The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge has left fans stunned after revealing her post-surgery recovery.

The reality TV star, 56, shared two videos documenting the surgery and her post-op recovery on social media and they’ve left fans in complete shock.

In the videos, Judge revealed that she underwent a brow lift, a CO2 laser, and also a blue chemical peel.

“I don’t know how it can get any worse. You can see it’s getting oozy. I can barely open my eyes,” she said in one of the videos.

“Day three and the swelling’s making a statement. Progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s happening,” she captioned the clip.

“Okay guys, this is day three. It’s supposed to be the worst of it when it comes to swelling,’ she told her followers in the video.

“The swelling is from the CO2 laser. You can see it’s all the way down my chest. You can imagine what it feels likes,” she continued.

“Little oozy, my neck and chest,” she stated, showing off the skin on her chest. “The swelling is pretty bad but doesn’t really hurt. Just feels really tight.”

“Dr Mowlds promises me that I turn a corner after this, so I’m excited about that. But overall, looking like it’s supposed to look. Nice and crispy.”

Fans raced to the video’s comment section to share their shock, with one replying: “Oh my God, I didn’t even recognise you!”

“What this really worth it because Jesus look at you!” remarked a second.

Another commented: “OMG! That looks so painful. I hope you’re feeling all right!”

This isn’t Judge’s first time sharing candid updates about her health and going under the knife. Last year, she revealed on social media that she had been hospitalised for an intestinal obstruction after experiencing stomach pain.

Before that, she underwent a lifesaving emergency surgery to remove a strangulated hernia in 2012. The procedure left her with a damaged, off-centre belly button, and in December 2022, she decided to undergo a corrective abdominoplastyI to address the issue.

It was “one of the most painful things I’ve ever done in my life,” Judge told People Magazine.
