Maradona gets cosmetic lift in Colombia

The 46-year-old former player took advantage of his stay to also undergo other procedures and "lose a few years," Alejandro Rada, a Colombian doctor who worked on the star, was quoted by AFP as saying on Caracol broadcast network.

Maradona`s double chin was reduced, and "we diminished the number of wrinkles on his forehead and between his eyebrows," Rada said.

"We also raised his eyebrows so that he could have an even more expressive look," Rada added.

Maradona, who already departed Colombia, did not undergo plastic surgery but rather chose unspecified "high technology treatments that have nothing to do with the scalpel," Rada said.
