Tamra Judge Takes Fans Along On Her Plastic Surgery Journey

Tamra Judge is giving the fans all the tea on her plastic surgery recovery journey so far, and she has gained quite an audience!

The "Real Housewives of Orange County" turned her Instagram into an update channel for her recent beauty procedures as she slowly but surely recovers.

Tamra Judge visited the surgeon's office for a brow lift and more upgrades to some plastic surgery procedures she has done in the past.

The reality star informed her 1.8 million Instagram followers of her healing progress after she went on the surgery table three days ago. Judge stated that she still had some swelling on her face from the surgery, saying:

"Okay, guys, this is day 3. It is supposed to be the worst of it when it comes to swelling. The swelling is from the CO2 Laser. You can see it is all the way down to my chest."

She added another update at the end of day 3, citing that the swelling was supposed to be at its worst, but the doctor promised her that she would begin feeling instant relief after the painful third-day curve.

Her fans swarmed to the comments to give their opinions on the procedure, and this user commended her for "honestly with all the cosmetic things that you do to yourself that most lie about."

Someone encouraged her to "hang in there," as she also got a CO2 laser and initially panicked on the third day when she looked like Judge. She added, "Believe it or not, it does heal, and your skin will look amazing."

Another user suggested that the reality star fixed her character instead of her face, stating that she might become "a nicer person."

Judge started the process strong and did not leave her fans in the dark about her trip to the operating theatre.

In her caption on the day of the surgery, she explained that she "visited Dr. Donald Mowlds in Newport Beach, who works alongside Dr. Ambe, for a brow lift, CO2 laser, and a blue chemical peel."

The TV personality explained that seven years ago, she got a lower facelift but skipped the upper part of her face, comparing it to "painting the house but forgetting the trim."

Judge urged her fans to stay tuned for more updates and then recorded herself getting wheeled out of the theatre and in her bed at home 3 hours post-surgery.

Compared to the pain she complained about on the 3rd day, the star revealed that her first day was painless, and the medics encouraged her to take her meds for a swift recovery.

Back in July and in the spirit of new beginnings, The Blast reported that the mom-of-four revealed in an interview that she recorded hopeful strides in her damaged relationship with her daughter, Sidney.

The complicated relationship between the two was caused by the bitter divorce between her and Sidney's dad, Simon Barney, in 2011, which saw Sidney take her father's side.

Judge had previously described the divorce process as emotionally tumultuous for her, and she has gone through the process twice! First, with Barney, with whom she shared daughters Sidney and Sophia, her son Spencer, and Darren Vieth, with whom she shared her son Ryan.

She stated on the "Virtual Reali-Tea" podcast that she reached out to Sidney and her brother, and they have made some progress.

Judge shared that she was proud of her eldest daughter's accomplishments so far, but seeing them reunite fully will be her ultimate joy. She declared, "I mean, I can wish for more, but it's in God's hands really, God's timing."

Judge joined the franchise in season 3, and she instantly became a fan favorite due to her quirky one-liners and fiery character on the show.

Her time on "RHOC" before her controversial exit in 2020 was filled with shocking moments.The icon chased down Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers in one episode and hid from Kelly Dodd in the bushes in another.

She also gave the show its first-ever wine toss that sealed her legendary status in the show. Bravo did not hide their admiration for the 57-year-old as she appeared in a three-episode spin-off, "Tamra's OC Wedding," which covered her wedding to Eddie Judge in 2013.

Per her exit on the show, The Blast gathered that she was let go for demanding too much money from Bravo after 12 years with the network.

Two years after the controversial exit, Judge thrilled her fans with the pleasant news of a return to the network. The 57-year-old detailed that she would return for the show's 17th season on her X (formerly known as Twitter) account.

The short announcement clip featured her looking super stylish in a blue dress as she posed in front of a green screen to promote the show.

The reality star initially denied the return, responding, "Sorry, it's not happening! Concentrate on the future, not on the past," when the topic of appearing on the show came up in a question-and-answer session in 2022.

How long would it take for Tamra Judge to get her new shiny face? The answer will surely be on her Instagram page.
