Plastic surgery
Australian singer and actress Dannii Minogue always looks brilliant and appears without makeup on very rare occasions.
How does she manage to look so young?
Speaking about her beauty, skincare, and anti-aging treatments, Dannii said: “When I’m not working, I do minimal makeup, because when there are children, there is even less time for it.”
The singer admitted that the secret of her beauty is in laser procedures and peeling.
Cosmetic procedures certainly make the skin fresh and rejuvenated. But experts in the field of plastic surgery looking at the photos before and after are sure that only procedures were not enough.
There are rumors that the appearance of Dannii Minogue has been greatly changed by numerous plastic surgeries.
In all likelihood, Minogue had a nose job. After rhinoplasty, the wide and long nose became small with a pronounced nose bridge line.
Dannii’s rounded face turned into a thin one with large cheekbones. Minogue probably uses contouring with filler injections in the lower third of the face in the area of cheekbones, chin, and lips. Implants made her face more sculptural.
Minogue has radiant skin and no wrinkles in the forehead area, which indicates the use of Botox injections.
