Gaddafi Plastic Surgery Done By Dr Liacyr Ribeiro

Dr. Liacyr Ribeiro claimed he performed plastic surgery to controversial Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The secret four-hour procedure was done in 1995 (Gadhafi was 53 at that time) to remove fat from Gadhafi’s belly and inject it into his wrinkled face, according to Huff Post.

“He told me that he had been in power for 25 years at that time, and that he did not want the young people of his nation to see him as an old man,” Dr. Liacyr Ribeiro recalled. “I recommended a facelift, but he refused.”

“I warned Gadhafi that the effects of the operation I performed would last for about five years, that it had an expiration date after which the skin would sag and the wrinkles would reappear,” Ribeiro said.

“He said he would call me if he needed me to come back,” and about five years ago there was such a request, but Ribeiro had a family obligation. “They never called me again,” he said.
