A photograph that apparently shows pop princess Cheryl Cole with hugely inflated lips has been published online.

The photograph, published by Cole herself on Twitter and picked up by Metro online, actually shows the 28-year-old posing wearing a large pair of bright red rubber lips. She also wore a pair of oversized sunglasses and tweeted jokingly about being in LA for too long.

“I think we’ve been in LA too long.. LMHO!! [laughing my head off],” she wrote.

The cosmetic surgery industry has noticed a boom in the number of liposuction enquiries, following publication of pictures of Cheryl Cole’s ‘cankles’.

‘Cankles’, a term used to describe the merging of the calf and the ankle, have been spotted on the Geordie pop star, and more real women with the same problem are opting for body-shaping surgery to give their legs increased definition.

Other celebrities have been spotted with cankles and in a recent interview, television presenter Davina McCall admitted that cankles were among her worst features, along with cellulite and ‘flabby knees’.

Liposuction surgery can be used to remove excess fat from the ankle area which in turn will emphasise the difference in circumference of ankle and calf, and increase bone definition in the area.

Experts suggest that the same cosmetic surgery procedure can also be used to shape knees, thighs, buttocks and upper arms.
