BRISTOL PALIN ADMITS TO JAW SURGERY!

Bristol Palin has finally addressed the rumors that she had some work done to her face. While Bristol tells Us Weekly that she did go under the knife, she insists it wasn't for cosmetic reasons. "I had corrective jaw surgery" in December, said Bristol. "It's not plastic surgery." While she admits that the procedure "improved the way I looked," she claims "this surgery was necessary for medical reasons…so my jaw and teeth could properly realign…I don't obsess over my face." The 20-year-old adds, "I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I look older, more mature and I don't have as much of a chubby little baby face."  But while she sounds completely thrilled that she looks nothing like herself, Bristol insists she would never undergo plastic surgery for vanity’s sake. Said Bristol, "I wouldn't get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured."
