adriana's upper lip appears quite full. In the first picture her upper lip is almost non-existant.

Possible explanation #1: In the first picture her lips are stretched, thus appearing smaller. In the second picture her lips are relaxed, thus revealing their natural size and shape.

Possible explanation #2: Between the first and the second picture, within the timespan of a few seconds, Adriana magically beamed herself up and transported herself to the nearest plastic surgeon where she had collagen injected into her lips. She then beamed herself back to Los Angeles Airport, appearing in front of the exact same paparazzi and sporting the exact same clothes, sun glasses and water bottle -- but revealing... wait for it... wait for it... FAKE LIPS.

My conclusion?
