Angelina Jolie Gets A Ribbon Lift
Who needs makeup … when you can simply get a ribbon lift … if you’ve got an extra US$5000 to spare!
The ribbon lift is apparently the latest Hollywood plastic surgery craze, and is specifically for people who want to rejuvenate the look of their neck and face (i.e. get rid of jowling, wrinkles and such). An absorb-able ribbon of some sort is implanted in the neck; the ribbon has hooks which allow the surgeon to pull it and tighten loose skin. It’s a simple procedure that comes with minimal bruising and a short one week recovery time.
According to this tabloid I’m reading, Angelina Jolie is the latest celebrity to be spotted with the telltale sign of recent Ribbon Lift work – she was in Venice filming her latest movie, and eagle eyed gossip experts spotted that she seemed to have two large tucks of skin underneath her right ear, and that the skin appeared to be red and sore. Pop star Madonna was also in the gossip news recently as another celebrity who has used the Ribbon Lift to help her look younger.
What next!? Pretty soon there’ll be no need for makeup!
