Us Weekly, however, says the picture wasn’t altered and Angelina had the same veiny/tendony thing at the BAFTA awards. Us consulted plastic surgeons who say it’s from Botox or Gore-Tex injections while others say it’s from thin skin and having less than 10% body fat.
Dr. Elie Levine, who has not treated Jolie, says that it appears she’s “received Botox to her face and likely her neck” because she shows “no wrinkles along the sides of her eyes (the crow’s feet) despite that very large smile… and her forehead is smooth.”Whatever. Angelina could have gills on the side of her neck and I’d still do her. She could rip off her face during sex to reveal a humanoid lizard creature and I’d probably freak out, but not before I finish.
Botox paralyzes muscles, causing one to “recruit other muscles that are not regularly used to twisting the neck and smiling widely” to compensate, he adds.
But Dr. Lyle M. Back believes Jolie has not received any cosmetic surgery. He credits the protrusion to Jolie’s “very thinned out skin — tented and pulled over the edge of the angle of her jaw” as the result of her having less than 10 percent body fat.
