What IS going on with Angelina Jolie's face? Actress prompts plastic surgery rumours as she jets into Venice with Brad Pitt

Strange marks: Experts say the raised skin on Angelina's jaw hints at the actress having undergone a ribbon lift


She is known for her flawless appearance, but Angelina Jolie was seen sporting bizarre marks on her neck while filming her latest movie in Venice.

The actress appeared to have developed two large tucks of skin underneath her right ear. The skin also appeared red and sore.

These latest pictures will fuel speculation that the 34-year-old may have had a 'ribbon lift'- the latest Hollywood plastic surgery craze.

The £4,000 procedure is thought to be behind Superstar Madonna's wrinkle-free skin.
It involves having a small cut made near the earlobe so a thread of absorbable ribbon can be implanted.

The procedure heals within 12 weeks and makes the skin of the neck appear tighter.

Plastic surgeon Abel Mounir told The People: 'It looks as though she's received the ribbon treatment from the gathering of skin just below her earlobe.

'But the picture makes it look as though the fixed mechanism of the ribbon has snapped, resulting in the U-shaped indent under the skin.


Reconciled: Angelina with her formerly estranged father Jon Voight in Venice


'Even if she has not had the ribbon facelift specifically, it appears she has definitely had some minimal invasive surgery done.'

An onlooker in Venice said: 'She looked very, very odd.

'She is usually flawless but the marks are very peculiar. The two prongs of skin have been stretched off her face towards her neck.

'She certainly looks like she's feeling the strain over something.'

Jolie has always denied going under the knife.

After giving birth to her 19-month-old twins with partner Brad Pitt the actress even opted for a 'natural' photo shoot, shunning airbrushing and make-up.

The Oscar-winning actress arrived in Venice last week. She and Pitt, 46, arrived at Marco Polo Airport in a private plane along with the actress's father Jon Voight. It was the first time she had seen Voight in over eight years after a long-running feud.

The couple are staying in a 15th-century palazzo with their six children: daughter Shiloh, three, 19-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted Maddox, eight, Pax, six, and five-year-old Zahara.

The pair needed two speedboats to get their brood and all of their luggage to their accommodation.

Jolie and Pitt have recently threatened legal action after rumours that they are about to split.
