Renee Zellweger unrecognisable as she shows off her ‘new face’

Renee Zellweger shocked on the red carpet when she appeared unrecognisable..literally,  as it appeared the Bridget Jones actress had undergone a major face lift.

Renee, 45, showed off her new look at ELLE’s 21st annual Women In Hollywood Awards at the Four Seasons Hotel in California on Monday.

The actress looked almost unrecognisable with her super line-free forehead, altered brow and suspiciously puffy face, although she has never admitted to getting surgery.

Despite looking like she has had some major work done on her face, the star has laughed off the speculation and says her new look is merely down to her healthy new lifestyle.

Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Alex Karidis from London’s Karaidis Clinic told MailOnline he believes Renee may have had an upper eye lift as “the distance between the brow and her eye is much smaller than before.”

Alex also explained there is more of her eyelid showing and her eyes look much bigger, however her brows are not higher which suggests she hasn’t had a brow lift.

“Her forehead is smooth – you would expect more expressive wrinkles when she smiles which indicates a possible small dose of Botox between eyelid and eye.” 

He also suggested she could have had “non-surgical treatments such as ultrasound therapy to firm the skin and medical grade facial to get rid of dead skin cells.”
