At the Grammy Awards, Madonna caused horror with a new look. Fans and plastic surgeons are sure: the singer went under the knife. The 64-year-old does not want to let the allegations sit down and is now targeting her critics with a photo.
Madonna caused a stir with her changed appearance at the Grammys in early February. The reason: the singer was hardly recognizable with her smooth face, unnaturally plump lips and cheeks. Malicious comments followed online, with many speculating whether the singer had quickly paid a visit to the cosmetic surgeon.
After the 64-year-old had resisted the comments online just a few days after the award ceremony, she is now doing it again. "Look how cute I am now that the swelling from the surgery has gone down lol," she captioned a tearful emoji alongside a Twitter photo of herself looking at the camera with her arms crossed. In fact, her face looks slimmer than it did at the Grammys. Only she knows whether she wants to indirectly confirm a facelift with the photo or just show what she looks like from a different angle.
In a first statement after the Grammys, the Queen of Pop explained her taut but puffy face with the long lenses of the press photographers. These would "distort every face," she wrote on an Instagram video with footage from the evening, before complaining about "age discrimination" and "misogyny". The world refuses to "celebrate women over 45" and feels the need to "punish them if they continue to be strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous," the singer said.
Plastic surgeons have long assumed that Madonna regularly goes under the knife to look more youthful. For example, US doctor Michael Horn explained that it was obvious to him that the singer had undergone a face lift "because her skin looked tight and pulled back without wrinkles". In addition, in his opinion, Madonna had her nose worked on. He also assumes that she had an eyebrow lift and had "excessive" injections of "fillers and botox," he recently told the Daily Mail.
