Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge has shared an update on the aftermath of several cosmetic procedures.
The TV personality underwent a brow lift, CO2 laser and a blue chemical peel earlier this month as a 57th birthday present to herself.
Last night, four days after the surgery, Tamra shared on Instagram that her asking was now ‘crispy, flaky and healing’ and that progress was ‘definitely being made.’
The Traitors star spent days in bed recovering from the procedures and previously spoke to the Daily Mail about the ‘pain’ she was experiencing that left her not being able to bear any sounds.
Tamra said yesterday: ‘At first it was my forehead that hurt so bad for three days. I couldn’t even listen to people talk. I couldn’t have the TV on. All I could do is just lie in one spot,’ she continued.
‘So after a couple of days of that, then it became my teeth that were throbbing, and then my sinuses were throbbing, and now my face is crunchy. So every day it’s something new.’

Tamra explained she went under the knife to balance out a lower face lift she underwent in 2017.
She said her doctor also suggested the CO2 laser treatment and blue chemical peel to improve the texture of her skin.
Tamra told the Daily Mail: ‘I have a lot of brown spots and fine lines and stuff like that, so it’s supposed to take 10 years off your skin. So I said, “Sure, let’s do it” – not knowing that the CO2 laser was going to be this brutal!’
She also said she decided to share updates on her cosmetic work to be ‘open and transparent.’

Tamra explained: ‘I don’t want people to think I’m doing nothing and this is the way I look. And if I can help somebody else be like, “You know what? I want to do that too. I want to feel better about myself.” Why not?’
Tamra was first cast on The Real Housewives Of Orange County in its third season in 2008.
She left the Bravo reality show in 2020 only to return two years later after she was asked back due to dwindling ratings.
‘After two years of sitting on the bench, being on pause, getting fired, I came back with a lot of energy,’ Tamra told Entertainment Tonight of her comeback.

‘I had a lot of built-up resentment and anger, and it might show. I had some things to get off my chest. Nobody was off limits.’
Tamra’s other TV credits include Tamra’s OC Wedding, along with husband Eddie Judge, and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip.
This year, she appeared as a contestant on the second season of Peacock’s reality competition series The Traitors.
Outside of TV, Tamra is a businesswoman, primarily in the fitness and wellness space. She previously owned a studio in California and launched a CBD range, Vena CBD, with her husband. Tamra has also been a real estate agent.
Real Housewives Of Orange County is available to stream on Hayu in the UK.
