Bristol Palin Corrective Jaw Surgery 'New Look'

Last week the internet was spinning out of control with speculation, after photos of Bristol Palin surfaced looking awfully different, with a much more prominent chin.

And while cosmetic plastic surgery seemed like the most viable answer for her change in appearance, we are now getting word that Bristol Palin underwent corrective jaw surgery, for medical reasons. A procedure that reportedly took place back in December of 2010.

This revelation was unveiled in the latest issue of Us Weekly, which includes an interview with Ms. Palin...

It's not plastic surgery, I had corrective jaw surgery. Yes, It improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons...so my jaw and teeth could properly realign. I don't obsess over my face.

I am absolutely thrilled with the results, I look older, more mature, and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face!

With that being said, the results of her jaw surgery look virtually identical to that of a chin implant, but Bristol insists she wouldn't opt for cosmetic plastic surgery, unless it was absolutely necessary.

I wouldn't get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured.

This recent news just hit the wire, and already we're hearing a boatload of feedback, most of which is crying foul, insisting that there is more to this story than corrective jaw surgery.

However, a quick 'google image search' will showcase a wealth of before and after photos of ordinary folks, who have undergone corrective jaw surgery, and the existent in which the procedure can alter ones appearance.

So we take Bristol at her word, when she says "its not plastic surgery". But perhaps we're being a little naive this morning. What say you?
