Bristol Palin is trying to save face by insisting her new look is the result of a necessary medical procedure—not cosmetic surgery. The 20-year-old daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December – just a month after placing third on “Dancing with the Stars.”
A slimmer Palin turned heads at the White House Correspondents Dinner on April 30, debuting a thinner face, angular jaw and higher cheekbones. The appearance ignited speculation in the blogosphere that she had plastic surgery. But she told Us Weekly the procedure was necessary so her jaw and teeth could properly realign.
“Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons,” she told the magazine for its May 23 issue.
Palin said while growing up she wore braces and a device to correct an overbite. But her dentist warned her there was a still a possibility she would need surgery one day.
The single mom declared she would never get plastic surgery “unless I got in an accident or something terrible.”
But New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe had previously told the Daily News that her nose looked like it too had some work done.
“The tip of her nose is smaller and more feminine,” he said. “This gives [it] a less bulbous look … The bridge of the nose also appears lower. It’s not as wide as it previously appeared.”
Palin, who recently landed a reality show of her own, said she was happy with her new look.
“I look older, more mature and don’t have as muof a chubby little baby face,” she said.
