Source close to ex-president: Eyelid surgery cause of Ahmadinejad’s swollen face

On Tuesday, former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the mausoleum of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini in southern Tehran where journalists noticed his face, especially the area below his eyes, had swollen up.

This raised questions about the cause of the swelling and pictures of the former president quickly ricocheted around social media.

But a source close to Ahmadinejad dismissed concerns over the matter, saying the former president underwent a surgical operation on his eyelids.

Many Iranians on social media platforms had speculated that the former president might have had a cheek botox operation.
