Bristol Palin says she had corrective jaw surgery

[cbdo2007]

Wed May 11, 2:42 am ET
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure — but not plastic surgery.

The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw.

The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.

I'm not obsessed with Bristol. I just wanted to post this follow up because OBVIOUSLY she had had something done but people here still have to argue with that, no matter what you post. If you post that 2+2=4 you'll still get 50 posts arguing with you about it. So here it is, proof, she is admitting that she had corrective surgery to fix her face.

1. Previously she was known as Bristol, the slack-jawed yokel.

14. ...

21. "Some folks i'll never lose a toe, but then some other folk'll...." We ought to call her Brandine.

[Big Orange Jeff]

23. Some folk'll never eat a skunk, but then again some folk'll...

2. I thought maybe it was corrective jaw surgery ...

.... to correct the stupid shit that kept coming out of her mouth.

4. and to suck out one of her "chins"

jaw surgery does not necessarily give you cheek bones..unless the surgeon slips a plastic disc under each cheek area too:)

Poor Bristol just got a round face, and she wanted an angular one.. She needs to watch out or she'll end up looking like Joan Rivers:)

30. chin implant

cheek implants, and some lipo of the jawline. pretty obvious, huh?

isn't her 15 minutes over yet???? :eyes:

[hobbit709]

3. It was more than just a jaw repair.

But she learned story telling well from her mother.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Maybe it was to make room for her feet.

moran.

[MadHound]

6. Why do we give time to such idiots and inanity?

Really now, all that we're doing is prolonging this twit's fifteen minutes.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. thank the discovery channel, Koch bros, and Fox.

[Aryo]

7. This is really important.

:sarcasm:

[obxhead]

8. If it wasn't sewn shut, I would call it a failure.

:evilgrin:

[Maeve]

9. Corrective, cosmetic...something that starts with 'C'

I really hate McCain for bringing this family to attention....

[rurallib]

10. who cares besides Bristol?

[Buzz Clik]

11. Her mom's phrase "putting lipstick on a pig" comes to mind for some reason.

Not sure why.

13. Maybe if she kept her mouth shut, among other orifices, there wouldn't be a problem.

[ejpoeta]

16. i would have laughed if she said she had 'dental work' like kathy griffin calls it.

[yellowcanine]

25. Actually it is considered "dental work" sometimes, depending on the reason for the surgery.

And dental insurance or regular medical insurance will pay for it.

But I am not sure why Bristol Palin's jaw surgery is news.

[sammytko]

17. I look older, more mature and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face

Why does a 20 year old want to look older? And losing 5 lbs did all that - I think not! Bet the blonde hair is next. Why didn't her mother tell her that her face and body will continue to change the rest of her life. Now she is stuck with that pointy chin. Overbite? Does anyone else in the Palin family suffer from this? It usually runs in the family.

[emulatorloo]

18. She lost more than 5lbs. I would guesstimate 15 or 20lbs

Odd that she says 5lbs.

At anyrate, I don't think she had plastic surgery. Not obsessed with Bristol, just find it odd about the 5lbs. She is significantly leaner than she was before.

[Sal Minella]

19. Hey, back off, you guys!!!

If she wants to look like Jay Leno, that's HER business.

[meow mix]

22. lol

:spank: :rofl:

[tomm2thumbs]

29. grinning at that one

[LynneSin]

20. You know I would have had more respect for her if she just said 'I had some work done'

I knew girls in high school that complained they had 'deviated septums' which was another word for the fact they got nose jobs over the summer.

[blueamy66]

24. I call BS.

My guy had jaw surgery twice...thanks to a dentist that broke his jaw whilst extracting a wisdom tooth.

His facial structure didn't change at all.

[MineralMan]

26. I have no idea, nor do I care.

We're helping Bristol to become the celebrity she wants to become with posts like this. Why?

Why do we not simply ignore this inconsequential person on DU? That's the real question.

[cbdo2007]

27. What do you mean? 90% of DU worships the Palins, Becks, Limbaughs of the world.

Join the club! Come on!!!

[tomm2thumbs]

28. does this mean it was paid for by health insurance instead of out of pocket?

wonder if she is on Mommy-Palin's insurance, thanks to the Democratic health care plan....

[cbdo2007]

31. BINGO

good call, hadn't thought of that.

[Heidi]

32. "I have a more mature look...for medical reasons."

She comes from a family of grifters, so maybe she's more deserving of empath than consteration. Hey, she's got a child to support, nd everybody's gotta make a living. Bless her little lipisuctioned heart.
