HAS BIN LADEN UNDERGONE A FACELIFT?

HAS BIN LADEN UNDERGONE A FACELIFT?

AUSTIN, Texas (Wireless Flash) – U.S. officials say Osama bin Laden can’t hide forever, but a plastic surgeon says he might be able to – if he’s had a face change. Texas-based plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Ersck believes there’s a good chance bin Laden has already had reconstructive surgery, and if he has, no one would be the wiser. Dr. Ersck says the procedure and recovery time would be as short as three weeks, and the only way to tell it was the same man would be to find bin Laden’s plastic surgeon. Dr. Ersck has even created computer images of what a changed Osama could look like, including changes like sunken-eye sockets, a thinner nose and a clean-shaven face with a weak-looking chin. The price of a face change could cost around $50,000, “a drop in the bucket” for the known millionaire, says Dr. Ersck.
