Jocelyn Wildenstein: From high society to plastic surgery icon
Almost everyone is familiar with Jocelyn Wildenstein and her surgically enhanced face. However, not everyone knows how the Swiss woman looked before she began experimenting with her appearance. At 84, she once had classical facial features.
The story of Jocelyn Wildenstein could inspire a Hollywood film script. Unfortunately, the genre would be more of a drama or even a horror. The fortune that the American received after her divorce from Alec Wildenstein, the heir to an art-dealing empire, turned out to be a curse for her.
During her marriage, the Swiss woman began a risky relationship with plastic surgery, which continues to this day. Recently, she admitted to being bankrupt after being cut off from a divorce settlement of $100 million. Six years ago, she had to file for bankruptcy, claiming that her former husband's family had cut her off from the nine-figure annual payment she secured during the 1999 divorce.

Today, Jocelyn is 84 years old. Her radical transformation into the "woman with the cat face" has made her a pop culture icon. The formerly wealthy woman spent approximately $4 million (over 15 million PLN) on procedures to give her face feline features, which allegedly pleased her husband. Despite the passing years and numerous controversies, Wildenstein still does not give up on further modifying her appearance.
Wildenstein has stayed true to her "outrageous" image for decades. However, before she started experimenting with her look, she could boast classical facial features.
On the Swiss woman's Instagram profile, you can find a photo from half a century ago, where Jocelyn impresses with her natural and dignified appearance. In the aforementioned photograph, the celebrity is holding her first-born daughter Diane in her arms, who celebrated her 45th birthday this year.
The possessor of countless implants and fillers has taken her beauty changes many steps further. The woman, who achieved a caricature-like result from her transformations, was once considered an object of male desire.
