Janice Dickinson, 69, reveals she was 32 when she got first plastic surgery procedure amid brief Sylvester Stallone romance: 'I started getting jowls'
Janice Dickinson hasn't been shy about her love of plastic surgery — having previously spent thousands of dollars on procedures to defy the aging process.
And on the new episode of Kaitlyn Bristowe's Off The Vine podcast, the supermodel, 69, said that she got her very first cosmetic surgery at age 32 while dating A-list actor Sylvester Stallone.
'What point in your career were you like, "I'm gonna start getting surgery done?"' Bristowe asked.
'Oh, gosh. I was dating Sylvester Stallone, and I was 32,' Dickinson replied. 'I noticed I started getting jowls...'
To tackle the issue, Dickinson got a 'mini face-lift' done.

A mini face-lift is meant to address early signs of aging as it corrects sagging on the lower third of the face.
It requires smaller incisions than a regular face-lift, minimal downtime and the results can last up to 10 years.
Dickinson recommended that Bristowe — who she said she felt she was 'at that age' where jowls start to become a concern — should also go the mini face-lift route.
'Get a mini face lift. It kept me going up until last week when I noticed [my lip lines]. I did smoke for a bit. Don't smoke. It's bad for you,' she said.
When asked if she 'regrets' any of her past surgeries, Dickinson replied: 'Oh, no.'
Back in 1994, Stallone and Dickinson had an affair while he was in a relationship with his now-wife Jennifer Flavin. At that time, Dickinson would have been age 39 not 32.
They'd met a year prior at a charity event and Stallone eventually left Flavin to be with the top model.
They got engaged but Stallone called it off six months later after learning that he was not the father of her daughter Savannah, who was born in February 1994, as per The Mirror.
It was later revealed that businessman Michael Birnbaum, who she dated in the early 1990s, was Savannah's biological father.
Stallone rekindled his relationship with Flavin, who is the mother of his three adult daughters, in 1995 and they tied the knot 1997.
Though she's tight-lipped about her Stallone fling, Dickinson is an open book when it comes to her cosmetic procedures.
'I noticed I started getting jowls,' she told Bristowe. To tackle the issue, Dickinson said that she got a 'mini face-lift' done; seen at age 32 in 1986

She previously admitted on E!'s Botched that she's 'no stranger to plastic surgery' as she's previously undergone a boob job, a tummy tuck, neck and face-lifts and liposuction.
She's also tried injectables like Botox but insists that her plump pout is natural.
In 2013, Dickinson declared herself bankrupt owing almost $1 million in taxes and unpaid cosmetic bills.
At the time of her bankruptcy filing, the star owed $8,000 to Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein and over $8,000 in debt to the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center.
In 2007 her son Nathan said he was desperate for her to stop, but she said: 'I won't do any more plastic surgery – if he's looking.'
In 2015 she appeared on Botched to fix a breast enlargement done 30 years prior which had left her with rippling across her breasts.
During the episode, Janice was seen swearing, demanding drugs and, after her implants were replaced, walking around naked, which led Dr Terry Dubrow to brand her his worst patient.
Janice was once one of the world's top models, appearing on the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Playboy magazines as well as working with fashion houses including Versace, Oscar de la Renta and Calvin Klein.
