Did Erin Undergo A Cosmetic Procedure?
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media react to Erin’s latest IG post. It’s about her sister Tori’s birth for her sixth child. Erin wrote, “Tennessee. So proud of my sister @bobby_torilayne_smith ?? Baby Gage is precious! I made so many memories with my little pumpkin and Charles! ☺️.” But what caught many people’s attention was Erin’s lips, which appeared to have gotten bigger. This led to speculations that Erin may have undergone lip filler. The OP wrote, “Erin is back with her Botox and lip fillers to show her sisters how it’s really done and I am heeeeeeeeere for it.” However, others defend her, saying that most Bates daughters are naturally beautiful.

- “Are all these girls getting filler?”
- “No I just don’t think people can comprehend that some women have naturally full lips. Josie is the only one I would say could possibly have work done imo.”
- “I can’t disagree with you…..very good looking girls.”
- “Carlin is 100% getting lip filler. Compare pictures from before she got married and now. The appearance is drastically different.”
- “I love the glasses on her ❤️”
- “She’s beautiful!”
- “Every Bates girl is gorgeous.”

This wasn’t the first time the Bates daughters were rumored to have undergone cosmetic procedures. Both Josie and Carlin have denied surgery allegations, though they’ve been open about living lavish lifestyles, far from what they used to have. The two also underwent microneedling together, and they consider it rewards for themselves as mothers.
