Did Bruce Jenner Undergo Another Plastic Surgery?

Bruce Jenner is in the limelight again.  Not because of his stepdaughters and their notorious escapades but because of his plastic surgery rumors.  Just recently, the “Keeping up with the Kardashians” star has been accused of having another plastic surgery after he appeared in public with a noticeable scar on his cheek.

But much to the disappointment of celebrity bloggers and showbiz reporters, Jenner’s scar is not caused by facelift or any cosmetic procedure.  The former Olympian had surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his face, according to a report published in Us Weekly.

The magazine cited an unnamed source although Jenner had not yet confirmed if his scar is really from a cancer surgery.

Perhaps those people who jumped into a conclusion that Jenner’s scar is from plastic surgery cannot be blamed as the reality tv star had admitted to have some nips and tucks in the past—a mini facelift when he was 35 years old and then followed by rhinoplasty or “nose job.”

Because the result of Jenner’s mini facelift was not as natural as it should be, he has been criticized for his “wind-swept” look and squinty eyes—clear manifestations of bad plastic surgery. 

In an effort to “correct” the not-so-natural result of Jenner’s initial facelift, his wife and stepdaughters convinced him to get a revision plastic surgery several years ago.

Dr. Tarick Smaili, a cosmetic surgeon who did not treat Jenner, said that facelift is not only about removing the sagging skin and wrinkles.

“For me, the most important thing aside from making the face more youthful is also maintaining the natural shape of the eyes and face.  No one would like to have squinty eyes or a face that looks like it was blown by a strong wind.  With this in mind, I am very carefully when it comes to removing the sagging skin although I prefer going deeper into the facial muscle so the result will last 10 to 15 years,” Smaili said.

To avoid botched results, Smaili advised patients to carefully choose their plastic surgeons and make sure that they have been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Smaili added that patients considering facelift surgery should make sure that their doctors have expertise in facial rejuvenation.

“People should remember that not because their doctors provide them great breast augmentation result does not necessarily mean that they are also good in facelift.  First and foremost, two procedures are very different from each other,” Smaili said.
