What happened to Adriana Lima’s face? Plastic surgeon answers

After former Victoria’s Secret angel and model Adriana Lima, 42, appeared at the premiere of the movie The Hunger Games: A Song of Songbirds and Snakes, netizens suspected that she had plastic surgery.

While some believe that Lima had the popular “fox eye” procedure done, others believe that her face has changed a lot due to the facelift. We asked a professional to resolve this dispute – candidate of sciences, plastic surgeon and head of the VIP Clinic clinical network Sergei Kruglik.

“Looking at the photo, various surgical techniques were applied to the patient.

The first operation that immediately catches your eye is the temple lift operation. During this procedure, the upper outer-lateral parts of the face, along with the eyebrows and the outer corner of the eye, are displaced in the outer-lateral direction. This can be done using endoscopic equipment or through an incision in the scalp. Considering that the displacement occurred not only in the upper third of the face, but also in the middle and lower thirds, Lima most likely underwent an endoscopic lift. As a rule, this operation is combined with facial contouring using lipofilling. The result we see in the photo is the “freshest” one. If you remember Bella Hadid and her Ponytail removal technique, you can understand that the tissues have fallen back to their previous position after six months.

The second surgery performed was rhinoplasty. This can be understood by the narrowing of the bridge of the nose and the reduction of its tip. Or maybe it’s just the power of shaping.
