The Real Housewives of Latest Jersey alum Kathy Wakile is recuperating after undergoing a facelift.
“Hi friends, I’m a number of hours post-op and back home, comfortable, resting and never in any pain,” Wakile, 60, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 24. “I’m somewhat sleepy, as expected, and can be taking it easy for the subsequent few days.”
Wakile underwent a neck and lower facelift, in addition to a brow lift and lower blepharoplasty on her eyelids.
“This isn’t about changing the face I’ve known and loved for 60 years, it’s simply about restoring and refreshing what time has naturally modified,” she explained of her reasons for going under the knife. “I’ve chosen to share this journey openly because I do know so many persons are inquisitive about the method and will be considering something similar themselves.”
Wakile further thanked her surgical team, Dr. T. Y. Steven Ip and Melissa Locke, for “taking such wonderful care” of the Bravolebrity.
“[You were] so gentle and reassuring throughout the complete process. I’m incredibly grateful to be in such caring hands,” Wakile continued. “Thanks all for the love, support, and well wishes ♥️.”
Wakile, who starred on RHONJ seasons 3 through 5 before appearing as a “friend of” in the subsequent two seasons, decided to get cosmetic surgery after her milestone sixtieth birthday.
“This yr, I turned 60 and decided to do something for myself. Not to vary who I’m, [but] I’ve been the identical face for 60 years, and I actually like her,” Wakile wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 23. “What I wanted was simply to revive and revive what time and life naturally change.”
For Wakile, she desired to publicly embrace her decision to get a facelift.
“Can we normalize supporting each other as an alternative of judging each other for the alternatives we make about our own bodies?” she quipped. “What makes someone feel confident and cozy in their very own skin is their decision alone.”
On the time, Wakile noted how Ip and Locke’s team “understood exactly what [she] wanted” from the procedures.
“[I was looking for] a conservative approach that will leave me looking like myself,” she explained. “[But] just somewhat more rested, refreshed and revived.”
These Real Housewives should not afraid to document their cosmetic surgery recovery, bandages and all. In November 2023, The Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury’s husband, Sergio Carrallo, took followers along on her postoperative journey. Within the vlog shared via Instagram, Stanbury sat within the passenger’s seat of the automotive while she was covered […]
Wakile is currently recovering from the procedures.
“Here I’m home, post-op, and feeling no pain,” she further explained in her Wednesday upload. “Every little thing went well, and I’m excited. I haven’t taken any pain meds ‘cause I don’t have any pain. You’ll be able to see I’m speaking just positive and I feel great.”
