Tamra Judge is on the mend. The Real Housewives of Orange County star, who has been documenting the painful aftermath of her recent plastic surgery, revealed that she was feeling “much better” by the end of the fourth day post-op.
Judge recently had a brow lift, a carbon-dioxide laser treatment and a blue chemical peel — which have left her face swollen and “crispy,” as she described on TikTok.
“This is day four. This is by far the ugliest day of them all,” Judge said. “The swelling is starting to go down but the skin is just crispy. The corners of my mouth are crispy. My lips look like they’ve been blown up. My eyes were crispy shut this morning. You can see the only place they didn’t laser was my eyebrows. That’s funny.”
The reality star shared that she wanted to refrain from taking any pain medication that day as it was causing issues with her stomach.
But by the end of the day, Judge posted another update in which she told her followers that while her face still “itches” and “burns,” the swelling had begun to subside since her last video.
“It is the end of day four and I am feeling so much better,” she said. “A lot of swelling in my forehead and my eyes. The steroids have taken down a lot of the swelling in my face from the CO2 laser but I believe this [swelling] from here to here is from the brow lift.”
Judge also showed off the staples in her scalp, which are getting taken out at the end of this week, before she promised to be fully healed by the time she has to film The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion.
“Our reunion is over a month away so I will be nice and healed by reunion,” she said. “My skin will look fresh.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs every Thursday at 9/8c on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
