AceShowbiz - Bethenny Frankel addressed those plastic surgery rumors that surfaced after people noticed her face looks smaller these days. Stopping by "Watch What Happens Live", the 45-year-old media personality was asked by a viewer on the phone, "I was wondering if you had any plastic surgery done lately."
"I didn't," she answered, but added, "Well, I had my jaw injected with Botox because I have TMJ, and if you look at pictures of me from probably, like, seven years ago it's gradually gotten smaller to the point where I had to stop, and now it actually hurts again."
The temporomandibular joint or TMJ is the joint that connects the jaw to the bones of the skull. Bethenny, who admitted in May to grinding her teeth, revealed her doctor suggested she get Botox in the jawline to treat her irritated joint.
Host Andy Cohen also noticed the difference in her face, pointing out, "It does look like your jaw is smaller." Bethenny explained, "It used to be that this was big. It's sort of gotten different, my face completely changed."
As for her eyes which looked different during recent "The Real Housewives of New York City" reunion, the Skinnygirl Cocktails founder revealed the secret. "I looked at the reunion and my eyes - the little trick that actually [makeup artist] Kristofer Buckle taught Maryana, my makeup artist, is when you put your eyelashes on, put the ends up a little bit, and it makes your eyes look a little more out. So they don't go down," she shared. "But, no, I have not. I have not had any plastic surgery."
