The changing faces of Shane Warne: top surgeon suggests Aussie legend has had work done

It’s the strictly off-limits subject whenever he sits down for interview of goes in front of the mic.

But one of the world’s top cosmetic surgeons has claimed cricket legend Shane Warne has almost certainly gone under the knife.

The Aussie great has always been the topic of debate when it comes to surgery – but he’s never been keen to discuss it.

Now Daily Mail Australia have done some digging and may have got to the bottom of it.

Top Beverly Hills surgeon Dr Randal Haworth has lifted the lid on the 48-year-old’s possible activities away from the cricket field.

Warne is seen as one of Australian sport’s all-time greats. The 48-year-old brought legspin out from a dusty closet and made it fashionable when he burst onto the scene 25 years ago with the ball of the century at Old Trafford to dismiss England’s Mike Getting.

He took 1001 wickets in his international career, with 37 five-wicket hauls added for good measure.

But there were low points too. In 2003 he was sent home from the World Cup in disgrace after the superstar was found to have tested positive for a banned substance.

He said at the time it had been given to him by his mother to aid weight loss, something he struggled with throughout his career.

“I suspect that he has dabbled with Botox and perhaps some fillers here and there,” the top doctor told the Mail.

“While women’s faces tend to look younger and softer with the right amount of fat, men’s faces tend to look better with weight loss. Shane’s is no exception – his face has become more chiseled, defined and handsome.

“What’s more interesting is the shape of his eyebrows. It has drastically changed from his younger self when his naturally low-set eyebrows were especially drooping at their outer edge.”

Dr Haworth added: “Now, the outer edge of his eyebrows are significantly elevated reminiscent of Jack Nicholson’s.

“This can be achieved with Botox but I actually suspect a brow lift was performed because of the degree of change is so noticeable.”

Warne previously sparked surgery speculation when he appeared to have undergone a major physical transformation while dating Elizabeth Hurley.

He was quizzed about cosmetic surgery two year ago on reality TV.

In the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle in in 2016 he said he would hold his hands up to it – if he had actually had it done.

“I’m like if I wanted to have some, I would have no issue and if someone asked, I’d say, “Yep, I’ve had some. But until then”.’ he said.
