Anna Delvey might be known as the "Fake Heiress," but she's now showing off her new look, which she claims is very real.
The 34-year-old is walking the public through all she had to do to achieve her new, flawless look, which has set off allegations of plastic surgery amid deportation proceedings.
Anna Delvey was convicted back in 2019 after receiving a guilty verdict for swindling multiple people and businesses.
Anna Delvey Sees The Bright Side To Her Ongoing Deportation Proceedings

The media personality reportedly underwent a significant transformation in her appearance during her 2019 fraud trial. Now, she has switched up her look for a blonde and trimmed appearance.
Her 40-pound weight loss had a significant impact on every part of her face, up to her cheeks, which appeared more chiseled. "I wouldn't call it a makeover. I haven't had any facelift or plastic surgery, and I have a great [glam] team," Delvey explained.
The controversial figure added that she has also incorporated a long list of beauty treatments into her routine. Her beauty hacks include lasers, chemical peels, and PRP therapy.
The therapy, also known as vampire facials, usually involves a process of drawing blood inside a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The extracted treatment is then applied to the face through a micro-needling process to boost collagen production, per Page Six.

Ozempic Is A No-No For The 34-Year-Old

The "Dancing With The Stars" alum credited her newfound freedom, which increased by about 75 miles, for giving her a new lease on life and enabling her to leave her home.
For her weight loss, Delvey admitted that she played around with Ozempic, but she quickly got off the wagon after it left her depressed and miserable. She switched to a healthier alternative: a vibration plate to help tone up her muscles and lose all the weight.
Over the past year, Delvey has experimented with red light therapy for her wrinkles, boosting blood flow with cupping, firming skin tone with microcurrents, magnesium baths to ease stress, and radio frequency to smooth and tighten skin.
She also engaged in cryotherapy to target and reduce inflammation, IVs+NAD for cellular rejuvenation, Genesis laser to address rosacea, and salmon-sperm facials for collagen renewal.

Following a ban that was put in place in 2022, the con artist was finally permitted to return to the media space over a year ago. As shared by The Blast, her lawyer emphasized in court that banning her from using social media platforms was for the wrong reasons.
In her lawyer's words: Delvey's ban has "absolutely no purpose in mitigating any flight risk or threat to the community that Ms. Sorokin may present and clearly violates her constitutional rights."
Delvey, in her appreciation post, thanked her lawyers and interest bodies for fighting for her right to be granted the opportunity to finally control and rewrite the narrative of her life in front of billions of social media users.

Last year was an eventful one for Delvey as she marked her debut on the 33rd season of the dance reality show alongside her dance partner Ezra Sosa.
The Blast stated that the media figure appeared alongside notable Hollywood figures like Tori Spelling, NBA's Dwight Howard, and Jenn Tran from "The Bachelorette."
Delvey's presence was the only fascinating sight on the stage, as she was required by authorities to keep her ICE-mandated ankle monitor on at all times during the program.
The con artist's appearance on the show was revealed in a surprise announcement by Good Morning America, which instantly raised questions bordering on how and why she was selected to be on the show.
Interestingly, Delvey was among the first two celebrities booted out of the show, with the other one being Spelling.

Delvey and Spelling broke down the terms of their elimination from the show on Tori's podcast last September in a story by The Blast.
Delvey was especially embarrassed that the producers had given her such high hopes upon coming on the show, only to be left high and dry. She accused the network of selling her dreams by pulling all the stops to get her on the show and then letting her get booted off so early.
"I see it, yeah, like an attempt ofan embarrassment for us to get eliminated before Eric [Roberts] or Reginald [VelJohnson] in a dancing competition. Even though in the end it's not that big of a deal," the star explained.
She added that it felt like a complete waste of time for her to have appeared on the show, knowing how much she looked forward to dancing on the stage.
"I know the show was very excited to have me on, but the large part of the audience is not the people who would usually be excited about me in general," she concluded.
