"It's not plastic surgery," she told Us Weekly exclusively. "I had corrective jaw surgery. ... Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons ... so my jaw and teeth could properly realign ... . I don't obsess over my face."
The younger Palin said she is "absolutely thrilled" with the results.
"I look older, more mature and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face," she told Us Weekly.
Palin competed on "Dancing with the Stars" last season. BIO recently announced she will be the focus of a new reality series for the cable network. The show is to follow Palin as she moves from Alaska to Los Angeles to work for a small charity.
