Tamra Judge is providing a graphic update on her healing journey after getting a brow lift.
“Day three and the swelling’s making an announcement. Progress isn’t at all times pretty, but it surely’s happening. 💆🏼♀️✨,” Judge, 56, captioned a video shared via Instagram on Sunday, September 1. Within the video, Judge’s face looks patchy and swollen, a side effect she attributed to the CO2 laser utilized in the cosmetic surgery procedure.
“Okay guys, that is day three. It’s alleged to be the worst of it in terms of swelling,” she said. “You possibly can see it’s all the best way down my chest, but you possibly can imagine what it appears like.”
Judge’s graphic video cut to a different clip from later within the day, which showed her face had swelled significantly. “[The] swelling is alleged to be at its worst right away,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star shared. “I don’t understand how it could get any worse. I feel like my skin’s gonna burst.” She also added that her skin was “getting oozy” as well.
It’s often thought that celebrities who’ve had cosmetic surgery will go to any lengths to cover their secret, but stars from Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to Courteney Cox have been candid about their experiences going under the knife. Some celebrities have even shared their cosmetic surgery nightmares. Heidi Montag, for instance, developed health problems attributable to her […]
“[I can] barely open my eyes,” she continued. “Hoping to show a corner tomorrow. Little oozy [on] my neck and chest, the swelling is pretty bad but it surely doesn’t really hurt. It just feels really tight.” She noted that her doctor had “promised” her she would “turn a corner after this, so I’m enthusiastic about that. But overall, looking prefer it’s alleged to look. Nice and crispy.”
The Bravo personality has been providing regular updates on her brow lift recovery since she first posted about it via Instagram on Saturday, August 31.
“OK guys, I made it. I’m one hour in recovery,” she said in a video after her surgery, which showed Judge with bandages wrapped round her face. “I don’t feel bad. My eyes are all blurry cause there’s like, I don’t know, something like vaseline in there or something. But let the healing begin.”
In her caption, Judge took the time to thank the doctors who oversaw her procedure. “Taking you all along on my journey! I visited Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach, who works alongside Dr. Ambe, for a brow lift, CO2 laser, and a blue chemical peel,” she wrote. “Seven years ago, I had a lower facelift but skipped the upper — like painting the home but forgetting the trim. Stay tuned for updates!”
Judge, who has never been shy about her cosmetic surgery, got a lower facelift in 2017.
“I call it a comeback,” she said on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2018. “It’s only a mini. Don’t call it a facelift, call it a comeback! That’s my season 13 tagline.”
