Has he or hasn’t he had another face lift? That is the question being asked about Kim Kardashian’s father Bruce Jenner by Hollywood’s press.
According to online publication Hollywood Life, Mr Jenner was seen with a bruised face and fresh scar at an L.A. Lakers game, tell-tale signs of facial cosmetic surgery. This is not the first time that the former Olympic runner has been connected with age-defying procedures, and in the past his daughters have always publicly denied the rumours.
This included during filming of the family’s reality television show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, when Kim said he had not had a face lift.
Before and after pictures of Mr Jenner suggest that he has had surgical or non-surgical procedures to reverse the ageing process, however these rumours have not been confirmed.
Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she relies on a good diet and skin care regime to keep herself looking young.
The 52 year old was awarded an OBE on the New Year’s Honour’s list and is a regular face on breakfast TV, with many male fans referring to her as a ‘yummy mummy’.
In an interview in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, Kelly said: “The thing is, if you go on a diet, you’re denying yourself. At the moment, I’m looking after myself as a bit of maintenance.
Plastic surgery clinics in Queensland, Australia, have seen a continued rise in the number of men opting for face lift surgery.
A spokesman for the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr Mark Magnusson, said: “There have always been men getting [face lift surgery] done.”
He added that while the demand had risen in recent months, men had already been a notable presence in cosmetic surgery clinics, often opting for Botox and other non-surgical procedures as well as cosmetic surgery such as face lifts and blepharoplasty.
The wrinkle-free complexion of 43-year-old superstar Kylie Minogue has led to questions being asked as to whether she has undergone a cosmetic surgery treatment.
The singer was photographed last night attending a dinner and charity concert hosted by George Michael at the Royal Opera House in London. According to a report by the Daily Mail newspaper, rumours circulated for years that Kylie was using Botox, something she only admitted to last year. At the same time she also denied having had a face lift.
The number of facelift operations being carried out is on the up as more men and women recognise the benefits of having a youthful appearance.
Figures for 2010 show that the number of facelifts carried out by members of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons increased by 12 per cent. This represents a turnaround from 2009 when the organisation suggested there had been a downturn in the number of facelift procedures carried out.
Kris had a face lift earlier this year and said that she admired the straightforward reaction of Sharon, wife of veteran rock star Ozzy Osbourne.
A cosmetic surgeon in America has reported an increase in enquiries from people looking for combined eyelid and facelift surgery.
Dr Adam Stein, a plastic surgeon from Raleigh, USA, said: “More patients are interested in combining eyelid surgery with a facelift at my practice.
Teenagers opt for nose and ear reshaping surgery, young adults choose breast augmentation, those entering middle age pick liposuction and eye bag removal is most popular with those in old age.
These are the findings of two sets of statistics – one from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and the other from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). The Orange County Register pulled together the statistics, which focus entirely on female patients, and published ‘Plastic Surgery From Teenage to Old’ today.
New research has found that age shouldn’t be the only factor when deciding whether or not a patient is suitable for face lift surgery.
HealthDay News reports the findings of analysis by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic today, which shows how well patients of different ages fared after face lift surgery.
The study questioned 216 women, with 148 of them younger than 65 and the rest older. It found that the rates of complication were not statistically different between the two age groups. Researchers say that the study, published in the online journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, proves that age alone cannot be used to predict risk prior to a cosmetic surgery procedure.
However, James Zins, chairman of the Cleveland Clinic, highlighted the need to properly assess elderly patients.
In a press release he said: “It should not be generalized from the study that elderly patients can undergo a facelift operation with the same low complication rate as seen in the younger age group. Careful screening of the elderly patients, and excluding those with significant co-morbidities, led to the low complication rate.”
