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.

Many people are now acting upon their New Year’s resolutions but if you are still looking for some inspiration, here are our top suggestions:
1) Regain body confidence
Gaining confidence is a very popular New Year’s resolution and there are many ways in which you can do this. If you have any body hang-ups that you link with your lack of self-esteem, perhaps 2012 is the year that you look to do something to address the way you feel. For example, it could be as simple as changing your diet to tackle problem skin, or if you have successfully lost weight in the recent years but still have stubborn pockets of fat, you might want to start looking into liposuction surgery. Whatever it is that you decide to do we’re certain you’ll be able to get the confidence boost you need.
2) Eat healthily
Having a good diet is incredibly important for your health and you should make sure that you eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, drink plenty of water and eat from the correct food groups. This will help to lose weight / maintain a healthy weight, as well as improving the look of your skin. It can also help to stave off the signs of ageing so it is well worth doing. Along with eating healthily you might also want to start taking nutritional supplements – we have a range of AmeriSciences supplements that can be bought online and from our clinics.
3) Start a skincare regime
Whether you have problem skin or not, taking up and sticking to a skincare regime is a very good idea. Our anti-aging products can help your skin to produce more collagen and elastin that can give you a healthy and more youthful appearance. We also have a range of acne products that can remove redness and swelling from hard-to-treat skin.
4) Exercise more
Exercising can help you to increase your muscular strength and keep you healthy; the government recommends that everyone partakes in at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, 5 days a week. Exercising can also help your skin though – when you get stressed you can find that you are blighted with problem skin, but as exercising helps to reduce stress it can actually act as a free and healthy solution!
