Whitney Houston Autopsy: Scars Reveal Cosmetic Surgery

The 48-year-old was also scarred by decades of cosmetic surgery, alcohol-fueled fights and falls.


She had marks on her stomach, chest and upper left thigh believed to be from cosmetic procedures. A scar on her left forearm may also have been self-inflicted. Source: nypost.com


So lets take inventory:


(1) Stomach scars: Probably a tummy tuck. Liposuction scars are usually small and probably would have escaped the eye of the pathologist.


(2) Chest scars: Probably a breast augmentation plus or minus breast lift surgery.


(3) One upper thigh: Probably a scar revision. Maybe not cosmetic. Cosmetic procedures usually occur on both sides.


(4) Left forearm scars: Probably from cutting. Kinda sad. Whitney had a hard life.
