The face is the calling card of any movie star. Therefore, it is not surprising that celebrities turn to plastic surgeons with a request to correct ugly facial or body features, to become even younger and more attractive. But sometimes the result of such interventions leaves fans perplexed: why do they need to go under the knife if the result is worse than before the interventions?
The most striking example of this situation is the story of the unexpected and dramatic transformation of actress Renee Zellweger. It cannot be said that in the history of Hollywood, unsuccessful facial plastic surgery happened for the first time, but the actress’s act does not at all correlate with her image among her fans. Therefore, the story received wide resonance.
Renee Zellweger - unconventional beauty
Actress Renee Zellweger gained wide popularity thanks to her leading roles in several acclaimed film comedies, the main one of which was the story of Bridget Jones. The charismatic face of the actress made her famous - it is very difficult not to remember the unique shape of her eyes and chubby cheeks even at a superficial glance. Despite her appearance, which is far from the beauty canons accepted in Hollywood, Renee managed to carve out her niche, playing mostly cute and charming blondes in films.
For fans, Renee has become a symbol of beauty beyond boundaries and standards. No matter how old Renee Zellweger is or how much she weighs, her charm has always kept her high in the ratings of popular film actresses.

Renee Zellweger presented her new film “Bridget Jones's Baby” last night. The world premiere of the film about the adventures of a restless journalist took place in London. 47-year-old Zellweger took to the red carpet in a dress with bare shoulders and bold slits on the skirt. And then she brought her boyfriend out into the spotlight and gave him a passionate kiss.

“She had plastic surgery and lost her individuality”, “Renee has aged ten years”, “The operations have changed Zellweger beyond recognition” - the tabloids have not been very kind to the actress lately. Despite the pressure from the press, the artist “kept her face” (as much as possible in such a situation) and flatly refused to admit that she had done anything to her appearance. This evening, fans were able to appreciate what Bridget Jones, the favorite of millions of viewers, really looks like now. Yes, Zellweger has lost a lot of weight and her features have really changed. Who among us isn't getting older? It’s worth noting that Rene behaved perfectly. And when she passionately kissed her boyfriend, musician Doyle Bramhall, the crowd roared with delight.

The film “Bridget Jones 3” will be released in Russia on September 15. The date was not chosen by chance - on this day it marks exactly 15 years after the first film about Bridget Jones was released. The plot of the third part of the film is built around Bridget’s pregnancy and the birth of the baby. Hugh Grant, with whom Zellweger played in previous films, will not appear in the third part. But we will see Bridget's old love Mark Darcy - actor Colin Firth came to the premiere with his wife. In addition, Patrick Dempsey (aka Dr. Derek Shepard from the series “Grey’s Anatomy”) will become a new contender for the heart of the charming blonde.

For the sake of plump Bridget, Renée Zellweger had to either gain kilograms (as many as 15!), or painfully lose them. This time, fortunately, the actress did not have to torment herself: she got away with a false belly simulating pregnancy.
On the eve of the premiere, Zellweger gave a frank interview in which she touched on the topic of children - it’s not for nothing that the original title of the film is translated from English as “Bridget Jones’s Baby.” The actress admitted that having children is not at all necessary.

“It is a common opinion among others that a woman will certainly be happy if she gives birth to a child. But that's not true. I never specifically planned to become a mother, I go with the flow. In general, any woman should have the right to choose. Your own will is the main priority. And the presence of a husband and children has long been no indicator of a woman’s wealth as an individual, says Rene.
Let us remember that Renee previously met with actor Bradley Cooper - the actress lived with him for two years under the same roof and, according to rumors, hoped to go down the aisle. Bradley Cooper is currently dating Russian model Irina Shayk.

Operations performed
Renee Zellweger changed radically before and after plastic surgery. Experts in cosmetology and plastic surgery claim that the actress underwent blepharoplasty - an operation to change the shape of the eyes, eliminating the so-called “overhanging eyelid.” As a result, the actress's trademark squint was replaced by wide eyes.
The actress’s manipulations with the upper part of her face are also obvious. Numerous Botox injections made her forehead waxy and immobilized, which significantly changed her facial expressions and the perception of her face by others.
Surgery to change the volume of the cheeks - removal of Bisha's fatty lumps or liposuction - is also not excluded.
Surprisingly, after the manipulations performed, the actress did not look younger. On the contrary, the question “how old is Renee Zellweger” began to be asked more and more often in comments to photographs of the star. At the time of the operation, Renee was 45 years old, and fans often noted that before the doctors’ intervention, the actress looked younger than her age.
How Renee Zellweger's face changed
The actress states that it was not plastic surgery, but a happy personal life, proper nutrition and physical activity that transformed her. She has a support group: some experts and journalists also do not see much change and believe that Renee Zellweger did not have any operations, and did not even visit a cosmetologist. In the other “camp” are those who are sure that there was plastic surgery, and maybe more than one, and clearly it could not have happened without anti-aging cosmetic procedures!
Renee Zellweger's look has changed
Instead of the “trademark” squint, a “wide-open” gaze appeared. It seems that the changes have happened for the better, because an open look in most cases makes the face look younger. However, for Renee Zellweger, everything happened exactly the opposite - she began to look older, and most importantly, her face lost its individuality and ceased to be recognizable. Similar metamorphoses occur after removal of overhanging excess eyelid skin (blepharoplasty or circular eyelid skin lift), which is why this operation may have been performed by Rene.
Where did Renee Zellweger's chubby cheeks go?
Another “calling card” (after the narrowed eyes) of the actress is her healthy cheeks and high cheekbones. They disappeared! The volume has left the zygomatic area, the tissues of the cheeks have sagged, i.e. The “architecture” of the face has radically changed. Perhaps this is due to an unsuccessful circular lift, but it is possible that the changes were the result of repeated and sudden changes in the actress’s weight. The assumption that the cheeks were specially reduced (Bishat's lumps were removed) seems completely unlikely. It is unlikely that any plastic surgeon would have thought of depriving Renee Zellweger of her obvious “zest” - her healthy cheeks. By the way, the loss of zygomatic volume can also explain the change in the shape of the actress’s eyes: the tissues simply stopped “pressing” on the lower eyelids, forcing them to rise up.
Renee Zellweger's lips have changed a little, but they have changed
The actress has a peculiar mouth shape - her lips are plump and pursed at the same time. In general, she has not changed, but the upturned upper lip in the central part is alarming - in the photos taken by Renee Zellweger in her youth, this feature is not present. Perhaps it would not have been possible without injections of hyaluronic filler (lip contour surgery). Evidence of the cosmetic procedure is also a slightly increased volume of both the upper and lower lips.
When Hugh Grand, his co-star in the film “Bridget Jones's Diary,” was shown a photo of the “new” Renee Zellweger, he simply did not recognize her! He stated that he had "never met this woman." The phrase perfectly reflects both the fact that Renee did plastic surgery and the fact that the operation was unsuccessful.
Actress's comments
Trying to find out what kind of plastic surgery Renee Zellweger had done, journalists turned to the actress herself for comment. And they heard the answer that the reason for the sudden changes in appearance was the actress’s happy personal life, good mood and good mood. Unlike other people undergoing the aging process, the actress, according to her own assurances, not without a bit of humor, cannot grow old due to an excess of positive emotions. The actress later added that the quieter filming schedule allowed her to devote time to rest and self-care. Therefore, the changes in her face became noticeable.
Later, the actress admitted that she had to stay away from numerous discussions in the press under the headlines “Actress Renee Zellweger had unsuccessful facial plastic surgery!” It was mentally very difficult. However, the star was able to stay away from the scandal, without giving a single comment to the press about the cosmetic manipulations she had performed.
Public comments
Of course, no one believed in the version with facial metamorphoses of such a degree of severity against the backdrop of happiness and relaxation, and even his co-star in “Bridget Jones’s Diary” Hugh Grant, having seen a photograph of Renee after the operation on a TV show, exclaimed: “I’ve never met this woman!” " Many of Zellweger’s fans shared the actor’s surprise and said that with a “new” face, the next sequel to the film with Bridget Jones would no longer be perceived as part of the previously filmed films.
But there were also supporters of the sudden transformation of the TV star in the person of the editor of the Guardian newspaper, who noted that there was nothing outstanding in the changes in Rene’s face. In addition, she noted, in the world of show business everyone tries to conform to the canons of beauty created by society. Actresses can only try to get closer to templates and standards in order to be successful among the audience. This exact story, according to the editor of a British newspaper, happened to actress Zellweger.

The opposite effect
The scandalous story about the actress's operation, which forced journalists to exaggerate the topic that Renee Zellweger before and after plastic surgery were two completely different people, had a continuation.
The first operation, which changed the shape of Rene’s eyes and the contours of his face, was performed in 2014. Two years later, in 2016, new photographs of Rene again became similar to those that fans could see before 2014. Obviously, the actress returned her previous eye shape. Renee herself refuses to comment on the situation.
Nevertheless, fans are glad that the actress listened to the opinions of others and admitted that her signature eye shape, even with slight signs of age, is much more attractive than an unnatural and unnatural face. However, a series of changes in the actress’s appearance still provokes discussion of Renee Zellweger’s appearance before and after plastic surgery. True, recently, in a more flattering way for the actress.
It is unknown what pushes hundreds of famous beauties to lie down on a plastic surgeon’s table, like Renee Zellweger. An operation is an extremely unpredictable thing, and even a carefully chosen clinic or doctor, good health and preparation for the operation do not guarantee the result expected by the patient.
