Brigitte Nielsen Plastic Surgery Pictures Before and After

Nothing can take a toll on a person’s appearance like years of substance abuse. Some of the worst culprits are drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. A person who smokes can easily age faster, and look years older, than someone who’s never touched cigarettes. The reverse is that quitting these addictive substances can also do a number on the body. As the body goes into withdrawal it tries to make up for the missing substances by acting out. This is exactly what happened to famous Hollywood rehab patient Brigitte Nielsen plastic surgery.

Euro boozehound Brigitte Nielsen went public in a big way with her total body overhaul, broadcasting her boob job, lipo and facelift on German TV. Nielsen recently emerged after a short healing period, and I have to admit, aside from the horrid wardrobe and the haircut she’s had since 1988, the broad looks pretty good.

When Brigitte Nielsen appeared on the show Celebrity Rehab on VH1 with Dr. Drew, she knew she was airing her dirty laundry for all the world to see. Today, she is looking better than ever, but her body has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride to get her there. After she quit her drug and alcohol habits, she began to gain lots of weight, This is common in recovering addicts, but she really didn’t like the way she looked with all the extra pounds on her frame.

Now, Brigitte Nielsen is looking great, and she admits that her plastic surgeon had a hand in the recovery of her appearance, just as Dr. Drew had a hand in the recovery of her body and mind. She went into her plastic surgeon’s office for a consult, and ended up getting a facelift, breast lift, and liposuction on her stomach and legs. All this plastic surgery has made her look refreshed and renewed. She practically looked like a senior citizen before! With some changes to her lifestyle and some plastic surgery, she’s looking a good 30 years younger.

Brigitte Nielsen reportedly underwent liposuction on her thighs, Botox treatment and a breast reduction.

Brigitte Nielsen stated then: "I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed  herself  to be filmed like that in an operating theatre. I know I will be breaking a taboo. But I’m sure that it will provoke a new discussion. It’s time things change. I feel 30 and want to look that way again."

According to celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Youn "Brigitte apparently underwent liposuction on her thighs, Botox, and a breast reduction. The after plastic surgery photos reveal that the 44 year old ex-wife of Sylvester Stallone looks great. I wonder if she also underwent other facial plastic surgeries, such as a browlift, facelift, and eyelid lifts? It appears that way to me."

The question is: "Why did a 44 year old celebrity age so prematurely in the first place?" The answer is quite obvious: a possible combination of the California sun, smoking, drinking, and possibly an unhealthy lifestyle.

It has to be noted that the plastic surgeon who treated Brigitte Nielsen is German plastic surgeon Gerhard Sattler.

Judging by the before and after plastic surgery photos, Brigitte is estimated to have saved at least $100,000 and clearly went to the gym for a couple of months.

According to some celebrity watchers, Brigitte has probably had eye lift, teeth implants, breast lift, breast reduction, face-lift, spot removal and liposuction.

During her stint last year on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" with Dr. Drew, Brigitte Nielsen gave up cigarettes and alcohol and as a result "gained a lot of weight," she admits. "When I looked at myself, I felt like an old home that needed to be fixed up."

Brigitte Nielsen has showed on reality tv her head-to-toe plastic surgery in June 2008, which is very brave. "A lot of women say: "I look good thanks to magic creams," but that's a joke," Brigitte was quoted as saying, explaining the reason she went public.

"On a scale of one to 10, I feel like a nine!" Brigitte reveals.

Brigitte Nielsen has honestly stated that she had the following plastic surgery procedures:

1. On her face: Nielsen claims she had a "mini-lift, just around the ears and eyelids."

2. On her breasts: Her 36C implants (which she had put in 18 years ago) were replaced with new ones and her breasts lifted "to make them look fresher."

3. On her stomach: Eight pints of fluid were removed from her belly and thighs via liposuction.

4. On her legs: Lipo (and dieting) helped Nielsen go from a size 14 to an 8.
