I prefer the "before" version. ....by an Alaskan Mile. She'll be regretting it bit bigtime soon, if she isn't already.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure - but not plastic surgery.
The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw.
The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.
"Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons," she told the magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday.
Palin said she had the procedure so her jaw and teeth could properly realign.

I would imagine having your jaws wired shut for 6 weeks would cause you to shed afew pounds...
I think she looks amazing.
You cannot do that surgery without wiring the jaw. Sometimes it even necessitates removing a tooth or two to insert the straw, and I don’t think that she is “as fat as ever”. I think that she is not wearing all that tight full body underwear that she wore before.
I didn’t have to have my jaws wired to lose enough pounds to look skeletal at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. It would have had the same effect had my jaws been wired.
To begin with, I was not and am not over weight.
As a fatty that she is, in my place, she would have just looked...well...to have lost some weight...but not much.
“This indicates to me she was not on a liquid diet and lied about the so called reason for her surgery because she is as fat as ever.”
And people wonder why eating disorders are raging out of control in young women.
Wanker.
I believe you, Eva.
Thank you.
Just for the record, and I won’t elaborate, I ended up with a very bad breakage (bone). That was not the problem. A couple of weeks later, I came down with bronchites. From late Oct until late Jan, I was quite ill. Today I still tire easily today.
I think she looks good. She actually looks more like her mom in the “after” photo. And unlike plastic surgery, this looks natural.
Why on earth would she even be invited to the White House Correspondent’s Dinner?
Actually, I did a search on the before and after pictures on the web, and they just don’t match, some show her face much thinner than others and some show her looking just as fat as ever. We just don’t know which ones were touched up.
I’m sorry to hear that. But it’s not an excuse for calling a beautiful young woman a ‘fatty’. I suffered with bulimia as a teen and you obviously have no idea how damaging saying such things can be to a young girl.
I don’t have any reason to doubt that she needed the corrective jaw surgery, but I think she may have had a little “extra” work done at the same time. Either way, it makes no difference to me. She’s old enough to make her own decisions.

She almost looks like a skinnier version of Snooki on the pic on the right.
Very good call.
Her jaw looks deformed now. Far from “corrected.”
Perhaps Snooki was the model for this butcher job.
More like Jay Leno.
Why should she have to lie just to please you?
It helps them to detract from their own miserable, worthless lives.
The Palins are an honest family, I take them at their word.
