Rather than trying to suggest that there’s “nothing to see here,” Kathy Wakile is being honest about her surgical procedure.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum took to Instagram to reveal why she decided to get a facelift. Furthermore, just hours after the procedure, Kathy shared photos of her bandaged face.
“Hi friends. I’m a few hours post-op and back home, comfortable, resting and not in any pain,” she shared on June 24. “I’m a little sleepy, as expected, and will be taking it easy for the next few days.”
The former Bravo star underwent a facelift
“Today I had a neck and lower facelift, along with a brow lift and lower blepharoplasty,” she captioned the video. “As I mentioned before, 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 changed.”
“I’ve chosen to share this journey openly because I know so many people are curious about the process and may be considering something similar themselves,” she added. “I’ll continue to keep you updated along the way.”
“I haven’t taken any pain meds because I don’t have any pain,” the RHONJ alum added. “You can see I’m speaking just fine. I’m taking it easy today. I just had something to eat. A little swelling … I still have markings from the doctor. Excited to see the results.”
Not only did she thank her doctors for taking “such wonderful care of me,” but she also sent some love to her well-wishers.
Prior to her surgery, Teresa Giudice’s estranged first cousin shared a video explaining why she decided to have the procedure. “This year, I turned 60 and decided to do something for myself,” she wrote. “Not to change who I am — I’ve been looking at the same face for 60 years, and I really like her. What I wanted was simply to restore and revive what time and life naturally change.”
“Can we normalize supporting one another instead of judging one another for the choices we make about our own bodies?” she added. “What makes someone feel confident and comfortable in their own skin is their decision alone.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently streaming on Peacock.
