Fans believe that Pamela Anderson may have had some work done to her face after recent pictures showed the former Baywatch star looking quite unrecognisable.
New pics of the 49-year-old former Playboy playmate, have fans speculating as to whether or not the actress has had work done on her face.
A top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon told HollywoodLife.com: "It looks like Pamela Anderson may have had a fat transfer, which brings volume to the face.
"Fat is taken from areas of the body that have excess fat, like the inner thighs or from in the bra line area. The fat is then transferred via injection to various areas of the face. In Pamela’s case it looks as though she may have had fat transfers to her forehead, her upper eyebrow ridge and to her upper eyelids."
The surgeon explains: "When someone has Hep C, like Pamela Anderson, they can begin to look gaunt and have a hollow looking face because Hep C is an autoimmune disease and it can cause fat loss. So it would make sense for Pamela to get a fat transfer, which adds a youthful volume."
The plastic surgeon noted that fat transfers can cost between $5,000 and $8,000 and that 50-60 per cent of the fat transfer will be permanent. "After a procedure, the face can remain puffy and swollen for several weeks, which is perhaps the reason why Pamela’s face looks so puffy."
