Shane Warne's new appearance - Doctor verdict

Shane Warne has recently come under fire with many believing he's gone under the knife for his new, thinner, more youthful look and some believe it's all down to his new romance with Liz Hurley.

The retired crickter has lost two-and-a-half stone and is believed to have had his eyebrows plucked or waxed.

His father recently hit back at the jibes, telling the Mirror: "Well, I think he looks great. People should leave Shane and his image alone.

Shane puts his new appearance down to drinking a range of £200 meal replacement shakes and performing a hundred press-ups and sits-ups daily.

He has denied having cosmetic surgery but said his more youthful looks are down to using Liz's moisturisers.

Shane himself took to his microblogging site to defuse claims that Liz has made him diet. He wrote: "I have always taken pride in my appearance and an attack on [Liz] is unfair. I'm proud of how I look and worked my butt off for four months."

Mr Frati, surgeon at The Harley Medical Group comments on Shane's new drastic appearance and discusses what surgery he may or may have not had.

He says: "Although Shane Warne does look quite dramatically different, I would say he has achieved this through a series of non-surgical treatments, which have tightened and plumped his skin in the right place giving him his overall younger looking appearance, as opposed to surgical procedures.

"When comparing before and after photos of Shane Warne, it looks like he has had Botox and also a facial peel or laser resurfacing to remove the lines and wrinkles on his face and achieve the smoother, tighter looking face that he has now.

"In my opinion it also looks like he has had Fillers - his cheeks are more plumped and defined, which have helped to give his cheekbone area a more youthful appearance."
