Dolly Parton is celebrating a milestone with one of her favorite activities: plastic surgery!
The country megastar has undergone a complete facelift to prepare for her 50th wedding anniversary next year, The National ENQUIRER has learned.
“Dolly wants to recreate her wedding day as near as possible,” said an insider. “And while she may not look exactly the same, she wanted the surgery so she can feel young for herself and look younger for her husband, Carl Dean.”
These ENQUIRER photos show the singer shortly after dramatic facial surgery. Dolly underwent a $20,000 laser peel in Beverly Hills, and hours later she emerged wearing a black veil and was helped into a car by a female friend.
“Dolly is obsessed with maintaining a youthful appearance. She’s afraid she’s already starting to look worn and haggard,” explained the insider. “She’s petrified that if her skin ages even slightly, her fans will brand her a has-been.
“Dolly doesn’t mind talking about her plastic surgery,” continued the insider, “but she doesn’t want to be seen doing it. She has one of the best plastic surgeons around, and no doubt she will look great when she walks down the aisle again.”
The 69-year-old country and western singing legend tied the knot with Carl, now 73, on May 30, 1966, in Ringgold, Ga. Dolly has been nipped, tucked, liposuctioned and lifted an incredible number of times over the years – and she’s never been shy about it! She used the royalties from her 1973 hit “Jolene” to pay for her very first operation – a breast enhancement. She’s since had more breast implants and a breast lift, cheek implants, collagen injections in her lips and a laser skin peel. She’s also had surgery on her face, waist and hips. The bill for all that work? More than $300,000!
“Dolly has never shied away from her belief in what plastic surgery can do,” said Dr. John Grossman, a top Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon who worked on Dolly for nearly 20 years, when interviewed a few years back. “God also gave Dolly terrific genes and a good bone structure. It’s her great natural beauty that allows me to look like a genius!"
