"Morning everyone. So, yesterday I visited the Hearts of Gold children's hospice and I was devastated. It was such a sad experience. I saw so many beautiful children and couldn't understand why they had to suffer so much. What got to me more was that through their illnesses they were still children, happy children that still wanted to play and boy did some of them crack me up. I must say I was very impressed with how neat they all looked shows they are well taken care of. The nurses and attendants were kind to them and very pleasant. It takes a heart of gold indeed to watch over those amazing souls. In all I'm thankful for their life cos this only means there's hope. We serve a miracle working GOD."

Surgeon Reveals How Much Caitlyn Jenner Spent On Surgeries

We all know Caitlin Jenner had a facial feminization surgery but the 65-year-old’s new face came with a heavy price tag, one estimated to be in the realm of $70,000.

Plastic surgeon Dr David Alessi who is based in Los Angeles, performs nearly a dozen similar surgeries each year, which softens certain characteristically male features and adding a few feminine touches.

Alessi told Page six of the New York Times that he believes Bruce underwent six procedures to get Caitlyn’s face.

Among the surgeries he claims that the former decathlete underwent Rhinoplasty, which runs anywhere between $9k to $15k.  Then a facial rejuvenation surgery that often costs in the neighbourhood of $25,000.

Alessi also think that Caitlyn has had a brow lift (around $12k), cheek implants ($6K-$8K), Adam’s apple shave ($6K-$10K), and Botox ($800).

The total amount the surgeon estimates the cost of all the procedures is around $70,000.

In addition, most patients who undergo similar procedures get yearly touch ups and tweaks, to maintain their appearance and Alessi thinks Caitlyn will be no different.

He also believes Caitlyn will want other procedures down the road, including liposuction to have a more hourglass shape.
