Kate Gosselin needs to stop getting Botox injections, or she'll continue to look like a surprised clown, say plastic surgeons.

"She looked much better in the earlier photo: great hair, nice smile and a normal brow position," cosmetic surgeon Dr. Michael Olding told Us June 24. McDonalds_arches Kate Gosselin plastic surgery Botox before after

'MCDONALD'S ARCHES'

In the "after" photo (at right), "the lateral part of her brow is elevated in an abnormally high position, which my patients refer to as McDonald's arches," says Olding.

The reason for the McDonald's arches is that "the center of her eyebrows are dropped and spread, which can happen from Botox treatment of the forehead frown lines," says Dr. Steven Pearlman, a Manhattan plastic surgeon.

Experts say Kate's bizarrely stretched facial expression occurs when the person giving the Botox injection doesn't have the proper technique. This has become more common lately, since people can now get Botox injections at malls by non-physicians.

Fortunately, Gosselin's facial expression will return to normal if she gets corrective Botox injections above her eyebrows or if she waits for a few months for the effects to fade.

KATE'S EXTREME MAKEOVER

There's no denying that Kate, 35, has undergone a dramatic transformation since 2007, when Kate and ex-husband Jon's reality TV show, Jon and Kate Plus 8, first aired. Since then, Kate has lost weight, gotten a tummy tuck, breast enhancement surgery, dyed and styled her hair. [see slideshow below]

Before becoming a reality tv star, Gosselin was a heavier, brunette version of herself. After getting the tummy tuck and slimming down, Kate maintained her newly slender physique by eating salads and working out on the treadmill or elliptical trainer for an hour every day.

Gosselin also gets a spa treatment once a month and goes to regular tanning sessions. "Once a month I take myself to the spa to get a massage and pedicure," Kate confessed. " I do still feel guilty, but I am a better and healthier mother for doing it."

KATE RETURNING TO THE VIEW

In January 2010, Gosselin made headlines when she flaunted sexy blonde hair extensions on the cover of People magazine. She was criticized for getting the $7,000 hair extensions put in over the course of 20 hours, but insisted she needed the change since her divorce from Jon was finalized in Dec. 2009.

Kate currently stars on her own show, TLC's Kate Plus 8, and will soon premiere a new spinoff, Twist of Kate.

On July 2, Gosselin will return to The View as a guest host, where she'll discuss sunless tanning, summer foods and Fourth of July fashions.

    Wow - she almost looks like Dina Lohan in photo #4. I can't believe TLC is giving her not 1, but 2 more shows!

    Goodness, what's up with her and botox? She isn't that bad looking to start with? Too bad some people are so obsess with not aging. Aging is a normal process. You can't stay 22 forever.

    It's Kinda of a shame..Kate was very pretty as a blonde on the show when it started. Kate was however, incredibly controlling and bossy ..cutting into her attractiveness.I don't dis anyone for losing weight and working out its good for us.The Botox picture is horrifying you did yourself no favors Kate. Please take a page from the Presley lady and quit while you are ahead.Getting to full of yourself is obnoxious and hurts many celebrity personalities. Personall in my next life (lol) I will be back as Jennifer Anniston one classy lady !! I think she has had some help from her friends but she wears it well.
