Angelina Jolie's facial features and figure excite the imagination of men and arouse the envy of women around the world. In this regard, there are many rumors about how she managed to create her image. The actress herself admits to only two plastic surgeries.
But they continue to look at photographs from different years and try to understand how many transformations actually took place. But one way or another, Angelina Jolie is a shining example of the fact that plastic surgery can correct advantages and place the right accents.
A little about life before plastic surgery
Angelina Jolie was born into the family of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. However, the parents' marriage did not last long; they divorced due to their father's numerous infidelities. As a result, the girl and her brother were raised by her mother, who gave up trying to make a stellar career. However, it was his father who helped Angie make her first start in the acting profession. She began acting at the age of six, and at the age of eleven, the girl moved in with him and began studying at a filmmaking school in Hollywood.
Angelina Jolie with her mother and brother
As a child, her relationships with classmates and people around her in general did not work out due to her peculiar character. Angelina was fond of strange and sometimes bordering on common sense activities. She always had eccentricity and a desire to shock the public. The girl had her first relationship at the age of 14, but it did not last long.
It was from this age that she began to actively act in music videos and work as a model. Angelina already had an attractive appearance and had no shortage of fans. Until now, much of her personal life remains at the level of legends and rumors, such as relationships with women, incestuous relations with her brother, etc.
At the beginning of her film career, Angie played many completely different characters, but one of the main roles in the 1995 film “Hackers” became fateful. After him, the actress began to receive offers one after another. It was then that her systematic work on her appearance towards the ideal began. The actress has an Oscar, several nominations and three Golden Globe awards. Almost all films with her participation become hits and collect full box office.
Still from the movie “Hackers”
Over the years, Angelina Jolie acquires more and more sophisticated and aristocratic features that were clearly not there in her youth. Rumors about whether and how many plastic surgeries she has had are growing exponentially. Officially, Jolie confirms only two, and the latter was done in the name of preserving health and life for children.

Angelina Jolie had both breasts removed to reduce her risk of cancer
“My mother battled cancer for a decade and died at 56,” Jolie recalls. “She lasted so long that she managed to nurse her first grandchildren. But my other children will never have the chance to know how loving and kind she was.”
According to the actress, she often talks to children about their grandmother, trying to explain why she is not around. The children ask if the disease will take their mother too. And although Jolie tells them not to worry, the results of a gene test showed that she is a carrier of the so-called “defective” gene BRCA1, which, according to doctors, in her case increases the likelihood of breast cancer to 87% and ovarian cancer to 50%.
“I decided to have a preventative double mastectomy (removal of the mammary glands). “I started with the breast because in this case the risk of cancer is greater than ovarian cancer, and the operation itself is much more complicated.” All procedures were completed by April 27, Jolie writes. All this time, the actress managed to keep the operation secret and even do work.
Now, Jolie explains, she decided to share her experience so that other women with similar problems could benefit from it.
“The first stage of the operation began on February 2,” writes the actress. - with a procedure aimed at eliminating the possibility of potentially infected cells remaining in the tissues behind the nipple and increasing blood circulation in this area. This causes some pain and bruising, but increases the chance of saving the nipple.”
“A week later, the main operation was performed, during which the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers take their place. The operation can last up to eight hours, Jolie continues. “...But a few days after the operation, you can return to normal life.”
After another nine weeks, the final operation was performed - restoring the shape of the breasts using implants. The entire operation reduced Jolie's chances of getting breast cancer to 5%.
However, the actress is aware that such an operation can still be a problem for many - from a financial point of view. “The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, more than $3,000 in the United States, still remains a barrier for many women.”
For those who, judging by a number of comments online, are still “in the tank,” the actress once again explains: “I hope women reading this will understand that they have a choice... I decided not to hide my story because many women don't know that they can live in the shadow of cancer. I hope that they too can take a gene test and, if they are at high risk of disease, will know that they have a choice.”

EXPERT COMMENT
Lyudmila LYUBCHENKO, head. Laboratory of Clinical Oncogenetics of the Russian Oncological Research Center named after. N.N. Blokhina, Doctor of Medical Sciences.
— Lyudmila Nikolaevna, what signs indicate that cancer is possible? What made Jolie take such a radical step, since her cancer had not yet been discovered?
“Given that her mother died of cancer, Angelina underwent molecular genetic diagnostics to identify the gene mutation responsible for the hereditary variant of breast cancer. If a person is a carrier of the BRCA1 gene, the probability of developing breast cancer is about 85–87%.
— Was it necessary to have such a radical operation?
— It is known: there is no 100% prevention of cancer. And similar measures (mastectomy - removal of the mammary glands) are being taken in many countries, including Russia, in order to save a person from the possible occurrence of breast cancer in the future. In 2011, we also received permission from the Ministry of Health for such operations. We remove both breasts from patients who develop this form of cancer before the age of 40 (62.9%), and perform implantation. In another case, if a young woman has one breast affected, this is also an indicator for removal of both mammary glands. Such operations reduce the very high risk of severe disease.
— What do you recommend to women so that cancer does not strike unexpectedly?
“Today we can accurately determine which of the relatives of a patient with cancer has inherited the risk of developing it. This can be not only breast cancer, but also cancer of the colon, ovaries, thyroid gland, etc. There are recommendations from geneticists in this regard: to begin observing people at risk 5–10 years earlier than the youngest age of onset of cancer in a relative.
— In your opinion, what are the main causes of cancer? And are there effective prevention measures?
— There are many causes of breast cancer. One of the main ones is heredity, there is also hormonal imbalance (poor nutrition and reproductive behavior, stress, smoking, etc.). And there are several preventive measures: this includes observation by specialists, and radical measures (surgeries to remove mammary glands), and taking medications (today - antiestrogens). It has also been proven that the use of oral contraceptives reduces the risk of developing hereditary ovarian cancer by 60%. And women should be regularly examined by gynecologists: breast ultrasound should be done once every six months; mammography - once a year; MRI - once a year, but according to indications, on the recommendation of specialists. If the patient has a hereditary variant, then he needs to be examined once every 6 months.

Have you undergone a lot of plastic surgery?
In fact, it is quite difficult to understand how many surgical interventions Jolie has had. If they were, then the job was done perfectly. Angie chose plastic surgeons of the highest level and professionalism. She did not radically change her appearance in pursuit of fashion and trends, but remained true to herself. As a result, Angelina Jolie looks like herself, only in an improved version.
Many people try to determine the number of plastic surgeries by comparing photographs of the actress now and during her childhood and youth. Almost everyone notices a change in the shape and width of the nose, the size of the lips, the thinning of the chin and cheekbones, the ideal oval of the face, as well as an increase in breast size. Jolie herself admits only to having her nose done. And a few years ago, she decided to have a mastectomy to eliminate the risk of breast cancer, which killed her mother.
As for other changes in facial features, the star herself does not confirm them, but, by the way, does not refute them. On the other hand, comparing photographs with a difference of 20 years and talking about any interventions to improve appearance is not entirely correct. It is hardly possible to find a person who looks identical at 18-20 years old and at 40-something.
Age-related changes affect everyone; over time, the face becomes longer (the notorious gravity), the cheeks “shrink,” and the volume of the lips is lost. And some things can be corrected with good makeup.
But the possibility of plastic surgery cannot be denied either. Not every celebrity acquires such chiseled beauty over the years.
Were there lips?
Being the most expressive place on Jolie's face, her lips excite not only men around the world, but also women who fiercely suspect the star of using Botox. But the star did not resort to any manipulations with her lips. All its virtues were obtained from nature.
One has only to look at Angie’s childhood photographs, and doubts about the naturalness of her lips will disappear by themselves. It is possible that plastic surgeons made their contour more clear, but there is no absolute certainty about this.
Nose correction
This plastic surgery is confirmed by Angelina Jolie herself. The shape and width have undergone noticeable changes. In childhood and adolescence, the actress, in addition to prominent lips, also had a very noticeable nose. He gave the appearance a mediocrity and made it less elegant. Thus, in the late 90s, Jolie decided to undergo rhinoplasty. The surgeon who worked on her nose did a meticulous job. He remained hers, but became more graceful.
The tip was made more pointed and slightly snub-nosed, the back was narrowed and the shape of the wings of the nose was changed.
Almost all surgeons agree that the actress acted wisely by making a slight correction to this part of her face. After all, the nose is the main feature and gives more than 80% of the individuality of a person’s appearance. If you want to do something with it, then only very carefully.
Cheek surgery and face lift
Many experts note that today Jolie’s oval face and cheekbones have become clearer and more prominent. Some people attribute these changes to the thinness of the actress.
However, professional plastic surgeons claim that despite the decrease in the amount of subcutaneous fat and age-related changes, all this could not happen naturally. She probably used implants in her cheekbones to give them definition and a sharper shape. Angie also got rid of her baby chubby cheeks.
It remains unknown whether Jolie had a facelift or not. The 42-year-old actress has a perfect oval face without any age-related changes. Several years ago, photographs appeared in the press and on the Internet showing strange scars and formations. Immediately there were rumors and speculation that Angelina had undergone plastic surgery for a facelift. But experienced surgeons say such scars are not typical.
Was there a facelift?
In 2009, a photo of Jolie from the back appeared on the Internet, in which the neck and area behind the ear are clearly visible, where those who were especially attentive looked at a certain scar, which immediately gave rise to the claim of a facelift. The red stripe behind the ear really looks like a scar, for example, David Shaffer, an expert from New York, spoke about this; he says that it may well be marks after otoplasty. But another specialist, Jennifer Walden, argues the opposite, saying that this cannot happen after a facelift.
In the end, opinions differed, and there were many plausible guesses, such as that these were marks from the removal of a birthmark, or simply a scratch from the temple of sunglasses that were too narrow.

Breast removal surgery
Angelina is naturally curvy, as can be clearly seen from photographs of her in her youth. However, rumors about plastic surgery on her breasts began to spread when the actress lost weight after giving birth to her children, but her bust did not become smaller. At first, she explained this by breastfeeding. But even after the end of lactation, the breasts did not regain their previous size. The actress herself did not comment on these rumors.
In 2013, Angelina Jolie openly stated that she was going to have a mastectomy and then mammoplasty. Her mother recently died of ovarian and breast cancer. The actress was seriously concerned about her health, because this type of malignant tumors is hereditary.
To avoid an evil fate, Jolie had her ovaries and breasts removed and had implants inserted. The difference is visible to the naked eye. Previously, Jolie had breasts of a full third size, but now she is the owner of at least a fourth. The actress explains this by preventive measures for the sake of life and health, so that her children have a mother.

Myths and truth about other plastic interventions
Angelina’s ideal facial features haunt spiteful critics who claim that she has also tampered with other parts.
Lips
Most of the myths about Jolie's plastic surgery are associated with this part of her face. At the beginning of her career, everyone immediately started talking about the fact that her lips were not real. Evil tongues claimed that the actress at least used fillers or hyaluronic acid. But as soon as her childhood photographs were made public, it became clear that she had done nothing to her lips.
Although recently rumors have started to spread again. Allegedly, Angie reduced her lower lip, because after 20 years it became noticeably thinner. This is easily explained by age-related changes.
Chin
It is possible that the reduction of the lower lip is associated with another operation - mentoplasty. Namely, installing an implant in the chin. Over the years, it has become smaller and more prominent, thanks to which Jolie has acquired a Greek correct profile. The fact is that with plastic surgery on the chin, the skin tightens, thereby reducing the volume of the lower lip.
Teeth
Angie's charming smile is also the subject of gossip. However, it is impossible to deny the fact of changes in the shape and color of teeth. The actress received veneers. But, unlike other Hollywood stars, they have a natural look and color, so Jolie can afford almost any makeup.
Rhinoplasty
Sixteen-year-old Angie, who looks at us from numerous photographs of that period, has a much wider nose, and its tip is slightly larger. Soon after the release of the film “Hackers,” everyone saw how the plump snub nose turned into an even Greek profile.

Experts note that plastic surgeons tried so hard to insert the implant that now many fans simply do not believe that she actually remodeled her nose. But it is clear that he could not transform himself like that.
