Catherine Reitman, the creator, and star of the Netflix show Workin Moms has lately been in the headlines, and let us tell you it’s not because of her performance as Kate Foster in the show but instead because of her upper lip.
The eagle-eyed fans of the Netflix sitcom Workin Moms saw that Catherine Reitman’s lips look different now. She has a distinctly thin top lip underneath her cupid’s bow, however, both sides of her upper lip seem perfectly plump. Continue reading further to learn whether the actress underwent lips surgery or not.
What happened to Catherine Reitman’s lips?
In the Canadian series, Workin Moms, we have seen Catherine Reitman make fun of her own lips but when we talk about real life, she has never spoken about her pout or the cyberbullying that she faces online due to her upper lip.
To date, the mom of two has never addressed the topic of lips surgery in the public. She has not confirmed whether her lips are a result of a ‘botched’ procedure or not. According to various reports, Catherine was the victim of a rogue plastic surgeon who injected her lips with silicone. It has been stated that the plastic surgeon was actually helped by Botched doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif.
Some reports have claimed that the Los Angeles-born star developed a granulomas after her cosmetic surgery went wrong. The reports stated that her lips are an outcome of a mass of tissue as a result of infection, inflammation, or the presence of a foreign substance, and was unable to close her mouth.
In the past, we have seen that various websites, tend to use a before image from the TV show named Botched, which has an uncanny resemblance to Catherine to compare her lips now and then. As of now, she has not confirmed the rumors regarding her lips surgery.
While growing up, Catherine was bullied due to her physical appearance
At the moment, Catherine is married to the actor Philip Sternberg who plays the role of her husband in the show Workin Moms. He essays the role of Nathan Foster in the hit show.
Back in the day, the California native revealed that she was bullied for being a ‘really awkward-looking kid’ and her classmates would often call her names such as ‘horse mouth.’
In one scene from the first episode of season 1 of the show Workin Moms, Reitman penned down a line where her boss made fun of her for her mouth.
In the sitcom, Catherine plays the role of Kate Foster, a harried advertising executive, and new mom. Over the years, she has received good feedback for her performance in the show from the side of viewers as well as critics.

Lip on the sides but no lip in the middle.”

A user tweeted, “I love your mouth. (In a normal way, of course). And thanks for the bada** show for moms like us.” A user wrote, “@reitcatou weird mouth but i still love you,” to which Catherine replied, ‘I mean, I’ll take it.’
Apart from plastic surgery, Catherine suffered postpartum depression
Catherine suffered postpartum depression after welcoming her and Philip’s baby boy into the world. She is a proud mom of two sons: Jackson and Liam. She made use of her postpartum depression to create the show Workin Moms. She was ready to laugh through the pain.
In an essay for Glamour magazine, the 41-year-old wrote, “By fleshing out my sadness, exposing the strange and funny angles to it, I began to recognize the ‘me’ that I was prior to having my son.”
Catherine further added, “So I committed to retelling the postpartum scenes I had lived, but with one glaring change: I wrote myself as four different characters who I knew would outgrow this period.”
Reitman went on to say, “While I felt hopelessness, ‘Kate Foster’ would persevere. She could outwit her darkest moments while rocking a skirt suit that screamed ‘I know who I am!’ I could sit in a pile of fear and tears at my computer, but the women I scribed were barreling forward and speaking their truths.”
What are your thoughts on Catherine Reitman’s lips? Do you think she underwent the knife to enhance the shape of her lips? Kindly let us know in the comments section below.
I think it doesn’t matter. Isn’t everyone beautiful in their own way. Do we have to look like we’ve had a ton of plastic surgery so that we can all be Kardashian fake? Is Catherine Reitman a good actress, do you like her show, do you think that you are perfect. Then either stop watching her show, or just shut up and accept every human for how imperfect we all are. Enough with the judging already. Does it make you feel better about yourself when you tear others apart. Let’s see pictures of how perfect you are, and how you feel when we judge you.
I want to watch the show and be supportive if this woman but her lips are annoying and distracting – if she had botched surgery she can surely get it corrected .
One, that’s rude af. They aren’t distracting. Two, she should get it corrected because you’re a rude human? She looks beautiful. And honestly I wondered if she was maybe born this way. I honestly think her lips oddly suit her well. She looks beautiful. Maybe try not to be a jerk.
Agree. I just started watching the show and found it hilarious. Was planning to watch the whole series available but there was a spot with her in bed with her husband and they did an up close on her lips. Those sacks that hang down on both sides are so gross. I was thinking, how can he find that attractive and want to kiss her. Now that’s all I can focus on. Not sure if this is the show for me. Why doesn’t she have those sacks surgically corrected. It’s obvious she had a botch surgery like Lisa Rinna whose lips do the same thing. Blecht!
Wilma Flintstone?
Deciding not to watch a show solely based on someone’s appearance, let alone a single physical trait is beyond ignorant or egotistical. I’m not sure what the word for it would be, but I’m sure you must be a super model with zero flaws, correct? I’m mind blown every episode by how stunning that woman is. That’s not even the point and you surely don’t have to agree with my opinion, but I hope you and others alike get ignored and shut down in life at least a few times for a physical trait of your own. Not that any of you will make that brilliant woman any less successful though, so that’s the beauty of it all. Go look in the mirror and hope it doesn’t crack because damn, you’re ugly.
You realize you are bad at being a human being right? My cat has more empathy than you, and he eats birds.
Maybe stop your cat from eating birds?
No question her mouth is really distracting and ugly and results from botched surgery. say what you want about her talent, claim as much as you want that it’s genetic (and on that point yes her father had a chipmunk look but sorry, not the two bumps on either side of a thin middle) her mouth remains distracting and ugly. Period
She is awesome and beautiful and you are just a waste of oxygen
Oh, it sounds like you might be a wee bit jealous?
Catherine is smart, funny and sexy and her lips make her very unique.
She obviously feels great about herself lips and all.
So sad that you have so little self esteem that you feel the need to tear other people down to your level.
Maybe some therapy?
