If you compare the pictures of the film star at the beginning and at the peak of her career, changes in appearance will immediately catch your eye. Very little is said about what Marilyn did with herself, but we still tried to find information about the plasticity of the star.
We have no doubt that if Marilyn Monroe were still alive today, she would definitely become a big fan of innovative aesthetic techniques and regularly get into the ratings of celebrities who put a lot of money and effort into prolonging their youth. However, the legendary blonde passed away too early – at a time when the general public knew almost nothing about plastic surgery or cosmetology. Then no one suspected how much – after just a couple of decades – it would be possible to change your face and body, and almost everyone can do it.
Of course, surgeons back in the 19th century knew how to correct this or that flaw in appearance, and silent film actresses were already actively resorting to certain operations. But for a long time, any information about this industry remained behind closed doors. None of the star beauties was in a hurry to admit that they were doing something with themselves. And especially such an icon as Marilyn Monroe.
Nevertheless, rumors about the plastic surgery of the film star only become more and more over time. Past (and still living) lovers decide on revelations for the tabloids, medical documents are put up at auctions, and photos of Monroe from different periods of life only confirm this. Yes, it was plastic. But what exactly?
Breast
At one time, Marilyn’s large, but pointed breasts even gave rise to the creation of a new form of bras – which visually turned any breast into a bust of a film star.
They say that the secret of the actress herself was just wearing such underwear with inserts. And also in the fact that she did special exercises with dumbbells, which strengthened both the torso and the muscles of the chest. But all this is hard to believe. In fact, the star underwent plastic surgery – at least, that’s what Mile Gurdin, who worked with her in the last years of her life, says, and sold the actress’s medical data to collectors a few years ago.
Marilyn’s breasts were enlarged with the help of special silicone injections, because until the early 1960s, as we have already said, the usual implants from the same material were not used for people. Alas, it was precise because of such a dangerous method of increasing over time that the actress began to have internal inflammation. According to the doctor’s notes, until the last days of her life, Monroe suffered from severe pains in the chest area, partly it was then that she tried to relieve with shock doses of pills, because of which she died.
Forehead
This is today at the top of all famous girls nose reshaping and breast augmentation. In the forties, the most “hit” operation was the correction of the hairline. Whoever did it, and Marilyn is no exception. Thanks to this surgical intervention, the forehead of the star looked higher and more expressive. And the actress’s hair began to grow more “disciplined”: there was no question of any gun!
Nose and more
But the very first operation on Marilyn’s list was nose reduction. She did this back in the late 1940s, before signing a contract with a film studio and starting filming the first film. Then she dyed her hair blonde and forever abandoned her real name – Norma Jean Baker.
It is believed that young Monroe’s rhinoplasty was paid for by the first serious man in her life – talent agent Johnny Hyde, who for a long time was also her lover. Also worked on the appearance of the beginning star and her next boyfriend, singer Fred Karger. He took Marilyn to the orthodontist and helped with the bills for the “Hollywood smile” and surgical correction of the front teeth.
Chin
In general, it was the aforementioned Johnny Hyde that made Marilyn the woman that the whole world loved. The agent sponsored not only the correction of the nose but also the plasticity of the actress’s chin. Thanks to the implant, Monroe’s chin has become more elongated, but at the same time expressive and feminine – without a cute dimple, which is visible in teenage pictures.
True, after about 10-15 years, the blonde had to go under the knife again. Based on x-rays sold by physician Mile Gurdin, the star approached him in the late 1950s complaining of “a noticeable deformity of her chin.” The plastic surgeon found that the implant had indeed begun to dissolve and performed surgery on her.
Waist
But opinions about whether Monroe did an operation to reduce the waist circumference differ. Some experts claim that she can be called almost a pioneer in this area – the actress was one of the first to break and remove her lower ribs. On the other hand, photographers, directors, and stylists who have worked with Marilyn have always noted her phenomenal ability to look better in the frame. For example, to find an angle in which a star inclined to fullness seems curvy and appetizing, to choose clothes that emphasize the strengths of the figure, and also wear uncomfortable corsets almost on a permanent basis. How it all happened, in reality, will forever remain a mystery to us. But it’s worth recognizing: no matter what “skeletons” people close to Marilyn periodically get out of the closet, she still remains a legend, the image of which is unlikely to fade and lose universal love.
