Renee Zellwegger's totally new look has been the subject of online discussion every since she ramped last week in Elle Women in Hollywood Awards in Beverly Hills. It's like she revved up the industry of cosmetic surgery with doctors and medical practitioners in the field weighing in to give their two-cents worth of what was done in her face.
One of the top dermatologists in New York, Dr. Janet Prystowsky, suggested browlift and Botox as main jobs done in Renee Zellwegger's face. She added the eyebrows that went straight across gave the Jerry Mguirre actress the different look. The brow lift work "raised her forehead too high... cheeks were made thinner with facelift...eyelift gave a more sunken look that she normally had...skin and fat removed," in an interview with Hollywood Life. She also suspected hair transplant.
The facelift, according to Dr. Lyle Back, a board-certified Philadelphia-area plastic surgeon, "made her face much less puffy, rectangular and masculine appearing...her face is more oval, elegant and feminine without an 'over-pulled' look. She has also had her eyes nicely done, losing the heavy, tired look around her eyes. A well-designed, finessed nasal reshaping created a nice balance with the rest of her."
Meanwhile, Dr. Michelle Copeland, a plastic surgeon in New York City, opined that Renee Zellweger had blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid lift and forehead lift, with injectable fillers that may have widened the planes of her face.
Renee Zellwegger was aware of the 'commotion' online. In an interview with People, she said she's happy that people noticed the different look, even acknowledging her age. But she's at peace and comfortable with herself especially with boyfriend Doyle Bramhall. "People don't know me [as] healthy for a while..Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older?! Ha. But I am different. I'm happy."
This maybe extreme and out of Renee Zellwegger's concern but what she doesn't know is the encouragement she's giving to outlaws who are out to evade justice from catching them. While alteration of face has been done as early as 1934 by John Dillinger, and followed by other criminals like Abu Nidal, and drug lords like Daniel Barrera who went under the knife in September 2012, criminals who are still free could take a cue from her successful surgery as the ultimate disguise.
