Melissa’s cheeks are a lot fuller and more perky indicating cheek implants. The nose is more prominent and sharper; however it is wider and swollen or puffed at the tip indicating a not-so-good nose job. Botox and dermal fillers have been used to get rid of the laugh lines near the mouth area as well as the forehead wrinkles.
The combination of all these procedures has made Melissa look weird and a lot older than even her mother Joan!
Tragically, Melissa’s mother Joan Rivers died due to complications while a minor throat surgery was done on her. Melissa filed a malpractice legal case against the clinic and surgeons for the procedure that caused cardiac arrest to her mother.
