Cosmetic Procedure Claims

When the actress was spotted going to a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills, plastic surgery reports immediately circulated on the web. It was further instigated when the actress sported a new look, that is bigger eyes and slimmer chin. Since then, people have been convinced that Gyllenhaal underwent eyelid surgery and chin reduction.

Aside from these procedures, she has also allegedly bought herself some botox injections and chemical peel. The result is a wrinkle-free face, notably flawless without any lines visible. Her bright and clear face is said to be the result of using chemical peel. Overall, it seems that the actress, if ever she did all these procedures, has achieved her goal because she currently looks great!
