The history of catwoman plastic surgery
Jocelyn Wildenstein did not always frighten the public with her appearance. Once upon a time, she had a pleasant face and beautiful features. The desire to save her marriage to billionaire Alec Wildenstein pushed her to many plastic surgeries. A happy family life and millions, millions of dollars were at stake. What was more important is not known.
What was she like
Joslin was born in Switzerland, in the city of Lausanne in 1940. The father, apparently, wanted a boy, so he raised her like a man. She did not differ in tenderness and manners, her mother did not pay attention to her upbringing. The girl learned to fish, hunt, shoot.
Probably, it was these skills that helped the far unfeminine and elegant Jocelyn to fall in love with Alec. They met during a lion safari. They soon got married. The girl could not even imagine what life could be like if there was money. She could spend almost a million dollars on one shopping trip. Her life was like a fairy tale.
Alec and Jocelyn Wildenstein However, over time, the billionaire lost interest in her and began to find inspiration in other women. Fighting and already spoiled by a beautiful life, Jocelyn could not imagine that she would lose her husband. Besides, time spares no one. Her "charm" has already lost value in the eyes of Wildenstein, and he found a new love - the model Anna.
Despite many anti-aging procedures and hours spent in beauty salons, Jocelyn at 55 could not compete with young girls. Then she came up with a "brilliant" solution. It just couldn't do with a facelift. Alec adored big cats - lions. Therefore, the lady decided to turn into a lioness, to become the living embodiment of his passion.
Types of intervention victims of surgeons
The number of plastic surgeries is simply uncountable. Perhaps Jocelyn herself no longer remembers how much and what she did. She has had a brow lift, blepharoplasty, canthopexy, implants in different parts of the face, pumped up with Botox, hyaluronic acid and collagen, lifted the middle part of the face, SMAS and much more. Her face was redrawn many times, until it finally lost its human appearance.
The most obvious and well-known plastic surgeries are the following:
- collagen injections. It was with them that she began her catwoman project. She made injections in the forehead, lips and cheekbones. At first, her face acquired the “desired” relief and tightness. Beauty, of course, it did not add. What she wanted to achieve with such a quantity of the substance pumped into different parts of her face is unknown. Perhaps she wanted to restore the former elasticity and smoothness of the skin. However, over time, everything blurred and turned into an indistinct mass.
- . Now they are constantly pulled up, as if she is surprised by something. Apparently, this is how she fought mimic wrinkles. Catwoman also whitens them so that they are not at all visible on the face.
- . Jocelyn did not limit herself to reshaping her face. In her opinion, the "icing on the cake" of beauty should be a bust of irresponsible size. After plastic surgery, he bulges out of all her very frank cleavage. While the fashion for silicone breasts is disappearing all over the world, Jocelyn is just getting a taste of it. And, meanwhile, she is already 74 years old.
What happened to the face after
Such a number of plastic surgeries could not but affect the condition of the skin and face, the body as a whole. Her skin was covered with bumps, sagging, dull and began to shine, either due to sebaceous secretions, or due to overstretching.
The contour and oval of the face are completely lost. Moreover, the ex-husband pays Jocelyn alimony to maintain her health after numerous operations that disfigured her appearance.
As a result of all the interventions, she became a freak and anti-advertising plastic. Each of her appearances in public causes horror in others. Someone looks with disgust, someone with pity. Catwoman is a prime example of a "victim of plastic surgery" and extravagance with unlimited financial possibilities.
The cost of change
The amount of money laid out for all transactions exceeds any reasonable limits. Jocelyn spent more than $4 million on plastic transformations after the divorce. Blepharoplasty alone is known to have cost Catwoman $250,000. This is not surprising, because after the divorce, she received $ 2.5 billion and another 100,000 annual alimony to improve her health after operations.
Despite the general horror of her new appearance, the former Mrs. Wildenstein herself is more than pleased with the result. She enjoys attending public events and talking to journalists. Jocelyn does interviews and tips about plastic surgery and surgeons. Many of them are on the verge of irony and stupidity.
Here are some of her tips:
- If a woman cannot have plastic surgery to improve her appearance, then she should pay attention to her inner world. There are no other procedures to improve appearance.
- When choosing a good plastic surgeon, it is important to ensure that the reception area and office are clean and well equipped. The staff must be in uniform. It's even better if there are photographs of famous people who underwent surgery here in the lobby.
- In no case should you listen to the surgeon if he warns of possible risks. Do not accept refusal to carry out any changes.
- The result of plastic surgery should be as noticeable as possible, everyone around should notice the “tuning” of the face and body.
- Beauty requires sacrifice. Do not worry about the side effects of plastic surgery, it is for the benefit of beauty.
- If others, and especially women, say that after the operation, the appearance has changed for the worse, then you should not believe this. It's just the envy of those who can't afford to become really attractive.
- Facial rejuvenation is best done with collagen injections.
Jocelyn loves her reflection and does not notice negative comments about her. Such advice speaks of her sense of humor and self-irony or complete stupidity. However, one may not exclude the other.
A little about personal life with a new look
Despite, without exaggeration, a terrifying appearance, Jocelyn Wildenstein leads an active social life. At the same time, she is constantly in the company of men. The last of her hobbies was fashion designer Lloyd Klein, with whom she has an age difference of 17 years. The paparazzi are constantly on the hunt for Jocelyn. A man shows care and protection to his beloved, covering her from camera flashes.
It is not known how real their relationship is, but not so long ago they broke up. More precisely, Jocelyn attacked the man with scissors when he did not want to “break away” from his mobile phone.
After this incident, the payment of alimony was stopped. And now Jocelyn needs to earn a living on her own. She has already decided to sell off some of the property that she does not use.
Jocelyn Waldenstein or Catwoman shows by her example how far one can go in search of the "ideal". A complete reshaping of the face leads not only to real ugliness, but also to serious health problems in general. Plastic surgery is a responsible step. A negative result cannot be "taken back to the store" or redone. Traces of error will forever remain on the face with which you have to live.

Jocelyn Wildenstein was born Joselynnis Diannis da Silva Bezerra Perriset on August 5, 1940 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Little is known about her middle-class childhood, other than that she was the daughter of a struggling department store manager.
At 17, her life changed. She began dating Swiss film producer Cyril Piguet. Jocelyn later told New York magazine that they moved to Paris two years later. “Then my life changed. Lausanne is very boring, but I started meeting amazing, brilliant people, ”she said.
In an interview, Jocelyn noted that she never tried to build a career, as she had "a different talent." “I never worried about my career. I am very good at decorating. I’m probably even very good at decorating.”
Jocelyn later had an affair with European director Sergio Gobbi that lasted five years. She spent a lot of time exploring Africa, a continent she truly fell in love with. “Africa is heaven. There are people who look at life differently. They love adventure,” she told New York magazine.
Her high life allowed her to rotate in the highest circles around the world. Jocelyn met Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi (pictured with his wife) through her love of hunting. In Africa, he brought Jocelyn to her future husband Alec Wildenstein.
In 1977, Jocelyn met Alec on a safari with friends in Kenya. Alec Wildenstein was from a family of art collectors and horse racing experts. Jocelyn told Vanity Fair magazine that on their first date they went to the top of the hill on motorcycles and kissed for the first time. Pictured is Alec's brother Guy (left) at the Monet exhibition.
On April 30, 1978, Alec and Jocelyn secretly married in Las Vegas. But when they had their second wedding in Lausanne, Alec's father Daniel didn't show up. “He was basically against marriage. My father checks everything. He tried to warn me,” Alec told Vanity Fair. The couple had two children, Diana and Alec Jr.
A year after the wedding, Jocelyn began to spend wealth on large-scale cosmetic surgeries. She and Alec did blepharoplasty. As many biographers have written, Jocelyn constantly changed her face to look more like a cat.
According to the Daily Mail, she spent £2 million on surgeries to please her husband who adored big cats. A woman adopted a lynx as a pet and told Vanity Fair that lynxes have perfect eyes.
Alec Wildenstein admitted in an interview: “She went crazy. I've always been the last to know. She thought she could fix her face like some piece of furniture. Skin doesn't work that way. But she didn't listen to me."
In 1997, Jocelyn found her husband in bed with 21-year-old Russian model Elena Zharikova. As a result, a quarrel broke out, during which Alec allegedly aimed a pistol at Jocelyn and after that spent the night in prison. That year, Alec left Jocelyn and divorce proceedings began.
The process was complex and dragged on for two years. Alec told Vanity Fair that Jocelyn was rumored to have once worked as a courtesan for Madame Claude, the owner of a Parisian brothel.
Vanity Fair went into detail about Alec having a falling out with the kids over the divorce, as he blocked Jocelyn's phone and credit cards, cut her monthly allowance from $150,000 to $50,000, and fired her accountant.
The media scrutiny of the divorce took a toll on Jocelyn, who became obsessed with her appearance. The tabloids called her "the bride of Wildenstein" (similar to the bride of Frankenstein) and "catwoman". To combat this, she hired as her publicist Edward Rollins (pictured), who advised the Republican party's public relations campaign.
As a result, Joslin was awarded 2.5 billion in a lump sum, as well as $ 100 million annually for 13 years after the divorce. However, the judge ruled that she was not eligible to use the funds for any further plastic surgery.
In 2001, Alec inherited half of his father's business empire, which was valued at $10 billion. It included one of the world's largest private art collections. This helped pay Jocelyn's alimony. Alec died seven years later at the age of 67. Since the divorce, Wildenstein has rarely appeared in public.
Jocelyn got into the camera lenses of photojournalists only when she attended fashion shows with her boyfriend, designer Lloyd Klein. He makes outfits for various pop artists including Nicki Minaj and Pink. The couple started dating in the early 2000s.
In December 2016, their relationship suddenly broke down after a violent fight at Jocelyn's apartment.
Wildenstein was arrested for the first time on charges that she scratched Klein's face and stabbed him with scissors in a fight. Klein claimed that he was forced to lock Jocelyn in the dressing room until the police arrived so that she would stop attacking him. In the video, a former socialite hits Klein with a metal tray as he tries in vain to calm her down.
Just a few days later, Klein was arrested on charges of pushing Jocelyn to the floor when he returned to her apartment to get some things. A spokesman for Klein told People magazine that his client is fully cooperating with the investigation into the case and that the arrest was based on false charges.
Klein does not yet know if he will be charged with assault, theft, grand larceny and criminal mischief, according to the Daily Mail, citing a police source. According to the tabloid, Klein also took Jocelyn's iPhone, another mobile phone, a Swiss ID card and a credit card.
In late December, Jocelyn gave an interview in which she stated that she became bankrupt after her ex-husband's family stopped paying her annual compensation.
Jocelyn Wildenstein, 76, is as famous for her huge alimony as she is for her good looks.
Although the Swiss-born socialite sued her ex-husband Alec for $2.5 billion during a divorce settlement in the late 1990s, she filed for bankruptcy last week.
But this huge alimony is not the only thing that has attracted the attention of the world media. Her penchant for cosmetic surgery and the desire to make her face more "cat-like" to please her ex-husband were also widely reported.
At the same time, in December 2016, her 14-year relationship with French designer Lloyd Klein ended after it became known about mutual domestic violence, which, however, they both deny.
On top of all this, Jocelyn is an accomplished hunter, pilot, and loves art and "decoration."
Here is her crazy life:
Joslyn Wildenstein was born Joslyn Diane Perisse da Silva-Bezerra on August 5, 1940 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Little is known about Jocelyn's upbringing in a middle-class family in Switzerland, except that she was the daughter of a clothing merchant.

She told New York Magazine that the couple moved to Paris two years later. “My life changed then,” Jocelyn said. “Lausanne is very uncomplicated, and there I started meeting excitingly glamorous people.”
Image: MorphStar/YouTube Jocelyn told New York Magazine that she never pursued a career because she had a "different talent". “I never worried about my career. I am very good at decorating. I'm probably exceptionally good at decorating."
After that, she dated European film director Sergio Gobbi for 5 years and they spent a lot of time exploring Africa, the continent that became her love. “Africa is heaven. You will meet people there who look at life differently. They love adventure,” she told New York Magazine.
The life of a socialite has allowed Jocelyn to rotate in elite circles around the world. There, she met Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi - pictured here with his wife - through her passion for hunting. He introduced her in Africa to her future husband, Alec Wildenstein.
In 1977, Jocelyn met Alec on a safari with friends in Kenya. Wildenstein came from a wealthy family of antique dealers and racehorse breeders. According to her, "on the first day they rode motorcycles to the top of the hill, where they kissed for the first time."
On April 30, 1978, Alec and Jocelyn fled to Las Vegas. But at their second wedding ceremony in Lausanne, Alec's father Daniel was absent. “He was generally against marriage,” Alec Wildenstein told Vanity Fair. My father checks things. My father tried to warn me." The couple eventually moved on and had two children, Diana and Alec Jr.

According to the Daily Mail, Jocelyn spent £2m on surgeries to please her husband who loved big cats. She kept a lynx as a pet, telling Vanity Fair that "the lynx has beautiful eyes."
Alec Wildenstein told Vanity Fair: “She was crazy. I was always the last to know about it. She thought she could change her face like a piece of furniture. Skin doesn't work that way. But she didn't want to listen...
In 1997, Wildenshine claimed to have found her husband in bed with 21-year-old Russian model Elena Zharikova, which led to an argument during which Alec allegedly pointed a gun at Jocelyn, causing him to spend the night in jail. Alec left his wife in the same year, after which the divorce proceedings immediately began.
The divorce was extremely messy and dragged on for two whole years. Alec told Vanity Fair about rumors that Jocelyn worked for Madame Claude, the owner of a Parisian brothel, as a courtesan.
The divorce sparked Alec's fight with the kids after he blocked Jocelyn's phone and credit cards, reduced her monthly allowance from $150,000 to $50,000, and fired her accountant.
Press coverage of the divorce was unsettling for Jocelyn, as the media focused on her appearance, calling her "Catwoman". In response, she hired Republican campaign consultant Edward Rollins to improve her PR.
Image: nndb In the end, Jocelyn's efforts were adequately rewarded: she was awarded $ 2.5 billion in alimony and $ 100 million annually for 13 years. However, the judge provided that she could not use any of those payments for further cosmetic surgery.
In 2001, Alec inherited half of his father's $10 billion business empire. It included one of the world's largest private art collections. This helped him fund his alimony payments. However, 7 years later, Alec died at the age of 67.
After the divorce, Wildenstein kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public.
This is the only time she attended the fashion show of her boyfriend, French designer Lloyd Klein. He designs clothes for singers such as Nicki Minaj and Pink. They started dating in the early 2000s.
However, in December 2016, their relationship ended abruptly after an altercation broke out in her apartment.
Wildenstein was arrested on charges of scratching Klein's face and using scissors in an altercation. Klein claimed that he was forced to close Wildenstein in a dressing room until the police arrived in order to stop her attack. However, just a few days later, Klein himself was arrested, who was accused of grabbing and pushing Wildenstein to the floor when he came to the apartment to retrieve his belongings. Klein's representative claimed that Jocelyn slandered his client.
Klein is still awaiting possible charges of assault, as well as robbery, theft and disorderly conduct, according to the Daily Mail, citing a police source, after the man took an iPhone, another cell phone and credit cards without Wildenstein's permission.
The ugliest victim of plastic surgery just got uglier...
At the same time, the appearance of the plastic queen has noticeably changed for the worse: she gained weight, and her face was swollen and swollen.
Jocelyn Wildenstein, who still won't finish transforming into Catwoman with plastic surgery, has become even scarier...
Plastic surgery has given the world more than one beautiful, albeit unnatural face, but, unfortunately, in a thousand successful operations there is one that ends in ugliness. As for socialite Joslyn Windelstein, she seems to have collected at least five of those same “thousandth” procedures: having started her plasticity hobby about 12 years ago, now 63-year-old Windelstein looks like a stretch of a person.
However, the unspoken queen of plastic surgeries aspired to this. In her youth, Jocelyn was a pretty pretty secular girl: good looks and luck helped her jump out to marry one of the richest people in Europe - a representative of the old Swiss family Alec Wildenstein.
However, approaching the 50-year milestone, Jocelyn decided to get a couple of braces and insert facial implants - to give herself a "cat" look. As she later admitted to the press, she was forced to go under the knife by the fear of losing her husband, whose interest in her began to fade. And her husband loved cats so much that Jocelyn decided to become like this animal.
Such a non-standard desire, however, was fulfilled by surgeons. Doctors, apparently, worked on the principle of "every whim for your money," and as a result, a pretty woman turned into a world laughingstock - and in addition she got divorced anyway. However, this did not stop Jocelyn. In the past 12 years, she has had at least 7 facelifts, eyelid surgery, collagen injections in her lips, cheeks and chin, and countless Botox injections.
Moreover, Wildenstein is not shy about his bizarre appearance, he feels happy and constantly appears at social events. In her personal life, she also seems to be all right: recently, Daily Mail journalists captured Jocelyn during a date with designer Lloyd Klein. At the same time, the appearance of the plastic queen has noticeably changed - and again for the worse. Wildenstein gained weight, her face became swollen and swollen, presumably as a result of the new collagen injections.
But Jocelyn is clearly not discouraged.. He kisses with his friend, willingly poses for the camera, even tries to smile at the journalists. And why should she grieve: after her divorce from Alec and his subsequent death, she received a multi-million dollar part of his fortune and about 7 real estate objects around the world.
