Hence, Kim Novak’s face lacks facial sagging, loose skin, wrinkles, and even laugh lines and suggest that Novak has had a facelift and/or a neck lift.
According to the reports on an entertainment portal, the Picnic actor has also had an upper and lower eyelid surgery which in medical terms is known as blepharoplasty.

It was also being speculated that her nose appeared to be thinner, which can be a result of a medical procedure named rhinoplasty, which in simple terms is known as a nose job.
