A plastic surgeon told Grazia Magazine he knows the secret to Madonna’s youthful good looks. Judging by photos of Madonna before her Oscar party last month, Dr Alex Karidis said he believes the fifty year old singer underwent a procedure called a “ribbon lift.”
The $6,000 procedure involves inserting a dissolvable ribbon through incisions around the earlobes. The ribbon lifts neck tissue to give the patient’s face a tighter appearance.
Mr Karidis explained: “[A tube-like device] is tunnelled under the skin and has lots of tiny hooks that attach to the muscle and tissue. We then pull it upwards to lift the whole area.
“It doesn’t appear as if the ribbon has dissolved properly. However, she looks to have cleverly covered it with a loose hairstyle at the Oscars party.”
Madonna has remained enigmatic on the subject of surgery, saying previously: “I am certainly not against plastic surgery; however, I am absolutely against having to discuss it.”
It takes a couple months for the ribbon to be absorbed, and the lifting results last for approximately three years.
