Bruce Jenner is Innocent: What a Facelift Scar Really Looks Like

Princess 19 on 24 Jan 2012 at 9:40am

The recent appearance of Bruce Jenner at a Lakers game with wife Kris had tongues wagging that the former Olympian had even more face work done.  Not so fast, people.  That's not a facelift scar.

If only the gossip sites had asked the experts first.  As news spread that the once-vain celeb had another facelift procedure, it was soon reported that Bruce actually had a biopsy - for skin cancer.  

Jenner had noticed a red mark on his face during a recent trip to his dermatologist.  The biopsy proved that it was an early stage of skin cancer.

When shown side by side in comparison to a real facelift scar, it is obvious from the sheer placement that this was a deliberate cut to remove something, not to lift the area for a more youthful look.  A facelift scar is meant to be stitched and placed in such a way that after the healing process is done, it is almost invisible.  And let's be honest here, would he really be going to a highly attended event so soon after a cosmetic procedure?  This is Hollywood, where procedures are meant to be secretive.

Besides, "...most good facelifts should not leave obvious scars," says Philadelphia area facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Corrado.  "A skilled cosmetic surgeon can rejuvenate your neck and jowls via well hidden incisions, when closed with good surgical technique, heal well enough that they should not be obvious."

So, no worries, Bruce (if he even had any).  We know you are innocent.  And, we are happy that you caught the cancer early.

Bruce Jenner is an ugly freak, and I don't know what he does for a living besides putting up with his wife's bullshit.

I really think people should leave Bruce Jenner alone. This man really tries but, of course he has no voice in any family matters.And he only has plastic surgery to please his wife. Kris Jenner wears the pants in that family.

His whole family sucks. Try helping poor people instead of wasting money on your vain shallow selves

Bruce Jenenr looks like someone poured melted plastic over his face and then it dried unevenly. Hideous.

Aw, I actually think Bruce is the most normal and sane! Even though he may look the strangest from time to time... he seems to be the voice the reason (although that voice is typically overpowered by Kris).

I've worked with Dr.Corrado, and he's one of the BEST plastic surgeons i've ever worked with, and i've been doing this for a number of years on the east coast and west coast, and he's one of the most talented. Bruce Jenner's look is horrible, he went from a very good looking man to something close to looking like a woman, Plastic surgery should be a subtle look, a rested look, not something that pulls your skin to the brink of cracking.

2 things:

- He'd have to have pretty thick skin (metaphorically, obviously it would be stretched thin) to get another facelift after all the crap he's received for his last.

- I'd like to see what tightened skin would look like if it was pulled in a direction that left that scar... probably not anything a quality surgeon would be proud to call a facelift.
