Amanda Bynes Unveils Her New Look: Lip Fillers and More!

Amanda Bynes, 39, debuted her new look after undergoing a controversial cosmetic procedure

Amanda Bynes' Jaw-Dropping Transformation: Lip Fillers and Ozempic Fuel Speculation

It's been a wild ride for Amanda Bynes, and it looks like she's not done yet! The 39-year-old star has just revealed her new look after undergoing a controversial cosmetic procedure - lip fillers. But that's not all; sources close to the actress have confirmed that she's also using Ozempic as part of her weight loss journey.

The former Nickelodeon star took to her Instagram stories on Friday, where she proudly showed off her fuller lips while driving to her next destination. In a short clip, Amanda could be seen sporting a sleek white halter-styled top and pulled-back locks, highlighting her newfound confidence. But what's really got everyone talking is the caption: "Lips injections by @body.byem" - a Los Angeles-based lash tech and lip fillers business.

The star - who recently got candid about using Ozempic amid her weight loss journey - jumped to her Instagram stories on Friday and revealed to her followers that she got lip fillers

This isn't Amanda's first rodeo with cosmetic procedures; back in 2023, she got candid about undergoing a blepharoplasty (a procedure that removes excess skin from the eyelids) on her social media. She even described it as "one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence." And let's not forget Kylie Jenner, who raved about lip fillers during an interview with HommeGirls in 2023.

"I think a big misconception about me is that I've had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn't!" Kylie shared. "Yeah, I love full lips and wanted full lips, but growing up I was always the most confident person in the room." She even confessed to getting lip fillers because of one small insecurity: "I had my one lip insecurity thing, so I got lip filler, and it was the best thing I've ever done. I don't regret it. But I always thought I was cute."

Now, back to Amanda's latest transformation. Sources close to the actress have revealed that she's been using Ozempic as part of her weight loss journey - a decision that has left fans divided. In an Instagram story earlier this year, Amanda shared her plans to get down to 130 pounds from her current weight of 173 pounds. "I'm going on Ozempic," she wrote. "So excited. I will post about my Ozempic journey of course."

Other celebrities that are known for the procedure include Kylie Jenner - who previously expressed that it was 'the best thing' she has ever done

But this isn't the first time Amanda has spoken out about her body insecurities. Back in 2018, she opened up to Paper Magazine about her struggles with self-image after starring in the 2006 film She's The Man. "When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for 4-6 months because I didn't like how I looked when I was a boy," she shared.

Amanda's past also includes struggles with addiction; she's spoken publicly about using marijuana to cope with her insecurities after seeing herself in Easy A alongside Emma Stone. "I literally couldn't stand my appearance in that movie and I didn't like my performance," she recalled.

After stepping away from acting, Amanda faced multiple arrests for reckless driving, drug possession, and a DUI. In 2013, she was hospitalized for an involuntary psychiatric hold and later placed on a nine-year conservatorship, which ended in 2022. And just last year, she was placed on a 5150 hold (a temporary hold for mental health evaluation) and checked herself into a mental health facility.

Amanda's latest transformation comes not long after she opened up about her weight loss journey in June and shared her plans to start Ozempic to aid in losing pounds

So, what's behind Amanda's latest transformation? Is it a bid to boost her confidence or simply a desire to look good in paparazzi pictures? Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure: she's not afraid to speak her mind and show off her new look on social media. The only question is - what's next?

Amanda Bynes' Ozempic Journey: From 173 Pounds to 130

In a shocking move, Amanda Bynes revealed that she's started taking Ozempic as part of her weight loss journey. But how far will she go? Sources close to the actress have confirmed that she's aiming to lose a staggering 43 pounds from her current weight of 173.

Also last year in March, Amanda opened up to her followers on Instagram and revealed that she 'gained over 20 lbs. in the past few months from being depressed'

Amanda shared her plans on Instagram, writing: "Oh, I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures." She even added a cheeky emoji at the end - a clear indication that she's ready for the spotlight.

But what exactly is Ozempic? For those who don't know, it's a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, in recent years, celebrities have been using it as a weight loss tool - and Amanda Bynes is no exception.

"I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's," Amanda revealed earlier this year, announcing her decision to join the adult content site. "I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join." It seems like she's ready to take on the world - one selfie at a time.

During a past interview with Paper Magazine in 2018, the actress talked about her body insecurities - which she said began after she starred in the 2006 film She's The Man (seen above far right)

The Real Reason Behind Amanda Bynes' Lip Fillers and Ozempic

So, what's behind Amanda's latest transformation? Sources close to the actress have revealed that it's all about confidence - or rather, a lack thereof. "Amanda has always struggled with self-image," a friend shared with The Scholarly Note. "She's tried everything from lip fillers to weight loss pills, and now she's turned to Ozempic."

It seems like Amanda's past struggles with addiction have left her with lingering insecurities. Back in 2018, she opened up about using marijuana to cope with her body image issues after starring in Easy A.

Her insecurities later led to her drug addiction - and Amanda explained to the outlet that she started taking Adderall to help with losing weight

"I literally couldn't stand my appearance in that movie and I didn't like my performance," she recalled. It's clear that the experience had a lasting impact on Amanda - one that she's still grappling with today.

So, is Amanda Bynes' latest transformation just about vanity or something more? Whatever the reason, it's clear that she's not afraid to speak her mind and show off her new look on social media. The only question is - what's next for this actress-turned-reality-star?
