Plastic surgery in Orange County is not news, unless Real Housewives are involved. Then it’s an issue about whether to be transparent about it or not. And who could blame one of the cast members for getting a little nip-tuck before filming?
Emily Simpson decided to get a little work done. According to E! News, the Real Housewives of Orange County star underwent a lower face/neck lift. Then she took to social media to share her reasons for going under the knife.
“Being middle-aged, gaining 30 pounds and then losing it, menopause,” Emily wrote on Instagram. “WHO knows what the exact culprit is but a couple years ago I was watching myself on TV, and to my utter surprise I realized that I had completely lost my jawline,” she said.
The before and after pics show off the work of a skilled surgeon, giving subtle results. Dr. Siamak Agha got a shout out from Emily, who called their work “top tier.” Dr. Agha has been Emily’s go-to medical provider for years, and the mother of three even has future surgery planned.

“He also did my breast implant removal, lift and fat transfer for my chest followed up by another surgery recently that I’ll talk more about soon!” Emily stated. “Also, just a reminder that all women are allowed to choose what they do with their bodies and how they would like to age. From completely natural to surgery… it’s up to each woman.”
But Emily doesn’t just take the easy way out. She is disciplined in her workouts as well.
Emily said, “I still work out hard and work out consistently, but once you reach a certain age there are just things you cannot change naturally. I choose a combo approach!”
The brunette beauty gave a similar message two years ago, when she discussed having a facelift. “I do work out with my trainer three to four times a week and we always work out very early,” Emily said at the time. “We do 6 a.m. workouts at Salt Creek Beach, which is by my house…We do hills, we do squats, we run up and down stairs at the beach, so that’s kind of been therapeutic too. It’s really a way to kind of release all the stress and toxins in your brain.”
Perhaps a little nostalgia is to blame for Emily’s recent plastic surgery. The reality star recently turned 47 years old, and posted a reflective message on Instagram at the time.
This is 47,” Emily wrote. “I honestly never thought I’d be 47. In my 20s I naively thought I’d just be eternally youthful. I couldn’t fathom being old like my parents and teachers. But here I am… about to reach 50 soon,” she said.
For fans looking for a confidence booster, Emily suggested self-love and acts of empowerment. She wrote, “If I could give young ladies advice it would be to go to a movie alone and enjoy it. Eat at a restaurant alone and just enjoy your time with yourself. Doing these things will instill a sense of power and confidence in you that will help you with all future trials and tribulations,” the RHOC star wrote.
