GENE SIMMONS: Post-Face-Lift Photo Available

March 19, 2007

TMZ.com has exclusively obtained the first brutal image of KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, minutes after doctors surgically altered his face. Check it out at this location.

Gene Simmons and longtime companion Shannon Tweed underwent dual face lifts that were taped for the second season of A&E's half-hour reality series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels".

Asked why they decided to go for dual face lifts, Simmons — who had a face lift and liposuction, to be featured on two April 1 episodes — recenty told USA Today, "Honest to God, it just sort of happened."

What you'll see, according to Simmons, is "like a biology class … more fascinating than gory."

Tweed, who turned 50 March 10, had her face lift done by the same Beverly Hills surgeon. "Plastic surgery was Gene's idea. But I wasn't going to let him look younger than me," she says.
