“Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons,” she told the magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday.
Palin also told the magazine she wouldn’t get elective surgery unless she “got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured.”
ED NOTE: Yes, I am aware that Chelsea Clinton had a little work done too, or at least I think she did. But seriously, how is that amusing. But Bristol? She of the We-Hate-the-Hollywood-Elite-Anti-American-Communist-Hedonists tribe? Now that I do find amusing. Story, more pix and delicious gossip here.
You can have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, or democracy. But you cannot have both.
Whatever Works 
Apparently she actually needed some work done on her jaw so that her teeth would align correctly – not too uncommon and those who can afford it often opt for the surgery as opposed to selective extraction of teeth that won’t fit right followed by orthodontics – and chose to (I assume) improve things a bit since they were cutting and sawing anyway.
It’s a bit ironic though. I’ll give you that but it’s quite common.
When the docs were planning on rebuilding my lower face they got all sorts of “crazy” over what they could do with implants and shaping and shaving, if I would let them. It’s a little hard to resist them sometimes. 😆

Right – she said it was so she would stop grinding her teeth or something .. . and because there is just no other way to deal with that one!
Just saw a promoo for her new tv show – she says “people will be surprised to find out what I’m really like. A real person, not llike those Hollywood ones.” the show is to be called “Life’s a Tripp”. Because it’s all about respect.
PS: I really am looking forward to your biography. There are a lot of stories there.

My biography, were it to be written, would suck. It’d be a lot like An Idiot Abroad, a story of a rather normal, boring bloke in what would normally be considered odd places.
Nothing particularly interesting about the face rebuild either. I got wiped out on my bike by an idiot driver in Pinellas Park and came down side of the face first on a curb. Painful but boring for a reader,

I wonder how the jaw docs managed to wander all the way up to her eyes?

I don’t think they did. I think that’s all weight loss, plucking, cosmetics, and a difference in expression. Remember that the pic on the left is far more candid in that it looks like it was taken while she was speaking to someone else, whereas the one on the right is obviously a staged shot.

Gosh, such a loss of personality! Like a blunt uniform, devoid of an individual. Remarkable.

I know – she now looks like evvery other 20’s-something brunette who mugs for the camera. I would not recognize her. At. All.
